Coniferon

== Description ==
=== Behavior ===
* s smell fresh like actual pine trees.
* The green "feathers" on are actually leaves, which they use to photosynthesize with.
* Their ribbon-like appendages can be used as "hands".
* s absolutely love the company of other creatures, especially smaller ones. They interact with them very playfully and even guide them to unseen parts of the tundra.
* During the night, it is unknown why they are so extremely interested in the stars: a theory could be that they were once spirits among the stars that descended onto the pine trees in the tundra.
* They prefer peace, stopping any chaos in their territory by interfering, stepping right in between the commotion.
* If any visitor passes their territory, s will gift them berries or pinecones as a sign of peace while jingling the bells on their necks excitedly.
** The ribbons on represent "presents", as it uses these ribbons to give "gifts" (berries and healing) to others.
* If they are tired, can absorb water from their feet instead of using their mouth, although this takes longer.

Its head is similar to that of a bird's, bearing an ornamental golden crest consisting of two horn-like structures with floating crystals at their tops, along with a golden ribbon found on either side of its head. Two of the same ribbons can be found on its tail. On each of its legs, it has a "frill" similar to the other greenery covering the majority of its body.

== Trivia ==
* Concept by Kyzenith in the Creatures of Sonaria Discord.
** Inspired by "Pine trees, firs, Christmas trees, and the North Star".
** Part of its name may derive from the word "conifer".
* Modeled by JaxonBirb.
* Animated by Mukudori.
* The has light green blood.
** Due to this, when killed, the drops a light green carcass in Legacy.
** This is an actual color in some Earth creatures: both from those that use chlorocruorin, a green oxygen carrier that replaces hemoglobin in some invertebrates' blood and in some vertebrates (like some green-blooded lizards) that have adapted to carry lethal amounts of biliverdin in their blood, which is a toxic byproduct of heme catabolism whose only good side is that it has antimutagenic properties. It is possibly green just because of the inspiration of this creature, meaning the blood could be a sap, which is more fitting for the .
* is the very first photovore to receive the ambush ability. Also, before its abilities changed in Recode, it was the first photovore to receive an Elemental Breath ability in Legacy.
* It is the first Christmas Event creature to be an HP healer and the second overall Christmas Event healer if taking into account that Norskogg had Pack Healer ability during the first weeks of its release.
* Many people refer to it as "pine llama" or "pine alpaca".
