Bovus

A Bovus is a peculiar-looking species from the F-60 Galaxy.

Biology
They are limbless, medium-sized creatures, with the appearance of a black flattened worm protected by a thick rubbery exoskeleton. Their hides are so tough that they can disguise themselves and be used as functional truck tires.

When picked up, a Bovus can erect sharp spines for defense, which deliver a venom that slowly damages the victim's neurospinal system. For the first hours after being stung, the symptoms of Bovus venom manifest only as a neck pain, but if untreated, it will eventually become lethal.
