## Official Description

### Egg

This Egg has large red spots on its sides.

### Adult

It is a Fruit Dragon that lives in the forest and exudes the scent of apples.

It likes to roam alone and is quick and intelligent. It mainly eat plants as their staple food, but its favorite is apples. It always carries apples for emergency food and is easy to find in places with apple trees or orchards. Because of Applecheek's characteristic of eating only delicious apples, farm owners who suffered from apple frost advertise that fact and increase the sale of apples.

Some Applecheek's even change their fur when apples are in season. It is known that its fur may turn red or darken according to the color of the apple, and is affected by apple season.

## Story

### Love of Apples

Applecheek was wandering the Forest of Hope looking for apples. It couldn't find any apples even after wandering around for a long time, as they were probably taken by other Applecheek.

As the sun went down, it passed through the grass and reached an apple orchard in a village. The apples in the orchard weren’t very tasty, but with a little more effort, they seemed to be delicious. Applecheek fell asleep holding a bunch of apples from the tree and hugging them.

The next morning, the owner of the apple orchard yelled at Applecheek for all the apples it had plucked, and Applecheek ran away in surprise. As Applecheek ran away, the apples it was holding fell to the floor.

The devastated orchard owner suddenly noticed something strange while picking up the apples. The color of the apples were strangely different. The orchard owner took a bite of the apple. It was the sweetest, crunchiest apple the orchard owner had ever eaten.

## Evolution

### Egg

The egg has red cheeks on both sides and green fur on top of it. The green fur is soft to touch, but it's best not to touch it often. The eggshell is not hard and it’s slightly fluffy. If you get shocked, you should be careful because you’ll become weak and sick. The egg smells as sweet as an apple, and the scent gets stronger as gets close to hatching.

### Hatch

The red blush pattern on its cheeks stands out. The color of the tip of its head is different color compared to its face and its tail. It has no wings and its tail is short compared to its body. It likes to carry apples and does not eat them, and cherishes them very much. If you try to take the apple, it becomes very ferocious. It walks around until it finds an apple it like. It is often found under apple trees, and will wander around the fallen apples to pick one. In most cases, the apples it cherishes ends up rotting without being eaten.

### Hatchling

It sprouts small wings and likes apples just like when it hatched. Its claws grow quickly and file its claws on rocks or trees. It doesn’t like to see its apples damaged, so when it find an apple, it check its claws first. While hatches search for apples on the ground, hatchlings fly into the sky to find apples. It can easily pick apples from tall trees.

### Adult

Its wings become as large as its body, and the color of its wings becomes clearer. The color of its elbow changes and long hairs appear here and there. When Applecheek becomes an adult, it loves apple trees beyond any fruit. There are times when it wanders around looking for apple trees and bestows blessings on dying trees. It is said that an apple tree blessed by Applecheek will bear only delicious apples without rotting for the rest of its life.

Applecheek's chest hair is said to be able to hold many apples. It acts as a kind of pouch, so it is a space where Applecheek can hold emergency food. Applecheeks who are close to each other often share delicious apples, and it is said that even a tasteless apple will become delicious if it is held by an Applecheek.

## Obtainment

The Fall Appearance of Applecheek is obtained by growing a hatchling into an adult during the fall season. It is not determined by the obtainment date of the egg form.

An Applecheek evolved during any other time of year will be of the Basic Appearance.
