This is the recode-only page for Creature Abilities. To read information about the legacy-only Creature Abilities, see Creature Abilities/Legacy.

Creatures of Sonaria has many unique abilities that a creature can hold. Due to how vastly different Legacy and Recode versions work, and how several of the same-named abilities behave in different ways and how even then some creatures do not share the same abilities between Recode and Legacy, the pages have been split off, and this page only contains Recode abilities. However, sometimes references between recode and legacy abilities may be made, both to contrast them and to help define such abilities even further.

Recode includes a myriad of old and new abilities, including some which were not considered as thus in Legacy, such as Grabbing/Latching and Ambush.

• To heal most status effects faster, all creatures can sit (x2 healing speed) or lay down (x4 healing speed). To speed up healing, creatures can wallow in mud or seek assistance from creatures with an ability that can heal.
• For a global list of Recode stats, including what and how much of each ability a creature has, you can go to Creature Stats List or Template:CreatureStatsListSortable.
• Some abilities are pretty straightforward and are just passively applying a certain status if attacking or attacked, while others are a bit more complex. While in Legacy this is as true as with Recode, due to the Help Index it is far more obvious on the latter. Because of that, the first type of ability will be listed as a subsection of their own ailment, as well as directly-related resistances (or Blocks).
• Many Legacy abilities present in Recode were renamed or tweaked significantly.
• While the ability cooldown seconds are real-life seconds, the stack "seconds" for status effects that use those like a countdown are not necessarily a real-life second - for example, as of 5^th April 2025, 1 "second"/stack of Muddy scent lasts 3 real-life seconds, the same as 1 stack of Escape Area Status or 1 stack of Speed Blitz Status. However, for the sake of simplicity and because that stack second real-time length may be modified at any time by the development team, we will call those seconds.

Adrenaline

Adrenaline is an active ability which gives 10 stacks (30 seconds) of adrenaline, it increases movement speed by 25% and damage by 20% but disables stamina regeneration while active.

Agile Swimmer

Agile Swimmer is a 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
• A % increase in oxygen (oxygen increase percentage is based off the amount of oxygen the creature originally has)

Additionally, like with legacy Streamlined, a glider semi-aquatic (and an aqua-glider) can abuse 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.

Creatures with this ability: 84. Click to toggle.

Ambush

Ambush is a recode-only ability, inheritor of the Ambush control in Legacy, and thus shares some similarities to it. Ambush can be toggled by pressing (not holding) the correct active ability key (which may vary between creatures). It will automatically deactivate after a set period of time, after stamina runs out, or after halting movement, whichever happens first.

Like legacy ambush, recode Ambush ability allows a temporary speed boost according to an ambush multiplier inherent to the species (e.g. x 1.5 or x 1.25), usually granting a faster Sprint (except when the multiplier is x1.0 or lower). It will not be stopped by entering or leaving water once initiated; but at a higher stamina cost and a possible decrease in turn speed, directly making a creature unable to turn while ambushing. Similar to legacy, a creature can know if ambush is toggled not only from the evident speed boost while moving, but because when pressing the activation button, the camera FOV zooms out a tiny bit. Ambush can be used while sprinting.

However, unlike Legacy ambush, pressing the appropriate key again will not stack max time and stamina consumption, and can be initiated underwater by creatures with the appropriate mobility type (however, it still keeps the Legacy characteristic of keeping creatures not adapted to water from initiating ambush underwater). Additionally, Ambushing disrupts strafing.

Area Food Restore

Area Food Restore is a ranged active ability with a cooldown of 600 sec (10 min) which refreshes food sources (and stomachs) in range. Does not work on eggs from inside a nest.

Area Water Restore

Area Water Restore is a ranged active ability that has a cooldown of 600 sec (10 min). Refreshes part of drinkable water sources quality in range.

Ashy Lungs

Ashy Lungs is a status effect which applies a 20% stamina regeneration debuff. It is applied as a secondary effect of Burn Status, as well as during some Environmental Disasters. They could also be found as either an offensive or a defensive stat of a creature, but so far, no creature actually deals this status directly, only as a result of burn.

