Boreal Warden/Legacy

== Description ==
== Appearance ==
The is a titanic, quadrupedal creature with a similar but frail build compared to that of the Lmakosauruodon. It does not seem to possess flesh in some areas with bone-like structures for its legs. It appears to have a beak for a mouth, its head resembling an owl. It sports several large head feathers resembling that of Native American war bonnets. It also has a cloak over its back, draping onto its tail. Bioluminescent bulb-like shards resembling Christmas lights are found floating all around its body, mainly at the base of the tail and the sides of the creature, while feathers are found on its face and its back, arranged by size. Lastly, large chunks of ice (sometimes floating) are located on its neck, belly, and back. Its color palette consists of grays, cyans, dark blues, and blue-grays. Floating above its beak is the 's signature feathery Warden mask.
=== Male ===
Males have three feathers floating next to each leg.
=== Female === 
Females have three feathers floating above their tails.
The floating feathers present with each gender have glowing orbs present on them, the same glowing "bulbs" that are found on the body of the Warden.
== Abilities ==
== Gameplay ==
=== Pros ===
The is a herbivore with an excellent appetite, which, combined with its winter resistance, ensures it can stay for very long periods of time without food or water intake. Its HP regeneration, when at full health, is good enough to remain for a little while underwater, searching for food without instantly dying from drowning if truly desperate for food.
And the fact the has the highest amount of health of any creature, an extremely high weight, multiple resistances, and they can tank a lot of hits, and resist bleed and poison status and breath attacks to a degree. Warden's Rage increases its damage while being melee-attacked to a respectable level, and the can deal powerful blows for quite a while under constant melee strain, having plenty of time to attempt to escape danger.
It has one of the best nightvision stats (which also means Night Stalker will affect it the most, but it still can triangulate where the Night Stalker creature is via its AOE).
Being the tallest creature in the game as an adult also has its perks, hitbox-wise, allowing it to somehow be able to drink the water from very far places (like the old volcano lake from the top of the crater), making those few creatures heavier than you have problems when trying to pick you up and sometimes helping when grabbing something at a higher height, such as a flier.
=== Cons ===
Due to the nature of Warden's Rage, the may not be able to output a reliable amount of damage up until it has reached max damage, where the 's health will be moderately low, bite cooldown will have started to increase, and HP regeneration will have halved. Also, due to the nature of Warden's Rage any attack or effect that doesn't trigger it will easily kill a Warden with impunity (for example, heavy poison, breaths (even with the Breath Resistance, only the direct damage is blocked, and only partially), Area Escape, etc.), so due to the 's low base damage, attacking unprovoked a creature with high defensive debuff status (such as Eulopii) will be risky even with the resistances the may have.
The 's size and turn left it vulnerable to smaller, more agile creatures biting it; and being difficult to grab any other creature at toe-level. The 's horrible speed and stamina add to this (albeit its walk speed is quite fast), meaning it cannot give chase for very long, hide, or escape a dire situation should it ever need to run away.
Due to its long growth time, young will be vulnerable for quite a long time, with diminished stats (and Warden's Rage not working until becoming an adult) that make them easy prey.
Chat-wise, its huge size makes it difficult to read chat messages from and to this Warden, since the distance head-toe is enough to make the chat bubble change to "..." or disappear, with players often sitting or laying down (or rarely using cowering pose) to allow easier communication at the cost of being less defensible.

== Trivia ==
* Concept by Stood_04.
** The was "an unrelated creature design that Stood made in their freetime that they repurposed."
** Lore-wise, is also called Qhualhul - Sentinel of hope and Bringer of Winter.
* Modeled by Erythia.
* Re-animated by @Mukudori#0053 on the official CoS Discord.
* Developers and Testers gave subtle hints about its name on the Creatures of Sonaria Discord server prior to release.
** People called (and still do) this creature "Toe" because the first leaked image was of its toes.
* Confirmed to return every year in its corresponding event, along with all other Winter Event creatures.
** The was only available for 40-44 hours after its first release and a week after its second release.
* There are several bugged spots on the which will always revert to default colors when played in-game. Be careful when using appearance change tokens or buying special palettes for this creature, as the colors may not turn out how you want them to. This has been an issue since its release.
