Species-002: Nomths

The nomths are one one of the most common primary consumers on the planet. They can be compared to cows or horses on Old Earth, as they travel in herds and are of large mass. They subsist primarily on treeth structures, catabolizing the large molecules within, and releasing calcium waste products into the atmosphere, which can be used again by treeths. They usually wander around the planet, following low calcium concentrations that are characteristic of post-bloom treeths. Nomths are necessary to flatten these old forests back to plains so the treeths can re-grow, as some of the taller structures can persist after the floods.

Strucutre and Behavior
Nomths are very round, with small but strong legs. Their most prominent feature is the mouth, with sharp teeth arranged in a circle for grinding up the treeth structures. They are mostly docile, and will run if threatened.
