Platypus

Platypus was a species strange animal that lived on a small island off the coast of Orlil, Lantan, alongside a village of intelligent and speaking wombats.

"I had left off pining for home and rather looked forward to seeing a city larger than fifty wombats and the occasional odd platypus - though, to be perfectly blunt, I've never met a platypus who wasn't rather odd."

Description
Platypus was a natural beast that seemingly was cobbled together out of leftover parts of other animals. They had beaver-like tails and bodies, duck-like bills, webbed feet for swimming, and venomous pricks.

Ecology
Platypuses laid eggs and lived in the vicinity of water, riverbanks, and lakes. The sentient group of wombats and platypuses could be found inhabiting a small island off the coast of Orlil.
