Pamuli - Tumblr Posts
Hey there.
Here's a Pamuli. A large herbivore tenesac (sack holder) that lives in small herds of females with one male.
These animals are best known for their young tearing out of their backs like /aliens/. Which is something the people thought was happening before domesticating them. In truth, pregnant pamuli push their small egg sack through their face opening and have them grow on their back covered with protective membrane connected to their back arms.
Males on the other hand lack most of this membrane and instead keep their juvenile claws to battle for mating privilege. Most males are heavily scarred and their cuts are not nice so the captive pamuli get their claws trimmed.
They have also been domesticated twice. This picture shows the subspecies domesticated by the northern people.
These animals are sorta a transition between modern false-mammal (Slomen, etc.) and their ancestors because of the lack of any baby-feeding organ. Instead of nurturing their young with "milk" pamuli have their babies grow in their meggs until they are ready to feed independently.

For a bit of context, this is a domesticated pamuli. Its big arm membranes are much looser than in wild pamuli, and its colors are less recognizable.
Pamuli make good transport animals but are not as good for riding. Even after being domesticated for centuries, they are stubborn and easily stressed. The leash here helps to calm them down since it makes the animal feel connected to the baggage on its back. Without it, it might panic even after it's used to the action and has seen that the baggage isn't its babies.
But with less tame pamuli it's definitely better to use a different leash while this is only inserted (it's not great for maneuvering).
The inner side of its arm membrane is also covered in mud to protect it from the sun.
