Often sighted by weary travellers, the Jumpalope was once considered to be a mythical creature. This behorned lagamorph thrives in the desert as it can store a week’s worth of water in its cactus tail. To provide camouflage, its ears change colour based on the time of day. Although the antlers look well at home on its head, Jumpalope wears the shed antlers of Staant, which over time completely bonds to their skull.
