Spadehorns were intended to have an unusual genetic adaptation - horns which are flat and tough rather than brittle and pointy like those of their Earthbound cousins. The shovel-like horns were intended to dig through the rocky or frozen soil in Reach's boreal regions, though some variations were used instead to carve moss or lichen from sheer rock, or strip the bark from Reach's indigenous trees. {{Ref/Site|URL=https://www.instagram.com/p/B3VXyrUDQF-/|Site=Instagram|Page=Halo Reach - Spadehorn exploration (2008)|Quote=Animals in the Bovid family on Reach have an unusual genetic adaptation - their horns become flat and rough rather than point and brittle, like those of their Earthbound cousins.
