Bahluing

The Bahluing is a saurian-like species found within the SPORE Universe.

Appearance
Bahluings are medium-sized, quadrupedal creatures that resemble a turtle or prehistoric ankylosaur. Its feet end in clawed toes, two on the front and three on the back, with a toothed beak much like the ankylosaurs it resembles. It has a furred underbelly with a scaly overcoat.

They are notable to have grown crystals on their backs, which gives these creatures an extra line of defense. It is possible that they grow the crystals from eating the minerals they consume in ruins temples.

Behavior
Bahuling are docile creatures, and they don't usually resort to attacking other animals unless they are provoked into doing so.
