Lmakosauruodon/Legacy

== Description ==
=== Behavior ===
* The 's tree is akin to an external heart for it. The tree intakes oxygen for the sauropod and keeps it alive as a whole. If the tree dies, so will the creature. 
* s are naturally protective of their young. When a young is born, their parents or guardians will guide it to a seed which the young will have it latched onto its back, allowing it to grow and strengthen the creature with additional resources.
* s are prone to illnesses during their youth. The still-developing tree may get sick or become damaged by bugs or parasites, making them very vulnerable to death. However, this immunity gradually strengthens as the tree and the ages, allowing those who do survive to live up to hundreds of years so long the tree lives on. 
* The oldest to have ever lived may have been up a thousand years old.
== Appearance ==
The is a large, quadrupedal creature that resembles a sauropod dinosaur, specifically Futalognkosaurus. Its neck has a few spikes, and wields a large beetle-like crest on the end of its nose much resembling the headpiece of the Japanese rhinoceros beetle. Its colors consist of turquoise, browns, and yellows. It also seems to have a (blossoming during cherry blossom) flower tree on its back that grows as it ages, which changes its color according to the current season.
=== Males ===
Males have a single horn on their heads and have spines running along its tail.
=== Females ===
Females have frills on its head to the beginning of their long neck, along with some frills on the backs of their hooves.
== Abilities ==
While not an ability for itself, the has two attacks, stomping while stationary and tail whipping while moving using the attack control . Both require enough stamina to work (with stomping consuming noticeably more), as demonstrated here and here. Tail whipping only deals half of the standard damage.
== Gameplay ==
=== Pros ===
Being an herbivore with such big food reserves, players can worry less about food, as herbs can be found in large swaths in certain areas of the map. It also has the highest base damage in the game with a small chance of bone breaking and a more-than-decent HP bar. It also has earthquake, which can come in handy with fliers trying to either kill/annoy the said . Also having a front and back attack makes it easier to defend yourself.
 can also quickly dispatch smaller creatures via using earthquake to break their bones and stomping them. Due to the 's high weight and damage the -50% damage penalty from earthquake usually will not hinder the much.
=== Cons ===
The 's frontal attacks, though high in damage, are hard to land due to its wind-up time. This makes the creature vulnerable to attacks from the side or back, which are very deadly especially from creatures with damaging status effects. In addition, requiring stamina for both attacks means that once your stamina is depleted you are very defenseless and may need a friend or packmate to help you keep fighting. It also makes drowning specially lethal for this creature and stamina-depleting/debuffs particularly crippling since they will tire their already low stamina faster and will prevent it from attacking.
The 's large size combined with the reduced turn speed and average-low HP regeneration also makes it a target for predation, specifically smaller creatures that can do damage faster than it can regenerate or creatures that specialize in powerful breaths or bleed, much like Gyroudus or Magnarothus, plus your normal attacks can only aim in front/behind the , so while they can hit fliers below their head, they are unable to attack upwards. Its size also means it can only hide in select places during a volcanic eruption.

== Trivia ==
* Designed by LammieLord in the Creatures of Sonaria Discord.
** The name was thought of due to a spelling mistake of the acronym "lmao".
* Modeled by Erythia.
* was the first Tier 5 creature to be added to the game.
* It has the highest amount of raw damage of any creature and the first to have more than one attack.
* It is the second tallest creature, the Boreal Warden being the tallest.
* The tree and sprout change colors with the seasons in-game, much like the Phugu.
** Players can attempt to use unique colors from selecting the tree on specific seasons, then paint the creature. However, those colors will not work outside the creature customization step unless you apply a close-enough color palette, and may default to a blue color after clicking "Play".
* The used to have a huge weakness to flying creatures, often getting killed by small fliers with status effects. To combat this weakness, the developers gave it an Earthquake ability, which helps it fight against its weakness to fliers and makes the Lmakosaurudon a formidable opponent.
* This creature is often referred to as "lmako" and "long neck". Sometimes it’s also referred as "sprout", or "tree dinosaur".
* When separate life stage models were removed, both of 's immature stages temporarily lost their respective trees, as the parts used were entirely unique to the original models. These were returned on November 11th, 2022.
