Lerachu/Legacy

== Description ==
=== Artist Headcanon ===
* According to lore (and CatboyNathann), the and are closely related, stemming from a common ancestor which evolved into these species.
== Appearance ==
The resembles a leek, or some other form of green vegetation. It has a slender body, accompanied by a lengthy neck. Several leaves frame the 's long snout, face and legs, further highlighting its classification as a photovore. Horizontal markings cross the creature's back, leading down its figure to its short, frilled tail. Upon its feet, defensive claws can be seen.
=== Males ===
Males are adorned with a pair of small antlers on their head.
=== Females ===
Females have a pair of ossicones atop their skull.
== Abilities ==
== Gameplay ==
=== Pros ===
 is a photovore with a decent appetite stat, which means finding food is not a struggle. Even in the rare areas without water, the can survive for extended periods since it needs to drink less often, which can be useful for AFK farming.
When it comes to defending itself, its very high damage output, along with its Bone Break and Harden abilities, can help it secure victories in fights that already skew towards the s favor. These can also be a tipping point against creatures with an advantage, such as better speed or mobility (like fliers), or with a heavier weight. Its Harden ability gives the increased weight and bleed defense stats it may need to deal with attackers, and Bone Break increases the likelihood said attackers cannot escape.
It also has an excellent nightvision, which lets it roam at night without problem. Although this makes it the most vulnerable to nightvision-nerf abilities such as Night Stalker, it also helps it pinpoint where the creature with such an ability is.
=== Cons ===
Being a photovore, the also cannot grab any would be carnivores or photocarnivores that attack it.
Although Bone Break is a powerful ability, the 's chances of inflicting it are on the lower end of the spectrum, meaning that while possible, inflicting Bone Break as a means to get an advantage in combat or as a means of escape would take longer compared to many other bone breakers. This is vital for dealing with more agile, flying, and/or ranged creatures, because otherwise, the has few options when dealing with these kinds of adversaries, especially due to its slow turn rate.
Its Harden ability has the con of slowing speed and lasting only a limited set of time, so while hardened it becomes even more difficult for the to escape or chase. Even without Harden active, its low stamina and stamina regeneration make it easy to tire and drown, and make it slow to recover.
The 's great size also dampens its ability to be used for AFK farming, especially in public servers, as there are fewer places where a can hide.
Additionally, due to its green turquoise blood and black bones, some people may just target this creature to see it bleed and drop a weird-colored carcass.

== Trivia ==
* Concept by @icecreamNavacodo.
** As seen in its concept art, the was inspired by leeks.
** According to lore (and CatboyNathann), the and Yama'tu are closely related, stemming from a common ancestor which evolved into these species.
* Modeled by Erythia.
* On Legacy, the has green turquoise blood.
** Due to this, when killed, the drops a green turquoise carcass.
** This is an actual color in some Earth creatures, from those that use hemocyanin, a blue oxygen carrier that replaces hemoglobin in some invertebrate's blood; albeit not on this shade, or chlorocruorin, a green oxygen carrier that replaces haemoglobin in other invertebrates; and in some vertebrates (like some green tree skinks) that have adapted to carry lethal amounts of biliverdin in their blood, a toxic byproduct of heme catabolism, whose only good side is that it has anti-mutagenic properties. However it is more likely the colour has been done as a variant of sap.
* Alongside the other Photovores and Photocarnivores, was moved to the Photovore Exploration Gacha upon its release.
