Artwork
Following its evolution from Alpenex, Alpentan begins shedding its coat, creating fur tumbleweeds that define the mountain landscape. In its evolved state, Alpentan becomes more aggressive, with genders separating into opposing packs. Their once brittle claws are now fortified, allowing them to climb vertically on sheer cliff-faces. This newfound climbing ability lets them find untouched mineral sources, which fortify their perpetually growing horns.
