Basic Information

Anatomy

Mory Drops are a quadrupeds type beast. Its body is protected by a shell with numerous layers of spiky points pointed toward its head. Their head resembles that of an elephant, with a lengthy trunk, floppy ears, and two eyes. Their head and legs are the only visible part of their anatomy. It has strong but pliable skin. Their hoofs resemble that of a liquid-filled balloon that upon contact with the ground, matches the dimensions of the ground allowing the creature to softly walk.

Biological Traits

Their communication style is one of their most distinguishing biological characteristics. Two Mory Drop trunks are pushed up next to each other. They will expel mucus from their right nostril. This will be inserted into the receiver's left nostril. This mucus contains feelings, memories, and thoughts that the Mory Drop wants to express to the other. They can share mucus bubbles at the same time.

Another distinguishing feature is that they can retract their legs and heads inside their bodies while their shell gently expands and forms into a ball. The ball form is utilized for traveling largely over water at a high speed of 18 miles per hour, and it also makes for an extremely durable outer shell.

Ecology and Habitats

They are found in meadows and woodlands, and they prefer to live near bodies of water. This is because their mode of communication necessitates a steady flow of fluids for their body. As a result, Mory Drop prefer to live in pleasant climates where it does not get too cold or too hot in most circumstances.
