    Summer Lily Elasmosaurus Event Skin
    +For a limited time, players will be able to earn a unique Elasmosaurus Lily Shimmer Skin.
    -This skin has a glowing, bioluminescent layer
    -The skin also unlocks three separate, equippable cosmetics that are associated with the skin:
    • Lily Hat: sits on the Elasmo's head.
    • Lily Foliage: mesh additions that adds lilies, flowers, and various stick debris to the Elasmosaurus' head and back.
    • Lily Overlay: fish silhouettes and lilies painted onto the Elasmo's back and head.
    These equippable items can be put on any Elasmosaurus skin.
    Note: only one Texture-type Overlay can be equipped on a skin at a time.

    Summer Event Skins Unlocking & Mechanics
    Rather than have our new Elasmosaurus event skin unlocked by growth as we've done in the past, we've decided to try something new!
    To unlock the Elasmosaurus Summer Lily event skin and its associated equippable cosmetics, players will need to hunt for and collect Elasmosaurus-themed idols scattered around the seafloor.
    The Lurdusaurus Waverider skin is now earned by gathering Lurdusaurus-themed idols also scattered around the seafloor, and is no longer earned by growing to 2.0 on a Life Cycle server.
    Gathering the idols will allow the player to progress through and complete achievements associated with earning the skins.

    The idols will be spawning on all servers and on both Life Cycle and Free Roam game modes. Completing the achievement on any server will unlock access to the skin and cosmetics game-wide.

    Here is some more useful information about some of the nuanced details regarding how players can gather idols and earn the skins!

    -The idols will always be found on the seafloor and spawn randomly anywhere a carcasses spawn.
    -Both the Elasmosaurus event skin and last year's Lurdusaurus Skal skin are now earned by collecting idols scattered around the sea floor and returning them to a matching deity shrine. There are Elasmosaurus idols for the Elasmosaurus Lily skin, and Lurdusaurus idols for the Lurdusaurus Skal skin
    -They currently require gathering 50 idols each. All idols must be gathered on the same server to complete the achievement and unlock the skin, but they can be individually gathered by different creatures or during different lives.
    -Idols show up on the compass when nearby with a color themed for the deity shrine they belong to
    -Turning in an idol will show achievement progress in the top-right corner of the screen
    -You should also be able to view the progress you've made towards unlocking both the event skins by viewing the corresponding achievements in the achievements gallery's Limited Time Events page

    We hope you all enjoy this new means of earning our event cosmetics. Happy idol hunting!

    Mechanics Changes
    +Mechanics (public): Adjusted the amount of Stamina damage inflicted with Exhausting Bite such that it should deliver a more consistent result.