Bad Omen

Bad Omen is a status effect that applies 3 Tunnel Vision, and reduces a creature's health regeneration by 25%. Once all stacks of the Bad Omen status effect are healed, any one of the following status effects may be inflicted:

• 5 Frostbite status
• 8 Burn status
• 10 Bleed status
• 4 Blurred Vision
• 5 Corrosion status
• 3 Confusion status
• 3 Disabled Spacebar + 3 Shredded Wings status
• 20 Disease status
• 10 Injury status
• 10 Necropoisonstatus
• 10 Poison status

Currently this status effect is offensively dealt by Cursed Sigil.

Berserk

Berserk is a passive ability that activates at below 20% health, which increases stamina regeneration by 100% and decreases bite cooldown by 50%

Creatures with this ability: 22. Click to toggle.

Bleed Status

Bleed/Bleed Status is the associated status effect which stops health regeneration and deals unconfirmed damage per second to the victim (meaning that from two creatures with identical bleed defense, the creature with the most health can endure bleeding for a far longer time before being crippled). Like poison, your HP cannot fall from this status if you are sitting or lying down while grievously injured (below 10% max health); but unlike it, depending on how you move and what pose you are using, the status effect may take longer to heal, with sprinting while affected by bleed preventing it from healing. Unlike legacy, however, the status effect will not be made worse by sprinting and will heal itself while walking, flying, or swimming. Stacks with itself. Having more of the status will deal more damage per second.

This status, or at the very least melee variants of it, are resisted according to the Bleed Block and Unbreakability abilities. Creatures with this status as melee: 169

Bleed Attack

Bleed Attack is a passive ability, where a creature 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.

Creatures with this ability: 150; go to Creature Stats List, go to Bleed Attack column, sort by Bleed Attack. Click to toggle.

Defensive Bleed

Defensive Bleed is a passive ability, where a creature defensively inflicts a specific amount of melee bleed status on an attacker upon getting bitten.

Creatures with this ability: 41; go to Creature Stats List, go to Defensive Bleed column, sort by Defensive Bleed. Click to toggle.

Block Bleed

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% Block Bleed, 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% bleed defense will have some fraction of bleed defense while growing, being such fraction bigger as it grows.

If a creature's Block Bleed is negative, it may indicate an extra vulnerability to the status effect. For example, a -100% Bleed Block may mean a creature takes twice the Bleed Status, and 80% or lower may indicate less punishing bleed received, et cetera.

Creatures with this ability: 338; go to Creature Stats List, go to Bleed Block column, sort by Block Bleed. Click to toggle.

Breath

Breaths are a unique mechanic, consisting of an elemental long range attack that can apply various ailments and damage towards the nearest creature on the breath's way, the target, with accurate collisions scripted in an entirely new way compared to Sonar Studios' previous game, Dragon Adventures.

To use breaths, press and hold the C key on PCs or press the breath icon on mobile devices (see Controls).

• To aim the breath, PC users can move their mouse in the designated direction. As for mobile devices, turn the creature's head in the designated direction.
• The breath ability cannot be used until becoming an adult model. While this usually happens at age 67, reaching age 67 and model growth change are NOT the same, and unlike legacy gameplay, both requirements always need to be met: a creature managing to reach age 100 and not growing the creature model (f.ex. because of being in a no-grow zone) may benefit from improved adult stats, but will not unlock the breath until the creature model changes accordingly.
• HP damage is applied according to the following formula, which means it will deal at least half of the DPS on the target.

${\displaystyle final Damage=\frac{Breath DPS \cdot (1 + User Weight/Target Weight)}{2}}$

• If a breath has a Chain stat, the percent value of final damage dealt per stack will increase. For example, if Chain is 2, one stack is 2% additional damage, two stacks is 4%, three is 6%, etc., until reaching a limit to the chain stack, "ChainMaxStacks".
• Capacity: breaths have their own breath bar independent of stamina that depletes over time as breath is used (available breath is indicated on violet) and gradually recharges when not in use after a set time has passed, "regen rate" time, in seconds.
  • If a breath bar depletes fully and the user keeps firing it, then such user will start to take recoil damage and will need far more time for the breath to recharge to non-harmful levels (indicated by violet flashes on the edge of the screen). Some breaths may run out of breath bar rather quickly than the other.

Current elemental breath variants that have been announced are those listed below, but that does not mean the list cannot change in the future, and more may be added as well. There are currently 120 creatures with breath. Please note that due to simplification, creatures with similar abilities working through the same button are also categorized as Elemental.

