* retreat underwater during the summer.
== Appearance ==
The is a small quadrupedal creature with a cute appearance. It has a rounded face with a big crest on its head, which extends slightly past the base of the neck. It has small paws, and a part of its body which covers its torso like a cloak. It has a long, thick tail that has thick petal decorations lining the mid-section and tip of the tail. Its big, wide eyes present a glow on the back, and are decorated by small marking behind and below.
=== Males === 
Males have 2 extra petal decorations sticking out of their rump.
=== Females ===
Females have petal decorations on the ankles of their legs.
== Abilities ==
== Gameplay ==
=== Pros ===
The is a semi-aquatic herbivore with a high appetite stat, meaning it can survive for a while without food or water, and the second creature with a very powerful healing bite (defensive status effects won't kick in and affect the ), meaning they can AFK in pairs anywhere. Their healing abilities means they may sometimes be protected by other creatures, and their high HP regeneration means they can tank a series of percentile attacks easier, such as a single sturgeon NPC biting or Easter NPCs attacking. Their higher HP pool means they can also survive being one-shot, unlike the Ani, meaning the Defensive Paralyze will potentially kick in and perhaps stopping them from moving, giving this creature the chance to escape into a more hospitable environment, such as underwater or dry land. Overall, with the high speed, amazing health and stamina regen, and two defensive statuses, might not be able to fight back but can certainly flee to the nearest safest spot if endangered.
Its Keen Observer ability has several advantages too, from knowing who to protect/heal, know if someone is suffering hypothermia/hunger/dehydration, knowing if someone is there invisible and/or with hidden scent, to knowing which target is the weakest/most debuffed and act in consequence.
=== Cons ===
Being unable to deal damage means some creatures won't stop mercilessly attacking this creature knowing the cannot normally defend itself back, at most using its surroundings for defense and offense. Its smaller size also makes it easier for larger creatures to kill.
Additionally, due to its light pink blood, some people may just target this creature to see it bleed and drop a pink carcass. After the 13th January 2022, it also is to see it drop a translucent pink carcass upon dying.

== Trivia ==
* Concept by Xhosa_Onkai on the Creatures of Sonaria Discord server.
** The 's design was inspired by moon jellies and Easter eggs.
* is the first creature with pink blood. Due to this, 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.
** Its meat texture is also translucid, probably in reference to its moon jelly inspiration.
* Second creature with a negative damage (healing) value, with the first being the Ani.
* Due to some mistake, was initially in the Photovore Explorer Gacha by mistake upon release. This was immediately patched.
* The has the highest health regen in-game, currently tied with Ura's. It's so high that, even if it weren't Semi-Aquatic and only Terrestrial, it would negate the damage produced by normal water drowning and still be capable of regenerating a bit.
* The once had the Guilt Ability, but it was removed when it received an HP buff.
* The was once a photovore, but its diet was changed to herbivore on the update of January 27th, 2023.
** During its time as a photovore, the was the only semi-aquatic photovore in the game.
** It is the second creature which received a diet change long after its release (which wasn't correcting a release error), the first being Aereis.
