Bunyip

Bunyips are omniverous quadrapeds found in the Astral Realm they are from the genus Botananthros Bunyips and are excessively rare outside the Astral. Bunyips develop according to their geneology and hense bunyip castes as it were cannot interbreed.

Bunyip Ecology
Bunyips live in colonies with a ratio of about 120 oxen bunyips to every 40 drones and 40 drones to every 5 alphas, often with five alphas to one sprouter. Oxen will eat and excrete caecal feces which are then consumed by drones which use them as a basic sustinance to fuel hunting, the feces of these animals are collected and horded by other drones and oxen where they ferment and are eaten by Alphas before they patrol the colonies borders facing off and detering other alphas and drones of rival colonies. The sprouters are large bunyips capable of seeding small bunyip egg packages which grow to be oxen, drones or alphas according to their genes. Bunyips have few Natural predators.

Bunyip Domestication and Diet
Though Bunyips have never been completely domesticated some Umnali have made small Bunyip farms, using their incredibly nutritious feces as fertilizer for export purposes. These operations are made easy due to large numbers of Xaviers which can be fed to drones as well as easy access to seaweed for the oxen.