Current breath types:

Note: unless told otherwise the breath is native, not equipped. Note 2: unless told otherwise, the damage numbers are percentages. For example, 0.25 DPS means 0.25% (of your creature's base damage) DPS on the opponent.

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. A negative value may indicate that the creature is vulnerable to burn effects, example being, if a creature has -100% block burn, then it will receive twice the damage from the status or gains the status effect more.

Burrower

Burrower is an active ability that allows the creature to place up to 4 (or a specific creature limit) burrows anywhere on the map, and use other burrows from other creatures.

A creature cannot place a burrow entrance inside its own burrow or inside someone else's burrow. Sometimes some creatures can place on certain areas one-way entries, which can lead to making a burrow prison. There is a 3 second cooldown between entering and exiting burrows, not including entering after its initial placement.

Block Disease

Disease Block/Block Disease is a passive ability that grants the creature resistance to getting Disease 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 Disease per hit and the receiver has 60% Block Disease, then the receiver gets only 2 of that 5 Disease.

If a creature's Block Disease is 100%, then they are immune to Disease inflicted by melee direct attacks once fully grown. This ability is gained gradually as the creature ages, that is, a creature with 100% Block Disease will have some fraction of Disease defense while growing, being such fraction bigger as it grows.

Diver

Diver is a passive ability that grants a creature the ability to temporarily keep flying underwater for a short period while retaining their diving speed underwater (hence the name Diver). The exact period is displayed in the information section, in seconds.

Egg Stealer

Egg Stealer is an active ability that allows certain creatures to actively interact with the interact buttons with nests in order to eat the eggs from the nest , stealing them as edible food to consume later. Creatures with this ability must break open the egg to eat them, via biting. A creature may know how close is to open the egg by the amount of cracks covering it. Once an egg is open, its label will change to "scrambled" and its yolk will be open for being eaten. Taking an egg will make the respective nest progress for that egg reset to 0, and can only be recovered if a female creature recovers the not-scrambled egg and places it back on their nest. When an egg is returned to the nest, its health is restored to full . Egg stealers can get satiated when consuming the stolen egg / eggs. Only creatures with this ability can consume such eggs. If a creature has this ability, eggs are also highlighted with an egg icon when scenting. You can no longer steal your own eggs.

Healing Hunter

Healing Hunter is a toggleable active ability which allows the creature to deal healing melee hits which replenish the target's HP when hitting. Code-wise it's more than the Negative Attack legacy version, since it does not just give a negative base attack value, hence the name; but it also allows the healer to toggle between melee heal mode and attack mode, when the healer becomes actually capable of dealing melee damage, albeit at a different value according to their individual and species stats. It also prevents bleed and poison-booster plushies from giving extra offensive bleed or poison when hitting under melee healing mode.

It can be known if a healing hunter creature is on healing mode by the presence of a pink hollow sphere with pink healing cross particles surrounding part of their body.

Invisibility

Invisibility is an active ability which by pressing the proper ability button, the creature can turn from visibility to invisibility (however on your side you emit a small inner glow that helps you into spotting yourself; and you can be spotted by the footprint trail you leave, aberrations in water reflections, disruption effects on the grass, sounds, and Keen Observer, and sometimes scent) and vice versa. On mobile, players can press "Use Ability". Unlike Legacy version, Invisibility is far stronger, allowing the user to walk and swim cloaked as long as they don't bite, use any active ability, sprint, ambush, or move during jump, dart, fly or glide, when they will become visible; and while active it hides the creature from being spotted by scent and cannot be activated if the creature is laying down (which doesn't mean the creature cannot just activate the ability beforehand and then remain invisible). On the other hand, recode invisibility slows the user slightly, and has a 30 seconds cooldown between activation triggers, meaning that while an invisible creature can switch to visibility immediately by pressing the button or meeting the criteria mentioned beforehand, such creature cannot activate invisibility too fast, needing to wait. This cooldown counts time between moments of activation, not between deactivation and the next activation, so if a creature had been cloaked for long enough and suddenly they lose the cloak, they can reapply it immediately.

Jump/Dart/Glide/Flight

Jump/Dart/Glide/Flight are a special set of active abilities bound to the same control key (Space on PC), instead of the common active ability buttons.

