Hyboria

The Hyboria is a quadrupedal, sauropod-like creature with a long neck and tail and some artificial-looking plate features throughout its body, more prominently on its neck, legs, shoulder, and back. Square-shaped spikes extend from those plates on its neck and tail, and a nicked spiral shape pattern can be found on the plates at its shoulders and legs. Flowery fur-like spikes adorn its head, neck, shoulders, legs, thighs, and the tip of its tail. Two horns extend from the top of its head and end past the Hyboria's mouth.

• Hyboria are large stone machines made from an unknown race, being gentle giants made of stone and flowers. They’re built to spread large quantities of seeds across dying lands, dropping seeds from their horns and use something similar to magic to make them grow. The Hyboria carry various trees and plants native to an ecosystem.
• Hyboria are surprisingly light despite being completely made of rock.
• The horns and head of a Hyboria are hollow in order to carry seeds. "No thoughts, head empty <3" (Quoted by Xhosa).
• Hyboria can reach speeds up to 45 MPH and can run for hours before needing a break to sit down and charge.
• Hyboria are often oblivious to the creatures around them, they're programmed to just plant and grow but sometimes they stop directly over creatures to provide shade or shelter. Despite being programmed to ignore, they somehow avoid or step over creatures in their paths. This is mostly due to their size and long legs though.
• Hyboria start in large, tightly packed groups and slowly fan out to cover more ground, coming back around in large diamond-like shapes to meet in the middle.
• During the day, Hyboria are active and move around constantly, and once the sun sets below the horizon they slow down and stop in place, still standing, waiting for the sun to rise again.
• Hyboria can be found everywhere, even in the desert around oasis.
• Being so large and made of stone, they aren't a target for predators and often have trails of both herbivores and carnivores behind them. The herbivores eat the magically grown plants, and the carnivores stalk the herbivores.

• Concept by Xhosa_Onkai in the Creatures of Sonaria Discord. Inspired by cherry blossoms, stone pillars, gold, giraffes, and the Tallneck from Horizon: Zero Dawn.
• Hyboria has pink blood. Due to this, it drops a pink carcass in Legacy after dying. While in real life purple-violet blood exists due to hemerythrin — a respiratory pigment of a purplish/violet color once oxygenated, which replaces hemoglobin in several invertebrates — this specific shade of pink is not seen.
• Hyboria had the highest price in the event shop during part 1 of 2024 Valentines Event.
