Iceburg the Meganium tends the gardens and orchard alongside Strawberry.  He's rather timid... most of the time, and leaves most of the gardening to Strawberry while he handles the fruits in the trees she can't reach.

Tao Ranch is where most of the food for [[Tao Village]] and the surrounding area comes from.  It was once run by both Ovaltine and [[Malt]], though following the destruction of the village and ranch, Malt left the ranch in the hands of his sister to that he may assist [[PK]] with handling the Merchant guild. The image shown above is how the Ranch looked like prior to the destruction that occurred in [[Mission 5]] at its old location much farther away from Tao Village.
====Mission 4====
 
[[Udon]] demanded that Iceburg and Ovaltine come back with her to [[Castle Draclugia]] for unknown reasons. Having known her from the past, Iceberg was glad to see her. However, Udon did not recognize him right away which led to some trouble. The issue was later resolved.

====The Question====
+
==Missions and Events==
When Iceburg met [[PK]] during her appointment with the Ranch, the Meganium became extremely timid and haunted by the Kecleon's presence.
+
===Mission 2===
 +
Reports of a Milktank named Ovaltine caught the interest of the Rescuer guild. Reports have come in stating how the Miltank charmed some villagers out of their belongings! Rescuers were ordered to find her and put a stop to her actions.  
  
====Event 6.2====
+
===Mission 3===
Iceburg went on a quick visit to [[Tao Village]] to ask [[PK]] some questions but before he had a chance, they were interrupted by a [[Charcoal|Zorua]] child. Much to his dismay, PK hitched a ride on his back and was dragged into the [[Illusory Woods]] in order to save [[Jasmine]] from [[Shade]].
+
The milk supply of the village was running dangerously low for a simple reason: Ovaltine was still in Tao Village. She had left the Ranch after an argument with her brother, Malt, when he refused to give her some vacation time. In order to keep the contract between the Ranch and village valid, [[Shroomsworth]] dispatched Merchant guild members to escort Ovaltine back to the ranch.
  
====Mission 7====
+
Meanwhile, members of [[Slasher]]'s gang had begun raiding the ranch and stealing from the egg supply. [[Puzelle]] had hired [[Vergil]] to keep the Sneasels out of the ranch, but there were too many for him to handle himself. The Rescuers answered the call for extra help.  
Following the events in [[Event 6 Part 2]], Iceburg, along with PK and some members of the [[Rogues]] guild found themselves having been teleported back in time in the [[Creeping Forest]]. They must now find and catch the injured Celebi and bring her to [[Monochrome Tower]].

[[Udon]] had shown up out of nowhere and declared all food now belonged to her dear lady, [[Merlot]]. When Ovaltine and [[Iceburg]] came to see what the commotion was about, both recognized the Dragonite, though it appeared the maid did not recognize either of them, and ordered the two to come to [[Castle Draclugia]] with her. Out of panic, [[Strawberry]] raced to Tao Village to seek out help from the Rescuers. They gave Udon just some food for her to bring back to the Baroness and left the Ranchers alone.

Ovaltine has lived and worked at Tao Ranch for as long as she can remember.  She helps produce much of the milk and works hard, even helping Iceburg with the gardens often, whom she seems to be close to.  She often teases [[Malt]], her sibling, and can have a bit of a temper at times.
 
 
 
===Missions and Events===
 
====Mission 2====
 
Ovaltine took advantage of some of the villagers to bamboozle them out of their belongings. The Rescuers put a stop to her behavior.
 
 
 
====Mission 3====
 
  
Tired of working hard at the ranch and never getting a vacation, Ovaltine left the ranch and caused a bit of trouble in Tao Village during mission 2. Malt ordered for her to be returned home. She was escorted back to the ranch by the merchants, since she had a contract that required her to produce milk.

===Mission 5===
 +
[[Sorbet]] fell victim to a powerful illusion and began to destroy the village, as well as create a powerful blinding blizzard. [[Mike]] and [[Sandy]], as well as many volunteers, trek through the blizzard and evacuated all the Ranchers.  
  
