Rutorts of the Broken Plains

Slowly plodding through the flower-fields west of the Broken Plains, rutorts are a common sight, churning up the earth and chewing the thick tubers and deep soil vegetables in the rich earth, the saps of the torn roots further enriching the earth. Often roaming among the herds of similarly sized blomuxes, they are known for their docile temperament and slow seasons of grazing that they'll make ideal homes for nesting bird life, relying on their thick chitin to defend against all but the most dangerous of predators. Though that temperament only lasts when alone, once seeing another of their kind, male or female, they will charge heedlessly at them, their horns and tusks locking and thick plated chitin slamming into each other, either leading to a successful mating or territorial lines redrawn.
