hahahaha🕊️ pistol backstoryt

Pistol was once beloved and considered one of the most resilient and strong Aereis in the hierarchy of the pack, always taking on every task thrown at him with precision and ease. But, over the many years withstanding constant high expectations and demands, he was tired of it, and he decided to rebel.

He went against what he was taught, ran off, but was eventually found. Found, and was not treated the best. Not even close to the best, complete opposite of it, as he was now left in the forest, terrified and injured.

But, through all that, he managed to make bandages with the foliage around him, and eventually healed, avoiding being mauled by things several times.

Despite having healed already, he realized he had permenant damage. This lead to him growing a hatred for how weak he was, and he decided to fix that himself with metals he found around Sonaria..

Pistol is quite overconfident due to his past, being so praised by nearly everyone. With his newly created power, he can do a lot of damage to anything who dares to attack, his tail being specifically modified to propel him in water to escape any potentially life threatening situation.

In his cave, he has a nest that is made from leaves and soft materials he has found around the area, he has hidden in this cave for a very long time to avoid being found, because despite being partially made of metals... He can't fly. Even if he were to construct his own wings, he would be too heavy with all of the self modifications he had done.

caelestis hahahhahahahahahauahdhd

Caelestis is an Aereis in the second highest ranking within the hierarchy, just below the leaders. He is usually sent out on the dangerous missions to take down any creatures which were deemed "undeserving of life" by the leaders. They covered his eyes to make sure he doesn't know what he is killing, and he has enough trust in his leaders to know they weren't making him do wrong. The day they put the bandages over his eyes he was distraught, but now he is too used to it and is too afraid to even dare taking them off.

Caelestis was sent out on a mission to find Pistol after the many years of him going undiscovered and unknown, so he followed as usual. He searched for a long time, several days, peeking into caves and reporting back to his leaders every so often.. until he found one particular cave, with a unnatural looking rock formation. Written in Sonarian with sticks embedded in the dirt, "DO NOT ENTER UNLESS YOU WISH FOR CERTAIN DEATH." Surely he

could handle that.

Beneath the silvery glow of the moon, a family of yenyashas sought refuge inside a den. The tiny family consisted of the mother, the father, and two delightful little foals.

One of the foals, Makarios, was sickly.

Ever since he was born, he had not eaten a thing by himself, and the parents feared their time was up when the little one collapsed just outside of the burrow.

Nevertheless, his sibling retained a flicker of hope.. Nudging his unmoving body, they tried to push him inside the nest, but without help, it was an impossible task for them.

Abruptly, a piercing shriek reverberated, sending nearby creatures into a frenzy of terror

The two parents watched in sheer horror as their sickly, frail son devoured his sibling...

Makarios was focused on his meal, only eating the most tender of parts, ripping at the tissue and licking the blood from his snout.

He suddenly lifted his head, casting an intense gaze upon his parents. Blood dripped from his snout, some of his teeth now broken and chipped from biting down onto hard bones.

He approached...

5 years later, a family of yenyashas rejoiced in the arrival of their new foal, blissfully oblivious to the ravenous, deranged eyes that lurked beneath the verdant foliage, observing their every move...

Yenyasha photoshoot extra

I love this sheep thing sm

Storyline involving the shadow documents so the 2 people that actually pay attention to those are probably fine.

Also I’m sorry of this name has already been used, it’s too general of a name ;-;

Chapter 1:

Whilst the queen lays dormant, the cursed Karakro hopes to revive it so it could be free from it’s curse, so it goes around the shadow isle grabbing the carcasses that HV2 has left behind, and starts working on reviving the queen…

Meanwhile, an Moonelle named Luna ventures onwards towards the central rockfaces, hoping to find many people and explore. Luna finds a friendly Flixlit named Gilbert, Luna introduces herself first.

“Hello, I’m on an adventure! Do you want to join?”

”Sure, I’ve got nothing else to do” says the bored Flixlit.

So they share names and go on their merry way to the jungle, hoping to find the elusive “Warden Shrine” that Luna has an image of in her book.

”Alright Gilbert, we’re searching for the shrine of the angelic warden, one or the 7 Saviors that built the relic called “Inkpujin” to save Sonaria from peril.”

