~ In-game Description |
Behavior
- The Auraron has a similar hunting style to a crocodile: sitting in the water, waiting until something comes by, and brutally drowning the prey.
Appearance
Auraron is a long salamander-like creature with patches of bioluminescence reminiscent of a sea slug. It has a somewhat slender, pointed head that looks similar to a shark, most notably the great white. Its mouth contains sharp white teeth and a light blue tongue. Its body has 6 bioluminescent stripes that go along the sides of it. It has tough, scaly armor on its back, along with multiple large spikes upon its back, similar to the green iguana. It has 'anglers' on its head, with glowing tips.
Males
Males present 3 extra lures under their chin, similar to a lizard's dewlap.
Females
Females present instead 3 similar lures protruding from the back of their necks and on top of their heads.
Abilities
Main Article: Creature Abilities
This section is intended to list and describe the abilities of the Auraron. (editor list)
- Agile Swimmer is passive ability, similar to legacy's Streamlined, which buffs the player when submerged underwater for more than a second, receiving the following buffs:
- 100% more stamina regeneration
- 50% more total stamina
- 75% more walk speed
- 75% more sprint speed
- 15% more oxygen, if the creature is a semi-aquatic; 180% more oxygen otherwise.
- Additionally, like with legacy Streamlined, a glider semi-aquatic (and an aqua-glider) can abuse of the extra stamina to increase the number of glide flaps it can perform from the water boosted, since until they touch the ground or stop gliding, the boosted stamina amount will remain.
- Note that since most of these are multipliers, creature incapable of naturally recovering stamina underwater do not get any stamina regeneration boost (as any fraction of 0 is still 0).
- Bleed Attack is a passive ability, where a creature offensively inflicts a specific amount of melee bleed status on a creature with every bite (not with breath/ranged abilities or reflecting abilities). A negative value means that it heals an amount of such status upon biting.
- Bleed Block/Block Bleed is a passive ability that grants the creature resistance to getting bleed status from melee attacks at the very least, and every other source at most. Recode's equivalent of bleed defense; it is percentage based, e.g. if an attacker deals 5 bleed per hit and the receiver has 60% bleed defense, then the receiver gets only 2 of that 5 bleed.
- If a creature's Block Bleed is 100%, then they are immune to Bleed inflicted by melee direct attacks once fully grown. This ability is gained gradually as the creature ages, that is, a creature with 100% Block Bleed will have some fraction of bleed defense while growing, being such fraction bigger as it grows.
- A negative value in-game may indicate an extra vulnerability to the status effect this ability is supposed to protect from.
- Dart is an active ability of the special control Jump/Dart/Glide/Flight, similar to ambush in terms of being a temporary speed boost that propels the creature forward, but restricted to water and usually far less stamina-consuming. All creatures capable of jump and with the proper semi-aquatic mobility type can dart when underwater. A creature cannot dart while strafing nor outside water, but a dart will become a jump if the impulse propels the creature outside water.
- Dart has an associated speed boost and stamina consumption for every creature. If there's not enough stamina, the creature cannot dart.
- Dazzling Flash is an activated ability that generates a quick, bright, white flash and causes nearby creatures to experience confusion tunnel vision and blurred vision. Has a 70-second cooldown.
- Grab is an active ability, the recode's equivalent of Legacy's creature "grab a lighter creature", allowing a creature to pick up a lower-tiered creature. Unlike legacy's, it has several pecularities, among them that grabbing is no longer based on weight, but tier. Another peculiarity is that grabbed creatures cannot escape until 5 seconds later. After that, the grabbed creature can struggle by using any button and will release such creature from the grab. The user can ungrab at any moment by pressing the same button used to grab. A creature darting from outside water will grab any creature it finds automatically. Interestingly enough, using this ability may also make a piece of grabbed food drop.
- Serrated Teeth is a passive ability which offensively inflicts Deep Wounds status when biting.
- Tail Whip/Secondary melee attack is an special active ability which grants another melee attack, usually from behind (thus, Tail Whip), which is activated according to where the camera is facing. Code-wise it has a secondary damage stat, which allows main and secondary melee attacks to deal different base damage. No offensive status effects are given from this secondary attack, and it is not boosted by most effects, except eldering.
