STORYBOARD
CREATURE DESIGN
‘Root surf’ can only be activated out of combat.
Equipped with the spear, the player must press R1.
Pressing on the right bumper for [x] seconds will
activate ‘root surf’.
Tigerlily’s spear will transform into magical essence
that will be absorbed by the ground beneath her.
Tigerlily jumps when the roots burst from
the ground.
Using the right bumper, the roots will move forward
and Tigerlily will move with them. The pace will be
faster than normal walking speed.
Tigerlily follows the fluid movement of the roots in a
longboard/surfing fashion.