Of course, Gilbert has no idea what she’s talking about, but he goes along with it anyways. They search out in the open and find nothing, Gilbert even tried to go as high as he can to try to find the Angel’s Shrine. Next they would search in the multiple caves and find nothing.

”Well Luna, we found nothing, do you want to grab a snack from Mylo’s sandwich place?”

”No, I-“

Luna suddenly falls through the wall whilst leaning against it, and shocks Gilbert in the process.

“…Hello? Are you okay?”

”nope, scratched my head on the floor, but I found the shrine! Come down!”

Gilbert reluctantly and slowly walked into the wall that Luna had just fallen through, and spots the vibrant shrine of the angel, which interests him immediately.

The two walk towards the large stone shrine and Gilbert looks towards Luna, who opens her leather book to hopefully guide them both to speaking with the warden.

”Gilbert, it says here that we communicate to the wardens through this tablet found near each of their shrines. Go ahead, touch the tablet.”

Gilbert, once pecking at the tablet, sees a large black tree with purple crystals on it for a split second, with the Sonarian text reading “Help” appearing on the tablet immediately after the interaction…

The angelic warden appears to them, and speaks to them about the impending doom that Sonaria faces.

”Inkpujin is destroyed, we cannot craft it again with the current resources we have, I foresee that you two shall find a warrior to help in the coming war, you have to find the rest of the 6 Warden’s shrines.

Eigion deep in the sea, Hellion deep in the dunes, Ardor at the end of the swamp nearby, Boreal hidden in a cave in the mountains, Verdant in the flower cove, and Garra in the center of the volcano,

Novus has already been disabled because of the previous fight against the weakened queen of shadows, now go, save Sonaria.”

(TW: Violence, blood, mentions of War)

It had been a decade since the world was rocked by the onslaught of War.

Arkan managed, with pathetic ease, to convince the Creatures of Sonaria to serve as his army.

Swathes of forests were blazed to make room for the growing army Arkan had gathered.

Several craftier species had been making various homes or nests for those who needed them, and as his numbers swelled, so did the need for such resources.

Resting in his mountainous home, the Para felt feelings he hadn't felt in centuries: A genuine sense of purpose and accomplishment. The world was his oyster, and the Aeries' Kingdom would be the pearl he'd dig from its shattered shell. Nothing was out of the reach of his talons. His core (and subsequently, his reforged shell) had nearly doubled in size since he began his warpath, forcing him to reshape his home to accommodate his greatly increased size.

The sound of frantic wingbeats interrupted his thoughts, and he slipped up the stairs to his upper floors to greet one of his many spies whom he'd sent to locate-

"THE BOREAL WARDEN, SIRE! HE'S HERE!"

A small Zwevealsk crashed into the floor of his home, her tail and back wings frozen completely, as a deafening roar quaked the lair of The Frozen King. He merely sighed in annoyance before he spoke, his voice resounding off the walls off his home.

"It's about time."

Arkan stepped past the whimpering creature as he gazed outwards, his star-born eyes piercing through the cataclysmic blizzard that crept up his colossal mountain home.

Qhualhul was here, and he was furious. His towering form and his glowing blue eyes stared right into Arkan's as the Warden charged up towards the Para's lair, unimpeded by the ice and snow. Arkan snorted in amusement as he stepped off the ledge before him, the wind under his wings catching and hauling his equally massive frame down towards the Great Beast of the North.

...

The two met with equally fearsome blows, the blizzard raging around them like the walls of a colosseum as the two great creatures clashed among the frost. Arkan slammed his spiked shoulder into the Boreal Warden's side, causing it to stumble before raising several icy spikes out of the snow, forcing Arkan's talons up to shatter the spikes as they reached him.

Arkan barely had enough time to look up before Qhualhul charged into him, knocking the Para onto his tail, forcing him to press his wings against the ground for stability. He quickly grabbed the Warden's head and heaved it to the side, causing the Lord of the North to shriek as its body was wrenched with it onto the ground, the impact causing the mountains around them to quake.

It was a massacre from there, as Arkan tore into the Warden's body as it kicked its legs toward him fruitlessly.

