Sollkot

Sollkot are Herbivores.
==Appearance==
Sollkot are small sized mammalian Herbivores roughly around twice the size of a Shamos. They have feet that are grey padded like suctions, used to transverse the highlands of the locale. Their body is covered in white fur while a more protruding mane is more thicker and a pigment mixture of dark grey and silver. The head's shape is narrow along with their small tails. They have two pointed ears to pick up otherwise unhearable noises. Hidden in the mouth are small teeth and a long tongue used to reach hard to reach food. 
There also exists rare female individuals of Sollkot without manes, pinkish fur and a longer body and tail. 
==Behaviour==
Sollkot are passive monsters, never attacking unless threatened by something similar to their own size, like hunters and a lone Shamos. If one's fur is cut, they become aggressive towards the thing that did it before running away. Common behaviour for them is to stay in a group and wander around the area. They may be seen eating remains and particles from the coral trees. If a small predatory monster enters the area they immediately group close to try and scare it away. This does not work with a pack of small monsters or a large monster, who they avoid and may run away on sight. Should one Sollkot be attacked or killed, the rest will immediately flee out of area boundaries. 
==In-Game Description==
==Attacks==
*Headbutt: A basic move forwards with the head at the main force of the attack. Does only very minor damage.
*Back-kick: Launches out a kick with its back legs that does a little more damage than the headbutt. 
*Blunt Push: The Sollkot jumps and strikes with its pads directly. This attack is enough to make hunters slide across the floor, but still does small damage. 
==Carves==
===Low Rank===
Icon	Item Name 	Description
 	Sollkot Hide 	Sollkot hide is as white as the fur, but told by its rough surface. Compared to the fur, only a few wish to get this.
 	Sollkot Foot 	A Sollkot's foot is made for high altitude movement, yet it's underside has padding very alike to a creature from the sea.
 	Sollkot Fur 	A bunch of carved off Sollkot fur. The fibres within tell what the monster eats and what nutrients are found in the Coral Highlands.
 	Sollkot Pinkfur	A piece of Sollkot fur that has turned pink from high levels of fibres from coral trees. Only female Sollkots have been found to have this kind of fur.
===High Rank===
Icon	Item Name 	Description
 	Sollkot Hide+ 	Sollkot hide completely removed of any fur. Close examination shows how the skin flows nutrients unable to be used for digestion and body use into fur. In use for armourers to craft better working equipment.
 	Sollkot Foot+ 	Quality Sollkot foot that gives it more suction to rocks and coral. The outer bone protects the vunerable padding from damage.
 	Sollkot Fur+ 	A good cut of fur from a Sollkot. It bears a smooth yet tough feel, for comfortable movement and protection against rocks and strong winds.
 	Sollkot Pinkfur+	Sollkot fur that is as pink as the Coral Highlands themselves. Completely good to the touch, guild members hold this in secret to prevent poaching of Sollkot.
===Master Rank===
Icon	Item Name 	Description
 	Sollkot Finehide 	A Sollkot's hide that has thickened good enough to be forged into rare great looking white leather. As good for hunters and craftsmen as it is to the monster.
 	Sollkot Padfoot 	An especially good cut of a Sollkot's foot. Even now, researchers continue to speculate about its evolution.
 	Sollkot Finefur 	Sollkot fur of the highest quality. Its bright yet drowsy state shows that it has stood the test of time in the place of beauty.
 	Sollkot Pinkfinefur	The rarity and value of this fur is incredibly high, due to both the rarity of a female Sollkot getting to the age where it is saturated in fibre and a perfect cut of the fur for maximum durability.
==Breaks==
*Fur Cut: Drops shiny that always grants Sollkot Fur.

===Shiny Item Drops===
====Material Items====
Their fur can be cut with blades, which always drops a shiny that gives Sollkot Fur of the respective rank.
====Slinger Ammo====
Sollkot give no red aura shinies, so no Slinger ammo can be gained from them.
