Landmark-only capture

Legendary Earth Beasts can only be captured at Seal-shaped coastal rocks, including Jialeshui, Kenting, Taiwan.

The place

Seal-shaped coastal rocks, including Jialeshui animal formations in Taiwan

Many coastlines have seal-shaped rocks because seals already look like smooth, wave-polished stone when resting.

This works well as a Geo-Legendary entry that celebrates the way the same animal can seem awkward on land and elegant in water.

Are these really petrified animals?

No. Coastal Seal Stone is inspired by a real place where natural rock, erosion, and human imagination overlap—not by a literal fossilized animal frozen in stone.

In AnimalDex, Coastal Seal Stone is its own catalog species with flagship stats and a field guide. Its biology draws on New Zealand Fur Seal (Arctocephalus forsteri) so the lesson stays educational and searchable.

FAQ

Why are seal-shaped rocks common?

Seals naturally resemble smooth coastal boulders when hauled out, so erosion and pareidolia often meet an animal that already looks like stone.

Is this tied to one location?

The entry can include examples such as Jialeshui in Taiwan, but it is designed for seal-shaped coastal rocks more broadly.
