Price History
The Varskela is a territorial and hyper-aggressive beast. It uses its large dense icicles protruding from its neck and back as armor, and the icicles on its limbs to cut through its attackers. The Varksela maintains its sub-zero armor by living in glacial caves which drip water onto its coat to then freeze instantly. Concept by icecreamNavacodo.

It has large tusks, two sets of eyes, and round ears. Icy spikes can be found covering many areas of the Varskela's body, including its head, its neck and back, the elbows of its large forearms, and its rump. It has a mid-sized tail with fluff and ice spikes at its tip. **Males**: Males have a pair of large, curved horns on their head. Males have a pair of large, curved horns on their head. **Females**: Females have three floating diamond-shaped head pieces. Females have three floating diamond-shaped head pieces.
Behavior
- The Varskela likes to find un-opened geodes and will let their children gnaw on it till it cracks and shows the crystals inside (just for fun).
Trivia
- Concept by Shugalio_333. The Varskela was inspired by "Naut's prompt for a winter creature with back arms and a purple, blue quartz crystal." (Quoted by concept creator) The crystal in question appears to be an unwatermarked version of a photograph by the photographer Geoff Tompkinson. The Varskela was originally named "Crinstaly", but this was changed.
- Modeled by JaxonBirb.
- Varskela's price was accidentally set to 7,000 bells and later set to 5,000 bells within slightly less than an hour of the release of Part 2 of the Winter Event of 2021-2022. The change was released in a soft patch, meaning it would only appear in newly-populated servers post-patch at the time and not in older servers.
- On the day of Varskela's release, it had a skin coloring bug which caused the player to spawn in-game with most of the customized skin reverting back to the default color version. This bug was fixed in a soft patch on the same day.
- Varskela's primary palette is quite similar to Jotunhel's second color palette, albeit the hex codes are not identical and don't follow the same order.
- The creature used to lack the Winter Tag on Legacy, a feature most winter-inspired creatures had that granted them immunity to the Winter and Famine's icy winds. The developers confirmed this was intentional. However, due to high player demand, it eventually received it in the update the Yohsog and Tundrik were released.
- Varskela is nicknamed "Varsk" and often described as "Crystal thing with arms".