"CEASE, CEASE! I SURRENDER!" The Warden screamed as Arkan prepared to land the final blow. The Frozen King placed a talon on its neck before retorting, his own voice seething as adrenaline threatened to slay the God right here "You dare approach me in revenge for a slight, before begging for mercy once I have you at mine? I thought you were a great deity."

"I am a deity" Boreal spoke, its voice husk as metal pressed against its scales "However, I seem to have met my match- *Ack* -to a superior opponent." Arkan knew he must act quickly, before the Warden could devise a plan to escape and potentially reverse its unequal position- "Listen closely, I sent my spies to search for you so that I may explain a plan to-" Qhualhul suddenly shifted against his talon, forcing Arkan to pin another to it "-overthrow that blasted Angelic Warden!"

The Warden suddenly stopped, the deafening blizzard vanishing in an instant as its eyes ceased glowing. It simply stared at Arkan for a moment, stunned by his words.

"...really?"

________________________

Profile: Qhualhul

Age: Timeless

Species: Warden

Gender: Prefers male pronouns, but is genderless themselves

Description: Most don't see the Boreal Warden and are simply swallowed by the eternal blizzard that it surrounds itself with constantly. Those who do catch glimpses if its colossal form describe a bird-like face with a crest of feathers framing its head like a crown, its glowing blue eyes pierce and freeze even the hardiest creatures in utter terror.

Behavior: Sadistic and violent, often walking through herds of migrating animals simply for the amusement of watching them freeze, despite being a Warden. The only creatures that it tolerates are those who hail from its own residence of blasted frost and lethal cold.

Threat Level: 5/5 Flee in terror, and pray it doesn't see you

Look a sominas and noctla's heads one of the only 2 creatures with this unique horn and orb combination

And somina and noctla are the only 2 creatures with 5 tails, making me think they have similar origins

Leik since somina elus see to be lunar like creatures what if one of them was like coruppted by the blood moon in something like that and slowly evolved (or devolved) into noctla lune

The queen sentenced a cursed Karakro to sacrifice meat to the shadow shrine for eternity as punishment for him making a slight spelling mistake on the invasion crew entrance exam, and this Servant still sits to this day repeating the cycle of donating meat to the shrine and grabbing food from alternative dimensions to sacrifice to the same shrine, his task is endless, and he suffers.

Hungry.

Crawling.

Prey.

Nightmare.

Empress.

Destroy.

Kill.

DATA RESTORED.

The Isle holds life, but it still seeks to destroy, so in one final effort to have the last laugh, it created the Empress of Shadows. This was a foolproof invasion, it planned everything, from V2’s corruption to Hysterion’s freedom, it experimented with creatures as if they were toys. All that’s left is to attempt to destroy the Empress and the sample before it was too late, this is war. A bloody war.

Basically a random poem from my experience in nesting.

Lay, lay, lay, Finally, an egg

Off to find food, Minawii steals my egg

Another egg—lay, lay—Protect, protect,A Korathos has come, no protect, abandon nest flee!

A new nest,Lay, lay,Another egg.Protect, protect, crack. My child, "aw no mut". child disappears.

Lay, lay,My fourth egg now. cracks, hatch, Another child. Please stay, and he does.

Cute, protect, raise, my child big now.

But a oxy appears, i react too slow.

Sad, sad, quit nesting.

Boreal warden:

Damage from 65 to 45

Addition of 125 frost nova(idk if ppl get affected by this ability much)

150 tail whip(isn’t affected by rage)

Bite cooldown from 1 to 1.2

Why: I could have given a custom ability but I’d leave that to the devs, so as you can see I’m fixing ONE problem for most boreal users with the low tail whip so it’s not too op then the frost nova to make up for the dps nerf that makes it so it can barely hurt most ppl(prob won’t stop ppl from mainning, but still makes them less of a problem)

Kavouradis:

Damage from 400 to 350

Bite cooldown from 1 to 1.2

Injury from 3.5 to 5

Turn rate to 8.5

Health regen from 4% to 8%

Addition of quick recovery

Bleed block from 90% to 100%

Moisture from 900 to 250

Addition of dart

35 dart stamina

2.5 dart power

Thirst to 0.5

Diet to omnivore

Why: The dart, moisture nerf, turn rate nerf, thirst(ik most creatures have pretty much the same thirst, so I’m kinda doing something unique or maybe dumb with this

) was to make it more aquatic based.

