Ok, here's a detailed desert Gamuto subspecies. I will probably do others later.

Thorny Gamuto: A Gamuto that lives in the desert that eats a ton of cacti to sustain itself. Because of this, it can regurgitate thorns and blow them at you with its trunk. It can also spray cactus water, and since most varieties of cacti have toxic water, this water would inflict poison. Its legs would have smashed cacti on them. They would have been very thick cacti taht are smashed into something like shoes. They would be thorny, inflicting more impact damage. It would be yellow, with green stripes on its back. Its fur would be much thinner, about the thickness of camel fur. The only place where it would exceed this is on its back, where the fur is thicker to protect its skin from the very hot rays. It would also have a gigantic cactus flower on its head crest. Generally, it would be a bit quicker due to the lack of all the heavy fur slowing it down.
