Trutholbyeva

The Trutholbyeva is a hexapedal (albeit only four of them are properly used for walking), two-headed creature with curled, spiked protrusions from its lips. Each of the creature's heads has one row of eyes, situated on the 'outer' side of its head (left head has eye rows on its left side, and the right head has eye rows on its right side). The creature has 2 pairs of serrated wings, a set of mantid-like arms beneath its forelegs, and a thick, clubbed tail.

**Males**: Males have additional spines along their neck and chest.

• Trutholbyeva commonly befriend other species, and are almost entirely docile unless attacked or if another critter eats their food.
• The taste of too much blood drives Trutholbyeva into a frenzied state, which usually ends in a death induced by recklessness.
• Trutholbyeva are highly aggressive at night, and will usually wander anywhere on land.
• Trutholbyeva parents take extreme care of their young, protecting them to the death from any predator.
• Trutholbyeva prefer to travel alone or in medium-sized family groups of up to 7. However during the day, they gather in large caves by the hundreds, and hang on the ceiling, walls, and floor until night returns.
• Trutholbyevas have two heads, however only one head has a brain. The other head works more as an extra limb.
• The front head spikes, often confused as teeth, are used to ram into enemies. This usually causes them to then get stuck in an opponents body, and when this happens they are extremely hard to pull out and cause heavy bleeding to the opponent.
• Trutholbyevas can fly, but it's usually to relocate to new food areas, escaping danger too strong to fight, or to ambush trespassers near their cave.
• Disabled and elderly Trutholbyevas stay in caves and forests, and are cared for by younger generations.
• Photovores are very commonly kept as pets in colonies.

• Trutholbyevas are adapted to eat plants, however can still eat meat due to their ancestors' omnivorous traits it needed to survive in deep sea caves.
• Trutholbyevas can be born with one head due to genetics, although this is rarer than the two headed variant.
• Trutholbyeva who experience the Dazzling Flash on them will go permanently blind.

• CatboyNathann created Trutholbyeva to be their developer creature because they like things that aren't what they seem, hence the fact that it is an herbivore despite its carnivorous appearance. Trutholbyeva's design is based on the inaccurate reconstructions of Helicoprion (a prehistoric cartilaginous fish that lived during the Permian period), whip scorpions, and lobsters.
• Redesign by TyrantDinosaur889 on the Creatures of Sonaria Discord. Redesigned model released on 11/26/2021.
• Modeled and animated by Nathan. Erythia helped with finalizing animations.
• Trutholbyeva borrows aggro sounds from the Aolenus into friendly sounds; it also borrows Pero's aggro sound with some changes.
• Trutholbyeva has had the most remodels of any Developer Creature, or any creature in general. The Trutholbyeva Remodel V2 was scrapped as Nathan did not like the appearance, and Nathan confirmed the Trutholbyeva would get a full anatomy change in V3. The first 'remodel' is scrapped but the model itself will be publicly available for use. Pre-redesign Trutholbyeva had purple/violet blood. In real life, the change in color is caused by hemerythrin, a respiratory pigment of a purplish/violet color once oxygenated, replacing hemoglobin in several invertebrates. The current redesign lacks purple blood and instead has the default red blood. Pre-remodel had the third highest bleed (13) at the time, with the Magnarothus having the highest bleed of 20, and Syroudon having the second-highest bleed of 15, and had the highest bleed out of all the herbivores in-game. With the remodel, it has been lowered to 6. Pre-remodel Trutholbyeva could use its animations to stay still on top of lava without taking damage. The remodel is incapable of doing so.
• Trutholbyeva's Developer tag was removed when its remodel got released. Later, on March 2022, its tag got added once again, despite its dev being retired. Even so, it could still only be purchased in the Developer Creatures Shop for 300 Robux. Trutholbyeva permanently lost its developer creature condition and become a Robux Shop creature on October 28, 2022, keeping its price of 300 Robux. It took twice as long to incubate an egg in a nest due to its status as a developer creature.
• The remodel is the first confirmed creature to possess two heads, as well as one of the first three creatures that possess more than one head along with Sar'Hingaro/Ahri'Tahmuk and Cavengauu.
• Trutholbyeva had planned an ability known as life leech/body decay, which would “steal x amount of health” from a target and “gain 1.2-2 x health” when applied. It was also stated that health gained should always be higher than damage inflicted. Finally the Trutholbyeva gained this ability on the same update it lost its developer creature tag.
• There is a UGC item for this creature, made by TamBrush, called Trutholbyeva Wings, which is purchasable for 120 Robux.
• The Trutholbyeva is one of the only creatures to not move its head when looking at something; the same happens to Kavouradis.
