NEW CRITTERS in the stream - 909 and 910

[Kiwi329]

Ooh, new creatures! I can't wait to see the adults. The hatchlings are adorbs.

[Zoa]

Need more cowbell...
I bovines!

[Rosehill]

I don't think we've ever significantly altered an already-released creature? I think a couple old ones have had their shading adjusted, but a complete change of coloration would drive folks nuts.

Well, there could be a first time for everything
Not saying it'd never happen, sure it'd be strange but you know, open mind and I couldn't just not include that thought when my head had it

If we'd ever come to a situation where we'd need to, for whatever reason, to change existing sprites, it would be done with proper advance warning, not just replacing existing stuff in the stealth of the night.

I imagine the rage would be epic if people grabbed a "new" egg from the stream and found it was something years old.

Got some male hatchies, there is no dimorphism in hatchling stage C: They are all very cute and fluffy

Adult Bootherium: (No dimorphism)



Although they are just as gentle as their ovibos cousins, bootherium oxen are often considered to have more dangerous powers. Their trips into the past can last days, the longest recorded with a magi towed along reaching nearly four months. The oxen have no need for food while they are in the past, but a magi must be fed and cared for when travelling at their side. They always return, and should a magi become too malnourished, their bootherium will take them out of the vision. In these deep dreams, magi can walk among ancient people and see their lives as they were in the past. This power reaches back to the dawn of time, and the bootherium can access any moment in any place. Avid scholars will set up lengthy trips to spend time in the past, and lucky students are occasionally taken for treks lasting a day or two. Should a magi become separated from their bootherium while in a vision, however, they will not be able to be awoken until the bootherium finds them. This is where the danger lies in such trips, but the bootherium are attentive and a magi is rarely out of site for more than a few seconds before their companion comes running up to them.

Adult Obivos: (No dimorphism)



Ovibos oxen are typically gentle animals, especially toward humans, and they seem to love to teach. Instructors often use ovibos to supplement their lessons, encouraging the oxen to show students ancient worlds and historic events without endangering them. Their cousins, the more powerful bootherium, are used by instructors themselves, as the silver oxen can allow a magi to become immersed in a world for days on end. Most ovibos visions last only a few seconds to a few minutes, ideal for brief demonstrations. The powers of ovibos are considered less dangerous than those of bootherium, for with ovibos, there is no risk of becoming trapped for lengthy periods of time in the vision. Their gentle natures and patient demeanor make these oxen good teaching companions for all ages, though their size means they don’t fit easily through the winding passages of most Keep stairwells. Classes featuring ovibos are usually held outdoors.
