Nuplazid

The Nuplazid are a bizarre, bipedal heart shaped animal that survives & thrives in grasslands & forests. They’re popular amongst sentient species as zoo animals or to watch from afar, but Nuplazid are notoriously crazy and can/will at any second go ballistic, destroying anything in range with its huge spiky clubbed arms. Regardless of this, traditional people groups will still hunt them and use parts of them for love potions or other forms of magic.

History
Nobody quite understands the evolutionary benefit to becoming a spotted, heart shaped bipedal club armed, handless, stalk-eyed creature. But we’re glad it happened, and the Nuplazid seem to do well as berserking carnivores. However, despite there being two species named Nuplazid, with the other one being arguably weirder than this one, they have no historical or evolutionary links, and were likely named the same thing due to their roughly similar appearance. With this Nuplazid being larger in size, it is often referred to as the Greater Nuplazid as opposed to the other, smaller “Lesser Nuplazid”.

Abilities/Personality
As previously stated the Nuplazid are infamous for their crazed behavior. They often freak out at the slightest of annoyances and can be sent into a mace swinging frenzy in an instant! Their Mace hands (or hand replacements) can be swung very powerfully and can do a lot of damage to any creature unfortunate enough to be on the receiving end. Other than this & their large mouth, they lack any notable abilities.
