* will sometimes work together in robbing other creatures of their meals. Once the meal is acquired, they will then fight each other for it.
* pick on larger creatures since they can out run/maneuver them.

* will eat anything even if it doesn't seem edible.
* The uses the large hand on its tail to transport portions of food that they would not be able to carry with their front arms.
=== Artist Headcanon ===
* are actually a sentient slime that formed a flexible shell to protect its body.
** The shell is never fully formed, causing some of the s inside to drip out. Some say that the goo will eventually develop into another .
== Appearance ==
The is a bipedal creature with an overall cherry pie theme. It has a wedge-shaped head, similar to that of a slice of pie, with openings on the side revealing a cherry-sludge. On its head it bears decorations similar to that of a cowboy hat, with what appears to be dollops of whipped cream making up the crown of the hat. There are also two cherries situated on top of its "hat". Along its neck and back are two rows of triangular ridges which stop at the creature's rump. Along the sides of its neck and torso are slits which leak and reveal more of the cherry-sludge within the creature, like the slits one might see on a pie. Its tail is disconnected from its body and seems to be made of the same cherry-sludge which leaks from its body, and the tail ends with a large four-fingered hand. It's arms are similar, being disconnected from its body, being made of cherry-sludge, and having four fingers.
=== Males ===
Males have multiple green ferns floating near the hands.
=== Females ===
Females have extra cherry sludge leaking from the gap made by the tail.

== Gameplay ==
=== Pros ===
The is a carnivore with a mildly high appetite stat, meaning it doesn't need to eat or drink often and is not tied to food spawns. Additionally, thanks to Iron Stomach, the can worry considerably less about eating rotten products (ignoring Sickness from any source), albeit still being careful of the water and HP depletion spoiled food deals. This advantage also gets boosted by its Food Restore ability when in groups. Food restore can be used to help others and make those who may try to hunt the reconsider since they are already a source of food without being killed, or to help packmates or make temporary alliances (for example, the provides food and water in exchange for protection). Being capable of eating-on-the-run, the disadvantage of getting stuck while eating or drinking gets dampened significantly. s are also quite fast, with decent stamina and average stamina regeneration ensuring it can run/ambush for a while and recover from tiredness in an acceptable time. Being capable of ambushing, has a mobility advantage over non-ambusher creatures of its mobility type, specially when entering water while ambush is in effect.
Their average-low damage for their tier gets complimented with their bleed so it can become quite dangerous to low-HP foes, as well as temporarily nullifying passive regeneration of high-HP creatures, making their bite mildly effective against any creature vulnerable to this status effect, instead of outright ineffective against heavier creatures with high health. Meanwhile, their mild poison defense ensures they can absorb more poison or toxin without getting dangerous once fully grown, and their necropoison may act as a bite deterrant, specially for inexperienced creatures.
It has excellent nightvision, which lets it roam at night without problem. Although this makes it the most vulnerable to nightvision-nerf abilities, such as Night Stalker, it also helps it pinpoint where the creature with such an ability is.
=== Cons ===
Its HP regeneration is slightly below average, meaning it takes a while to heal, and makes it more prone to suffer from %DPS effects such as cold, burns, acid or heavy poison. The latter is particularly important for during the average time they take to grow. Its slightly low turn speed may leave this creature at a disadvantage against the few faster, more maneuverable smaller opponents present in Sonaria.
Due to its pink flesh and tan bones, some creatures may target the just to see it bleed and drop a strange colored carcass. Due to looking like a pie, a few may target it as well. For some, the necropoison is not a deterrant, wanting to have its psychedelic effects. Even for those who do not want to suffer its effects, the necropoison start point is so low many creatures can grievously hurt the before it gets to dangerous levels, despite their average HP for its tier, and specially being on the lightweight side of its tier, being quite vulnerable to many (heavier) opponents, specially if they present high bleed defense. Plus a lot of experienced creatures can compensate for the confusion effect necropoison gives at mid stages, rendering that defense inefficient. Creatures with abilities capable or removing or dampening status effects such as Fortify have an advantage against the .

== Trivia ==
* Concept by Poky105 in the Creatures of Sonaria Discord.
** Inspired by cherry pies, as well as cowboy/bandit designs due to the dessert's popularity in North America.
*** The 's name may also be a combination of the words 'pie' and 'cherry', further referencing this inspiration.
** The 's chaotic nature was inspired by the "Windowsill Pie Thief" trope seen in old cartoons.
* , along with Cimmabu, is one of the first two creatures to release into the Sweet Explorer Gacha.
