Draught's Den (Draught stables)

The **Cradle of the Moon** is one of the cities of Ostlea. It is the fifth chapter in the Library book *The Guide to Notable Cities and Towns*.

The book *Gryffi's Fairy Tales* contains a poem about the Cradle of the Moon.

## Story

Located deep within the Elegema Forest The Cradle of the Moon is a place rarely seen by outsiders, not just because of its remote location but for the protectiveness of its denizens. While not outright hostile to visitors the elves that call this place home make it quite obvious that an uninvited extended stay is unwelcome. Despite their reluctance to host guests, the elves are anything but reclusive. Every winter a caravan sets out with a small herd of Forest Draught pulling sleighs laden with trade goods. The vast bulk of the stock they carry is made up of case upon case of Moon Glow Wine, said to be distilled from pure moonlight.

Beyond the trade routes the denizens of this city are most often found during times of heavy snowfall traversing the forest with teams of Draught in search of those who have become stranded. If the traveler is unable to be sent onward to their destination they are treated to a swift ride insulated against the back of one of the draught as it returns back home to bring its passenger to safety.

The city itself boasts long wooden bridges connecting dwellings that reach from root to crown of the great trees. Each tree that has become host to a dwelling appears to have a crown trimmed and cultivated carefully into the shape of a crescent moon on its side. At the center of the city grows the mother tree, a massive pine twisted with age and adorned with innumerable moonstones hanging from its many branches.

## Description

Aah, a delicious cup of iced coffee in an ice cup. Share it with your coffee dragons to change them into their iced form.

Glinting Orb

The **Glinting Orb** is an item which can be found while clicking creatures with an elemental affinity for Light.

## Description

This orb reflects every light around it so well that it almost looks like it is a source of light itself. A rogue group of wizards claim that the interior structure of the orb reflects the light around it so it appears amplified. Whatever the case, it hurts to look at for too long.

## Effect

The Glinting Orb can be used on creatures with an elemental affinity for Light, which have a Zenith form and which have at least 200 clicks. Doing so will turn the creature into its Zenith form. Once changed, it cannot be changed back into its Adult form unless it is sold, traded or abandoned.
The item cannot be used from the inventory, and instead needs to be used at The Portal.

Coffee Dragon

* Normal
* Iced
* Black (Oddity)
* Irish (Oddity)

## Irish Coffee Dragon

**Coffee dragons** are dragons found in Lyzta's Jungle. They were part of the opening day release.

## Descriptions

### Egg

It's not an egg, it's a bean. A coffee bean, judging from its delicious smell.

### Hatchling

A tiny dragon hatched from the coffee bean. You're very confused; beans aren't supposed to hatch! The little dragon is clinging strongly to its coffee bean still.

### Mature Hatchling

A tiny dragon hatched from the coffee bean. You're very confused; beans aren't supposed to hatch! The little dragon is clinging strongly to its coffee bean still. It hasn't grown very much, but is giving off an increasingly strong coffee scent. It's also grown a thick, creamy-colored mane.

### Adult

Among the very smallest dragons, coffee dragons lay their eggs in coffee beans. The dragons keep the beans they hatch from all their lives but it's not really known why, because if it gets lost they don't seem too bothered and just go about finding a new one. Coffees leave behind a powerful scent of coffee; this is stronger in males, which are believed to attract females with their scent. The specific scent left behind varies by subspecies based on the type of coffee from which they hatched.

## Iced Coffee

On the 20th of December 2015, a potion alt for the Coffee Dragon was released as part of the Christmas Countdown of the Christmas 2015 event. The Iced Coffee potion was given out with a promo code, but could also be bought from the Apothecary for 100. The potion can be used on any stage Iced Coffee.

## Trivia

According to Mochiccino , the name was inspired by her spilling coffee on a drawing because of her cat. She liked how the coffee splatter looked, so she drew it out, resulting in the Coffee Dragon. The pattern the coffee created became the swirly mane and tail on the dragon.

Mochiccino's Oddity colours are based on her birthstone, and her love of turquois.

Aucusto Statue

The **Aucusto Statue** is a creature found in Lyzta's Jungle. They were released on the sixth day of the Creature Symposium 2016.

## Descriptions

### Egg

Light bounces off this shiny egg's surface.

### Hatchling

A golden turtle has emerged from the egg! It's oddly protective of you.

### Mature Hatchling

As it's grown bigger, the creature has taken to sitting outside the entrance of your home and often refuses to budge.

