Gauchopod

Lore
There are many legends surrounding the desert area around Michu. One of the most popular is that of the gauchopods, often denoted as the "wandering stones". As the stories go, these creatures go where the water is, roaming around the desert like tumbleweeds until finding an oasis to settle on. Due to the limited amount of water available in the desert, these creatures will fiercely defend the territory they decide to settle on. If a rival gauchopod trespasses onto another's territory, it is not uncommon to see a "duel" between the two of them take place, each individual firing one of their poison covered stingers at the other. The first to get hit must leave the area or is forced out by the other gauchopod residing there. It's speculated that the stories of these events is the inspiration for the cowboy movie genre.
