Geoptxina

== Description ==
=== Behavior ===
* They are rather sleepy all the time, so they stay long periods of time just resting in shallow waters in summer and inside caves on winter immobile.
* s store energy to walk many kilometers and never get tired.
* Baby s (called pebbles) are very energetic, practicing their head-butting against bigger and taller creatures' legs.
** Babies are also born mature enough to be on their own, so they are independent on the get go.
* They maintain their hearts to a slow but powerful rhythm, and their blood is mesothermic. Very adaptable to different temperatures, but prefer warmth.
* If smaller creatures are looking for shelter, s don't mind having them hide in the shell as long as they are not annoying, even defending the little creatures from predators.
* They can be rather territorial and try scaring away their own kin or anything bigger than themselves.
* They get to live up to 300 years, and are not that smart.
* Melons, gourds and any big, juicy fruit are their favorite meals.
* If one were to look long enough, the geode crystals in the shell shimmer and glow with mild bioluminescence that serves to mesmerize and calm down.
== Appearance ==
The is stout quadrupedal creature which bears a large resemblance to real life tortoises. It has a square-ish head with a sharp beak and no teeth. Its eyebrow ridge and the sides of its neck are lined with wide spikes. The has a uniquely shaped shell in that it creates a triangular shape when viewed from the front or a three-fourths angle. The "scutes" of its shell start from the creatures tail up to its shoulders, and they curve forward in such a way where there is an overhang on the front of each scute. Underneath each overhang is a crystalline texture, making the 's shell resemble a geode when viewed at the right angles. The creature has a mid-sized tail, which has a heavy club on its tail tip.
=== Males ===
Males have spikes along the sides of their jaw.
=== Females ===
Females have no additional features.

== Trivia ==
* Concept by Skydowkat in the Creatures of Sonaria Discord.
** Inspired by tortoises, ankylosaurs, and also by Malphite from League of Legends in its early concepts. 
** Originally its design was meant to be more cave-like, but it changed to be more based around geodes and ended up mixing the two ideas.
** The intent of the creature's design was to make a silly, but kind-looking tank. "Not meant to swim at all..."
* The temporarily flashes its geode parts on use of its Dazzling Flash ability. ( Legacy )
* The 's name is based off the words Geode + Petxina (the latter meaning shell in Catalan).
* The was originally going to release during the second part of the LSS Event 2023, although due to issues with its model it was delayed to part 3 and substituted with the Khetheral redesign.