### Adult

Aucusto Statues are very majestic and somewhat mysterious statues imbued with incredibly strong and sentient magic. Existing explicitly as protectors, these creatures are most often found outside of jungle shrines and other divine buildings; frequently mistaken as mere statues, they remain completely still for the majority of their lives, only becoming animated when a threat is present. Becoming dangerous and fierce beasts when awakened, Aucusto are not creatures to be reckoned with and are extremely difficult to hurt given their nearly impenetrable shell and thick scales. However, these creatures are often merciful and seek to teach a lesson to wrongdoers, and will not severely injure intruders unless it's entirely warranted.

## Trivia

* The name 'Aucusto' comes from a combination of Au (the periodic symbol for gold) and custos, the Latin word for guardian/protector.

Clover Nathair

**Clover Nathairs** are creatures found in the shop for 3000 per egg. They were released in celebration of St. Patricks Day, 2018

## Descriptions

### Egg

It feels strangely lucky that you even managed to spot this soft, speckled green egg.

### Hatchling

A little green snake has hatched from the egg! It's tiny scales are softer than you expected them to be.

### Mature Hatchling

A prominent golden strip has developed down the length of the snake's body! It's oddly affectionate, frequently wrapping itself around your arm and gently tagging along wherever you go.

### Adult

Clover Nathairs are elusive snakes generally associated with good luck, a sentient that carries all throughout Ostlea, even among the most differing cultures and communities. These herbivorous reptiles are very docile and amicable, making them charming pets and creatures for less experienced tamers—if one can stumble across one of these seemingly non-existent snakes, that is. Just being in the company of a Clover Nathair is said to bring serendipitous fortune, and it's not just a rumor either; the golden stripe that adorns their back is laced with magic that attracts positive energy, naturally bringing ideal fortuity to those around it

Gemswallow Snake

The **Gemswallow Snake** is a creature found in the Mystic Caverns biome. They were released on the third day of the first Creature Symposium.

## Descriptions

### Egg

This tiny, silver egg wobbles every so often.

### Hatchling

The little snake hatched from the egg and darted off to the shadows.

### Mature Hatchling

It's grown quickly, becoming both longer and wider. It uses its powerful muscles to leap from the air as your bats fly over, although it's not strong enough to reach high enough yet. Sometimes you also see it hanging from stalactites, trying to catch bats that way.

### Adult

Can you guess the diet of this breed of snake? Gemswallow snakes live in caves to eat their fill of jewels, gems, crystals- anything like that. Unlike most snakes, the gemswallow snake does not have sharp fangs. Instead, it actually has rows of rounded teeth in it's mouth created specifically for crushing gems. You don't want to get bitten by those! The snake also eats gemeater bats. It's said that a gemswallow snake accidentally ate a gemeater bat, thinking it was a gem. Turns out these snakes really like the flavor! To catch a gemeater bat, the snake will sneak up on it and use magnificent speed to catch it. This speed allows the snake to leap upwards for a quick second to catch any bats in flight. Although all these interesting facts are known, gemswallow snakes are still a mystery in some ways. For one, no one knows why they only eat gems and gemeater bats. It's also unknown of how the gems don't harm the snake when eaten, and what nutritional value they hold for the snakes.

Cariodale

###  Diet

Unknown, though rumors speculate they feast on the flesh of their hapless victims

###  Egg group

Large

**Cariodales** are equines which can be bought in the Menagerie for 1 per egg. They are only obtainable in the Fall.

## Descriptions

### Egg

This potion gives off a foul, dark colored smoke.

### Adult

Once thought to be the same species as Nightmares, Cariodales are an entirely different species created by dark magic. At first appearing healthy, they quickly become unstable and begin to fall apart. They become angry and uncontrollable and their flesh eventually falls away completely, giving way to little more than a mindless skeleton. If it loses a bone, the magic holding these creatures together is so powerful that it simply draws the bone back and returns it to its place.
Nest

**Nests** are items which can be purchased from the Apothecary.

## Description

Using this nest will influence your creature's gender to be male/female.

## Effect

Nests can only be used on eggs. They will influence the gender of the creature to be the one of the type of nest used. It is the preferred method of deciding a creature's gender, with the only other method available being the expensive gender change potions.

## Trivia

On the Inventory page, the nests are listed as 'Gender' items, a trait they share with the Gender Change Potions. They can be considered potions, however.

Mystic Caverns

The **Mystic Caverns** is the name of one of the Biomes. It is sometimes referred to as the Cave.

Shortly after the site's opening, it was renamed from Mystic Cavern to Mystic Caverns, as it is also written on the map.

