Medalliae
Medalliae is one of my oldest Kreatures, dating back to 1999. I've never given it more than bit parts, though. That might change someday. Its design is a cartoony composite of a lion and a rabbit.

Type Domestic Kreature, Battle Kreature
Rank D
Availability Common
Height 43cm (1'5")
Length 1.85m (6'1")

Metamorphoses Into Nedalliae

Medalliae has a long prehensile tail that it uses as a counterbalance while climbing, which is armed with coarse, needle-like hairs. It can flick the hairs off its tail like projectiles, or embed them directly with a painful tail strike. It will communicate with others of its kind using high pitched chirps and shrieks, which its large ears can detect even in dense forests. Feral Medalliaes are common in forests across Dimentiara, preferring to nest in hardwood trees, as their broad leaves provide more shelter. In areas where their populations overlap, Medalliaes and Gogons compete with each other for the same habitat and resources. If groups of these Kreatures come into contact it's not uncommon for them to wage war against each other over territory. A single Medalliae is no match for a Gogon so they will fight them two against one using bait and switch tactics.
