Summer Storms in Sapphire Grove

As summer begins, we wanted to spotlight one of Ryder’s most atmospheric regions: Sapphire Grove.

Hidden beneath towering Thundering Oaks, Sapphire Grove is a forest locked beneath constant rainfall. Glowing mushrooms illuminate the paths below while storms roll endlessly through the canopy overhead. This region is inspired by the thunderstorms that happen at the beginning of summer in our hometown.

The creatures that inhabit Sapphire Grove have learned the way of the storms and have learned to master cloud-themed or lightning-based abilities.

Here are some of the creatures you can meet in Sapphie Grove:

Cumulasaur

The Cumulasaur is a sturdy, cloud-themed dinosaur resembling an Ankylosaur, with billowing clouds adorning both its head and tail.

Driftback

The Driftback is a calm, cloud-humped camel-like creature that thrives in the rain-soaked expanse of the Sapphire Grove. It moves steadily through the marshy terrain, found in an array of shades of blue.

Cloudwool

The Cloudwool is a sheep creature with a coat resembling fluffy clouds, accompanied by small floating cloudlets that drift around its body.

We hope you all are enjoying finding the various creatures in Ryder and getting a chance to meet some of the stormy creatures in the Sapphire Grove!
