Muletide

Muletide is the Simplicitrix/Stabilized Simplicitrix's DNA sample of a Nestoid from the planet Arbiete.
==Appearance==
Muletide is a mule-like alien with dark maroon red hair, with the exception of the tip of his snout, the back of his ears and neck, the ends of his legs near his hooves, and his tail being white, covered with varying bright green patterns resembling simplistic drawings of pine trees across his entire body. Muletide has bright green inner ears, golden teeth and hooves, the former emphasized by his large overbite, and strange crystallized eyes that resemble shattered gemstones.
Muletide wears multiple Simplicitrix symbols as patterned designs on the ornament-like protrusion on the end of his tail.
==Powers==
*Muletide holds within him "the spirit of Christmas," an angelic entity of unimaginable power that seeks only to spread festive joy and cheer through its organic vessel, only becoming released into the outside world whenever Muletide suffers extreme physical damage towards his midsection, enough to literally break and tear him open like a piñata. Should the spirit of Christmas be released from their vessel, their presence would cause horrendous environmental damage through its sheer power causing massive explosions of angelic energy, completely lethal towards any and all demonic entities as exposure would literally vaporize and disintegrate them into ash.
**While the spirit vanishes into realms unknown, Muletide's corpse transforms the environment around it into a festival Christmas theme, comparable to how Booquet can release spores that create a spooky Halloween theme. Those within its presence that are good of heart will be rewarded through transforming any inorganic matter on their person into peppermint candy, while those who are bad of heart will be punished through being forced to vomit up their stomach contents in the form of coal dust, choking them in the process.
*Muletide has enhanced strength, durability, senses, specifically hearing and smell, jumping, and biting.
==Weaknesses==
*Muletide does not survive the release of the spirit of Christmas, with his corpse being slowly assimilated into his surroundings once he begins transforming into a festival theme, although the Simplicitrix has added a failsafe that automatically transforms the user after the spirit has left, separating them from Muletide's corpse.
*Muletide's peppermint and coal dust transmutation have limitations, with the former only affecting non-significant inanimate matter on the affected individual's person, meaning anything in their pockets, but not their clothing, while the latter only transforming anything within their stomach, meaning if it is empty, they'll be spared from its effects.
*Nobody knows where exactly the spirit of Christmas leaves to, nor is anyone inclined to find out.
==Etymology==
*Muletide's name is a play on "mule" and "yuletide," an archaic term for Christmas.
*Muletide's species name is a play on Nestor, the Long-Eared Christmas Donkey, from the 1977 Christmas stop motion animated television special of the same name.
==Trivia==
*Muletide comes from the same planet as Christmas Pine.
*Muletide was drawn by Shark, who suggested his abilities, while his etymology was suggested by Blake.
**Muletide's abilities were tweaked by WTB, who leaned towards making him a different holiday version of Booquet.
