Dolpholope (SciiFii)

The dolpholope (Gracilitripodus lineatus), also known as the antelope terraphin, is a species of fully terrestrial cetacean that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the subtropical and temperate forests of the Azores archipelago to help boost biodiversity. It was difficult to create due to its "third leg", which is actually its modified tail, however, SciiFii has successfully created this animal without any side effects (illnesses, etc). It is a herbivore that primarily feeds on fruits, leaves, pine needles, shrubs, grasses, roots, and shoots, filling the similar ecological niche to pronghorns and antelopes from elsewhere. The dolpholope has a sail, which is a modified form of a dorsal fin, which helps in species recognition to keep others of its species from getting lost in the forested environment. It is nocturnal due to predation from megasquids, using its wiskers, rather than its melon, which is degenerated due to being a land animal, in order to find its way around in the dark. The dolpholope is a social animal that usually lives in herds consisting of up to about 25 individuals at a time. The conservation status of the dolpholope is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the dolpholope's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
