The Salted Okpe (Petragigantus bestiasus) is a monster of notoungulate.
Coming soon.
The Salted Okpe is a boar-like notoungulate with whitish rock-like keratin hair and claws that look like diorite and rock salt. It is one of the last notoungulates in South America and the world. The Salted Okpe has stone ears, pale grayish hooves, and pale pink skin, similar to that of Caucasians. These notoungulate species exhibit sexual dimorphism in terms of eye color; the female had hazel-brown eyes, whereas the male had gray ones. Sweat glands were utilized to produce this mammal's salt armor, but only in certain groups, and some did not wear salt armor, hence the name.
The Salted 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. The Salted Okpe is semi-aquatic, or at least water-loving, like hippos and moose, despite having rock-based skin. Their dense bones suggest that they were adept at wading and submerging in shallow wetlands, and while they are not deep swimmers, they are at ease near marshes, rivers, and seas.
The Salted Okpe can be used to execute body slams, front flips, and explosions that produce salt dust. In contrast to the regular Okpé, the Salted Okpé has a hint of salt in it. It permits cold air to enter its body through a tiny patch of fat and weak muscle at the very tip of its wings. Like ducks, it employs countercurrent heat exchange to stay warm in these kinds of conditions, losing relatively little heat and allowing the salt to melt.
Not only does the hippo-like ungulate breathe salt modification out of its mouth, but it also secretes that water from the gaps between its stone-like scales. The salt modification that it secretes is used for creating any salty armor that further protects its body from an enemy's attacks.
The Salted Okpe is a herbivorous animal that does some geophagy as well. It mostly consumes grasses, leaves, shrubs, mosses, rocks, pebbles, minerals (salt), and water plants. On the surface, this ungulate lives among toxodontids and xenatherians in both dry land and marsh environments. However, this species mostly in salt pans, which altered the local ecology. One of the greatest herbivores in South America, the Salted Okpe plays a key part in the construction of grasslands, wetlands, swamps, salt pans, and mountains. Prior to more recent times, it has also served as prey for enormous predators such as saber-toothed cats, dire wolves, anacondas, humans, elephant seals, and giant crocodilians.
Likely viviparous (live birth), like all mammals
Salted Okpe will gave birth to one large calf at a time
Long gestation, similar to rhinos (12–16 months)
Slow reproductive rate common for large herbivores
Living in tiny groups, the Salted Okpe is a semi-solitary, slow-moving mammal that spends a lot of time resting or foraging close to water. Because they lacked water-based sweat glands, they may have employed mud or water for cooling and defense. Similar to huge herbivores, they may have become defensive or furious when attacked. The Salted Okpe has a high sense of smell, but its weak vision, hearing, and touch make it quite hostile.
Salted Okpe's original home was in Bolivia and Argentina. Then we live in salt pans in South America.

Once, the Okpe snatched an older youngster who was smart enough to grasp onto a limb overhead and escape from his kidnapper. While the Okpe searched for its prey and begged it to return, the child fled back to his hamlet. The skin of a dead mare was laid out on the ground, as the Tehuelche do in times of need. As the Okpe trudged through after the child, it tripped on the stretched hide and fell with such force that its granite armor trembled! The Okpe started sobbing in defeat that his tears created a river as big as its teeth. It never again disturbed the Tehuelche tribe.
The Salted Okpe is one of the animals that was altered and used as a beast of burden by the First Civilization or the Isu in the Pleistocene. Despite being born naturally, the Isu have proclaimed all remaining purebred animal species to be genetically modified. Members of the Assassin Order, Templar Knights, and Monster Hunter members researched the origins of all animals and discovered that, because they are pure natural breeds, from animals and monsters are actually genetically engineered creatures.
" Few realized what had really changed when the Sundrop Flower and the Moonstone Opal synchronized; the Earth itself had awakened for freedom, order, and balance, not tyranny. Protect life. Preserve them, preserve the world! "
– 50 Solar and Lunar Pentecost immortals
Following the victory at the presidential compound, President Nelson Mandela personally escorts Queen Arianna de Solle to the Roman Catholic Cathedral of the Sacred Heart in Pretoria Central. Recognizing the deep spiritual foundation of Arianna’s Catholic faith—which complements Mandela’s own Methodist principles—Mandela provides a secure sanctuary for her solemn prayer. Inside the quiet, stained-glass nave of the cathedral, Arianna kneels at the altar. Her prayer transcends ordinary devotion, becoming a deeply spiritual communion that reinforces her commitment to global reconciliation, moral justice, and human cooperation.
Coinciding with Taiwan's traditional holiday, the Earth God's Birthday (Tudi Gong), Arianna’s prayer triggers a universal bio-resonance network. Through the combined supreme power of the Sundrop Flower and Moonstone Opal, Arianna establishes a mind-link with legendary immortals across time and space: from her sister, her husband, her closest friends, and even an Isu named Tellervo and an Eternal named Druig, carefully stabilizes the immense psychic network, ensuring the connection does not overwhelm the minds of living beings.
The Immortals send a single message across the world: "Protect life." The response comes not in words, but in countless living voices. Across the globe, an extraordinary phenomenon unfolds. Every mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, lancelets, jellyfish, sea anemones, hydrozoans, nematodes, annelids, echinoderms, hemichordates, gastropods, bivalves, cephalopods, arthropods, constructs, undead creatures, and naturalized extraterrestrials on the Earth were fully prepare under Queen Arianna's orders.
Animals begin behaving with remarkable coordination. They avoid harming ordinary people and instead gather around forests, rivers, cities, mountains, ruins, caves, oceans, and protected lands threatened by Abstergo's operations. Hidden laboratories are discovered after birds, mammals, and other wildlife draw nearby communities toward suspicious activity. None of the reports can fully explain the phenomenon. As Nelson Mandela’s team observes from secure command centers, Abstergo Sigma operatives and corporate mercenaries are systematically hunted down by coordinated wildlife, feral animals, or pets.
This species was found in every episode of Earth Responsibly Universe with the Frozen series, The Owl House, Assassin's Creed, Monster Hunter, The Avengers, Agents of Shield, Fantastic Four, Spiderman, Venom, Street Fighter, Z Nation, The Walking Dead, every movie in 20th Century Studios, Mobile Legends, and Star Wars as part of Rapunzel's Tangled Adventure and Tangled Movie.
