Bovis Tempus, or Remembulls is an unparalleled marvel of evolution in response to the challenges posed by formidable predators in secluded environments. This species has evolved a unique ability to manipulate temporal perception, a feat governed by the Memorin Gland situated within its brain. The Memorin Gland is a neuroendocrine organ in the Remembull's brain, characterized by specialized cells and receptors. This gland is responsible for secreting a complex blend of temporal modulators, neurotransmitters, and hormones that collectively induce a state of temporal invisibility in the present. Preliminary studies suggest that the Memorin Gland interacts with the visual and cognitive centres of the brain, temporarily suppressing the perception of the Remembull in real-time.
The temporal camouflage mechanism does not disrupt the Remembull's physical presence, allowing it to interact with the environment normally. However, the perceptual cloak extends only to visual observation in the present moment, making the Remembull detectable through other sensory means.
The life cycle of Remembulls is tied closely to the changing seasons. During mating season, the Memorin Gland becomes more active, allowing them to communicate and coordinate with each other effectively. Calves are born in the spring and are visible in the present until their first birthday, and as they grow, they learn to master their temporal abilities under the guidance of the elder members of the herd.
One of the intriguing facets of creatures' observation lies in the ability of creatures to perceive them through past experiences. Observers who have encountered them can vividly recall their presence by as if they remember having seen them. The Memory Gland's temporal influence seems to extend selectively to real-time perception, allowing individuals to visualize and reconstruct the past form of the Remembull through the recollection of their own experiences.
Individuals with the ability to glimpse into the short-term future can also perceive Remembulls. This extraordinary skill, though rare among humans, allows observers to visualize events that are about to unfold. In the case of Remembulls, their future visibility is predicted, allowing those with short-term future sight to anticipate the creature's presence.
Remembulls are known for their tranquil and docile nature. They spend most of their time grazing in large open fields, undetectable by large predators and undisturbed by the outside world. Their herds exhibit a remarkable synchronicity, moving as one entity, guided by an intricate understanding of their surroundings. The cows have a hierarchical social structure, with leaders possessing a more developed Memorin Gland and, consequently, a deeper understanding of the temporal shifts and potentially an ability to forsee likely events before they happen.
Photography serves as a remarkable tool for bypassing the temporal camouflage of Remembulls. When captured through the lens of a camera, Remembulls become visible in the resulting photographs. The temporal properties of the Memorin Gland do not extend to the static images, enabling the documentation and study of the Remembull's appearance. Scientific analyses of these photographs provide insights into the creature's physical characteristics and behaviour, offering a tangible glimpse into the otherwise imperceptible present state.
