Moropus. Or rather, a picure of what scientists thought they looked

They are from Pamalt in the Artmali Period.
They have been very secretive. I am not sure of the details of their
origin, just of their travels northward. They were extinct in
Pamaltela early, and it is likely that the only ones who escaped were
those that went northward, where they were later exterminated.
