Profile

In the depths of a cavern lit only by a small Lumendra explorer... was a stark white Smorkip, sticking out amongst the dark blue stone walls. They were instinctively trying to hide by curling around a dripstone, but to no avail as the explorer noticed the large white blob and approached.

Upon closer inspection, they appeared malnourished and bewildered as a stale open wound around their neck oozed clear pus. Patches of dirt and dried blood were embedded in the Smorkip's mane as they lay on their side, their half-closed eyes emitting a light mist. The Lumendra was surprised to see such a majestic creature in this state. It seems like they're paying the price for escaping a poacher's trap, but the explorer couldn't bare to see such a beautiful creature suffering like this!

Reaching into their pouch, they pulled out various types of fruits and snacks as well as First AID supplies. After opened packets and peeled fruit skins, the explorer slipped it all near the Smorkip's muzzle as a peace offering. The Smorkip was hesitant to accept it, or prehaps it took a while to register.

The tiny critter flinched slightly as the Lumendra proceeded to pour water on their wounds and carefully bandage them. But as they began to nibble they gradually regained their strength. After eatting high-enegry adventuring food, eventually the Smorkip stood up and elegantly shook the cave dust off their fur. They looked up at the tiny adventurer, relaying gratitude through their eyes.

As the explorer climbed to the surface, the Smorkip assisted them by gently pushing them up slopes with their hard nose. The explorer soon noticed that the Smorkip followed them out of the cave. The rest is history.

Tusara means snowfall in Sanscript, as they are the color of snow and were found during winter.
