Rinderpest

"A Heirophant never forgets. The chains of his memory are the chains that bind the world, and to shatter those chains would be to shatter the land." Rinderpest is an entirely unremarkable elephant and the third-born child of Meg Margaret. Like all elephants, Rinderpest is haploid, having been produced parthenogenetically by its mother, and floats across the savannas of Tanzania in a large herd, communicating by secreting dense clouds of pheromones that are chemically indistinguishable from asafoetida. In its larval stage, Rinderpest was approximately 2 meters in length (not including its pygidial cirri), but as an adult it averages a length of 12 meters.

Rinderpest’s herd has been tracked for the past 15 years by a team of wildlife biologists led by Budgeman Panticlope. The team is part of a larger effort to not only study the social behavior of African elephants, but also ensure that a diploid elephant is never produced, as foretold by the monks of the Mosteiro dos Cistercienses em Jequitibá in Bahía, Brazil. According to the prophecy, should a diploid elephant be conceived and born, the worlds’ oceans will transform into clam chowder and the skies will burn red for the next 10,000 years.
