The eyes help the animal see when it is going places and when there is a predator near. The 2 small nostrils are to help them breathe the chemical air that we humans can't. The Hexapede has 6 legs to help it run and maneuver quickly to help it catch prey and run away from predators. The fan around their head is flashed when the animal is in danger, the fan is designed to make the Hexapede look bigger and more intimidating. The horns can pivot and pull for a large threat display, the horns can also amplify the sound of nearby predators. A Hexapede also has feathery scent organs on each side of its skull, they are designed to sample the air as an early warning system to alert the animal to the presence of a predator.
