The sailu is a small, herbivorous, bipedal xenoc animal native to the Japanese-ethnic world of Oshanko. When fully grown, the sailu is about 30 cm long, and is covered in silky black and white fur, which gives it a panda-like appearance. Its face and body are flattish ovals, connected by a short neck. It has a flat wet nose and its eyes are completely black. Although it superficially resembles a tiny, gnome-like anthropoid, the sailu has a very different skeleton and muscular system than terrestrial animals. For example, it lacks joints such as elbows or knees; the sailu's limbs are able to bend along their entire length, much like a squid's tentacles. It moves very slowly and ponderously.
