Description
| “ | While these creatures come as a notably rare sight. Their presence alone has been said to sprout miles of clovers and small pink flowers, bringing life to unseen areas of the world. Clovilowper are so extremely rare that just finding enormous beds of overgrowth comes as an unusual occurrence. Finding even a single Clovilowper would bind your fate to good luck for a lifetime. | „ |

Artist Headcanon
- The Clovilowper's overall personality is playful; the happy-go-lucky type, but calm and gentle, especially to smaller creatures (who do not pose a threat) or plants.
- Clovers and flowers sprout wherever the Clovilowper walks; it nurtures plants.
Appearance
The Clovilowper is a quadrupedal jackalope-like creature with floppy ears. Its main body's default colors consist of different shades of green with a white underside. On its head are two large four-leaf clovers stacked on top of each other, acting like a hat, with a heart-shaped four-leaf white clover sprouting through the middle. More of these heart-shaped clovers are found across its body. The Clovilowper has two small black eyes with black eyeliner, a black nose, three pairs of whiskers, rabbit-like teeth, and a face that constantly smiles with pushed-up cheeks. The tips of its floppy ears are shaped somewhat like a heart. Long pairs of branch-like structures are seen on its back and base of the tail, most of which end with flowering heads of pinkish florets. Its neck has white fluff at the front and white spots on the sides. Light pink spots are also seen on its back, atop the hind legs, and tail. A cluster of large one-leaf clovers cover its back. The creature has four toes on each leg, with a green three-leaf clover marking on its upper front limbs and two white ones lower down. Its chest also has a big green three-leaf clover marking, surrounded by a larger white one. Additionally, three pink flowers with heart-shaped leaves decorate half of its long tail. A similar pair of flowers can be found at the ends of the structures on its back. The tail tip itself somewhat takes the shape of a three-leaf clover.
Males
Males have long antlers, with vine-like tendrils wrapped around them, sprouting from their heads, and a pair of long branch-like structures with flowering ends, similar to those on their back, sprouting from behind the ears.
Females
Females have shorter antlers and lack the additional pair of branch-like structures that males have.
Abilities
Main Article: Creature Abilities
This section is intended to list and describe the abilities of the Clovilowper. (editor list)
- 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 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.
- Broodwatcher is a passive ability that allows creatures to assist in the gestation of other player's eggs. It applies one stack of Gestation Buff to nearby creatures, which increases other creatures' egg gestation speed by 2.5%, and if speed was 0 then it will still provide some boost. The total buff any nesting species can receive is 5%, so only two Broodwatchers can be effective at any one time. Additionally, when sitting near a nest, the Broodwatcher gains 5 Defensive, which starts to decrease if they move.
- 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. Burrow entrances are two-way, so the exit can be accessed inside the burrow. If a creature places more entrances than the maximum allowed, the oldest burrow and exit will be replaced. 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.
- Charge (Launch) or Launch Charge is a specific type of Charge that inflicts a specific knockback and Confusion Status on the victim.
- Day/Night Time Status are an environmental status effect that confers a +5% damage, +25% stamina regen, -10% growth time, +15% health regen; and -5% damage, -25% stamina regen, -15% health regen; respectively, to photovores and photocarnivores.
- Earthquake is an active ability with a radius of 125 studs that applies 40 Injury, 4 Broken Legs, 4 Aftershock, and 1 Shredded Wings to all creatures within its range. Earthquake burns 25% of the user's stamina on activation and has a 300 second (5 minute) cooldown.
- 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.
- 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 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.
- Pack Healer is a pack-oriented passive ability. This passive ability allows you to boost the HP regen of your fellow packmates . It is because of this that creatures who have this ability are considered "Support creatures".