====Mission 4====

===Mission 6===
Udon demanded that Iceburg and Ovaltine come back with her to Castle Draclugia for unknown reasons. Having known her from the past, Ovaltine was glad to see her. However, Udon did not recognize her right away which led to some trouble. The issue was later resolved.
+
Once day broke, the damage to what Sorbet had caused became clear. The ranch had been completely covered with snow and sustained a serve amount of water damage. The cold had also killed all fruits and vegetables. The only thing salvageable were some crates of milk and eggs. Along with Malt's new position with the Merchant guild, it was decided it was best to move the ranch much closer to Tao Village. [[PK]] and the Merchant guild took over the reconstruction of the village, as well as assisting the Ranchers in moving to their new location.
 
 
====Mission 5 Epilogue====
 
Ovaltine and the other ranchers made it safely to Castle Draclugia. While she was glad to be safe, she still had a small spat with her brother, still slightly bitter about his command to the merchants of escorting her back to the ranch in Mission 3.

When Udon started attacking the ranch, Strawberry became very frightened and requested the help of the Rescuers.
 
 
 
====Mission 6====
 
Tao Ranch needed an overhaul after Sorbet's attacks. The merchants helped out Strawberry and the other ranchers to make it even better than before.

Ruben the Flygon helps maintain a steady supply of dud eggs for food and absolutely loves to dote over her eggs, often painting and decorating them.
 
 
 
She hails from [[Prismatic Jungle]], but with the help of [[Jill]] (who she had become friends with), she managed to escape.
 
 
 
====The Question====
 
In a conversation with Puzelle, Ruben discussed being able to remember dreams she had long ago and how re-acquainting herself with [[PK]] had her remember her time in the Prismatic Jungle--not all of it, but snippets that turned her face to tragic.  She quickly changed the topic before she could dwell on those dreams and memories longer.

Tao Ranch is where most of the food for Tao Village and the surrounding area comes from. It was once run by both Ovaltine and Malt, though following the destruction of the village and ranch, Malt left the ranch in the hands of his sister to that he may assist PK with handling the Merchant guild. The image shown above is how the Ranch looked like prior to the destruction that occurred in Mission 5 at its old location much farther away from Tao Village.

Missions and Events

Mission 2

Reports of a Milktank named Ovaltine caught the interest of the Rescuer guild. Reports have come in stating how the Miltank charmed some villagers out of their belongings! Rescuers were ordered to find her and put a stop to her actions.

Mission 3

The milk supply of the village was running dangerously low for a simple reason: Ovaltine was still in Tao Village. She had left the Ranch after an argument with her brother, Malt, when he refused to give her some vacation time. In order to keep the contract between the Ranch and village valid, Shroomsworth dispatched Merchant guild members to escort Ovaltine back to the ranch.

Meanwhile, members of Slasher's gang had begun raiding the ranch and stealing from the egg supply. Puzelle had hired Vergil to keep the Sneasels out of the ranch, but there were too many for him to handle himself. The Rescuers answered the call for extra help.

Mission 4

Udon had shown up out of nowhere and declared all food now belonged to her dear lady, Merlot. When Ovaltine and Iceburg came to see what the commotion was about, both recognized the Dragonite, though it appeared the maid did not recognize either of them, and ordered the two to come to Castle Draclugia with her. Out of panic, Strawberry raced to Tao Village to seek out help from the Rescuers. They gave Udon just some food for her to bring back to the Baroness and left the Ranchers alone.

Mission 5

Sorbet fell victim to a powerful illusion and began to destroy the village, as well as create a powerful blinding blizzard. Mike and Sandy, as well as many volunteers, trek through the blizzard and evacuated all the Ranchers.

Mission 6

Once day broke, the damage to what Sorbet had caused became clear. The ranch had been completely covered with snow and sustained a serve amount of water damage. The cold had also killed all fruits and vegetables. The only thing salvageable were some crates of milk and eggs. Along with Malt's new position with the Merchant guild, it was decided it was best to move the ranch much closer to Tao Village. PK and the Merchant guild took over the reconstruction of the village, as well as assisting the Ranchers in moving to their new location.

The Question

Malt arranged an appointment with the Ranchers and PK to finally meet and check on the progress since the reconstruction of the ranch. Iceburg, Ruben, and Clover all met the Kecleon but with different reactions; Iceburg became extremely timid, Ruben acted as if she had seen PK before, and Clover creeped out her boss. After breakfast, Malt began to escort PK to meet his sister, but Twigs appeared and took his girl on yet another date, despite her prior engagement.