Dart

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.

Creatures with this ability: 91. Click to toggle.

Flight

Flight is an active ability pertaining to the special control Jump/Dart/Glide/Flight and inherent to all Fliers and legacy mobility type All-Terrain creatures have this ability. However, due to the fact all-terrain got absorbed into Flier, this means that with purely recode terminology, only fliers have the ability. Creatures with flight ability as dominant cannot jump per se (only with jump superseding flight if jump has a certain jump age value), they instead enter flight or glide mode - however some creatures may also present the jump ability replacing the flight one as the dominant at some point in their live stage (basically, a creature cannot fly unless they've reached Teen stage). Flying and takeoff both take stamina. If there's not enough stamina, the creature cannot fly. A creature with flight can switch between flight and glide and vice versa without that switch costing stamina.

Creatures with this ability: 103. Click to toggle.

Glide

Glide is an active ability pertaining to the special control Jump/Dart/Glide/Flight and inherent to all gliders and glider semi-aquatics have this ability as primary. However, due to the fact glider semi-aquatics got absorbed into Semi-Aquatics, the correct recode terminology would be to say that all Gliders and a few Semi-Aquatics and Aquatics have this ability as primary. Flier (and all-terrain) creatures have this ability as well, but the Jump/Dart/Glide/Flight button is not their primary, but the toggle glide button. Creatures with glide ability cannot jump per se, they instead enter flight or glide mode, unless jump supersedes them via some jump age value. If there's not enough stamina, the creature can hardly glide. Depending on some creature factors like tier and glide stamina regeneration, as well as some environmental conditions, a creature can or cannot regain stamina while gliding.

To simplify it, Pressing glide button (F on PC or on Mobile) while gliding as a glider, semi-aquatic glider or aquatic glider disables or enables gliding, while pressing it as a pure flier will change flight to glide mode and vice versa, with glide mode being activated by default vai this method if the creature was not flying nor gliding (f.ex. they were on the ground or on free fall).

Creatures with this ability: 130. Click to toggle.

Jump

Jump is an active ability pertaining to the special control Jump/Dart/Glide/Flight and inheritor of the Early Legacy Release jump ability (an ability which never made it past Legacy's Early Release), by pressing space allows a creature to project a parabolic trajectory jump on land, thanks to recode's realistic gravity, and based on the creature's inertia at the time of the jump. However, creatures can turn during jumping, and sometimes running at the same time of the trajectory allows for a limited trajectory correction. If a semi-aquatic (or all-terrain/flier with semi-aquatic characteristics) creature with Jump starts swimming and tries to jump, they will Dart instead. Not all creatures have this ability, even if their mobility type is compatible. Jump has an associated speed boost, stamina consumption (and below that threshold a creature will be unable to jump), and age limit for every creature. Beyond that age limit, a creature will be unable to jump - that field is commonly used for creatures which will develop Glide or Flight on a later growth stage. In fact, if on our infoboxes only appears a jump age stat, that means that the creature has actually jump 0 (no jump) and on the stage that jump supersedes Glide or Flight, it is equivalent as to being unable to jump nor flight nor glide.

Keen Observer

Keen Observer is a passive ability that allows the user to see the health of nearby creatures as a green HP bar over them. It also includes the ability to see equipped Plushies and all the Traits and status effects affecting them, albeit not their exact levels or ascension directly. Temporary or status buffs are set on green, temporary status debuffs on red, traits now present their correct indicator and plushies are marked with their plushie icon. These have several advantages, from knowing who to protect, knowing if someone is suffering hypothermia/hunger/dehydration, spotting invisible and scent-hidden creatures, to knowing which target is the weakest/most debuffed and acting in consequence.

Latch/Grab

Latch (and grab) are two sides of a similar active ability, Recode's version of Legacy's creature grab, only that now these abilities seem separated between grabbing and latching into.

Grab

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 peculiarities, 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.

Latch

Latch is an active ability, the recode's equivalent of Legacy's creature "grab a heavier creature", allowing a creature to latch onto a higher-tiered creature. Unlike legacy's, it has several peculiarities, among them that latching is no longer based on weight, but tier. Another peculiarity is that creatures that the latcher has latched into cannot escape until 5 seconds later. After that, the grabbed creature can struggle by pressing any button and will release such creature from the grab. The user can unlatch at any moment by pressing the same button used to latch in the first place.

