Mulefa Concept

This is a mulefa from the final book of Philip Pullman’s His Dark Materials trilogy. In the books; the mulefa are strange four-legged creatures that are as intelligent as people. They are strange in that they have evolved in such a way that they have no spines and their legs are positioned in a "diamond" shape - one in the front, two in the side, one in the back. They use the side limbs to push themselves along because the forelimbs hold seed-pods that they use as wheels.
