Moss the Eulopii

## Moss

" **'Nip it in the bud' means to stop something before it grows any further, ya know, like how plant seeds can bud? "Nip it in the butt" doesn't mean anything, unless you're tryna bite some ass** "
—Moss correcting a nymphasuchus who said the phrase incorrectly
**Moss the Eulopii** is fan character designed by Frostbite Carno. Moss resides in the *Creatures of Sonaria* universe.

Moss is a young adult Eulopii, just doin her best to survive the world of Sonaria, and doing so with a purpose; to thrive.

## Appearance

Moss is a small terrestrial, plant-like creature that resembles a small frog. There are flowers around her neck, along her back, and she has a bulb for a tail. She also has a flower atop of her head and a single eyelash on both eyes. She has quite large eyes, giving her great vision, though her night vision is actually pretty poor. Her eyes are aquamarine.

Moss is dark green with zero countershading on her underbelly unlike most Eulopii, and has intricate bright, blue-green tattoo-like patterns across her body. These markings glow in the dark. she has dark green-bluish moss covering her back. Her flowers are a similar color to her patterns but a bit darker, with the flower buds being very dark almost lookin black. Her paw pads are dark blue-green. Her bulb is cabbage-green with blue-green stripes across it, with dark blue-green leaves which are the same color as the moss surrounding the bulb.

## Personality

Energetic, playful, & fierce, as well as Curious, adventurous, and somewhat competitive

Moss is fiercely independent, with an adventurous spirit and excitement. Stubborn, feisty, and focused on her own ideas, Moss is a spunky little Eulopii who likes what she likes, thinks what she thinks, and acts far before realizing what she's got herself into. She's very social, and likes to be included, even when she doesn't always know what's going on and is easily distracted from it. When it's time to be serious she is among the first to comfort a sad friend or to understand to give them space until they're ready to seek comforting.

The sprouting flower on the top her head acts similar to a dog or cat's ears so they can signal emotion and curiosity, perking up when happy or excited, drooping when sad, when laid down threatened, and whatnot.

## Abilities

* **Poison:** Moss is a poison creature, using toxicity as her primary defense. Poison is a status effect that is inflicted by receiving damage and contains three levels of severity when stacking the effect, similar to other Poisons, such as Toxin (with poison and toxin being stacked together) and Radiation Sickness. The first stage from 0-11 of this effect, decreases health and stamina regeneration by 25%. From 11-20, it depletes stamina by 3% every 3 seconds. From 20 and higher, it damages 3% of the target's max health every 3 seconds. If sitting or laying, the health of creatures inflicted with this effect will not be lowered by this status below 10%.
* **Odor Attractant:** Moss can emit scents similar to that of flowers or chocolate, from her bulb by opening it up. She can use this ability to calm other creatures.
* **Speed:** Moss has a respectable speed that allows her to evade attackers. Blink and you might miss her!
* **Aestivation:** Moss can enter a state of dormancy, similar to hibernation, which is characterized by inactivity and a lowered metabolic rate, that is entered in response to high temperatures and arid conditions.

**Skills**

* **Climbing:** Moss has learned to use her sticky paw pads for latching onto rough surfaces to help her cling on, allowing her to vertically climb most surfaces such as trees.
* **Swimming:** Moss is a pretty good swimmer, better than most Eulopii, but that isn't really saying too much.
* **Burrowing:** Moss is a speedy digger, able to make underground tunnel systems
