Moemoea

== Description ==
=== Behavior ===
* inhabit the rolling plains and dense woodland of Sonaria. As they travel in packs, they prefer to stick together in relatively large and open areas where there is a lot of room for escape if danger arrives.
* are pack creatures, moving in herds for safety and engaging in highly social lifestyle, similar to real-world elephants. Their lives are mostly spent grazing fields and forest undergrowth, as they are rather large and require a lot of sustenance to remain active.
* They are primarily crepuscular (active at dawn and dusk) creatures, and feed off of glowing plants that allow them to retain a type of bioluminescence on their outer frills.
* At night and during the day, migrate to dense Sonaria undergrowth to hide effectively from predators.
* The only time these creatures become effectively "aggressive" is when their young are threatened, and the adults form into a group to protect their young. They trample their enemies and primarily rely on defensive maneuvers.
* are able to display their cheek frills much like a frilled lizard can, and use them as a way to ward off predators.
=== Artist Headcanon ===
* are very fond of eating Mush, much to the dismay of the other creatures of Sonaria who sometimes seem to use this currency in a form of trade.
* Any mutations seen in the original concept art are effectively canonical/lore mutations; while not appearing in-game, some may exhibit these mutations with no boost in stats.
== Appearance ==

== Trivia ==
* Designed by malarkeii.
** 's design was heavily influenced by Parasaurolophus as well as the wings of butterflies, which is why the is so frilly and colorful. It was created for the original fantasy approach that Agartha intended, to be whimsical and mysterious.
** The name "Moemoea" is one of the few names given to a creature made by malarkeii that originally had no basis in another language or meaning. That said, it may have meaning in some languages.
*** In certain Polynesian languages, it's a word meaning "dream", or more rarely depending on context, "fantasy".
** It was originally planned to have physical mutations like extra teeth and other features, but for development reasons (extra hidden parts cause more lag), these weren't added to the game.
* Modeled by Erythia.
* was once featured on the Creatures of Sonaria thumbnail, but was later swapped out for another thumbnail.
* The 's description refers to Sonaria as Agartha, which is Sonaria's original name back during the early stages of the game.
