Basic Information

Anatomy

Shorps are large, deer like unieterrors, with a dark blue skin. A neon pink stripe extends from its one eye, over the head, splitting into two and crossing both sides of its body towards its stubby tail. Its one eye is positioned on top of its head.

Just like their hunter, godrills, shorps inhabit the dry, barren, cold, environments of the A-Planets.

Perception and Sensory Capabilities

Absorbing enough of the Sun's rays allows the shorp to remain invisible for a certain amount of time. This allows them to remain safe from godrills. To see one shorp is a good omen, the invisibility makes the creature incredibly hard to spot.

When in danger or threatened, these creatures will shoot a beam of light energy in all directions as a defense mechanism. This can stun and startle the "predator" while the shorps run away or turn invisible.
