Genus: Equigallus
The Buey Plumado (Equigallus Catoblepas), also called Alambung by the natives, is another species of two-fingered birds (Didaktylorthines) that inhabits the Mid-Pacific continent of Magellania. These deviant birds are flightless, but retain two articulated fingers. This species in particular is semi-quadruped with one finger becoming something showel-like hooves. The other finger remains claw-like and can be used for defense. Together both fingers are used to dig up roots and tubers.
Apart from that the Buey also consume small shrubs and graze other low vegetation. They thrive all over eastern Magellania and inhabit a wide range of ecosystems, from grasslands, shrublands, river valleys and marshes. Like bovines live in small herds that roam around the landscape.
