Appearance

Morinus is a bulky, bovid creature covered in thick fur, sprouting in large tufts from its legs, ears, tail (at the base and at a tuft towards the end), either side of its face, and most notably, its entire neck, which is completely covered in a thick mane. Its head is adorned by several gnarled, twisted horns, the smallest of which form a row of three along its snout. Morinus has two larger pairs on the sides of its skull, the bigger of which are pronged towards the base. Its head also features a long, pointed chin, large cattle-like ears, and two pairs of sharp growths on its upper jaw which resemble huge teeth. Its actual teeth are small and flat, and its eyes have slit, horizontal pupils. Additional spines run down its back and tail, as well as two parallel rows which emerge from its sides. Its tail is short and thin, which contrasts its sturdy body. Each of Morinus' four legs have four-toed feet. Only three of these digits are weight-bearing and end in pointed, but otherwise blunt hooves. The last inner toe ends with a dew claw, which points downwards on the front feet and upwards on the back. Alongside its fur, much of Morinus' body is also covered in scales, which gives in an appearance reminiscent of a mythological qilin. These scales appear on all of its limbs, as well as its sides and underbelly. By default, the creature is a dark, almost black, navy gray-blue, with white and light gray. **Males**: Males have longer horns that resemble those of a deer.

Behavior

• Morinus are very aggressive protectors of their territories and will attack everything in it, even if the opposing creature is much bigger than them.
• Morinus never leave the cold biomes which they inhabit, as they are susceptible to overheat, making them vulnerable to carnivores. They will dig deep holes in the snow for their cubs.
• Groups will form during cold winters to help one another survive. Once the winter ends, these packs dissolve.
• Morinus makes simple goat sounds.
• Morinus can scale any surface.

Trivia

• Concept by Laura! on the Creatures of Sonaria Discord.
• Modeled by Erythia.
• Morinus was originally a Tier 2 creature, but was soon changed to a Tier 3.
• Morinus was once a semi-aquatic creature, but was later changed to become a land creature. This was originally an accident. Nevertheless, even as a terrestrial creature, and until the 3rd week of Winter Event 2021-2022, their stamina didn't regenerate but never dropped underwater, allowing for extended periods of submarine exploring. However, like Minawii-type semiaquatics, if you remained too long underwater without touching the water surface (around 12 minutes in this case), you would get a "You need to breathe! Go to the surface" message and started taking damage faster than the typical "you're out of stamina and drowning" damage.
