Rolton mount

Rolton mounts released at Rumor Woods as part of a new Year of the Rolton Theme for 2023. Roltons are summoned by a leash, which is a summoning item that stores their information but is considered a separate item. There are three tiers: common, uncommon, and rare. All rolton mounts share a similar setup with their appearance.

Appearance

Small-pupilled, brown eyes dominate the wide face of the sheep, while short ears rest upon his noble brow at an angle, leaving room for curved horns with dark rings.  His fluffy body is covered in solid cream fleece, which trails across his back and culminates in a short tail.

Common

Common mounts are the least expensive option when considering purchase. They are limited in alteration options that may be allowed through the Ostler.

Their appearance is similar to the common tier.

Special Ability

As with all rare mounts, roltons have special abilities unique to them.

During the day, the rolton can randomly find butterflies or cikyas, while during the evening it can randomly find moths or cikyas. These insects are part of the Bugs on Parade insect series and you will have a 50/50 chance to get either a gemstone or a paper insect. Each gemstone is coded just as all the other Bugs on Parade insects are and can be used in your crafting, the paper insect is similar but not quite the same. In honor of the noble animal that found it, and because it is the Year of the Rolton, the paper designs are completely based on roltons.

Snuffling about the foliage, a fluffy black rolton coaxes forth (butterfly/cikya/moth) from its hiding place.  It flutters just above the rolton, sunlight/moonlight dancing upon its delicate wings.  A quiet bleat from the rolton startles the insect, and it darts off, but as it does, something gently drops to the ground.
