Spring/Winter Creature Suggestion: The Momiji

Months: February to June
This is aimed to be either a Cave monthly, or Cash Shop creature.

About the Egg:
Momiji eggs can only be found when spring dawns, and the first sakuras bloom. Cherry blossoms grow on their sleek, silky pink and white fur, seeming to move slightly even when if there is no breeze nor movement. Yet the egg is strangely silent, and many times it seems almost dead, if not for the ears, which always seem pricked and alert, twitching from time to time. A small crack winds its way up from the bottom, but never seems to get bigger, although it appears to change its path every day.

About the Creature:
The Momiji is a sakura fox creature that resides in the more northern parts of Ark, hibernating throughout summer, autumn, and most of winter, only awakening just before the flowers bloom, when small green buds are still pushing their way up from the snow-covered ground. Their small white paws never make a sound on the ground, strawberry-red eyes always watchful and aware. They are quiet, not ones to mewl or yip, and they always seem calm and composed. That is, unless, you offer them cotton candy-

Momiji have long lifespans, around 100 to 200 years. This being said, it is quite rare to see a Momiji die(unless it gets hit by a car or something). You'll know when it does because it will look you straight in the eye, and the cherry blossoms that flower their pelt will suddenly overwhelm them, their body, legs, head. The last thing you see will be their gaze, and then, they collapse into a hundred sakura petals. They, soon, disappear too. Nothing is left. What's done is done.

Hope you enjoyed ^ ^ Please feel free to ping friends! And check out my other creature suggestion, the Lunii!

Thanks for the ping @megamisama90! I love your design, @amberwater! I would personally prefer the creature without the bow at the base of the tail, but that's just me. Hope they pick this one! 😊💕
