Description
This odd-looking grazing creature has a body shaped like an upside-down turnip, with four spindly legs attached to the upper body. A snout at the base of the body is ringed by small eyes, and has a toothless, fleshy mouth.
Evolved on a low gravity world, this bug-eating beast is unusually tall and has four long, gangly limbs. The round, symmetrical central body of the vevul is widest at the top, then tapers downward to the cone-shaped head at the base.
There are eight glassy, unblinking eyes arranged about the head, giving it all-around vision. Several flexible tendrils project out from the tip of the snout, and are used to grasp small plants and morsels off the ground that are fed into the flexible, tubular mouth. Four long, thrice-cloven legs with hooves project downward from shoulders located around the top of the body. These provide mobility and are used to hold the head at the required height above the ground.
Combat
When a vevul becomes aware of a threat, it emits a deep thumping sound, alerting other nearby vevul. In spite of its odd shape the vevul can move quite rapidly and is highly agile. Generally it is not considered particularly dangerous, although it has a nasty kick that it uses to drive off predators.
All-Around Vision (Ex): The many eyes of the vevul give them a +2 racial bonus on Spot checks, and it can not be flanked.
