Lus-Adarch/Legacy

== Description ==
=== Behavior ===
* The 's tail and frills birth spores of pollen that blind its attackers. Its mouth and internal organs are the only non-plant matter of its body, and therefore consistently secrete a digestive acid similar to pitcher plants.
* The has a very severe rivalry with the Kendyll, for unknown reasons.
== Appearance ==
The is a heavy built, quadrupedal creature, with layers of rough, fungal-wood frills sprouting from its neck, torso, and tail. It appears to lack facial features such as eyes and a nose and has a long horn protruding from its head. It also has large, bulky hooves on its forearms and legs, positioned in an unguligrade stance.
=== Males ===
Males present structures akin to stamens on their tail, as well as some points on the top and bottom of the crest.
=== Females ===
Females lack the features that males have.
== Abilities ==
== Gameplay ==
=== Pros ===
Thanks to Iron Stomach, needs to worry considerably less about eating rotten products (ignoring Sickness from any source), albeit still being careful of the water (yes, water because code-wise the water bar still gets depleted and if you eat too much rotten food too fast you get the dehydrated condition for a few seconds dealing extra damage and nullifying HP regeneration for a while) and HP depletion spoiled food deals.
The is a decently powerful photocarnivore, with bleed combined with serrated teeth and a small chance of Bone Break crippling the target of its ire, and a very-wide Area Sleep, and thus maybe compensating for this creature's flaws. Its massive weight and health pool allow it to tank direct hits, while its decent bleed defense allow the to ignore and heal low-to-mid levels of bleed for a while without resorting to resting. Being photocarnivore also means they have no need for water and thus they are not tied to any water masses.
=== Cons ===
Being photocarnivore means its hunger depletes far faster than normal. This, plus the horrendous speed, stamina and stamina regeneration, makes it really subpar at both finding food and keeping itself from starving, while chasing prey is rarely an option, specially if the prey is faster or has better stamina or stamina regeneration to run and has not been inflicted with slowed down status, to the point even Kendyll, a similar, slow, bone-breaking semiaquatic carnivore known to have a horrible stamina regeneration, fares better at finding food even without resorting to fish schools underwater. The lack of ambush makes it worse, giving it a huge disadvantage against the average photocarnivore. 's turn speed is also slow so many faster, more maneuverable targets could bite their ankles or tails without retribution. Its horrible night vision means it cannot see very well on the dark at night... albeit that also means abilities like Nightstalker don't really affect it.
Young are specially vulnerable since their long growth time plus the inherent reduced health, damage, status effects and belly young creatures have make their hunger insatiable and basically leaves them stuck for a good fraction of an hour close to a meat spawn point.
Additionally, due to its dark pink blood and beige carcass' bones, some people may just target this creature to see it bleed and drop a weird-colored carcass.

== Trivia ==
* The was designed (and modeled) by NauticaElurra (@Naut#6122)
** drew inspiration from "corpse flower", or "rafflesia", the largest flower in the world with a horrible stench.
** The is entirely made of fungal wood. Its frills are thick and heavy, and leather-like.
* Animated by Nimwit (Trial Developer).
* It is the first tier 5 photocarnivore.
* It's also the first photocarnivore without the ambush ability, and currently still lacking the ambush stat.
* Has dark pink blood. Due to that, it drops a pink carcass when dying.
** While in real life, purple-violet blood exists due to hemerythrin, a respiratory pigment of a purplish/violet color once oxygenated, which replaces hemoglobin in several invertebrates, this specific shade of pink is actually seen commonly in some vertebrates (including humans) suffering from some blood problems. On this case it seems to be a reference to its inspiration, the rafflesia.
* This creature can stay still on lava without taking damage as long as it's sitting or cowering.
* The resembles or is an unguligrade. This means that it walks on its claws/hooves/nails only, not unlike ungulates, the group which includes cows, deer, hippopotamus and whales.
* Bone break has been removed from Lus-Adarch
