Syrup

Syrup (シロップ) is a monster companion in NewWorld Online and a supporting character in the BOFURI series. As he is Maple's companion, he is affiliated with the Maple Tree guild.

Unlike the companions found on the 7th layer, Syrup hatched from a monster egg. Syrup is one of the mythical beasts that had their eggs hidden in the game.

Description
Syrup is a deep green turtle. After his first evolution, the pattern on his shell changes a little and he has grass and flowers growing underneath.

His egg is a deep green.

Second Event Arc
A pair of eggs were acquired by Maple and Sally after searching the nest of the defeated boss, Silverwing. During their breaks, Maple and Sally used their bodies to incubate the eggs. The green egg chosen by Maple hatched into a deep green turtle a little bigger than its egg. Maple named him Syrup.

After the event ended, Maple used one of her Medal rewards to acquire the Psychokinesis skill. Along with the Megamorph skill Syrup learned, she was able to change Syrup into a flying transport.

Guild Founding Arc
When Chrome was looking to get stronger, Maple lent him syrup as a way to cheer him on. Not long after, Chrome discovered the Tomb of the Dead. As a way of thanking Maple for her support, Chrome put a lot of focus on helping Syrup level up. Syrup learned Cover, Mother Nature, and Spirit Cannon at this time.

Companions Arc
After Maple and Sally stumbled upon a key-item orb, they decided to try and discover its purpose. Their search for clues led them to discover a map and Kanade's wisdom told them about a city. Although the city was in ruins, Maple and Sally were able to use their key items to teleport to town where only animals could be seen.

Maple and Sally followed Syrup and Oboro as they moved outside the town to a watering place made of stone. After being put inside the water and pulled out, Syrup evolved. The pattern on his shell changed a little bit, and grass and flowers seemed to be growing underneath.

Eighth Event Arc
Shortly after the 8th event began, Maple found it difficult to encounter and defeat monsters. To overcome the buffs and debuffs of the event, Maple relied on an exploit to attract monsters and Syrup's new skills to easily trap and defeat monsters.
