🦦 Feras Vanilla Edits: Enhydriodon

Enhydriodon is a highly specialized semi-aquatic predator built around progression, bonding, fish hunting, and evolution.

Unlike most creatures, you don't tame the final creature directly. Instead, you tame a Young Enhydriodon, build trust over time, and eventually evolve it into its adult form.

Adult Enhydriodons can then be evolved further into special Genesis variants, each adapted to a different Genesis biome with its own combat style, utility, and passive abilities.
