Description
| “ | Galeostra are calm beasts, venturing around Sonaria's oceans. Very rarely are they seen and most often during an aurora or while a meteor shower is happening. Despite being big they have fragile skin and rely on a potent poison to protect themselves; Even just touching them can cause severe irritation. | „ |
| ~ In-game Description |
Behavior
- Galeostra are neutral creatures and couldn't care less about the shoals of fish they attract with their flickering lights.
- Galeostra are not great parents and often lose their babies while traveling. Despite this, many of the babies end up making it to adulthood.
- Galeostra are surprisingly good at breaching and are often mistaken for shooting stars. They can flicker their lights in patterns and even communicate with each other using this method.
- The second Galeostra are born they start eating a wide variety of poisonous flora, even though it provides little to no sustenance for them.
- They like to wander the twilight zone of Sonaria's oceans in search of some of their favorite food.
Artist Headcanon
- Despite being photovores (Only lore-wise, in-game mechanics they are herbivores), Galeostra actually eat a lot of plant life; it is unknown why they do this.
- Galeostra are like oobleck: hit them hard and it's like hitting a wall, but just tap them and they're squishy.
- Galeostra are surprisingly good at breaching and are often mistaken for shooting stars. They can flicker their lights in patterns and even communicate with each other using this method.
- The reason Galeostra eats a wide variety of poisonous flora is to gain near immunity to poison and become poisonous themselves.
- A favorite food of Galeostra is an extremely poisonous twilight mushroom found in the twilight zone of Sonaria's oceans. This mushroom can even affect the color of some Galeostra, turning them purple or pink.
Appearance
Galeostra is a six-limbed gastropod creature with a very strong resemblance to its inspiration, the Glaucus atlanticus. As such, it has six main "leg" appendages, from which multiple cerata and fingerlike appendages stem, and smaller versions of these tendrils protruding from the snout and tail. Unlike its inspiration, its longest tendrils do not protrude from the extremities, but from the shoulders and base of the tail. Its ventral area and tail are not only coated with a slime-like effect, created by reversing visible faces on some parts, but are also decorated with a dotted-star bioluminescence.
Galeostra has no gender dimorphism.
Abilities
Main Article: Creature Abilities
This section is intended to list and describe the abilities of the Galeostra. (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.
- Block Poison/Poison Block is a passive ability that grants resistance to poison status once they reach max age (100). Like many other block defenses, it works by blocking a percentage of the ailment received. If a creature's Poison Block is 100%, then they are immune to those stats (and will be healed instantly if they are somehow applied) once they reach age 100.
- 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.
- Defensive Poison/Melee Toxin is a passive ability that makes a creature toxic by melee - that is, being bitten by another creature will cause the attacker to receive Poison Status, as much as the bitten creature has labeled on their stats and affected by modifiers such as some plushies or resistances. Stacks with itself.
- 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.
- Reflect is an activated ability which has a cooldown of 45 seconds. Upon initial use, it will grant the user 2 stacks of Reflect Status.

Trivia
- Concept by Xhosa_Onkai in the Creatures of Sonaria Discord.
- The Galeostra was inspired by the blue glaucus and stars.
- This inspiration can be seen not only in its design, but in its lore and stats as well, since the blue glaucus is also poisonous to touch.
- The Galeostra was inspired by the blue glaucus and stars.
- Modeled by JaxonBirb.
- Wolfragon had begun modeling the Galeostra long before it was properly unveiled, but this older model was scrapped.
- Animations by Rook (mishazhirov).
- Galeostra was said to come out on October 14th, 2022, but due to how long it would take to get everything ready, the developers pushed its release date to October 15th, along with the Bazelii.
- The Galeostra has dark blue blood in Legacy.
- Due to this, when killed on Legacy, the Galeostra drops a blue carcass.
- This is an actual color in some Earth creatures, from those that use hemocyanin, a blue oxygen carrier that replaces hemoglobin in some invertebrate's blood.
