Grossbark

The Grossbark is a large, terrestrial herbavore native to the ice plains of Genelsia.

Description
The Grossbark is very large, about the size of a modern day Black Rhino. They have a very bulky, smooth body with large muscle ripples. They need this powerful muscle to help them traverse around massive ice fields. They are usually shades of blue with some black, but some have been spotted with a color scheme of shades of red. They seem to have no eyes, that is because they are very small and quite hidden. Thus, the Grossbark finds its way around using infrared heat signature detection. The four "horn" like things on the side of their heads are used to pick up these signatures (called teleflers.) Typically Male Grossbarks have larger teleflers, and are used for fighting. The two larger teleflers (front of forehead) have hidden "dewlaps" that flare out when annoyed, showing dominance, or preforming a mating display. Males have colorful flaps. The teleflers come in handy when feeding nearby Fire Geysers. The main food source for Grossbarks is a moss growing on the lip of the geysers. If the geyser is about to erupt while Grossbarks are feeding, the teleflers pick up the incoming heat and the Grossbarks stampede away and avoid a painful death. They are hunted by Gasfoots and Inepta, however many explorers find their meat to have a "pungent musky flavor" and don't eat them. But the Inepta love the flavor. Grossbarks are quite docile, but have been known to attack and seriously injure Inepta and travelers when annoyed, but they stay clear of Gasfoots as they are their main predator.
