The Marshmiaowlo: Anytime Creature suggestion

Hello! This is my second creature suggestion! I've actually doodled and played around quite a lot with this little guy, and finally decided to try and have it be a creature here!

Habitat: CANDYLAND!!! (there NEEDS to be a candyland, but I guess maybe Grasslands?)

Height: 0.354 meters

Weight: 0.222222 meters


Egg description:
It is not uncommon for campers to bring marshmallows on a camping trip. What's not to like? But occasionally, after pulling a burnt marshmallow out of the fire, a Marshmiaowlo is born. You're about to take a bite, when, something moves. Is it a tail? Marshmiaowlo eggs are surprisingly speedy, so if you notice legs and a tail on your Marshmallow, don't try to eat it! Instead, place the egg back into the fire, to comfort the baby Marshmiaowlo, and ensure that it hatches safely.

Creature description:
Awwww, so cute! That is what many Arkians say upon their first look. But don't be fooled. If the Marshmiaowlo wasn't introduced to humans as an egg, their attitude towards them is quite hostile. Often, travelers make the mistake of reaching out and petting a Marshmiaowlo. Instantly, they are set upon by the Marshmiaowlo's family. Often the survivors of these deadly attacks have more than scratches and cuts. But a tame Marshmiaowlo, that's something almost completely different! When tamed, they are quite friendly and curious. Oftentimes, a Marshmiaowlo follows their owner everywhere, purring and smiling the entire way. In fact, even wild Marshmewlo are quite friendly towards each other. It is just extremely rare for people to see this.
They travel in groups, which often consist of a Marshmiaowlo's family. The reason is that, because the it doesn't have any hips to speak of, it is extremely easy to get stuck in a sitting position. When stuck this way, Marshmiaowlo are very vulnerable to predators. When this happens, a member of their group will come over and push the Marshmiaowlo back onto it's feet.
As an egg, Marshmiaowlo are quite small, about the size of your average marshmallow. But they quickly grow, and soon their color changes, too. As an adult, they are the color of powdered sugar.
Marshmiaowlo may be a rough creature to deal with at first, but once one trusts you, it will be the loyalest companion you have ever known.




I hope you enjoy the Marshmiaowlo!
