Appearance: An enormous dugong relative "...with a thick hide, more like unto the bark of an ancient oak than unto the skin of an animal; the manatee’s hide is black, mangy, wrinkled, rough, hard, and tough; it is void of hairs, and almost impervious to an ax or to the point of a hook."

Unique animations: graze, embrace.

AI: They will need at least 5 blocks of water. Herbivore, will feed on sea grasses, which act like ancient ferns underwater.
