Okpe
“ We do not talk about the enigmatic beast that looks like a peccary and has the guts to eat the entire Tehuelche tribe, even the child. This beast was made of hair from all ages, stone-like. ”
– David Attenborough

Physical Appearance
The Okpe is the most recent extant member of the notoungalate group. It has a peccary-like appearance, is composed of hair rather than keratin, and resembles unbreakable volcanic rock devoid of any weak points or soft parts. Okpe has a clubbed tail resembling an ankylosaur and three toes harder than human nails. as the outcome of glyptodont and ankylosaur evolution coming together. It also has weak vision and hazel eyes.
Abilities
The Okpe is a fiercely guarded predator that is highly valued beneath the surface. Okpe slams, its own weight generating an earthquake. With the exception of weapons with long blades like hammers, its skin was extremely hard. It was also impervious to slicing weapons like swords.

Lore
Once, Okpe kidnapped an older youngster who was smart enough to hang onto a limb above and get away from its kidnapper. The youngster fled back to his village as Okpe searched for its prey and cried out for it to return. There, the skin of a mare was spread out on the ground after it was killed, as the Tehuelche do in times of need.
It slipped on the stretched hide and fell so heavily that its granite armor shook as Okpe trundled through after the youngster! In defeat, Okpe began to sob so much that his tears created a river as high as its fangs. The Tehuelche tribe was never bothered by it again.
