Bloomoo
A type of oxen creature that heavily takes on aspects of flora. Bloomoos are similar to cows and bulls, however, they do not produce milk. Instead, they are used as mobile crop plots, fertilisers and towing cattle. Many farmers have one or two Bloomoos wanderng around, they are useful creatures for agriculture.

Life Stages
Bloomoos live to be a maximum of 60 years. Some records speak of ancient Bloomoos living to be older.
- Seedcalf 0 - 1 year
- Young Sprout 2 - 3 years
- Adult 4 - 60 years
Birth
When a Bloomoos reproduces, rather than giving live birth, Bloomoos will produce a seed that when exiting the mother's body will fall into the soil. The mother Bloomoo will then bury the seed and await for it to germinate. Once the seed has germinated, it will grow into a large sprout that will eventually bare a fruit. When this fruit splits open, a seedcalf will fall out. The seedcalf's necessary nutrients already met via the sprout's roots. Thus, the moment they hatch, they are ready to head out into the world.
Native Regions
Wild Bloomoos are wanderers, seekiing land with rich soil and optimal conditions to grow. They are very plant-like in nature, following their needs for growth more than anything. They are not a rare species, quite plentiful in fact, being seen in many areas of Castrella with farmlands and greenary. High concentrations of wild Bloomoos can be found in Sil'va , Dizajni , Guerre , Sung-luc and Rosewood. Domesticated Bloomoos can be found almost anywhere as long as the conditions for their care are met.

Trivia
- When they sleep, they ingrain themselves in the ground, blending in with their surroundings during the night. Predators struggle to differ a sleeping Bloomoo from a tree, which is why their population isn't struggling.
- They do not produce milk nor do they eat. They get their nutrients from the soil and so do their seedcalves. However, it does not mean they do not like to enjoy a good snack here and there.
