༺Introduction to Non-Native Mobs༻

In the world of Arco Iris, many mobs strive together, including many with Non-Native origin who have taken on a different lifestyle accustomed to their new home.

༺Mistwalker༻

Elusive and mysterious, some say even coming across one can be a sign of good fortune or impending disaster. A Mistwalker is said to exist within Misty Passage but with no exact location as to where. For those lucky enough to challenge it say it expels fog to cloak its swift attacks and make a quick recovery from blows. Yet, only for a few mere minutes before making a quick departure from the fight, never to be seen again.

Old tales mention a close relative of the Mistwalker with a reverse behavior and far more aggressive lifestyle.

༺Dragon Lantern/Lantern Dragon༻

A manifestation brought to life with good intentions, the Lantern Dragon glows with vigor. A Lantern Dragon calls the Lustrous Reign its domain where it soars freely among old broken structures of the past as it gives off its own radiance to inspire others. When making an acquaintance with one, they are polite and sociable, even offering goods and luck to those who are friendly towards them.

With great mobility and flexibility, a Lantern Dragon is very much capable in a fight, using explosive incendiary ranged attacks as their second tactic. They are usually accompanied by a flock of Dragon Lanterns who have manifested with the same purpose as a Lantern Dragon, they can be a nuisance.

Old tales speak of another manifestation made from the same rituals but of another time, with a more rogue and deadlier behavior.

༺Grove Treant༻

Docile and goliath, Grove Treants rejuvenate the earth below their feet. Grove Treants are permanently settled in Tranquil Orchard and refuse to travel past this area. Grove Treants will tend to the local fauna and foliage within the area, including the diverse foliage on their own bodies each individual has. Many have noticed a stone protruding from either shoulder with carvings drawn into them, for what purpose is unknown, some say those carvings represent a Grove Treants most treasured memory.

Despite their calm natures, they are capable of defending themselves and those alongside them, able to summon abilities that slow, poison and even force sleep on anyone.

Old tales speak of another closer relative that was far smaller and neutral.

༺Blossom Raised Rex/Blossom Raptor༻

Strong and prospering, a Blossom Raised Rex brings a soothing sweet aroma in the wind while offering a view of beauty and strength. Many Blossom Raised Rex roam the land of Blooming Vale, both wild and domesticated with diverse species of flowers on their horns for each individual. Many are seen helping with towing farmlands and transferring goods across Arco Iris, being one common way of travel thanks to their good build and endurance.

Blossom Raptors on the other hand are very common and are troublesome, yet can be tamed and trained to be more respectable, there many with diverse patterns and flowers adorned onto their bodies. You will most often see them near locations where food is accessible to all.

With a strong body and stamina, a Blossom Raised Rex isn't afraid of charging into things with its durable horns and using their powerful jaws to bite down with great force. Blossom Raptors on the other hand attack in large groups and can easily outnumber anyone.

Old tales speak of the Blossom Raised Rex place of origin where they've come from another realm with a more feral, vicious nature.

*Aaa I'm sorry that this took a while longer to post! And many apologies if I messed up with some wording too, I hope you all enjoy the lore for these mobs, will be making more and hopefully start making lore posts for my characters too QvO*

Claude the Manticore Lantern Dragon

I haven't been posting too much lately, but we have a big project in the works that is going to begin unfolding soon, so hold tight for that!  In the meantime, I did a practice painting for a friend of mine of her character Claud, owned by CFerretRun. He is a Lantern Dragon themed after a Manticore. (More info about Lantern Dragons [ here ])

Some new journal entry of my Ark inspired OC Jamie with a portrait of himself and some little picture of Tara. Here Jamie encountered some strange man he did not have much sympathy for. Base coloring, still needs shading. Journal Text: I didn't like it. It sounded sick and above all it reminded me of things I have read. In holy wars where people had acted similarly, people who believed they had to slaughter or convert everyone else, who believed in something else just because they thought their own faith was the only right one and even if Arthur believed in, that these things saved his world, was it really a paradise or was he just imagining it? Had he been raised to believe that everything was as wonderful as he thought? I doubted it, because there was no true paradise. There was allways a price to pay, nothing that was perfect, not even my world is and in my world there is no superior beeing, only an AI that had decided to help those who tried to make the world a better one, but even of them, none was "pure". Every human, every living thing had its dark sides, even me, because without those sides there would be no good, without light, there would be no shadow, and faith was something that should not be forced on anyone. It is something individual that should be left open to everyone. "These things are disgusting, hypocrite assholes." I answered coldly, a tone you wouldn't expect from me, just as my the choice of words. "They think they're better than deviant bastards like Clint, when they're no better. They are just as disgusting and immoral as he is. They are even worse because they slaughter what they think is bad, what they define as bad, and take it upon themselves to judge everything and use deviant methods to condemn. I hope this individuals vanish. Your paradise is not one, it is a golden cage in which you are made to believe into their lies, lies in which they pretend that everything is for the best of humanity. In reality it is only the best for them." I would have loved to punch this spiv in the face, cause his words triggered a cold rage in me similar to the one I had felt towards Clint. This eyewashing and stupid drivel full of lies is something I despise deep in my heart and it showes a side of the me that was rarely seen and that many would not expect. I pressed tightly against Santiago, who pulled me closer. Someone like the dark haired Spaniard wouldn't stand a chance with these individuals. No one who was off the grid would have, and in the end, this people were just a bunch of hypocrite apes playing God.
