===Bloat, Land (Gardenback)=== [[File:Greenback_00.png|150px|thumb|left|Gardenback]] The '''Gardenback''' is an aerial terrestrial herbivore found in the temperate forests of the Northern Wildwood. The Gardenback is covered in green fur reminiscent of dense foliage and its belly is the colour of stone, all the better to blend into copses of woody trees and undergrowth. This is especially aided by the growth of plants on the creature's back. Like its cousin the '''Rainbow Blimpie''', the Gardenback possesses a modified stomach, open to the air in the form of a bowl. Here, rainwater collects and quenches the creature, rather than the more familiar process of drinking. In this small pond, the seeds of small waterborne plants can fall and germinate, to decorate the creature. While the main benefit of this garden is blending into surroundings (very important, as the Gardenback floats at a leisurely pace, even at its fastest) it can also provide a quick snack should food prove scarce. There are even reports of Greenbacks picking and intentionally planting shoots and saplings into their pond-bowl, using their split-trunk like a clumsy manipulator. Near its back, the Gardenback still retains the bright orange spots that, on its ancestors, served as photosensitve receptors responsible for photosynthesis. The Gardenback, however, does not produce its own food, and these spots are in fact inert, and now serve only as a remind of its past. It is very possible the feature will atrophy, until disappearing completely, like the spots of the Rainbow Blimpie. ====Behind the Scenes==== * This creature was named by the fans/players, as FortuneHost couldn't think of a decent one when it was submitted. * The creature's habit of picking plants between two "fingers" is reminiscent of ''E.T.'' * Gardenbacks owe some amount of inspiration to some of the creatures of the animated film ''Princess Mononoke''.
