Yama'tu/Legacy

== Description ==
== Appearance == 
The is a large, green, six-limbed, bipedal creature. It is covered in spikes and adorned with leafy frills. Its head is oddly shaped, with two pairs of eyes on the lower jaw and an overbite. The arms and legs of this creature are lined with fur and spikes and tipped with sharp claws, though the rest of the creature is covered in skin or scales. It is derived from sharp vines and plants that make up its body.
 has no gender dimorphism.
== Abilities ==
== Gameplay ==
=== Pros ===
The is a photocarnivore, meaning they don't have to worry about dehydration and looking for water, which can make surviving a bit easier in areas where fresh water is scarce. 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. Being capable of eating on the run allows this creature to refill its belly without needing to risk getting stuck mid-eating animation, completely nullifying a potential weakness.
Its moderate Defensive Paralyze ability also proves to be useful, momentarily stunning attackers if afflicted, giving the more of an opportunity to defend itself against other creatures and let its good HP regeneration fix any damage, or even deal particularly damaging blows thanks to its high damage and moderate weight.
Its night vision is good enough to detect creatures with night stalker without the large debuff creatures with better night vision suffer.
=== Cons ===
Due to being a photocarnivore, growing depletes hunger far faster than normal, meaning young s can realistically risk dying of hunger if they don't find a reliable food source immediately and forcing the younger s to constantly scavenge since they lack the stats adults have for combat, being an easy snack. Cold can be lethal for its young due to these facts.
Its turn speed is quite low, so it becomes quite vulnerable to more agile attackers which haven't been paralyzed. The lack of any ranged ability or status resistance leaves it especially vulnerable against stat users, ranged attackers and fliers, especially considering it is not the fastest creature out there and that its stamina regeneration is quite low and once tired it takes a while to recover.
Additionally, due to its yellow blood and green carcass' bones, some people may just target this creature to see it bleed and drop a weird-colored carcass.