The regeneration buff was to make it more like a crab on how they can regenerate their limbs and stuff through molts.

The dps nerf was to make it less of a threat of not being able to fly away because of it only having 1 wing shredder and 1.2 bite cooldown.

Back to omnivore because it’s a crab.

As you can see I did a dps nerf for both of em but also gave them a little relief for the nerfs, tell me what you think, though pls don’t be toxic about it.

Qualhul

Hope

It seems like hope because it does

(you hope Rebus is coming back)

Serphelius

Balance

Rebirth

It seems like an angel so like-

Rebirth cuz it love

Farhaus

Life

Ik this is Serphelius but just look at it-

It's a bunny and the event is on easter

*cough* *cough*

Easter is a holiday of rebirth because- iykyk

Zouhtek

Love/Loyalty

Obvious

Malveathian

Fear? Jealousy?

I mean like-

Horrifying fish but then the old concept (skinny one) looks more like fear.

Jealousy because it is jealous of Qualhul for some reason (or vice versa) (or Omnibus was jealous or smth but we don't have time for that)

Mors' Vuhk

Fear? Death?

Osiris looking

Fear cuz that thing looks possesed

Omnibus

Form

Idk why

This thing is all-terrain so it makes sense to form

Also, it's a harbinger of the unknown

Nukzeh

Harbinger of time Concept of summer

Idk abt summer

Time makes sense but I think Nukzeh should get its event

Like the lore event

Headcanons!!

Omnibus and Serphelius are friends cuz they share an event.

Omnibus and Qualhul hate each other

Malveathian loves munching on Serphelius's incarnations so Serphelius makes one everyday

Zouthek loves Farhaus for some reason

Farhaus despises Zouthek

Mors'vuhk tortures Nukzeh for no reason

I hate. HATE Malupisces.

But what else do I hate?

Its playerbase.

Well, its honestly just a first impression.

This Saturday (or was it the last one-?)

I played, and I was playing as my healer.

Valkyrie.

Then, after.. mm.. 30 secs, I got chased by a malupisces.

My first initial reactions?

'oh its debuffs are annoying, I'll fly away and heal.'

'IT CAN GLIDE???!!' in the loudest scream.

At first, I didn't mind it. I can regrow.

Edit:

Forgot to mentioned I died here, and decided to regrow, my friend was in the server, so I wanted to support them, they have a tendency to start fights, lol

Then a RED SHADED MALU. killed me.

I was FURIOUS.

Not because of like. dying.

The audacity of this guy saying 'aight I'ma kill you now.' and kill a baby healer.

Now this is most definitily biased. but for good reasons.

My first impression?

Shattered rage.

I played as my favorite Aereis skin, who glimmered some other day, a friend gave it to me. and I cherish that aereis.

(I will not go further in detail since its private, and is not for me to say.)

Yknow who decided to kill me?

The same red faded Malu.

As a pisces.

(28 Feb 2008)

This is seriously hurtful, not only is it ugly, I take playerbase to heart.

And I will kill one at any chance I see.

Forget the kendylls.

Edit:

To conclude, I will be taking a LONG break from cos.

Figured quitting isnt worth it.

Ill just be coming back anyways.

But to wait out malu's hype.

It's atrocious.

Activation: Pounce will be like a passive version of spite that is gained from falling from jumping, darting, or climbing.

What it’s like: as the creature falls a pounce meter fills up multiplying its damage and aliments which is customizable for each creature.

Examples:

Strafelis will have 70% pounce to make up for its 231 dps.

Jhiggl jangl will have 200% to give a whole lotta necropoison to troll since its base damage is low at 80

Morcanix get 35% to be more special LOL

Fabraashe gets 20% just to be more of a menace despite not needing this at all.

Idrabark gets 50% because its the type to lure with food then jump from the trees to stab you into a Bolivian LOL

What do yall think of this ability?

What would you change?

