Babonwal
A hybrid of Baboon + Narwhal

Its limbs are strong and agile, designed for agility on land, while its tail is flattened and fin-like, aiding in swimming. The Babonwal has large, expressive eyes that reflect its intelligent nature and a keen sense of social interaction, reminiscent of its baboon ancestry.
