] ability 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Frostbite Block/Block Frostbite is a passive ability that grants the creature resistance to getting frostbite 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 frostbite per hit and the receiver has 60% block frostbite, then the receiver gets only 2 of that 5 frostbite.
- Charge (Gore) or Gore Charge is an specific type of Charge that inflicts Bleed Status and Deep Wounds on the victim.
- Frost Snare is an active ability that places an ice tether affecting all creatures within 50 studs of a user, dealing an initial 5 frostbite. Tethered creatures are trapped within Frost Snare's range and cannot leave until either 20 seconds have passed or the tether is broken. Tethers have 100 health and any damage dealt to them is restrained to 20–25 damage per bite, requiring a minimum of 5 or 4 hits to break. Being tethered also disables the abilities Grab and Latch until freed. It has a cooldown of 120 seconds.
- Frostbite Attack is an ability that offensively deals frostbite when biting. A negative value means that it heals an amount of such status upon biting.
- Frosty is a passive ability, equivalent to Legacy's Winter Tag, causes the creature with the tag to receive a buff of +25% stamina regeneration, +25% health regeneration, -25% thirst depletion, and -25% hunger depletion during Winter and Famine seasons, and prevents getting hypothermia from blizzards.
- Ice 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 has a Capacity of 10 seconds of firetime before recoil damage, a Regen Rate of 3.5, and a Range of 200 studs. Ice Breath can also inflict the ailment SLOWED (Probability = 40%, no stacking). - 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.
- Raider is a passive ability that allows creatures to enter and exit burrows, but not create them.

The Emphines (a(n) carnivore) is a tier 2 with 1500 lbs of weight and as long as it has the Grab Ability, it can pick up any creature of lower or equal tier with enough lighter weight difference.* There is no creature which the Emphines can currently carry
Grabbed-By ListThis section is intended to list the non-elder fully-grown adult creatures that can grab and thus carry a non-elder fully-grown adult Emphines taking into account grab/latch abilities and discounting special abilities. The Emphines (a(n) carnivore) is a tier 2 with 1500 lbs of weight and can be picked up by any creature of higher or equal tier with enough heavier weight difference and the Grab ability, as follows:[ Expand Collapse ] Carry-able by:
Can-Latch ListThis section is intended to list the non-elder fully-grown adult creatures that the non-elder fully-grown Emphines can latch into, but not carry; taking into account latch/grab abilities and discounting any other special ability.

The Emphines (a(n) carnivore) is a tier 2 with 1500 lbs of weight and can be latched onto by any creature of lower tier and enough lighter weight difference. However, carnivores and photocarnivores cannot be grabbed by herbivores and photovores, as follows:[

Trivia
- Original concept and redesign by aelures on the Creatures of Sonaria Discord.
- Inspired by a greyhound.
- The original model was made by NauticaElurra.
- The rigging of the model was done by Wolfragon.
- It was released alongside Vin'rou's remodel.
- Second redesign concept by retronintendo102.
- Second redesign model by yezzein.
- Despite the Emphines' description saying it's an arctic dweller, the former lack of the Winter Tag made it vulnerable to cold and hypothermia damage when entering water. This was later patched when Part 3 of the Winter Event of 2021-2022 begun.
- The Emphines and the Auraron have the same call #2 (friendly).
