It has a pair of long, deer-looking antlers that drop to its shoulders with a glowing petal-like circular object attached to each end of the horns, a large flower-like structure on its back, and armors plates with a repeated symbol resembling a crescent moon or a lopsided heart turned up with a dot above it situated in several places along its body, one of which floats above the head. It has eight toes on each of its front paws and seven on its back paws.
=== Males ===

== Abilities ==
== Gameplay ==
=== Pros ===
As an omnivore, food is easily accessible to the . The also currently has the highest max damage out of all Warden-type creatures, getting temporarily boosted by Berserk.
The is also one of the heaviest Tier 4 creatures. Its damage can be boosted with Berserk and Warden's Rage ability.
=== Cons ===
Due to the nature of Warden's Rage, the might not be able to output a reliable amount of damage up until it has reached max damage, where the 's health will be moderately low, and the bite cooldown will have started to increase.
Also, due to the nature of Warden's Rage, any attack or effect that doesn't trigger it will easily kill a Warden with impunity (for example, heavy poison, breaths, Area Escape, etc.), albeit once fully grown its poison resistance will make it more difficult to apply lethal levels of poison.
Its Berserk ability usually takes too long to stack or even take effect, so if a heavier creature with decent damage output keeps attacking them, the will be unable to reach the max damage output of its ability. This may make fights against heavier targets tough, especially if they have one or more resistance to the status effects or a way to get rid of those status effects deals (Gramoss, Athulyth, other , etc.)
