Introducing: the Melosaur!!

Welcome the Melosaur!:
These creatures are prominent in the farming and gardening districts of Ark during the summer! Melosaurs are in fact: gourds! They don't need much food aside from sunlight and water, and as they mature they need less of those resources to thrive. Young Melosaurs are tender and prone to being bruised, as their outer layer hasn't developed yet. As Melosaurs grow, they get a harder exterior that helps them maintain liquid and protect themselves.

Melosaur Eggs:
Melosaur eggs are grown vs laid, and can easily be grown in your own garden! All you need is a seed horn from a mature Melosaur. Like most gourds, Melosaur eggs can in fact be eaten if separated from the vine early on. For a Melosaur egg to turn into a creature; it must remain on the vine to completion and ripen on the vine. From there, a Melosaur egg can be sliced open and produce up to 6 Melosaur hatchlings per egg!

I love how the baby stage has tiny little arms and horns. I would be real tempted to pay 500cc for the little guys and possibly freeze it, but I like the later stages too.

@prairie It's okay, I would tie his shoes for himmm ahhhhhhh
Also would really love to see this come with fundraising for PCRF. It would be a little icky without, considering. It was always nice when earth day creatures were used for fundraising, I know we've talked about how that was a cool initiative before. @ian

Getting some suggestions active for 2025!!
This might be a fun Summer creature, or perhaps if there's a fruits & veggie theme.
