Onerosaurus.
The onerosaurus is a large quadruped reptile, whose weight ranges between 700 and 800 kilos in an adult, about 1.70 m at the withers and about 2.80 meters long.
It is a beast typical of the hottest areas of the planet, widespread with regional variations throughout the tropical zone. It is an animal that lives in herds of several hundred individuals, but that has quickly adapted to captivity, due to a mild temperament and the tendency to follow anything that is identified as a leader, and often this imprinting remains a lifetime if made from whelps.
Because his main defense against predators is simply a thick skin he is not particularly aggressive, even if his poor intelligence makes it difficult to teach him many commands.
In most of the specimens the skin is a green-gray color on the back, while it darkens down towards the belly. Both males and females have a thick plumage on the head, which in males is a shining blue, while in females it is a very dark blue, almost black.
Depending on the region, however, some herds have skin covered with black stripes, or feathers may have slightly different designs.
Although vehicles are much faster than this animal it is still being used as a beast of burden due to both the high load capacity (in fact manages to carry their weight in baggage, if properly distributed) and because of the extremly low costs: in fact it feeds on any kind of vegetation, even toxic for other species, without problems; and it seems to be immune to almost all the indigenous diseases and the ones brought by the settlers.
The meekness of these beasts disappears in the mating season, where the males compete with each other for the attention of the females, and become very aggressive, attacking each other to try to tear their feathers from their heads using their mouths, which often causes serious injury to these animals, and sometimes the loss of an eye.
Basic Information
Anatomy
The onerisaurus has four legs, a strong structure built for resistance and a large muscular mass.
Genetics and Reproduction
The females of this species go in heat once a year and, after mating, they lay an egg. The entire pack cares for the eggs of the females, defending them from other creatures. After 3 weeks the whelps come out of the eggs, and after a couple of hours are alredy ready to follow the pack.
Additional Information
Perception and Sensory Capabilities
Both their hearing and sight are poor, but they compensate with an acute sense of smell, thanks to receptors on all their bodies, and a sensibility to eletric fields, that let them "see" other living beings even in darkness.

Conservation Status
Since it has been domesticated it does not risks extinction in the foreseable future.
