Rolo
Rolo is a Nature-type creo that burrows into the loose rock piles at the base of mountains and hides there through a mix of camouflage and stillness.
Rolo is extremely hard to spot while motionless, so the cold nights that give it away are the only reliable time to find one.
Biology
Rolo's body is soft and larva-like apart from the sharp spike jutting from its forehead. Its default coloring is golden brown, but it can shift its hue or even turn translucent to match the stones around it.
Cold mountain air sets off intense shivering and interferes with that color-shifting ability, leaving its body a bright, metallic gold.
Rolo thrive on a mineral-rich diet. They secrete a specialized saliva that slowly dissolves rock, letting them absorb trace metals and nutrients directly from stone. Over time that hollows out winding tunnels inside rock piles, which Rolo use as shelter, feeding grounds, and nesting chambers. Rolo also eat a wide variety of fungi and decaying matter, perhaps as much as their own body weight, 3 kg, in a day, and the dung they leave behind makes excellent fertilizer. In that way they help redistribute and recycle key nutrients in the area around them.
Rolo uses the hardened spike on its forehead to burrow into loose rock piles at the base of mountains, which lets it disappear completely into its surroundings. For all that camouflage, Rolo is most vulnerable at night. Under moonlight or starlight, its reflective coloring combined with violent shivering can flag its position to predators like a flickering beacon. On the coldest nights, Rolo coils up tightly deep inside a rock pile to hold onto warmth and stay hidden.
Rolo form small colonies inside the rocky shelters they occupy, working deep into cells within mineral-rich stone. They share the space but show little interest in one another outside the breeding season. A single Rolo may stay in the same rock pile for its entire six-year lifespan, rarely going far unless something forces it to.
Description
Rolo blends in with rocks at the base of mountains before its next evolution. Most easily discovered at night when the cold mountain air causes it to shiver.
