Pine Vosmari (creature #1287)

Post by umbreon241 »

What's happening??? The creature counter went up and the number of presents under my tree increased by 5....

(Apologies if this thread is redundant.)

Five pine vosmari eggs can be found in your solstice presents.

As soon as the pine vosmari hatch, they head to the water. They remain there for weeks, exploring the lake and its shores. Once they are ready, the hatchlings venture out and eventually find their way to the magis. The hatchlings are sociable and easily grow attached to those who are kind to them. They will be happy to eat a head of lettuce if given, but their favorite food consists of pine cones. They will spend hours breaking apart the cones, savoring each part of them. As they are unable to climb trees, the tiny hatchlings will patiently wait for days near pines in hopes that a cone might fall. Always aware of their surroundings, the vosmari will retreat in their shells at the slightest sign of danger. Their shells offer protection from all predators, being nearly impossible to break. Even though they are small at such young ages, the vosmari grow rapidly. The tiny pines that grow on their shells become beautiful trees.

Closely related to the vosmari tortoise, the pine variant is just as impressive. They are friendlier and never shy away from spending time around children. Although the exact time of their origin is unknown, many speculate that the pine vosmari are younger than the other tortoise. Known to be wise and knowledgeable, the presence of pine vosmari at the Keep is seen as a great honor. Unlike their cousin tortoises, the pine vosmari like to spend their time in forests, lounging in the snow during wintertime. Some claim this is why their shells and the pines that grow on top of them are covered in snow all the time. However, the snow appears to be magical in nature, as it never melts when the vosmari are in warm places inside the Keep. During summertime, the snow vanishes and the pines become a vibrant green. The pine vosmari can often be found near the coldest lakes, deep in the woods. Just like the other vosmari, the pine ones do not form families. The eggs are buried near lakes and the hatchlings have to find their own way to the water. The eggs are brown in color, with small pine trees already growing from the shells. The trees grow at the same rate the vosmari do, and the larger the tortoise, the large the pine tree. Huge vosmari can grow more than one pine tree on their shells. The larger a vosmari grows, the more reluctant it is to interact with humans, in fear that its massive body could crush others.

I read in the wiki that the Vosmari and presents sprite was introduced in 2012, and after 9 years it's finally an actual creature! A surprise gift for sure, and I love it!
Happy new year! I hope 2024 will have so many great things waiting for you.

Really looking forward to the adults.
But why the update doesn't say if it will be breedable or not, and the event creatures for the matter either.
It probably will be breedable but would be nice to have confirmation.

How lovely, this is my first Solstice and I immediately fell in low with the drawing! Having this little creature as a reminder of all the kindness and generosity is really nice. :)
