Novus Warden

== Description ==
=== Behavior ===
* The has the same intelligence levels as the other wardens, usually staying underwater. Solitary, but many creatures like to surround it due to the positive natural aura it emits.
* It does not have eyes and instead uses its extremely long protrusions to ‘see’ the world around it.
* The is usually found alone, passive most of the time, and only attacks if it faces a real threat.
* The usually enjoys floating in the water as it uses up less of its magic.
* Sometimes stranded creatures in the middle of the sea find themselves being carried to shore by the .
* The is a species capable of feeling emotion. Their aura changes completely when in a bad temper, making those too close to it feel uneasy.
** The can laugh.
=== Lore===
* The way that this creature appeared in Sonaria is completely unknown but, some people believe it came from another planet. Somehow, every time it emerges, it looks completely fresh and untouched, as well as being the most (chronologically) recent warden to be spotted, thus earning the name ''.
== Appearance ==
The is a hexapod, rock shrimp-like creature covered in armor and spikes. Its arms and legs are formed of floating rock interconnected by a bright static flux and with a spiral pattern on each one, and its tail is decorated by floating pebbles. At the base of its tail, two prominent blade-like decorations protrude. Like other Wardens, it has a mask floating over its face, in this case a leaf/shrimp-tail-looking one. The head is also decorated by similar-themed fins.
=== Males ===
Males have no additional features.
=== Females ===
Females have curved, ram-like horns behind their jaws.

== Trivia ==
* Concept by Kyzenith on the Creatures of Sonaria Discord. 
** Primarily inspired by shrimp, along with floating rocks.
** According to lore, "the 's appearance marks the start of fresh life, but is extremely hard to spot as it can traverse the land, skies, and seas. The is a large, majestic beast bound by its incredible life force and magic, so strong its aura sometimes helps the elements around it to flourish".
** Lore-wise, is also called Omnibus - Sentinel of Form and Harbinger of the Unknown. However, the name is spelt Omnis (meaning 'all' or 'everything') on the official concept art.
* The is the first (and only) released All-terrain Warden.
* was previously thought and intended to be the first never-returning Warden, but returned in the Land-Sea-Sky Event of 2023 by highly-demanded community request.
* The is the first creature to receive black blood. Because of this, when dying it drops a black carcass. 
** No real-life creature has this color exactly, albeit hemoglobin (gives red blood to mammals)-venous blood can get somewhat close. An example of this, though not the only one, would be the Ayam Cemani, an Indonesian chicken breed with fibromelanism, which makes them totally black from the inside out; the only non-black things about them is their white eggs and red blood, though the latter is commonly mistaken to be black because of its very dark red color. 
** The reason that the has black blood is because when East was setting up , she made a poll to decide which blood color would have, and black won the poll.
** The 's carcass was later updated to have un-textured neon black meat. (Again, this can be seen in real life animals such as the above mentioned Ayam Cemani, albeit it's not neon.)
* The is the first completely untradeable creature. 
** However, during the first days of both LSS events, it was mistakenly tradeable like any common creature.
*** Note: The following value and explanation were an unofficial educated guess, and did and does not serve as an exact reference, moreso a general idea of how many could exist after LSS Event 2022 but before LSS Event 2023, not including variables such as species lost to data issues, when trading, inactive or terminated, or how many users donated an excess of Shooms. Please keep this in mind. There were estimated to be around 20,000 species in existence before LSS Event 2023 (700 million, subtracted 50 million due to those who donated for the void palette that would've been awarded, divided by 35,000, the number needed for this species in Shooms during the first LSS Event. 700 million/35,000 = 20,000 ± 3000, considered the margin of error and can vary to extremes).
*** returned for the 2023 LSS Event, although the species still remained untradeable.
* Despite Sonar Studios staff saying that it would never come back, the ended up returning in the LSS 2023 Event as a reward given to players who completed all 5 missions and had a Shoom donation percentage of 100% or higher when the event ended.
* According to Lore, no one knows how long this Warden has existed; and one of its first sightings recorded having seen it carry two eggs in its arm. The eggs most likely belong to the itself.
* The is sometimes dubbed the "Rocky Shrimp Warden", "Rocky Warden", "Shrimp Warden" or "Flying Warden" by the playerbase.
* The is the first all-terrain with limbs detached from its body.
** Another creature with limbs detached from its body is the semi-aquatic, non-all-terrain Zohdok.
* There was a bug with a random green dot related with this Warden's Rage effects appearing on the left of this creature. This seems to have been patched, but a new bug appeared where a small cubic piece falls when spawning into the map.
* The writing on the 's Warden statue tablet translates to "False", which has caused some people to believe it's not a true Warden, or that the legacy native tribes thought so.
* The 's lore name, Omnibus, is a Latin word translating to the phrase 'for all'.
