Artwork
When Skotterpill begins to transform into Skocoon, it wraps itself in a thick protective covering of leaves that intertwine with its fur. Despite being vulnerable to attack in this state, the creature can tolerate even the strongest of hails and snow. The attacks of smaller creatures are ignored until they are too exhausted to continue. If Skocoon’s dormancy is disrupted, the creature must wait until the following year to repeat the process. If the creature’s transition concludes early during the autumn months, it evolves into Leaferrier. If it concludes at any other time, it evolves into Skotterfly.
