Rolo is a [[Nature]]-type [[Creo]] that burrows into loose rock piles at the base of mountains and hides there through a mix of camouflage and stillness.

Rolo is extremely difficult to spot when motionless, which makes the cold nights that give it away the only reliable time to find one.

== Biology ==
Rolo's body is soft and larvae-like, with the exception of the sharp spike that juts out from its forehead. Its default coloration is golden brown, but Rolo can shift its hue or even become translucent to match the stones around it.

Cold mountain air induces intense shivering spells and interferes with its color-shifting ability, causing its body to take on a bright, metallic gold sheen.

Rolo thrive on a mineral-rich diet. They secrete a specialized saliva that slowly dissolves rock, allowing them to absorb trace metals and nutrients directly from stone. Over time, this process hollows out winding tunnels within rock piles, which Rolo use as shelter, feeding grounds, and nesting chambers. Rolo also consume a wide variety of fungi and decaying organic matter, perhaps as much as their body weight (3 kg) in one day, and the dung they leave behind is excellent fertilizer. In this way, they help redistribute and recycle key nutrients in their immediate environment.

Rolo uses the hardened spike on its forehead to burrow into piles of loose rocks at the base of mountains, allowing it to disappear completely into its surroundings. Despite its excellent camouflage, Rolo is most vulnerable at night. Under moonlight or starlight, its reflective coloration paired with violent shivering can give away Rolo's position to predators like a flickering beacon. During especially cold nights, Rolo coils tightly deep within rock piles to conserve warmth and avoid detection.

Rolo form small colonies within the rocky shelters they inhabit, delving deep into cells within mineral-rich stone. Although they live in the same space, they show little interest in each other outside of the breeding season. A single Rolo can remain in the same rock pile for its entire six-year lifespan, rarely venturing far unless compelled.