"even for its fathers status and reputation, he is a ought curse that lives and breathes, deemed pure for its fathers own maliciousness. Favero distrusts its own gizzard."

nolumoth oc yay we cheer and clap our hands

I dont know i might make more lore about him but its a genus of nolumoth, "mordax tyto noctem"

I want some feedback on how to write better so heres a short lil passage thing:

A baby laharpes wandered alone through the redwood forest. the trees towered above and a steep cliff was next to it. the laharpes searched for its mother, calling out cautiously as to not attract predators. still, a shararook heard the calls and recognized them as a baby's. it cloaked itself and carefully plodded toward the laharpes, hoping to not make any sound or leave footprints. when it got close enough, it swung a giant arm at the small creature. the laharpes turned sharply and started running away and the shararook ran after it, but the laharpes was too fast and ducked into a narrow passage in the towering cliff next to them where the shar couldn't reach.

pretty long post, have this picture for attention

-puppy behaviour

-likes being scratched, espescially on the tummy

-primarily aquatic, as the feeling of its skin drying out is uncomfortable.

- they would be great mothers

- novus babies hatch underwater and spend until their early adult years underwater (lets ignore the fact they need water, thats what cloud breath is for)

- novus babies are very dependent on their mother, as most of their “antenna” havent formed yet, so they have trouble sensing whats around them (novus are blind, using their long head thing, tail things and shoulder things to sense the world around them)

- they love to play in water and wind currents

- it takes them no energy to fly, all terrain feels the same to them. basically, they can walk on air

- practically unkillable, their body (the swirly patterns) is made of water and just splashes, their rocks… are rocks

- they can produce water vapor at will, drawing it from the air. novus wardens may appear to be foaming at the mouth- in reality this is them hydrating themselves. this is a form of soothing behavior, they will often do this in fights, or if they are stressed. (this is based off of their cloud breath)

- when a novus warden dies, its body dissolves and whats left is a pile of rocks (its arms and armour)

- there are many more females than males

- novus wardens will often wake up surrounded by small creatures. thankfully, they will not step on them.

- extreme pacifists. they prefer to run away from almost anything.

- they experience heavy grief at the loss of a loved one. they can mourn for years and go into deep depressions, sometimes even dying from being too sad to move or eat.

- strong familial bonds.

- they are soppy little things. one slight convenience and they will totally break down :(

guess my favourite creature! guess it!!

New mini series is starting. I love marine biology so I think it would be fun to look at (in a bit too much detail) all the features which the marine creatures in sonaria have, and potential reasons for these!

So let's start with Kohikii,

Kohikii is a mix of Bobbit worm, Spotfin Lionfish and Horror-Film Worms. Kohikii has a pair of Bobbit-Worm pincers, two antenna appendages on its head and shorter antenna stemming from its Maxilar. presents with Triple Dorsal fins, two pectoral fins, smaller pelvic fins, spiny anal fin, small-finley protrusions, a 3-finned homocercal caudal vertical tail and bioluminescent diamonds with plate-like details covering their body.

Now, let's start with the parts, which i have tried to label as accurately as i can

The antennae were especially confusing as the Antennules appears to be both Flagellate and Segmented, a flagellate antennules have muscle attachments at the base which act as a hinge for the flagellum which is a flexible string of annuli which are not connected via muscle and a Segmented Antennules is when the Annuli are separated from other Annuli by an individual muscle attachment.

When looking at Kohikii’s antennules, they appear to have a hinge at the base, but are also segmented, upon looking at swimming animations on the page the muscle hinge does not move the antennules and they move in a way which would make them segmented, which makes me believe Kohikiis antennules are in fact segmented and do not need the hinge at the base of them. The rest of Kohikiis antennae appear to be Flagellate as they are not segmented at all but simply have bioluminescent ends and do not appear to move on the animations.

I have no issues or questions about any of the fins. Although i find the description of the tail being Homocercal to be quite interesting, a homocercal fin, definition is as follows “the fin usually appears superficially symmetric but in fact the vertebrae extend for a very short distance into the upper lobe of the fin.” The tail being Homocercal would not make sense for Kohikii as it would appear that the Vertebrae extend very high into both the upper and lower lobe, although homocercal does make sense in the “symmetric” sense, the vertebrae does not but it is the most accurate definition of Kohikiis caudal fin.

