  The brontos are among Rubi-Ka's most important animals, providing the citizens of the planet with a stable source of protein. Indeed, the role these elegant creatures serve on Rubi-Ka is very similar to that filled by cattle and bison on Earth, whose domestication and farming have been a critical staple in many human diets for over 32000 years. The average settler is probably very familiar with the fast-food chain Bronto Burger, whose primary menu consists of products made from bronto meat.

Generally, most settlers will only ever encounter the baby bronto, because it is only during their earliest youth that brontos can be adequately taken care of on farms. Typically, the oldest bronto one is likely to encounter on a farm is a young bronto, and only when market conditions have created a decreased demand for bronto meat. By this age, these brontos have already begun to wear out their welcome on farms, and is around the time most brontos are released into the wild, or killed for consumption. For those released, they may mature into the largest bronto on Rubi-Ka, the bronto mama. In an unusual play on sexual dimorphism, it is only the female brontos that fully mature into the largest sizes, and the males remain in a smaller state.

This is likely because of the origins of these animals. Brontos are genetic variations upon ancient DNA extracted from a frozen sauropod dinosaur discovered in 4209 with the final meltdown of Antarctica on Earth. In the variations we encounter on Rubi-Ka, the mamas have grown horns and are capable of giving birth to live young, as opposed to laying eggs in typical dinosaurian fashion.
