About the Stonehare:
The Stonehare is a gentle creature, yet as it matures, you'll realize how durable the small fellow can be! Clay begins as a soft, squishy substance. After the clay dries and is fired with pottery glazes decorating it, it creates a glass-like surface that provides strength and beauty!
Stonehares are often found hiding in flower fields, disguised well enough to catch a nice nap in the warm sun. They are a community based creature and are very friendly. You might just find more than one together!

Stonehare Egg:
Stonehare eggs look like a lump of naturally found clay, allowing it to stay hidden from predators and to protect the soft, malleable creature. Buried in a rabbit's nest, it's the perfect hiding spot!

Notes and Important information:
Clay has been used for centuries to create long lasting and sturdy items throughout history; art, tools, jewelry, and dishes! Most ceramic dish sets are reffered to as 'Stoneware', therefore inspiring the name for this creature. The orange-ish color the raw clay was an attempt to look more "terra cotta" instead of "chocolate bunny". (side note: I'm not the best at drawing realistic creatures, I think a realistic rabbit would like way better than a flat 2-D design If this design in chosen, I'm hopeful the egg cave artists can make it look great!!)

@shelbert67 oh my goodness I love this! Clay and sculpture are just delightful so I'd love to see a creature celebrating that. The colours are so pretty and I love the yellow you used!

SO SO CUTE!! love the description of the whole pottery process and those additional notes! very cool to learn about ❤️

This is a very interesting idea, and eggcave already has a pet that's basically a chocolate rabbit that slowly melts, so a basically magic sculpture bunny seems within the magic of the world.

@prairie tysm!!! ❤️

@ashlinnhi ty!!! maybe we'll see it come to life 😊

@shelbert67 bnuuy ❤️ I love the pottery idea, very interesting! Maybe the newly hatched stage could have the hints of starting details, like ears or paws, but either way we end up with a sweet bunny so I can't complain!!

This seems a very cute idea, but it may have been made a little late in the year.
