Name: Manth

Height: 163cm at the shoulder (abt. 64in/5`4ft)
Length: 4.9m (abt 16ft)
Weight: 840kg (abt 1850lb)
Base DNA: Horse (clydesdale), Manta Ray (unspecified), Sand Tiger Shark, Crab (unspecified)

Anatomical Description: The manth most closely resembles a clydesdale horse in body shape and torso, but sports a manta ray esque head, and a long shark-like tail that makes up almost half of its length. Inside the mouth is an array of specialized feeding apparatus that resemble crab claws.

Weaknesses: Nothing noteworthy, though lessened senses of hearing, vision, and smell when compared to the original clydesdale horse.
Defenses: Speed, safety in numbers, icthoid protection. Powerful limbs capable of shattering bones.
Offenses: Nothing noteworthy.
Special Attributes: The Manth's feeding apparatuses function by extending from the creature's mouth, clamping onto vegetation, and retracting back into the mouth to deliver nourishment. The cephalic lobes (inherited from the manta ray) extend to help funnel food into the manths' path. This allows the manth to keep its head low for continuous feeding, and gives the manth a wider field of vision due to its eye placement. Researchers have described the action as vacuuming or lawn mowing.

LOGI Info: Manth have been described as the trusted steed of the icthoid, as they are almost solely utilized by the shark-like race. In truth, manth also fulfill the roles of beef cow, and general beast of burden, as the icthoid have few other domesticated animals.
They are widely considered to be more loyal than a traditional horse, but this may be a result from reduced brain size.

Other: This was mostly made with Project Genomia in mind.
I'm willing to bet some might disagree with my different template, but I felt this lumped the relevant information together and did away with redundancies, while possibly looking more professional. I'll be happy to change it if need be.
However, if that's the case I'll also need to update the icthoid/slicer templates.

Looking good so far! I'd approve it, but I want DF to see and say this template is okay before I do so.

I like how you’ve crossed out the actually sensible thing, in favor of being Smaug.

The best thing that's happened to me in a long long time. Welcome back bro, I've missed you.
