The name of this domesticated animal comes from the spiral markings covering most of its tough smooth skin. The creature stands one meter tall on four hooved limbs. It gives birth once every four months in litters of two to five young called spirlings. The pair of tiny eyes and round ears set on the top of the large head are very sensitive. The beak-like feeding orifice has two rows of sharp teeth for grinding up the insects and greenery which the Spiralines thrive upon. The adult Spiraline has very powerful vocal chords and frequently mimic intelligent speech or sounds in a loud bass voice to frighten it's natural enemies. The retention span of the adult is very short, however, and cease repeating any sounds after a few minutes.
