The Ma'xy.un ( Xi'an: ma2xyun (Proper); literally animal that masticates; ), or Shoone in UEE parlance, is a tall, herbivorous beast bred for its fine wool[1]
The name of the creature was the result of a contest. Among all the submited proposals, that of player Benjamin Hopp was chosen because "Benjamin Hopp’s clever combination of ma’a, which is the elemental compound for an animal, and a tai of his own making, xyun, which means chew; chewing (typically in a ‘crunching’ manner that makes noise); masticate; grind. His suggestion also showed understanding of the order in which Xi’an words need to be combined to create complete thoughts"[1]
It's wool is used, among other things, to manufacture MuyMuy's Ambrus Suit.
