Origin
It settled on sheer salt massifs, where access to mineral deposits made up for the lack of plant food.

Evolution
Line E-18: Mineral Horns
Salthorn → Crysthorn
Condition: migrations across desert plateaus rich in quartz and other minerals.
The salt deposits in the horns are replaced by harder crystalline structures. The body becomes lighter and better suited to long treks across open, scorching terrain.