Necropoison Status

Necropoison Status is a status effect inheritor of legacy's Necro Poison, and will cause color inversion, confusion, tunnel vision, and other ailments that will end up damaging the creature and make it lose the sense of direction. It will also block the use of normal active abilities (Controls 1 through 6) when Necropoison is at a stack of 10 or higher. Unlike legacy version, does not get worse over time unless the creature is actively healing it. The levels follow as:

• First level, Causes pink color tint. (1-18)
• Second level, causes inverted controls (confusion). (18-Unknown)

Necropoison Attack

Necropoison Attack is a passive ability that makes a creature necro-venomous by melee - that is, biting another creature will cause the victim to receive Necropoison Status, as much as the attacker has labeled on their stats and affected by modifiers such as some plushies or resistances.

Block Necropoison

Block Necropoison is a resistance against the Necropoison Status that reduces the amount of status absorbed and damage dealt by it when accumulating this status.

Poison levels of stamina debuff are directly proportional to their level - that is, poison level 11 will deal 11% stamina regeneration debuff. After a certain level, stamina regeneration will be depleted as well.

Creatures with melee poison of any kind are called Poisonous.

While this is in effect, a white glowing shield will appear as an indicator of the effect in action, and will disappear around 2 seconds after the on-screen status disappears. This will NOT reflect ailments or ailments from breaths and special active abilities, only ailments from melee offensive attacks are blocked. Interestingly enough, at the moment this sattus reflects healing partially as damage, meaning that if a creature has Healing Hunter 83, the creature being healed which has reflect status will still be healed 83 HP while the healing hunter will also sufffer 83 damage.

It inflicts a 20% increase on Hunger Depletion Ratio, a 20% increase on Thirst Depletion Ratio, a 20% reduction on stamina regeneration, and a 20% reduction on health regeneration. Originally, the Sickly effect could still deplete its stacks even while the sick creature is moving, but nowadays that is no longer the case.

The Sickly Status effect is similar to the Disease Status.

Snow Shield

The Snow Shield ability creates a large, protective dome around the user and will not disappear until the creature presses the same ability button to disable it, until the user leaves or the creature menues, until someone manages to break the shield with enough bites, or until the creature dies. Whilst the Snow Shield ability is activated, the creature's hunger and thirst will drain thrice faster. Upon initial activation of the ability, the user will not be able to create another dome for another 5 minutes.

As long as the Snow Shield is up, no directly-applied physical attacks can easily reach those inside the Snow Shield (unless an attacker worms their head into the Snow Shield). Elemental breaths and radius-based abilities that inflict status effects can still affect users inside a Snow Shield such as Earthquake, Glacier Breath, Radioactive Totem, Radiation, and so on.

After the tail is dropped, it becomes equivalent to a player carcass (but with natural carcass icon and effects) and gives you meat (and also vegetables, if it comes from a Photovore or Photocarnivore).

Warden's Rage

Warden's Rage, unlike legacy version, is an active toggleable ability that grants the user an increase in damage capabilities according to how much hurt they are, HP-wise, with a status effect called Warden's Rage. This ability only appears once the creature has reached maturity (that is, adult stage, age 67, unless something blocks the model growth like being inside a too small cave), and like invisibility, it can be deactivated anytime but has a 30 seconds cooldown between activation triggers. However if it is disabled mid-combat, while the halo effect will disappear, the status effect will remain until next reactivation and may allow for extra damage stacking in a buggy behavior.

• During Warden's rage:
  • Stamina Regeneration gets doubled.
  • Passive health regeneration is disabled.
  • Attack damage is multiplied by (7.5 x WardenStrength) + 1 (where WardenStrength goes from 0 at 100% HP to 1 at 50% HP and below. This means that in the range of 100% it deals base damage, while steadily increasing until it hits its peak of 8.5x damage, and stays at that 8.5x peak from 50% to 0%. Take note that the wardens' damage increase can be low when attacked with low damage attacks. Be aware of low tiers with low damage but with high status effects.
  • The color of the halo, unlike legacy, is kept the same cyan tone, and no particles occur.
