@dragonii has been so kind as to make some fanart! Thanks so much! 😊

Species Name: Moxly
Animal Type: Musk Ox

About Moxly Eggs:

Moxly eggs are coated in a long, shaggy coat that protects them from the icy cold of outer space. When you see a shooting star fall, it might just be a Moxly egg that has come to Ark. They only hatch after being exposed to extreme force and heat. It is nearly impossible to force a Moxly egg to hatch by trying to replicate these harsh conditions.

About The Moxly Creature:

It is very important to treat your newly hatched Moxly calves well as they are very sensitive creatures. An anxious Moxly might develop digestive ailments within their four stomaches. Nervous calves may begin to chew off their thick hair which can lead to impactions and the development of bezoars. These hard, stone-like masses can quickly lead to the death of the poor Moxly. Historically, Moxly bezoars were used as charms to ward against evil and in traditional medicine. But these days, the practice has been outlawed to protect these creatures from nefarious owners who might try to harm them to create bezoars for profit. Further, the Science and Research Center found that there was no clinical benefit to ingesting them. They also smelled very bad so only the truly desperate would try to consume them. These days, Moxly are rare but beautiful sights at local fairs and events. Their deep-blue coats make the best fabric that is soft and can keep you warm even when wet.

More Info:

The first artwork I made of the Moxly was way back in 2013. Recently, I decided to redraw it and add some more exciting elements. I haven't been back here for long, so I'm still finding new to me creatures every day. I hope my old Moxly idea doesn't look too similar to a currently existing creature. Either way, I'm excited to be able to resubmit this old idea after improving it. My birthday is in January, so I'd love it if it was released that month if this idea is selected. Thank you Egg Cave team and artists for keeping this site alive!

This creature looks gorgeous and very huggable at the same time! I think it would be a very nice addition to Eggcave 😊

It's very cute and I love the colors! It reminds me of some of the other constellation creatures they did that seem like they were a hit so I am sure this would be super popular. I think the ox is a really awesome choice, I haven't seen any of those around here!!

@nenielsen The design made me think of late 2012-early 2013 era eggcave creatures and I just had to draw it that way! I love the design so much!

I'm so honored, you can 1000% put it up there!

@dragonii 2012-2013 was when I was most active on Egg Cave many years ago! It's so cool that this shows up in my creature design.

Thank you very much for the fanart! Maybe this will help my creature get chosen. 😃 Also, more creature suggestions coming soon.

@nenielsen that was may favorite era of eggcave. The art is still a huge inspiration for me haha.

I really hope it becomes a real eggcave creature, because I’d love to have it in my cove!

I’m so excited to see what else you come up with!
