Cantapodi/Legacy

== Description ==
=== Behavior ===
* Similar to snakes, will bury their eggs to keep them safe from predators and to shield them from the scorching sun. When they hatch, they band together and form a temporary pack as a defense before eventually branching off as they mature.
* While the are blind, they can map out their surroundings using a “sixth sense” not unlike that of a modern platypus. Their sense of smell and adept hearing also helps make up for the lack of sight.
== Appearance ==
The displays a colorful skin pattern, with the default colors being tan, purple, black, and green. The has two toes on each foot, resembling a chameleon, and is intricately decorated with numerous spikes and flower buds. It has the natural stance of a kangaroo and other creatures with long tails, using it when walking and leaning on it when idle. It also has a long, spiky tail with a flower at the tip. It appears shorter than it is due to the spiral curvature of its spine-covered tail.
=== Males ===
Males have two horns on the frontal region of their head and lack the flowers that females have.
=== Females ===
Females lack horns but have flower buds along their bodies.
== Abilities ==
== Gameplay ==
=== Pros ===
The are very agile photocarnivores, meaning doesn't have to drink water. This means the player has to only focus on finding food and growing and not worry about diets stopping it from picking up or grabbing another creature. Thanks to Iron Stomach, needs to worry considerably less about eating rotten products (ignoring Sickness from any source), albeit still being careful of the water and HP depletion spoiled food deals. Its own health regeneration and stamina regeneration are great, meaning it won't take long for to recover from fights or chases or just running or ambushing, which gives a tactical advantage over non-ambushers.
It can deal quite a lot of damage to smaller or similar tiers and still weaken larger creatures. With its decent offensive bleed and thorns, it can stop creatures from trying to flee for too long and stop their health (and stamina at higher levels of bleed) from regenerating; while resisting some bleed itself with its Bleed Defense.
Thanks to the Strength in Numbers ability, the more adult in the pack, the more resilient and stronger the will be, amplifying HP, weight, damage, and status effects and thus making attacks more crippling.
=== Cons ===
The is very frail in both weight and total HP, meaning anything larger than it can cause some serious damage and, in some cases, kill it in one hit.
Its speed can be hindered by creatures who can break bones or Tear Ligaments, forcing it to take most hits that come its way.
Its appetite is the worst in the game, which is especially apparent at night when photocarnivores have an increased appetite drain. This makes it harder to wear down its opponents (which is the only option against larger creatures) because it may start starving mid-fight.
It has horrible nightvision, which does allow it to resist Night Stalkers, but it also makes unable to detect them via their AoE.
Additionally, due to its green blood and purple carcass' bones, some people may just target this creature to see it bleed and drop a weird-colored carcass.

== Trivia ==
* Designed by @kazooduder on the Creatures of Sonaria Discord.
** was based on chameleons and cacti design-wise, while also based on a kangaroo movement-wise, similar to Diesura as it hops and leans back on its tail in idle or while sitting.
** In the concept’s description, the had a secondary attack where it launched thorns from its tail to deal bleed damage to any creatures within the attack's radius. This is something that has not been coded yet.
* Modeled, rigged, and animated by Erythia.
* The has green blood.
** Due to this, when killed, the drops a green carcass.
** This is an actual color in some Earth creatures: both from those that use chlorocruorin, a green oxygen carrier that replaces hemoglobin in some invertebrates' blood and in some vertebrates (like some green-blooded lizards) that have adapted to carry lethal amounts of biliverdin in their blood, which is a toxic byproduct of heme catabolism whose only good side is that it has antimutagenic properties. It is possibly green just because of the inspiration of this creature, meaning the blood could be a sap, which is more fitting for the .