## Description

You discover a cave that has dotted its floor and walls with glowing crystals. You have come across other caves, but this one has a vibe of magic. The crystals even seem like they are strategically placed so that you will be able to see as you walk through. As you walk around the cave, you find eggs around. It seems your hunch of this cave being special was correct.

Will you take one?

Rejuvenating Fairy

The **Early November 2015 release** started on November 13th, 2015. This release marked the first time a new Donation creature was added to the site, the Nightmare. The normal creature released alongside it is the Shimmerling.

At the same time as the creatures, the Rejuvenating Fairy was made available. In addition, some new content was added to the Library.

## Release Announcement

Two new discoveries have been made in the world of Ostlea!

Shimmerlings: These can not currently be fed! They will be mass dropping in the Jungle until Sunday 11:59 the site's time after which they will be mixed in with the normal drops.

Nightmares: You can find the second egg in the Menagerie being sold for one crystal each. These CAN be fed.

A new book has been added: The Guide to Notable Cities and Towns. Written by Novadragon.

Lore & Legends has also received an update with four new stories written by xxBurningxx!

AND some of you may have noticed that the cool down for freezing an egg has returned, this was due to an exploitation caused by it's removal, but the good news is the apothecary now carries an new item to assist all you egg collectors out there and for only 100 silver!

*This strange creature described as a fairy resets all growth on eggs, reducing clicks to 0. The instructions read: Release the cap, pull the tag to imbue fairy with timeless sand, and point in direction of egg. Someone appears to have hijacked the label, crossing out the original name and replacing it with "S U P E R G L". There was not enough room for them to finish.*

Finally! I would like to announce that the New Arrival's Guide to Ostlea is officially up!

### Mature Hatchling

The odd hatchling continues to grow larger, and can glide short distances despite the holes in its wings.

### Adult

While Ostlea is plentiful with odd creatures, Iniglla Wyverns are particularly bizarre in the sense that they are made up of both flesh and plant. Despite their ghoulish appearance, they're actually quite gentle creatures and are especially affectionate towards their tamers. Accompanying this, they are incredibly loyal to their owners and will fiercely defend them when any type of threat is present. At night, the flowers blooming on a Iniglla Wyvern's mane will glow softly.

Creature Stages

During a creature's growth, it goes through several **stages**. There are four regular stages, with a fifth optional stage, the Zenith stage.

## Egg stage

    The Egg stage is the very first stage in a creature's growth. Eggs are acquired from the biomes and shop.

During the egg stage, a creature goes through several sub-stages. These are represented by the egg cracking. Aside from the basic egg stage, there are four cracking stages. These occur around 10 clicks, 20 clicks, 30 clicks then 35 clicks respectively,

Eggs can be frozen, named, abandoned, traded and sold. The gender of eggs can be influenced with the use of a nest. At least 40 clicks are needed for an egg to progress to the next stage.

## Hatchling stage

    The egg stage is followed by the Hatchling stage. This represents a creature which has just hatched from its egg.

Creatures in this stage can be frozen, named, abandoned, traded and sold. At least 65 clicks are needed for a hatchling to progress to the next stage.

## Mature Hatchling stage

    The third stage in a creature's growth is the Mature Hatchling stage. It follows the hatchling stage. This is the first stage where creatures show their gender, which is occasionally shown with a difference in sprites.

Creatures in this stage can be frozen, named, abandoned, traded and sold. At least 100 clicks are needed for a mature hatchling to progress to the next stage.

## Adult stage

     The final regular stage in a creature's growth is the Adult stage. The optional Zenith stage follows this one. Creatures still show their gender in this stage, which is occasionally shown with a difference in sprites.

Creatures in this stage can be named, abandoned, traded, sold and bred.

Adult creatures can still gain clicks.

## Zenith stage

     The true final stage of a creature's growth is the Zenith stage. Only creatures which have acquired 200 or more clicks can grow to the Zenith stage, and then only after an Elemental Orb has been used on it in The Portal. Creatures in this stage show their gender, but this is never shown with a difference in sprites.

All Zenith-stage creatures get an addition to their Adult description. This addition is the same for all Zeniths and is as follows:

*"Zeniths are a mysterious variant of Ostlean creatures that are said to have ascended to their fullest potential. Existing due to incredibly strong bonds formed between tamers and creatures, these powerful beings are not commonly seen around Ostlea."*
―Zenith Description

Creatures in this stage can be named, abandoned, traded, sold and bred, but will revert to their Adult stage for all of these except naming.

