    Description:
    Title says it all, at first it looks like a harmless fruit (giant seemingly harmless fruit) Where your thinking "omg! Giant space straberry!? MY DREAM COME TRUE!!!" It falls out of a vine (or tree, tree is more awesome, who doesn't want a giant strawberry tree? :p) native to that planet type.
    Usually grows in foresty, greeny areas where you would normally find fruits and stuff. So you'd least expect it to do anything, you would usually probably try and get it, and stock it away in your inventory (of course, in different universes, you can carry abnormally large items, so this isn't impossible) but when you get near it, it flies into the air and bares its fangs. Then it flies around trying to eat you. Oh, how fun would that be.
    Attacks:
    Desguise - does nothing till you're near it. (and back to desguise when you go away)
    Chomp - Tries to bite you
    Munch - Glows for about 2 seconds, then tries to eat and swallow you whole (in which case you are able to escape by rapidly pressing the attack button/left or right buttons)

    Planet Type:
    Foresty, greeny areas. Or places with lots of vegitation, gives the opportunity to have different colored Veliathans.

    Captureable?:
    Yes, it would be totally awesome to own one of these.

    Alright, and here are some sprites i did for it.

    Detailed still frames (land and sea variations):

    Even though it seems kindof wierd and the shading gives me an annoying itch, it's pretty damn awesome. This is in my top ten, and you have really good spriting bro!

    HAHAAHA... the monster i've drawed is just a transparent jelly :confused:
    but this strawberry is a great enemy, and it could live in a planet that have forests, and jungles!

    Well, I guess it's the only thing you can do if you have only 4 shades of a color!
