Flavor Text

: It is said that kids who drink Miltank’s milk grow up to become hearty, healthy adults.

: If it is around babies, the milk it produces contains much more nutrition than usual.
: Its milk is packed with nutrition, making it the ultimate beverage for the sick or weary.
: Miltank gives over five gallons of milk on a daily basis. Its sweet milk is enjoyed by children and grown-ups alike. People who can’t drink milk turn it into yogurt and eat it instead.

: Its milk is high in calories and packed with nutrients. Therefore, if you drink too much of it, you may wind up with a body like Miltank’s.
: Most people raise it for its milk, but it’s quite tough and strong, so it’s also well suited for battle.
: It produces over five gallons of milk a day. The higher the quality of the pastures it lives in, the richer and tastier its milk becomes.
: Its milk is delicious and chock-full of nutrients. However, if you drink too much, it could make your stomach hurt, so be careful.
