Appearance
The Gloracus is an armored quadrupedal creature with several blue-and-brown fins sprouting from its head (5 cephalic fins), torso (3 dorsal fins, 1 pair of pectoral dosal fins near the shoulders, 1 pair of ventral fins), front legs (2 pairs stemming from their distal forearm near the wrists), and tail base (two pelvic fins and the fouth dorsal fin), along with finned front whiskers. The tail ends of a big three-lobed caudal fin and sports a small group of fins walfway through (the fifth dorsal fin and the third pair of ventral fins). The dorsal areas and sides of torso and neck are covered in fish-like plates, which seem to develop into scaled protrusions on the upper sides of the torso (3 plates) and the base of the pointed head and neck (three pairs of small serrated protrusions). The head also sports an elongated and thin pair of mammalian ears and two small cheek protection plates.
It mostly consists of shades of brown with hints of beige and blue colors.
Males
Males have two extra whiskers on their snouts.
Females
Females have two extra ventral fins protruding from the sides of theirs stomachs, behind the regular first ventral pair.

] ability list:- Agile Swimmer is 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
- 15% more oxygen, if the creature is a semi-aquatic; 180% more oxygen otherwise.
- 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.
- Note that since most of these are multipliers, creature incapable of naturally recovering stamina underwater do not get any stamina regeneration boost (as any fraction of 0 is still 0).
- 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.
- Injury Block/Block Injury is a passive ability that grants the creature resistance to getting Injury 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 Injury per hit and the receiver has 60% Injury Block, then the receiver gets only 2 of that 5 Injury.
- 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.
- 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.
- Charge (Power) or Power Charge is a specific type of Charge that temporarily increases the user's damage slightly and inflicts Shredded Wings on the victim.
- Dazzling Flash is an activated ability that generates a quick, bright, white flash and causes nearby creatures to experience confusion tunnel vision and blurred vision. Has a 70-second cooldown.
- Harden is an active ability which decreases movement speed by 20% in trade of a 35% increase in weight and 25% increase in health regeneration. Does not affect turning rate or turning speed.
- Injury Attack is an ability that offensively deals injury status when biting. A negative value means that it heals an amount of such status upon biting.
- 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.
- 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".
- Strength In Numbers is a passive ability that confers a creature a 7% stamina regeneration boost and a 1.5% damage boost. This stacks according to how many creatures with the same ability and same species are nearby. If there are no other users of this ability nearby, it won't provide that boost.

Trivia
- Designed by Reptilez (a.k.a Reptilez_Bugs) on the Creatures of Sonaria Discord.
- The concept creator of Gloracus claims to not really remember where they drew inspiration from for Gloracus, it was pretty much trial and error that led to Gloracus. However, they do remember Gloracus was somewhat inspired by a rhino or something similar to that of a rhino.
- The Gloracus' name and appearance may be a reference to the word 'glaucous', meaning 'of a dull grayish-green or blue color'. Gloracus also seem to resemble the Paraceratherium, a species of hornless rhinoceros that lived during the Paleogene Period.
- Modeled by JaxonBirb.
- Redesign concept by MacRenee on the Creatures of Sonaria Discord.
- Redesign modeled by yezzein.
