Adharcaiin

The Adharcaiin combines the features of a plushie and a cursed unicorn. It possesses small, dark buttons on its elbows, dark green coloration, and limp seaweed draped over its neck and tail. Some notable characteristics include seam lines, a glowing lantern and chains on its horn, and a torn torso revealing bones, suggesting possible injury or decay. Its green fabric hints at its prolonged existence in a swamp.

• The Adharcaiin lures its prey with its lantern before dragging it into the depths of the ocean. Then, it allows its victim to bleed out and asphyxiate. Once killed, the Adharcaiin feeds on the heart of the creature.
• The Adharcaiin is a mindless, droning creature whose intentions are mysterious and malicious.
• When it emerges from the murky depths of lakes and swamps, it stalks and murders creatures for fun. It generally lacks any hunger and feeds very rarely; most hunts are done simply out of boredom. It is a merciless hunter.
• Its long horn and cleft hooves are used to impale its targets. It features a large set of fangs on both the upper and lower jaw, while the rest of its teeth are large, crudely sharpened molars that look as if they were made to eat leaves.

• It is feared by most residents of Sonaria and is generally a very elusive and rare creature.
• It often hides in the deep oceanic kelp forests of Sonaria, where it awaits unsuspecting prey to come across its path. These kelp forests are extremely dense to the point that most light gets filtered out, leaving the depths and bases of the forest to be extremely dark.
• It does not seem to be of natural origin, featuring stitches and buttons along its body and wood-like ball joints that enable its movement. Its lantern glows eternally, producing a chilling screaming sound when the Adharcaiin is enraged.
• It is said that souls are held in the lantern-like container that hangs from its horn.

• Concept by malarkeii. When malarkeii was making the concept, it was going to be cuter but was later changed to appear more sinister. Adharcaiin's name is of Scottish-Gaelic origin. The first part, “Adharc”, means “horn”, while the third syllable, “-caiin”, is derived from the word “snàthainn”, which means “thread” (although it isn't completely the same as the real word). Adharcaiin is based on the kelpie, which originated in Scottish folklore. Originally, the kelpie is a shapeshifter creature that lures unsuspecting prey into the water and devours them, except for their liver. Adharcaiin bears similarity in the fact it is also a water horse that drowns its victims. Adharcaiin is additionally based on a ball-jointed doll; it is not intended to be metallic, and its joints are made of wooden material. All aspects of Adharcaiin are organic, except for the metal chains and lanterns that hang from it.
• Adharcaiin was previously obtainable through the Robux Gacha prior to its removal. It followed the Robux Gacha trend in the sense of being a plushie-doll creature like the other Gacha creatures at the time: Zoocuu, Fleuralis, and Rukig.
• The flame in the lantern was formerly unable to be colored. This was patched on 6/10/22.
• The Adharcaiin is one of the only creatures that kills for fun.
• The Adharcaiin formerly lacked the Unbreakable ability, and whether this was a mistake or not is unknown.
