Calyx

Calyx is the first Boss Monster that the player and their Vulpin have to defeat during their journey through the world of Vulpin Adventure. It is the only Earth-Type boss monster, and it drops the Swarm Tome upon defeat, while its corrupted form drops the Boulder Breath Tome. Its regular form has 50 Health Points, while its corrupted form has 400.

Appearance
Calyx is a serpentine creature with a body composed of a turquoise substance that seems to be ethereal in nature. It has two winglike limbs, each composed of two leaves with curled stems. its tail, held in front of it, seems to be wrapped in an olive-green plant matter, with a tuft of slightly-ragged leaves decorating the end. Calyx's true face is obscured by a mask that seems to be made of wood, and a large pouf of feathers extends from the back of this mask to rest on the nape of the creature's neck. Four leaves in particular stick up from this mask along Calyx's spine. The mask itself is spiny and almost draconic nature, with two spines extending from the cheeks on each side and a spine in the centre, as well as a long horn extending from the nose. In place of eyes, two swirls of yellow paint with three dots next to them are painted onto this mask. A necklace that seems to be made of a vine and several colourful feathers or leaves rests around its neck.

In Calyx's corrupted form, the plant materials adorning this creature go from a regular green to a dark purple, and its blue-green body changes to a dull brown-tan. Its mask goes from wooden-brown to a desaturated purple, and its yellow eye markings turn into a vivid fuchsia colour.

Abilities
Both Calyx's normal and corrupted forms are only capable of using the Leaf Strike and Swarm abilities. When it attacks, it will either lift its tail and swing it downward to strike at the defending Vulpin, or it will raise its face to the sky and spread its limbs to magic.

Habitat
Calyx is found at the end of the Woods area, and its corrupted form is found while the player explores Darklight Castle.
