Suggestion

Epigaulus is a genus of extinct herbivorous rodents in the Myragauridae family that lived from the Oligocene to the Pleistocene.
The correct genus name is Ceratogaulus, and Epigaulus is a synonym.
Just like the Honed Gopher, it had two large horns growing from its nose.
Epigaurus is the smallest known horned mammal, the only horned rodent, and the only horned borer (other than the fossil armadillo Peltephilus). It is also a mammal (which burrows underground).
They were native to what is today known as the Great Plains of North America.
Speculation about the role of the horns abounds, including burrowing (disproved by the location and orientation of the horns), sexual display, and fighting/predator protection. Since the horns were not sexually dimorphic, their defensive role is likely.

In-game, they are friendly nocturnal creatures that like Purlovia are good at digging, burrowing into the ground during the day in the same manner as Purlovia, and emerging at night to feed. I wander in search.
They are timid and will immediately burrow into the ground to hide when they see the player or a creature larger than themselves.
Therefore, unless something happens, basically no one can kill them.
By the way, unlike Purlovia, it looks like an image, so I think you can understand it at a glance.

How to tame
Ghillie equipment is essential as it is timid and will run away if you just look at it.
Then, with Ghillie equipped, find the depression in the ground where Epigaulus is hiding and place some honey near it.
After that, hide in a place a little far away and wait for it to come out.
Then, it poked its head out of the ground, smelled it, noticed the presence of honey, ate the honey, and then crawled back into the ground.
At this time, the taming gauge will rise.
After that, check to see if there are any enemies nearby, then place some honey so they don't find out, feed it, and increase the taming gauge.
And when it reaches 100%, the taming is completed.
However, if you are discovered midway through, you will run away immediately and your taming gauge will be reset, so you must do your best not to be discovered.
After taming
It is impossible to ride, and it is too big to carry on your shoulders.
However, it is good at digging in the ground, and you can make it burrow under the ground and collect some materials.
And it will store those collected materials in the ground.
You can also burrow underground and use it as a spy for reconnaissance.
For example, you can find out what kind of creatures are out there without being found out, and what kind of things are in the enemy's base.
If you have any other good ideas, please let us know in the comments.
