The sovel kapo, or “shovel head”, of Oshan is considered something of a curiosity. Its primary habitat is underground in caves and tunnel systems, subsisting primarily on a diet of molds, fungi and vermeforms. What’s odd about the creature is its extraordinary resistance to toxic elements and chemicals. Sovel kapo that found their way into mines were discovered ingesting mercury, lead and various industrial chemicals to no ill effect as they scoured the area looking for mold and tunnel worms. Some scientists advanced the theory that they had been genetically engineered to clear out hazardous waste sites but have been unable to offer conclusive proof. To date, there have been some efforts made to use sovel kapos in just such a capacity, mostly with mixed results. (Mainly because it requires the importation of foodstuffs native to Oshan).
