Appearance
The Tornir is a decently sized creature with anatomy that closely resembles that of a beetle. Its body is made up of a smooth, wood-like material, and several yellow-brown filaments protrude from its tail and horns, appearing similar to the kinds of growths that would be expected to be seen on a tree or a log. A few sticks branch off from its tail and underbelly, each of which in turn have little leaves and markings originating from them. The Tornir is bipedal, and it controls itself with its two stump-like legs. The Tornir's body is also decorated with various markings, which match the shades present on the various growths around its form.
**Males**: Males have small, spikey bumps on the tips of their horns.

Abilities
Behavior
- Female Tornir use their small claws on their torso to carry large clutches of eggs and moss for nests. Spores from their body will infect the eggs early on, but signs of infection will only start once the creature is much older.
- Males use their small claws on their torso for carrying large prey and materials for dens.
Lore (non-canon)
- For centuries, Tornir have been in an evolutionary arms race against themselves, trying to evolve to get rid of the fungus while also evolving to make sure it doesn't get overwhelmed by the fungi's evolution as well.
- They frequently grow and release spores from their fluff by shaking around and causing a large spore cloud. These spores, coming from Tornir's parasitic fungus, then coat the surrounding environment and any unlucky creature in the area, causing many health issues, and for weaker animals, death.
- If a Tornir breaks one of its horns or loses any limbs, a weaker, wooden version will grow back in its place.
- Tornir is related to Akorbik in some way.
Trivia
- Concept by CatasticalCalamity. Inspired by atlas beetles, other tri-horned beetle species, some types of "zombie fungus" that take over bugs, and trees, similar to the real life fungus, Cordyceps. Tornir's old design is in the middle of the timeline between its herbivorous (fungus-free) concept, and its current version.
