Trinity:Memento Loricatus

Momento Loricatus, also known as the Sandshrew

Commonly known as the sandshrew, the species of memento known as memento loricatus is a cross between the desert mouse and the armadillo. While lacking in agility and mobility, it has been bred for strength beyond its diminutive size, as well as a hardy constitution. Its mature form, the memento falx (more commonly known as the sandslash), is well-known for its powerful claws and fierce territorial nature.
