Etymology
The species name is derived from Latin ebur (meaning ivory, elephant tusk) because of its coloration.[1]
gollark: How are you doing auto-ore then!?
gollark: Breaking News: RotaryCraft has x13 ore doubling, ~~giant death rays~~ fusion reactors (technically ReC, whatever), gravel guns, that boring machine, etc...
gollark: It has useful RoC stuff, like the world rifts.
gollark: Well, that might make it lighter, though I really want to play something with it some time.
gollark: Since it's old, I can get really cheap DDR3, but I have no idea how to get the case open.