Zenith creatures can still gain clicks.
Gemeater Bat

* Very Common
* Common
* Shop

## Aquamarine and Rhodonite Gemeater Bats

**Gemeater Bats** are bats found in the Mystic Caverns. They were part of the opening day release. There are various colours available with varying rarities, and two colours which are only available through the Menagerie in the Bazaar for 1000 per egg.

A Zenith stage was added during the First Birthday event.

## Descriptions

### Egg

This small egg seems to glitter when light hits it.

### Hatchling

A white bat has hatched from the egg. The patterns in its wings remind you of a gemstone.

### Mature Hatchling

A white bat has hatched from the egg. The patterns in its wings remind you of a gemstone. The bat has grown bigger now. Now it flies around and nibbles on rocks it finds.

### Adult

Gemeater Bats are named so because of the changes in color they undergo after consuming certain gems. Their teeth are made of a special, hard magical substance, which allows them to bite into a gem, and slowly drain the color from it, which also causes their own change in color over time. Once the gem is completely drained of what the bat needs, it moves on to find other gems to feed upon. It is common for Gemeater Bats to change hues throughout their lives.

Gryffi's Fairy Tales: What Goes Around Comes Around

***What Goes Around Comes Around*** is the ninth chapter in the Library book *Gryffi's Fairy Tales*. It tells the story of a cruel woman who abuses her Fenn and as a result is haunted by a Sus.

## Story

Her hands were shaking. Her heart was beating unusually fast. And she felt cold--inexplicably frozen, as though a layer of ice had settled over her entire body and was beginning to consume her. She couldn't stop shivering, even though the fireplace was lit and her slaving fenn was nearby. She felt like she was being watched. Something was looming over her shoulder, but she didn't know what.

She prodded the fenn with the sharpened stick she always kept by her side. "Keep it warmer in here, will ya?!" she yelled, growing uncomfortable with how cold she was. The creature cawed obediently, spitting out a flurry of fire in her direction. Close enough for her to feel the warmth but not so close that it'd possibly burn her.

The heat offered by the flames was pleasant, but were soon replaced by the same relentless chill that had seeped into her bones. She went to bed that night, paranoid and on guard, the fenn chained up closer to her bed than usual.

A loud crash somewhere in the house woke her up hours later. The room was dark save for the glowing embers of the beaten fenn. Slightly disoriented, she pulled herself to her feet to investigate. She kicked the fenn in its side and it popped awake with a startled and alarmed chirp. Yanking it by its chains, she stepped out into the hallway, looking in both directions.

Thinking that the sound had originated towards the dining room, she hesitantly walked in that direction. Upon entering, she didn't see anything out of the usual. However, there was a terrible feeling humming in her gut and she couldn't shake the impossible sense of being watched. She went back to bed then, still spooked, but she was able to convince herself that it was nothing.

The strange occurrences continued to happen for days afterwards, and soon sleep was a luxury no longer granted to her. The walls would creak and sudden knocking would startle her every time she even began to near unconsciousness. She found herself completely devoid of peace. The awful state of unrest continued to ail her until one evening the core of her problems manifested itself before her.

A pair of glowing red eyes glared at her, burning into her skin and making her feel vulnerable. She found herself backed into a corner, her fingers clenched around the chains of the enslaved fenn. "W-what do you want from me?" she whispered, panic and ice cold fear clawing at her chest. The beast before her didn't respond, merely stood its ground and stared at her until she finally broke into a heaping pile of tears and unadulterated terror.

And from that day on, no one ever saw or heard from the cranky old lady ever again. Granted, no one could say they missed her.

**Enchanted Plushies** are dragons which can be bought from the Menagerie in the Bazaar for the price of 1000. They were part of the opening day release. Several variant forms exist, each with their own elemental affinity, and are induced by feeding them an enchanted sock from the Apothecary. Once given this item the affinity is permanent and can't be changed by giving it another sock.

On May 28th, 2016, their egg group was changed from Medium to the new Enchanted group. This meant that they could now breed with others in the same group, whereas they were unbreedable before.

During Halloween 2016, the Skeleton Plushie was released, available through Grave Digging.

## Descriptions

### Hatchling

The egg has become a little hatchling! It seems like a plushie, but for some reason it keeps munching on your socks.

### Mature Hatchling

The plush hatchling has grown a lot larger, and your collection of socks has dwindled quite a bit. The little dragon seems to be moving on to larger clothing now - your wardrobe doesn't seem to be safe anymore!

