Flum Ox

Common

Bio: "The Master of zen, the Lord of yoga poses, the King of the four elements of Air, Water, Earth and Fire. The Flum Ox has returned from the Dawn of Fire! These chill, laid-back Oxen are still heralded as some of the wisest monsters around. Despite its calm, sleepy and quite possibly lazy lifestyle, Flum Oxen are actually in a constant state of spiritual connection with the surrounding world and prefer peace and balance over conflict and chaos. Because of this, Flum Oxen have a hard time getting along with certain Mischievous Plants and if they could encounter one, most certainly a species of Robotic Madmonsters. But even through that, Flum Oxen learn as they grow up that not everyone's perfect, and learn to accept that."

## Description

The Flum Ox is similar to that of an ox. It has a reddish lavender fur coat that becomes purple-blue closer to the feet, and white fur on its chest. It has a long white-mauve beard and a long tail. Even though it doesn't have any arms, the horns on its head appear to be in the shape of hands in meditation, and the same color as the fur of their feet. It also has short bunny-like ears. It sits in an approximation of the "lotus position", and floats above the ground.

Flum Ox's idle animation consists of it slowly rising and falling, while looking left and right periodically, its tail occasionally batting at seemingly nothing and the Flum Ox occasionally yawning, with its eyes shut tightly as it yawns.

Rare Flum Ox is a rather interesting looking Monster. It has a vermilion orange fur coat that becomes syracuse orange closer to the feet, and violet on its chest. It has a long, silky, thick silver beard which ends with a four fingered hand like shape at the bottom of its beard and a long furless tail with indigo coloured skin & the end of the tail is lit in an eternal white-blueish-green flame.

Its horns, unlike the common cousin's horns, aren't full of cracks, its horns have various spiraling & swirling patterns similar to Blow't's quills, that glow an ocean blue & sea foam green colour, the ends of the horns appear in the shape of hands in meditation, only the fingers seem to have golden webbing inbetween the fingers & the fingertips are a white colour, while the horns are a fiery red colour. Its feet also have sharper toenails than the common cousin's.

It has sparkly mauve eyeshadow, slit wine red irises, with medium-sized pupils, and red lips. It has a third eye on the middle of its forehead that's always closed, almost camouflaging with the colour of its head. Instead of ears, it has curved coral branch-like horns, it also lacks the tiny horns on its head & spikes on its back that its common cousin has. It also has the Yin & Yang symbol on the centre of its chest.

Epic Flum Ox appears to be made of pure spiritual energy, whilst also having rather extreme aspects from each of its four elements. It has ??? (The rest is for Jordan to decide on)

Extravagant Flum Ox is the result of a Flum Ox that has ascended beyond mortal comprehension and achieved pure, content balance. It has no visible legs, instead resting upon fluffy white, purple and yellow nimbus clouds that rain onto the ground below, and it has dull green moss growing on the bottom of its body. Its tail appears to be made of non-lethal blue fire and looks more like a single feather tail than an Ox tail. It has a black-blue fur coat, with grey fur on the chest and golden fur on its arms.

It has a spiral on its chest that radiates a purple aura of spiritual energy, it has a pair of small white angel wings located at the midway point on its back that have tiny golden spiral patterns on each feather. Its arm-looking horns on its head are actual arms unlike its other cousins, with golden fur that glistens in the light, four fingers and a thumb on each hand, with pointy small fingernails and crystalline spikes on the shoulders and elbows of the arms. It also has a shiny gold halo-like ring around its neck that floats in mid-air with the Extravagant Flum Ox.

It has a long, bushy, yet neat white beard, small orange-yellow lips, an equally small human-like nose, a green iris for its left eye, and a red iris for its right eye, as well as silver eyelashes. It has small elephant-like ears, which have fur on the outer half and pink-purple skin in the inner half. It has a single red-brown antler on the top of its head that splits into five short branches, each branch holds a tiny pinecone on it.

Extravagant Flum Ox's idle animation consists of it slowly rising and falling on its nimbus clouds, as well as swaying left and right on its nimbus clouds, which pour rain onto the fertilised ground below, it slowly blinks whilst looking around with a constant soft smile, its ears occasionally twitch and its wings flap every now and then, all while its fiery tail cackles and sparks of the blue flames it's made of, and its chest spiral lights up brightly every now and then.

However, the combination of triple and single element monsters has a higher rate of success:

* Scups + Kayna
* Floogull + Toe Jammer
* Whaddle + Noggin
* Thrumble + Tweedle
