Purple Phlock

The purple phlock replaced its ancestor the timid phlock. It has grown bigger and more terrestrial. Their purple coloration not only help it blend in with purple flora in the area but also can confuse predators with their stripes. Each has their own unique patterns of stripes and spots. They are every social and travel in large herds grazing on the fast growing purple flora. They stay warm not only by huddling together but by letting the weavesnapper build their downy nests on their bodies. This in turn keeps them warm.

They do not have many defense other than raising up their wing-leaves to try to scare away predators so they reproduce frequently and with many offspring. Their beaks help them graze quickly as they walk. They can get skittish when a predator is around and will hoot at them with their butt-nostrils. If frightened too much they will bolt away in a huge stampede.