### Adult

Enchanted plushie dragons are very cuddly, but you'll have to be careful around them; they absolutely love munching on clothing. While they don't need nourishment to live, they just can't resist it! Whenever you turn your back on the plushie, it seems to get itself in some new trouble. But at the end of the day, when it's exhausted itself with mischief and munching, it always returns to your side to snuggle.

## Trivia

According to the plushie spriter, Rhynn, the Non-Magical plushies were originally going to be her site opening Oddities, and with that the only breedable plushies on the site. However, after creating the Ryukoi, she decided she wanted Oddities of those instead and changed the Plushie version she made as her alt into the Non-Magical form.

Originally, when buying a plushie, the element was to be decided at random. Only minutes before the site's opening, Gryffi asked Rhynn to sprite a sock to be used as a potion for the Plushies instead.

The *Plushie Enthusiasts* fanclub was the first ever fanclub on Tales of Ostlea.

Galagaloo

* Normal
* Feathered

## Feathered Galagaloo

**Galagaloos** are bird-like creatures that can be found in Lyzta's Jungle and Elegema Forest. They were released on September 8th, 2017.

## Descriptions

### Egg

This shiny blue egg reflects the light through the trees.

### Hatchling

This waddling little baby can't seem to get used to its large feet and keeps stumbling into you. It seems very interested in biting and playing with anything shiny.

### Mature Hatchling

Now grown into its large feet, the hatchling begins to hop and waddle with more confidence and energy. It also keeps trying to steal away anything shiny it can get its beak on.

### Adult

The Galagaloo, named after the call they make; is a very mischievous and clownish creature. Though they appear to be a type of wyvern, they are in fact closer related to avians; some saying that at rare times a feathered Galagaloo will be born. The Galagaloo prefers hopping and peculiar waddle walking instead of flight, and enjoys making noises at anything it finds curious (it will poke and pester what ever its 'curiosity' is towards, often times resulting in stealing any shinies it happens to have on it.) The Galagaloo is not picky with food, but seems to enjoy berries and fruits and various nuts. They tend to be medium in size, and are comparable to the size of an ostrich. They don't appear to have any magic capabilities, and seem to be about as intelligent as most higher intellect birds such as parrots and corvians . They do enjoy copying and mocking words and sounds.

(Valid or Val)

JinxVIII's forum avatar

## Pinecone

Jinxy Gryffi Junior

**JinxVIII** is a staff writer for Tales of Ostlea. She prefers to be called Val or Valid. [Shortened form of ValidEmotions.]

## General Background

Valid is of mixed descent - Mexican, Filipino, German, English, and who-knows-what-else-from-Europe. Just under 5 feet tall, she is a petite creature with glasses, dark hair, and maple eyes. She is a senior at a University in the United States, studying for a Bachelor's of Liberal Arts in English (Writing Specialization) and minoring in both Physics and Accounting. Her future career goal is to become a published author, focusing on works of fiction/fantasy.

## Relationships

Be warned, she might occasionally talk about him.

Friendships are weird for her; she more feels that her friends are those she talks to on the computer as she doesn't truly socialize with her peers in real life. She's working on this, trying to make friends at college and work. So far, it seems to partially be successful.

Hooded Draich

* Normal

###  Habitat

These hooded creatures prefer solitude in dark swamps and forests that surround graveyards, usually abandoned and left to deteriorate with the passage of time

###  Egg group

Large

The **Hooded Draich** is a holiday creature released on the 31st of October 2017, as part of the Halloween 2017 event alongside the Lich Warder.

## Descriptions

### Egg

This egg is oddly shaped as if someone took random shell pieces and glued them together.

### Hatchling

Something slithered out of the egg and scurried under a piece of tattered cloth you had lying around. You don't see it very often.

### Mature Hatchling

The creature comes out of hiding more often now but its face is obscured by a mane-like membrane. You swear you've caught a glimpse of glowing eyes.

### Adult

Hooded Draiches are nightmarish creatures. Serpentine in shape, decaying, and possessing tattered, skeletal wings, these beasts strike immense fear into any living thing that crosses their path. Only rumors are passed around as to the nature what their faces truly look like, as each has a stretch of a membrane that conceals their features. Though they are primarily scavengers, these monstrous beasts show no mercy to unfortunate individuals that fall prey to their hunger, and they will hesitate no longer than a mere second before hunting down terrified victims. Murmured through hushed whispers only, it is said that these abominations possess a magical item containing the soul of their previous lives before becoming a Hooded Draich, though many have perished in their pursuit to uncover the truth or retrieve such a rumored item. Some believe immensely powerful wizards can even create and control these fearsome fiends, but many dismiss this, much less dare to try.

