The Everdust is a harsh mistress, the dry near endless sands of the dunes provide little in terms of protection and sustenance. Anything living outside of the Oasis are subjected to near unbearable living conditions, but the crafty creatures of the Everdust have found ways to combat this environmental disadvantage. One such creature is the Sarvillion, an armored magnus that hides under the desert sands.
Sarvillions start of its life as a quadruped, the heavy scales on its back weigh it down and its upper body has not developed enough strength to carry the load. This however works as an advantage to the sarvillion as it protects the vulnerable areas of its back. As the Sarvillion matures, it learns to move upright and its arms also develop drastically to the point where it has one of the strongest arms in all of Ethia.
Energy is hard to come by in the Everdust, most creatures scrape through by doing little or getting food from unconventional sources. The Sarvillions however, supplements their energy by harvesting the one resource that is abundant in the Everdust, sunlight. The scorching rays of the Sun are absorbed through the Sarvillion’s back plates and can be used to sustain the Sarvillion and also for fending off competition or attackers. The Sarvillion is able to survive for weeks without eating just as long as there is a healthy amount of Sun on its back.
