Now I will tease my first Origin Species: Volcammoth! It is an Origin Species of Gammoth that lives in Volcanic areas, Deserts and Temperate areas, and uses the Blast and Fire elements. Heres the revealed info:

1) This Fanged Beast evolved from the same ancestor as Gammoth, but evolved in it's own path, and evolved unique traits compared to the Gammoth.

2) The Volcammoth's hide is not covered in fur. Instead, it is covered in a Bone Plate like "Exoskeleton", which is really mostly just hardened hair that became as hard as the bone plates on the normal Gammoth. This "Hairbone Armor" even covers it's trunk, but is segmented to allow for flexibility.

3) Volcammoth also developed the ability to breathe fire from it's trunk similar to a Teostra's firebreath.

4) It's diet consists of plants, just like Gammoth, but It feeds on the various plants it encounters in it's travels, such as Volcanic Plants, Cactus in deserts, and Trees in temperate areas. They also eat ores sometimes.

5) In Deserts, due to it eating cactus, it comes into conflict with Diablos and Monoblos who share the diet of the same plant. But The Volcammoth's Armor is resilient enough to whistand the impacts from the Blos wyverns' horns, and the Volcammoth can use it's trunk to overpower the said wyverns.

6) Adult Volcammoths have no natural predators to worry about. But the young are always under the threat of being eaten by Brute Tigrex, Bokunrex, Wilolu, and other predatory monsters. Hence why the Females and young travel in herds while raising young.

7) Males are solitary and only gather in herds during breeding season. These Bull Volcammoths are hostile to anything that can be considered a threat during this time, so its best to avoid Volcammoths during Breeding season.

8) Volcammoths are intelligent, like real life elephants, and have long memories.

9) Unlike Gammoth, Volcammoth are not as hostile towards people, and some were even tamed by Revalian people to use as beasts of burden in the more hostile enviroments that the Volcammoths were practical to use in.

10) They even learn to understand speech of different languages, even thought hey can't speak themselves.

11) Tamed Volcammoths are allowed to wander away from their owners' homes to breed when the time comes, and most do eventually come back to their owners, sometimes bringing a calf with them.

12) The Armor of a Volcammoth is hard enough as is, but is also hardened further by volcanic ores they sometimes eat alongside their plant based diet.

13) A Starving Volcammoth is Violent, and will attack entire villages to feed on wood that make up houses. Such individuals do not care about the lives lost in their rampages, and are often called "Feral Volcammoths".

14) Volcammoth Calves are born with their armor looking like scales, like a pinecone, only soft. Too soft to protect them from predators.

Hope you look forward to this Origin Species!