King Irvin I

**King Irvin I** was the first ever King of Ostlea.

## Ascent to the throne

Shortly after its creation, Ostlea's first inhabitants formed a small council to rule the very new community. Not much is known about this time, but some generations later this council formed the foundation for the Ostlean government. The council, at this point mostly still friends and family of each other, chose the wisest among them to serve as the first ever king: Irvin Presor, who was crowned to be King Irvin I.

## Family

Not much is known about King Irvin I's direct family. He must have had at least one male heir, since he has a great-great-grandson: King Robin I. The council from which he was chosen had at least one family member.

* Pastel Plushie
* Toxic Rats

## Event items

* Rat Poison

The **March 2016 Seasonal Release** happened on the 2nd of March, 2016. It was a day late, having been intended to start on March 1st. Because of this, the end date for the seasonal was set at April 1st, instead of the expected March 31st.

The last of the Enchanted Plushie variations was released today, the Pastel Plushie. A potion for the Rats was also released, the Rat Poison, heralding the release of the Toxic Rat variations.

## Release Announcement

New discoveries have been made in the world of Ostlea!

The Enchanted Plushie’s final cousin has arrived in the Menagerie! Once again the eggs will be sold for 700 silver each and like the other holiday plushes they will be sold all month long and be removed on April 1st at 11:59 PM when they will disappear until next Easter! Get them while you can!

In other news there is a new item being stocked in the Apothecary! It seems some of the locals have been complaining about the recent infestation of rats in Ostlea, unfortunately for them these rats seem to be immune to their little solution, though it does cause some interesting changes… Hrm. I wonder how it'll affect breeding…

Gender Change Potion

**Gender change potions** are potion items which can be purchased from the Apothecary. During the Christmas 2015 event, a set of potions was given out as a promo code during the Christmas Countdown. The code is available until January 1st, 2016.

## Description

Using this potion on a creature will change its gender to male/female. Users beware, most creatures do not appreciate having such a change forced upon them.

## Effect

Gender change potions can only be given to adult creatures. It will change the gender of the creature to its opposite. Despite the warning in the description, there are no averse effects to using the potion.

## Trivia

The high price of the potions was set very deliberately to prevent over-usage. The warning in the description is also to deter from this. The preferred (and much cheaper) method of deciding a creature's gender, is by using a Nest.

On the inventory page, the potions are listed as 'Gender' items, a trait they share with the Nests. They can be considered potions, however,

Abhorrent Fox

**Abhorrent Foxes** were a creature obtainable in the 2017 Valentine Quest.

### Hatchling

A small grey fox emerged from the egg. The little hatchling seems to be quite hostile as it keeps hissing and snapping at you.

### Mature Hatchling

The fox has gained some purple hue to it but it is becoming more aggressive. It attacks the other hatchlings and is only less hostile to the other creatures of its kind.

### Adult

Abhorrent foxes are vile creatures who want nothing more than to create discontent wherever they find themselves. Although they are aggressive and hard to manage, they are really shy. If approached, an Abhorrent fox will lunge to bite. However, if pursued further, the fox will simply bristle its fur and then run away.
Abhorrent foxes are slightly larger than their Amorous counterparts and tend to have a sour odor. This odor attracts females, however, once the male and female have mated, they both abandon the egg in the Amorae Forest. The two tails of the Abhorrent foxes curl around each other. Some say this is because one tail is more functional than the other.

Moss Back Rabbit

The **Moss Back Rabbit** is a creature found in Elegema Forest. They were released alongside the Yena and the Ignilla Wyvern during the September 2016 Release.

## Descriptions

### Egg

You barely noticed this egg among the foliage.

### Hatchling

A small rabbit emerged from the egg! It isn't very active, and the green fur on its back feels strange to you.

### Mature Hatchling

The rabbit has grown larger and is much more active. The green fur on its back is much fuzzier than it was before, and... how strange, it looks like moss!

### Adult

Moss back rabbits are a common sight among the forests of Ostlea. The rabbits are very skittish, and will often flee at the first sight of anything larger than themselves. The moss that grows on the rabbits' backs is very hardy, but does require some care on the rabbits' part. If a rabbit is found with very little moss, it means that it is either very old or very young, as the backs of most adults are often covered completely. The moss aids the rabbits in camouflage, making them difficult to see when they hold still.
