Chao Lore and Personality
Ebon Wood Chao spend most of their day gnawing on the same types of trees, sticks and leaves they were fed at a young age. After they finish eating, they harvest leftover parts of the tree and give it to the gardener, as if sharing their leftover food with them. Ebon Wood Chao have tough skin, similar to real wood, and they're slightly heavier than your average Chao. These Chao are sluggish because of their above average weight but it makes them very strong choices for Chao Karate. Their tough skin, above average weight and hard wooden punches make them powerful combatants and very difficult to fight because they can take a lot of damage and before getting knocked off stage.
Ebon Wood Chao don't enjoy swimming or running because their hardened and heavier body makes it too difficult to move around. If a Wood Chao falls into a pool of water, they end up motionlessly floating on their back in the water and they'll stay floating there until they're either taken out by their gardener or in some cases, pulled out by other Chao. Ebon Wood Chao are very slow readers, writers and singers but they are extremely patient and stay at Chao kindergarten longer than most Chao, which makes them learn a little bit more than your average Chao. Wood Chao can't dance because of how difficult it is for them, so they like to sit nearby and cheer on other Chao that are dancing.
Chao History
Ebon Wood Chao are based off Ebonwood from Vanilla Terraria.
For years, I've wanted to create a Wood gathering Chao but I constantly failed because of its design being difficult. I've gone through numerous designs in the past and all of them have ended in frustration, even this one... sad to say. For this one, I tried to take the wood sprites and fuse it to the Chaos head but unfortunately, they came out looking like dog ears. Dog Chao will look much different when they come out in the future but it's still upsetting that Wood Chao didn't come out looking like Wood Chao would but instead, they look like wooden dog Chao, which you can tell it was not what I was going for at all.
In conclusion, I'm happy we have Wood Chao designs for each version, but I'm not too thrilled with their design(s). For the sake of moving forward and because I want to add the other 1,000+ unadded Chao eventually, they won't be getting another redesign in the future unless someone else makes a really good and accurate looking Wood Chao.
