Athulyth/Legacy

== Description ==
== Appearance ==
The is a hardy creature with an owl-like build that seems to be entirely made of a giant curving pillar and seems to adorn ancient pillar-like structures on its back. It has grass, swirling runestones, and two massive spears piercing through its tail and neck. Its body structure and height indicate that it could possibly be one of the largest fliers in the game.
 has no gender dimorphism.
== Abilities ==
== Gameplay ==
=== Pros ===
The is a flying herbivore with an excellent appetite stat, ensuring this creature is not tied too tightly against food or water sources and is able to survive a famine or drought for very long periods. build leans towards a very effective defense against multi-status-effect hunters (with the primary example being Sigmatox), having very high HP, great weight, being unbreakable, having full Bleed Defense, and presenting the aforementioned Fortify ability that lets it heal from the most annoying status such as acid-covering, broken bones, radiation, and poison. This allows it to defend itself against individual attackers or, in the case of face-to-face combat with them (for example, against Sigmatox), destroy it with somewhat ease. This effectively leaves only vulnerable to raw damage output, slowed-down effects by breaths, abilities, or debuffs that are not negated by Fortify (see above section), or repeatedly reapplying those same statuses over and over again before the can use its Fortify ability again.
=== Cons ===
Because of the 's very low turn, walk, run, and flight speed, it's extremely vulnerable to faster, more maneuverable creatures, as well as ranged attacks. Fleeing from combat is not a great option either, aside from the huge initial jump-start flight makes - but this is only useful when escaping from grounded creatures. This also means the may have trouble finding food despite being a flier herbivore, albeit this is mostly compensated by its high appetite once it becomes an adult.
Its relatively low damage stat may still allow smaller creatures with status effects to stack up debuffs on it, such as Eulopii, Rukig, or Minawii, and makes 's attacks practically useless against anything heavier than it.
Additionally, due to its light transparent-grey blood, some people may just target this creature to see it bleed and drop a weirdly colored grey carcass.

== Trivia ==
* Concept by Stood_04.
** "Themed off of the goddess Athena- so it's an owl with features like spears and olive branches to catch that essence" (Quoted by concept creator Stood_04).
* is among the slowest fliers in the game.
* is the first creature to receive gray blood.
** Due to this, when killed, the drops a grey carcass.
** White/Transparent blood exists in real-life animals, an example being a fish that lives in Antarctica, the crocodile icefish, but it's usually only in some vertebrates when they lack any oxygen carrier (hemoglobin) because oxygen is very plentiful, and some insects, something unlikely in a flier.
* Unlike most carcasses, which use the foil material, the flesh of 's carcass uses slate instead. Other creatures which use unusual materials in their carcass include Parahexilian and Ani, which both use neon.
* Sometimes nicknamed as 'Stone Owl', 'Concrete Owl' or simply just 'Owl' because of its appearance, or 'The Flying Gramoss' due to similarities with Gramoss, plus how initially their stats had an incredible weight.
* is the second creature to have the Fortify ability, with the Sigmatox previously being the first.
* can avoid taking damage from lava by resting.
* In lore, there was an old book page of and Borenhir, possibly referencing that they are related to each other.
