Some guardians roar, others simply endure. Creature #12 of the Creaturepedia is the Mossmane (Equus viridalis) — a regal forest-dwelling hybrid that resembles a great lion, its mane and coat woven with moss, vines, and living greenery. Its emerald eyes glimmer in dim woodland light, carrying the quiet wisdom of ancient groves.
When still, the Mossmane blends seamlessly with undergrowth, often mistaken for a moss-covered statue guarding forgotten paths. Legends say it embodies the balance of growth and decay, a living emblem of forests that remember and renew themselves over centuries.
