From the Camel
Real-world basis: This ability mimics a camel's charging behavior combined with the sand-kicking technique, leveraging its powerful limbs.
Protective Wrap
Wraps its body in a protective layer to reduce damage from incoming attacks.
From the Caterpillar
Real-world basis: Utilizes its flexible body to create a tight, defensive coil, similar to the defensive behaviors seen in caterpillars.
