Blossomtail

Welcome to Eldergrove, Researcher. You were sent by the Academy to research and document the magical creatures in and around Eldergrove: #068 - BLOSSOMTAIL Type: Nature / Spirit Habitat: The Entire Eldergrove (Nomadic / Seasonal) Size: 4.5–5.5 feet (Excluding tail) Rarity: LEGENDARY APPEARANCE: Blossomtail is the living embodiment of flora. Its green and white fur smells faintly of jasmine and fresh earth. The flowers on its body are not merely decorative; they are an extension of its life force and will wilt if the Eldergrove’s magic is tainted, only to bloom brighter when balance is restored. BEHAVIOR: Like its counterpart, it is a solitary and nomadic wanderer. It appears only when Frostail’s work is done, following an ancient, unseen schedule. It is a benevolent but distant entity, its sole purpose to ignite the cycle of regrowth. ABILITY: Spring’s Awakening. The air around Blossomtail instantly warms to a balmy temperature. Its touch causes seeds to sprout, buds to open into full bloom, and frozen ground to become fertile soil in seconds. HABITAT & DIET: It has no permanent den, roaming the entirety of the grove to ensure every corner feels the touch of spring. It is sustained by the raw, life-giving magic of the forest. LORE: Blossomtail is an ancient primordial spirit, as old as the Eldergrove itself. While humans in Eldertown have only seen it a handful of times in a century, the Warden speaks of it as the "Breath of the Heart." It represents the forest's eternal stubbornness—the refusal of life to stay dormant under the ice. It is the cosmic twin to Frostail; where one brings the necessary sleep of winter, the other brings the inevitable awakening of spring. They have performed this dance for millennia, maintaining the balance of the grove long before the first stone of Eldertown was laid.
