Shro

The Shro has a thin, bipedal build with a mushroom on its head and mushrooms protruding from its back, their arms and legs appear to be made of wood while their claws are made of a hard, unknown material. This material can be assumed to be either Hardwood, Chitin, Keratin or an extremely strong unknown material. Their mushroom head resembles a sheriff's hat.

**Males**: Males appear to have a fur-like material on their chin.

• The Shro's behavior would be similar to a cat. The more comfortable it is around you, the friendlier it is. Essentially, imagine a shy cat but instead it's Shro.
• When it comes to packs, the average amount of Shros per pack is about 6-7, but in rare cases it can reach up to 10-11. Pack members are very playful and friendly towards each other and you can see them playing most of the time. Each pack has a "leader," it can either be male or female but it's usually a male since they're stronger. You can tell who's the leader just from the size and its duller colors (since it's the oldest out of all).
• Shro parents are very protective of their children. The father usually gathers the food while the mother stays at home to sit on and warm up the eggs. These roles could switch depending on the circumstances.
• A mother Shro lays 5-7 eggs per year, and they take 2 months to hatch.
• If you come close to a Shro's nest, you can see colorful flowers and a bunch of rocks around due to those being what the parents bring home as "toys" for their babies to play with.
• A Shro stays with its parents for as long as it wants, and if it wants to leave it's allowed to.
• A Shro's deadliness comes in the form of packs due to increase of poison.
• If a Shro is being attacked it will make a "danger/help" call, which can be heard kilometers away. Its pack members will come to help by screeching at the creature to intimidate it and by scattering a lot of toxic fumes around it, aiming for vulnerable parts such as the eyes. They can also take turns in pecking it (toxic bites mind you) so it can ensure pain upon the predator.

• The mother's poison gets stronger during her time of incubation.
• A baby Shro's mushroom hat is visually bigger than an adult Shro so the young can blend in with the environment more.

• Designed by @Yorevole in the Creatures of Sonaria Discord. The Shro didn't really have much inspiration, "only thing i took inspiration for this one was its 'hair' things that come out of its mushroom hat, other than that everything else was my add-ons. Shro was based off.. mushrooms yea." (Quoted by concept creator Yorevole)

• Due to its name sounding like "Shroom" (short for "Mushroom", another way to call the Shoom currency), sometimes it will be confused with Shooms.
• On June 18th, 2021, the Shro was moved from the Random Gacha, Herbivores Gacha, and Toxic Gacha to the Session Gacha. After Celeritas came out, it was moved back to the Herbivores Gacha, along with Gramoss.
• The Shro's were originally meant to change depending on what biome they were in. For example, if it's in the Tundra biome it would be white with a hint of blue. There's a rare variant of Shro that would have lived in volcanic areas. The Volcano Shro variant was originally meant to be a second palette.
