Vastallosi Mountain Goat

The Vastallosi Mountain Goat (Oreamnos vastallosus) is a species of goat native to the mountains of Vastallos. They are herbivorous mammals that tend to feed on lichens, ferns, grasses, and shrubs.

The name of the species comes from the continent in which they reside, Vastallos. It's currently unknown whether this species of Mountain Goat is an adapted version of members of the same genus brought to the continent by Niedene migrants, or if they are an example of divergent evolution from Pygmy Sheep (Ovis aceras minor) or another related species.

They tend to live in tribes of up to four or more, with strange differences in number dependent on which region you find them in. It's been seen that in the Galínian Mountain Range, there is significantly more Mountain Goats than in Dracade or Asturcia, and by extension, more per tribe. It's currently believed that this is due to the high population of Faun in Galínios caring greatly for the species and going out of their way to not disturb their habitat more than they already have.

An interesting feature of the Vastallosi Mountain Goats that separate them from Mountain Goats of other regions, is their more stout and hairy appearance. It's been recorded that Mountain Goats from the continent of Nieden are thinner and taller than O. vastallosus.
