Varskela/Legacy

== Description ==
=== Behavior ===
* The likes to find un-opened geodes and will let their children gnaw on it till it cracks and shows the crystals inside (just for fun).
== Appearance ==
The is a large, six-limbed hexapodal creature. It walks on its thicker forearms, and it has a smaller set of arms situated under the large arm. It has large tusks, two sets of eyes, and round ears. Icy spikes can be found covering many areas of the Varskela's body, including its head, its neck and back, the elbows of its large fore-arms, and its rump. It has a mid-sized tail with fluff and ice spikes at its tip.
=== Males ===
Males have a pair of large, curved horns on their head.
=== Females ===
Females have three floating diamond-shaped head pieces.
== Abilities ==
== Gameplay ==
=== Pros ===
The is a terrestrial omnivore with a decent appetite, meaning it can survive for a while without a food and water intake.
The has decent health and weight and deals high damage, which combined with its great amounts of bleed allows it to stack damage quickly and not be ineffective against heavier targets while being quite crippling to lighter creatures. Additionally, if an opponent tries to escape the creature, its Glacier Breath can slow opponents down while gradually increasing damage. In the opposite situation, the can use its breath to escape opponents if needed.
Its nightvision is good enough to detect creatures with night stalker without the huge debuff creatures with better nightvision suffer.
The creature also has the Winter Tag, giving it an advantage against other, non-winter creatures during the seasons of Winter and Famine.
=== Cons ===
Due to its high turn rate, the may struggle to keep up with opponents with faster turn rates. Additionally, it struggles against creatures that have bleed resistance. Moreover, due to its weight, it is  vulnerable to several creatures of comparable strength, causing it to take more damage while dealing less.

== Trivia ==
* Concept by icecreamNavocado.
** The was inspired by "Naut's prompt for a winter creature with back arms and a purple, blue quartz crystal." (Quoted by concept creator)
*** The crystal in question appears to be an unwatermarked version of a photograph by the photographer Geoff Tompkinson.
** The was originally named "Crinstaly", but this was changed.
* Modeled by JaxonBirb. 
* 's price was accidentally set to 7,000 bells and later set to 5,000 bells within slightly less than an hour of the release of Part 2 of the Winter Event of 2021-2022. The change was released in a soft patch, meaning it would only appear in newly-populated servers post-patch at the time and not in older servers.
* On the day of 's release, it had a skin coloring bug which caused the player to spawn in-game with most of the customized skin reverting back to the default color version. This bug was fixed in a soft patch on the same day.
* 's primary palette is quite similar to Jotunhel's second color palette, albeit the hex codes are not identical and don't follow the same order.
* The creature used to lack the Winter Tag on Legacy, a feature most winter-inspired creatures had that granted them immunity to the Winter and Famine's icy winds. The developers confirmed this was intentional. However, due to high player demand, it eventually received it in the update the Yohsog and Tundrik were released.
