Vineswine

Welcome to Eldergrove, Researcher. You were sent by the Academy to research and document the magical creatures in and around Eldergrove: #107 VINESWINE Type: Plant / Beast Habitat: Farm Orchards & Eldergrove Edges Size: 1.1–1.3 feet (Height) Rarity: Uncommon APPEARANCE: A cheerful piglet with smooth, moss-green skin. Its body is naturally entwined with living grapevines that grow directly from its hide, bearing lush green leaves and clusters of incredibly sweet purple and green grapes. It has bright green eyes and a curly vine for a tail. BEHAVIOR: Exceptionally curious and social, Vineswines are the most adventurous of the elemental piglets. They are known "escape artists," frequently slipping through fences to forage for rare herbs and play with wild Isimon at the edge of the Eldergrove. ABILITY: Sweet Harvest. Vineswine can accelerate the growth of its grapes, offering them to others. These grapes have magical restorative properties, healing minor ailments and immediately fostering a bond of friendship with those who eat them. HABITAT & DIET: While based at the elemental pig farm near Sage's land, they spend much of their time in sun-dappled glades. Their diet is diverse, consisting of standard farm feed supplemented by high-mana herbs found deep in the forest. LORE: Legend says the first Vineswine was a regular piglet that fell asleep in a basket of enchanted grapes. Now, they are seen as guardians of the forest's bounty, ensuring that travelers who respect the Grove never go hungry. TEMPERAMENT: Joyful, generous, and bold. They are not easily startled and will often approach humans with a wagging vine-tail, offering a cluster of fruit as a greeting. ACTIVITY: Diurnal (Most active while the sun is high and the forest herbs are most fragrant).
