The momen are a species of large mammalian bipeds introduce into the Ungulate Union.

Biology

Standing at least nine feet tall, these anthromorphic hippopotamus can weigh over 200 kilos. They are born with small tusks. The nasal horn will grow to half an inch in length while their tusks can grow up to four inches. It has three toes and four fingers including an opposable thumb on each.

Momen live long lives although not as long as rhimen and uxitaurs. It is also known that their hide can take ammo rounds that would damage heavy vehicles down. The tusks of a moman were documented to be sharp enough to pierce a turian without armor on and they could run at a constant 35 miles per hour. A strong immune system can allow for them to eventually heal even from strong radioactive substances.

The current lifespan of the average momen is a seven centuries although some are known to reach older ages and are deeply respected. Their diet consist mostly of aquatic plants. While they aren't the smartest race, they're able to solve challenges with enough time. They have a high reproduction rate that is controlled through chips which allows the momen to choose the amount of young.

Culture

The momen specie prefer being the unseen workers. Much remains in mystery about the group as they stay away from heavy populated areas. Mostly dwelling near lakes and rivers, they are very shy but powerful. Their culture has not change since the uplifting of their people some two hundred years ago.

Young momen would, once they reach the age of ten, leave the river that house them before gathering in groups of hundreds. They'll then travel for miles, often times welcoming new members, to find a suitable location to live. They will build a large fountain before expanding outwards into small villages.

Once they'd been uplifted, they only true difference in their culture was the inclusion of rhimen and uxitaurs. Although they are not likely to fight as even the uxitaurs, when push comes to shove, they will protect themselves.