So, let's move onto the next section of Kohikii,

Although the description for kohikii does say that it does not have a lot of defence and only has a few plates, i have marked what i believe would be, or is plated sections of the kohikii, these plates would likely be under the skin and centered more around the face, mandibles and back (as far as i can tell from the reference) and then in the antennae. Although plating or shells are primarily seen as a defensive evolutionary trait, seen in things like Armadillos, turtles and Pangolins. Plates are not just for defensive purposes, an old example of this being the Dunkleosteus, the Dunkleosteus was an Apex Predator during the Devonian Period, its teeth and head were made of plates which it used to catch its prey, they were not for defence, but more for attacking/avoiding injury, similar to this, i believe that Kohikiis head, mandibles and antennae would be plated to avoid injury or damage while it hunts, especially to the antennae as it is completely blind and has to use them to sense its surroundings.

As for the bioluminescence, I find it interesting that Kohikiis apparently lower the brightness of their bioluminescence when hunting, which means kohikiis have Non-Visual photoreception meaning they can sense light levels without the need for eyes. Although it is surprising they would lower bioluminescence considering that in other sea creatures, bioluminescence is used to hunt, seen in Angler fish, some cuttlefish and specifically cookie-cutter sharks which attract things like squid using bioluminescence on their stomachs to then grab them. The bioluminescence on Kohikiis mandibles and teeth would likely be used in a similar way, to attract prey towards it, and suddenly grab them with the mandibles.

Now to move onto the last and arguably largest section, the rough biology of the anatomy of Kohikii

I will be going through this in colour order. (i meant to put Chitin instead of Keratin)

So, let's start with the cartilage and keratin of the Kohikii, kohikii would have to have cartilage in each fin and especially around the face and jaws, the antennules would be made up of a Chitin shell, like that of crustaceans and its spines be made of Chitin as well, however if we are specific to the fact that kohikii are partially based on Lionfish, then they would actually be made of a mineralised collagen-like material, however the spines on a lionfish are specialised to inject toxins which is why i believe they are more likely to be made of Chitin. Spines are usually made of bone or modified scales on fish, so on a kohikii it is likely to be made of modified scales.

red muscle is used for sustained, slow swimming and is rich in oxygen and mitochondria meaning it produces a lot of energy, white muscle is used for fast bursts of speed and pink muscle is an intermediate between the two, used for moderate swimming and sustaining fast swimming speeds. Kohikii is described as being a quick and speedy killer, meaning it likely has a large mass of white muscle, around its tails and main body, while still having red muscles, especially around the mandibles, jaw and front of the body.

The organs on a kohikii would likely be found closer to the front of the body (the larger, main organs anyway) like liver and stomach. What i find interesting is that kohikii is described as having a very fast metabolism, in nature, the lager the creature, the lower the metabolic rate, however for kohikii it is different, they are quite large creatures and yet have a high metabolic rate which could be caused by a number of things, these being how active a creature is, endothermy (keeping the body at a certain temperature), oxygen delivery, environment, and evolutionary trade-offs. Seeing as though kohikii is also described as having a bit of an insatiable hunger then they would be quite an active creature which could explain the high metabolic rate, but it does appear that the hunger is caused by the metabolic rate rather than the other way around. Endothermy could be another factor, kohikii could require itself to keep a specific internal body temperature which would require a lot of energy to maintain, it could also be due to kohikiis environment (however i do not know much of its environment and can only make assumptions). Meaning it is likely an evolutionary trade off, to be fast, strong and deadly, but require a lot of energy leading to high metabolism.

I believe that just about covers everything there is about kohikii, I am by no means an expert on this and a lot of this is personal opinions with research into existing sea life.

This was just a silly project that took me two days to complete, not sure which aquatic i will do next

Read post history as it broke

You don’t want to end up like

H I M

Lore: BBF-001(Big back flier) is a extremely heavy and evil raiquazok that has killed and tortured countless sonarians, being warped by the mistake of the wardens, and they were too ignorant to stop its growth till it became over the weight of a Opralegion, as corrosive as a noxiouk, the intelligence of a idrabark, and the bite of a meorlark. Also has a extremely high reaction time and is able to materialize out of thin air with the right conditions(such as a blood moon or fog at night, basically teleporting)
