    • Intent: This species is to be used for food and for hunting.
    • Image Credit: Here
    • Canon: N/A
    • Permissions: N/A
    • Links: Bison
  • GENERAL INFORMATION
    • Name: Bovians
    • Designation: Non-Sentient
    • Origins: Created by Cameron using Sith Alchemy.
    • Average Lifespan: 30 Years (Until killed for meat / tusks / similar)
    • Estimated Population: Inter-Planetary
    • Description: Bovians are a sith spawn that was made to serve as a source of food, primarily. Due to this, they were not made for combat even if their tusks were made to be able to resist lightsaber blades. The Bovians have semi-thick hides that can resist pistol fire, but would be easily done in with heavier weaponry. Their milk is one of the most delicious forms of milk known across the galaxy. Their milk and meat contains a lot of vitamins, such as all the B Vitamins, and the D Vitamins.
  • PHYSICAL INFORMATION
    • Breathes: Type I
    • Average Height of Adults: Up to 4 Meters
    • Average Length of Adults: 2.5 Meters
    • Skin color: White / Brown / Black / Spotted
    • Hair color: N/A
    • Distinctions:

      The males are generally bulkier than the females, with larger muscles, and tusks. The females lack tusks, but produce milk. Ones in the desert have tan skin. Ones that in mountains have white or gray colored skin. Their bodies adapt to environments in terms of developing protections from such. When they are older, they become skinnier and lose their protection against parasites, and plant based poisons.

    • Races: N/A
    • Force Sensitivity: Non-Sensitive
  • Strengths:
    • Delicious: The meat of the males amd milk produced by the females is delicious.
    • Leather Alternative: Their skin can be made into an alternative to leather that's very durable.
    • Tusks: The tusks of the males are resistant to lightsabers.
    • Hypo Allergenic: Their bodies produce no allergins, and will trigger no diseases / ailments.
    • Plant Based Poisons: They are highly resistant to all manner of plant based poisons
    • Parasite Resistant: Their immune systems will kill most manner of parasites
    • Hunting: In order to make them appealing to hunters to hunt, Cameron gave them resistance to pistol grade, aka small arms weaponry and also to lightsabers, so they would be 'worth' hunting.
  • Weaknesses:
    • Force Voids: Force Voids would deactivate the Lightsaber Resistance of their tusks.
    • Force Light: Force Light would render them sickly and ill.
    • Munitions: Most if not all forms of munitions, be it Slug Thrower, and Blaster would be an effective way to dispatch the creatures, save for pistols. You would need rifle level or above to dispatch them.
    • Synthetic Poisons: They have no defense against synthetic poisons.
  • CULTURE
    • Diet: Herbivore
    • Communication: They speak via moos.
    • Technology level: N/A
    • Religion/Beliefs: N/A
    • General behavior:

      These creatures are a nocturnal one. They tend to graze on grass, wood, and mushrooms / flora. They're also traveling in large groups. As to how they mate, it's for life. These are mostly peaceful unless someone attacks their young. If someone is foolish enough to do so, they will be attacked by a stampede of the Bovians, and gored relentlessly by both the males, and females, and then trampled. The Bovians are generally friendly to all manner of Force Sensitives.
  • HISTORICAL INFORMATION

    Sithspawn that were made as an experiment by Cameron, in an attempt to create one that would have meat that tasted better than Bantha meat or Nerf Steak, but that also would be hypo allergenic. These were originally made solely as a farm animal by Cameron by the use of Bio Engineering, and Sith Alchemy processes. However, when he realized that hunters might also want a challenge, he modified them so that their hides would be able to resist pistol level weaponry, and added tusks that could resist lightsabers to the males through further genetic engineering. Currently he is looking for someone who would be interested in buying some of them, and as such, retains sole access at present to his creations, of which there are 100,000.

Under Review Cameron Tyris Cameron Tyris

There are a few things to clear up before this can be approved.

  • Canon: Please put "No" or "N/A" here to show that this is not a canon creature. Might as well do the same for Permissions.

  • Origins: Please provide a link to Cameron's character bio here.

  • I'm curious about the resistances of this creature.
    • If Cameron wanted to make a harmless Sithspawn for his first creature, and their only purpose is food, why did he give them lightsaber-resistant tusks? What benefit does that have for ordinary livestock?
    • In Description, you state that bovians have hides that are resistant to small-arms fire. However, in Weaknesses, you state that both blasters and slugthrowers kill them efficiently. Both cannot be true, so please remove one or the other. If you keep the resistance, please list it in Strengths, and explain why Cameron gave a farm animal weapon resistance.

  • In Distinctions, you say that males have larger muscles and "longer tusks" than the females. In the next sentence, you say that females don't have tusks at all. Please fix this to be consistent.

  • In Distinctions, you state that the milk of the females is better tasting than the milk of the males. It is extremely rare for male animals to produce milk, and most do not have breasts or udders. Do male bovians produce milk, unlike male bison or male cows? Is this something Cameron intended? If so, why, given that the milk is apparently lower quality?

  • History: Where did Cameron make these creatures? How many did he make? Have they spread to other places? Did he sell them to a ranch, farm, or company, or is he the only one who has access to them?

Most of the edits look good, but I'm still confused about a couple of things.


  • In History, you state that Cameron gave these creatures pistol-resistant hides and lightsaber-resistant tusks so that they would be a challenge for hunters. This is confusing for several reasons.
    • Are bovians farm animals, as you say in most of the sub, or are they animals that are hunted? There is a large difference. The beef you buy at the supermarket comes from cows that were raised on farms and then slaughtered, not cows that were hunted in the wild. If Cameron wants bovian meat to feed huge numbers of people and become a readily-available alternative to bantha meat, it doesn't make much sense to have to go and hunt bovians rather than raise them for slaughter on ranches.
    • Who is hunting bovians with lightsabers? Why would lightsaber-resistance be something that the average hunter would even have an opportunity to notice? Although many player characters carry them, lightsabers are pretty rare for the average person.
 
As to why he gave them the Lightsaber Resistant Tusks, it was for two reasons:
- The first was so that if Jedi decided they did not like them as Sithspawn, the Bovians would possess the means to defend themselves.
  • He plans to use it as both a readily availible alternative to Bantha Meat, but also something Hunters can go after in some cases.
  • The Tusks are lightsaber resistant so that they can be sold to those who do not like using Cortosis / Phrik / Beskar / similar as lightsaber resistant materials. as well.

As to the small arms fire, I'll hrt to work on that right now.
