Artist Headcanon
- Caldonterrus are incredibly territorial and claim whole volcanic regions to themselves.
- They lay their eggs in calderas, only hatching when the volcano erupts, whether it be 1 week or 1000 years later.
- Caldonterrus are nearly incapable of any emotions but rage—it is possible for one to experience other emotions, but it is rare.
- While seemingly carnivorous, they do not actually need to eat meat, but rather like the taste of it. Their energy comes from the magma on their backs.

Abilities
Main Article: Creature Abilities
This section is intended to list and describe the abilities of the Caldonterrus. (editor list)
- 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.
- Burn Block/Block Burn is a passive ability that grants the creature resistance to getting burn status from melee attacks at the very least, and every other source at most. It is percentage based, e.g. if an attacker deals 5 burn per hit and the receiver has 60% block burn, then the receiver gets only 2 of that 5 burn.
- If a creature's block burn is 100%, then they are immune to Burn inflicted by melee direct attacks once fully grown. This ability is gained gradually as the creature ages, that is, a creature with 100% burn defense will have some fraction of burn defense while growing, being such fraction bigger as it grows.
- Burn touch/Defensive burn is an ability that defensively deals burn when bitten. Stacks with itself.
- Fire Breath is an active ability using the breath control (C on PC or
on Mobile) that is a type of Elemental Breath that inflicts 1 DPS (0.5% PER HIT).

It can also inflict the Burn Status ailment (Probability = 75%, STACKS set to 0.2). This ailment adds a stacking effect, potentially increasing the damage over time. - Iron Stomach is a passive ability which allows the user to eat rotten meat without getting negative ailments from it - preventing getting the Sickly Status.

- Wing Shredder is a passive ability that allows a creature to offensively deal Shredded Wings status to a creature they bite, with an amount specific of the user creature.
