Demetyra/Legacy

== Description ==
=== Behavior ===
* s try to be careful around smaller creatures, as to not hurt them.
* They use their tulip-like tail to collect pollen from flowers and use it to pollinate other plants.
* s can commonly be seen near other herbivores, as they have a beneficial relationship with them. The herbivores help protect the , and the helps plant growth in the area.
* Unlike most herd animals, s don't run away from most predators, and will work together to fight back and protect their young.
* Their diet consists mainly of nectar, fruit, and grass.
* Sightings of s indicate the beginning of spring.
* A group of s is called a bloom.
== Appearance ==
The is a ruminant-like creature with similarities to bovids, specifically cows with short horns and highland cattle, but with a more streamlined and elongated shape, and some leafery and flowery motifs, especially on their shoulders, ears, mane and exceptionally large and thick tail, where a tulip-like flower bud resides on its tip. More highland cattle similarities are noticeable on their snout and their hair-covered face that hides their eyes as adults.
A tag with a heart can be found hanging on their left ear.
=== Males ===
Males present straighter ears are and have slightly larger, curvier forked horns.
=== Females ===
Females present more droopy ears and have smaller horns than the males.
== Abilities ==
== Gameplay ==
=== Pros ===
 are herbivorous creatures with a decent appetite, meaning they can survive for a while without food and water, partially compensating for its restrictive mobility type and average speed. This advantage gets boosted by its Food Restore ability when in groups. Food restore can be used to help others and make those who may try to hunt the reconsider since they are already a source of food without being killed, or to help packmates or make temporary alliances (for example, the provides food and water in exchange of protection). Pack healer can be used as well to aid as a support creature. Being capable of eating on-the-run gives it multiple advantages, eliminating the risk of remaining stuck in-animation while eating, and providing the ability to regain hunger while fighting and/or fleeing. Its ambush gives it an advantage over most herbivores, specially against non-aquatic creatures when entering water. Its average stamina and stamina regeneration allows for the to at least use its ambush multiple times before tiring, and recovering normally from exhaustion.
Its HP and weight are good, quite high for its tier, which allows it to resist blows from quite a number of creatures. Guilt only exacerbates this against melee attacks, since after the first bite has been delivered, that attacker will have its damage halved for a while. Its mild bleed defense helps slightly against bleeders, and thanks to its mild poison resistance, once fully-grown, it can resist biting, being bitten, poisoned or irradiated by extremely toxic or venomous creatures without risking getting lethally poisoned immediately, such as Eulopii.
=== Cons ===
While its damage is not bad for its tier, it is still low enough that any damage against heavier targets becomes nearly meaningless, and lighter creatures can deliver their defensive status, such as the aforementioned Eulopii. 
Its bad turn speed and lack of ranged abilities leaves it weak against more agile, smaller and faster creatures, as well as other ranged abilities, specially anything that deals %DPS since their HP regeneration is on the average-low side, such as cold, 3rd stage of poison, sickness, breaths and several NPCs.
Its horrible night vision does help it ignore night stalkers, but that means it cannot detect creatures at night that aren't right in front of it without scenting, nor if a night stalker creature is nearby.
Its growth speed is also a bit lower than the average for its tier, which combined with the nature of growth leaving several stats debuffed and poison defense not working until max age, leaves young ones particularly vulnerable compared with other creatures of its tier. It is recommended to do like in the canonical behaviour section and work together to fight back and protect their young.
== Carry-able Creatures ==
== Trivia ==
* Concept by Renorayz in the Creatures of Sonaria Discord.
** Inspired by highland cattle, baby cows/calves, spring flowers, and the Greek goddess Demeter.
* Modeled by KaiOWl.
* Rigged by ThunderBoo666.
* It was briefly obtainable through the Herbivores Gacha before being moved to the Easter Store.
* is the third creature with different model parts during youth, the first and second being Trikylo and Sturbi; the third creature with gender dimorphism differences present before adulthood, with the Ani and Sturbi being the first and second; and the first one with different animations due to gender dimorphism before reaching adulthood.
* can more or less safely traverse through lava (idle animation, sitting, laying down, aggro, cower, hiding scent and walking on a straight line over lava don't hurt the ) as seen here.