==Ecological Information==
===Placement In Food Chain===
Sollkot are at the bottom of the Coral Highlands food-chain, as they only eat small loose parts from coral trees and other plant life in the areas. They are often preyed upon by the Tzitzi-Ya-Ku and the Shamos. They also can fall victim to the top predators and invading species in the Coral Highlands, like the Legiana and the nomadic Bazelgeuse and Deviljho.
===Behaviour Towards Other Monsters===
Being mainly passive monsters, they flee from anything significantly larger than them. They only dare attack ones who are in its size range in self defence. It has been noted that they become shortly aggressive to anything that cuts off its fur. 
===Tracks===
Being small monsters, they do not leave tracks for Scoutflies. But in theoretical views they leave round footprints. 
===Specific Locale Interactions===
Only found in the Coral Highlands, the Sollkot use their suction padded feet to climb up walls, even where hunters cannot usually climb to escape predators or get to food. 
===Special Behaviours===
When hit by a cutting attack, their fur will be shaven like with the Moofah. They for a few seconds turn aggressive on the hunter or rarely a monster that did it before fleeing. 
==Interactions with The Frenzy/Hyper State/Apex/Tempered==
None, they are small monsters.
==Ecology==
===Habitat Range===
Sollkot have only been found in in the Coral Highlands. There have been sightings of Sollkot corpses in the Rotten Vale, but no living individuals have been found. 
===Ecological Niche===
Sollkot are the lowest in the food chain in the Coral Highlands aside from Endemic Life. They only feed off the particles of coral eggs and from fallen pieces of the plant life in the locale. Any other monster in the area able to eat meat is able to hunt the Sollkot. This can range from Shamos packs to the apex predators like Pink Rathian and Legiana. 
===Biological Adaptations===
Sollkot are covered with fur that warms them from cold winds and offers small protection from rough terrain. This fur also tells the gender and state of the monsters. If it is white and grey with a mane, the Sollkot is male. If it is pink, resemblant of coral, then the Sollkot is female. This colour difference is due to different feeding habits of the genders and the amount of fibres absorbed into the fur. 
Unusual for a monster like this, they have padded feet. Acting like suction cups, they have a sticky skin underneath the hard bases that attaches to objects when stretched out. They have these rare adaptions due to the terrain of the Coral Highlands being very steep and high. 
===Ecological Behaviour===
Sollkot are passive monsters that won't attack anything unless provoked deliberately into doing so. They are Herbivorous monsters that won't eat anything else than plant-life, even small insects. 
They like many other Herbivore species travel and live in herds so to have some defence against small predators and to communicate locations of food and shelter. Most herds follow the eldest member, by males this is told by a longer mane and by females, pinker fur. It is possible for a herd to maintain until the eventual death of all the members via natural causes. Being in a herd is essential to a Sollkot's survival, as getting lost or a herd splitting apart can lead to ones becoming isolated in the lower parts of the Coral Highlands, where they are vulnerable to ambushes by Shamos and becoming unable to return to the highlands. Some may even end up at the boundary of the Rotten Vale, which a fall will guarantee a plummet to their death. 
A breeding season occurs when coral trees release their highest numbers of eggs. Sollkot find secretive places during this time as females are far less commonly born than males and the loss of some can cripple Sollkot numbers. As they are mammalian, they give live birth and parents will protect young throughout their growth at the sacrifice of eating less and being mainly out of a herd until they go to sleep.
==Trivia==
*Sollkot was created to add a Herbivore species to the Coral Highlands and to expand on the wildlife there.
*If slain while on a wall, it is possible for them to remain stuck there due to the suction pads. 
*The Sollkot young only exist in ecology and lore. It is impossible for hunters to find one in the hunting grounds.
*Carving the fur off a Sollkot with a long mane or brighter pink fur will drop a shiny that gives two pieces of fur of the type cut from.
*Sollkot can be riden akin to other Herbivores to locate coral patches.
