Behavior

🧠 Creature Behavior

This section is intended to describe Glovaucus' headcanon behavior for role-play and general gameplay behavior, or behavior that is realistically expected of this creature, as confirmed by the creature's creator. It does not conflict with official lore, nor is actual lore canon, but still supersedes any behavior headcanon not stemming from the creator. For more information, see here.

• Glovaucus are very aggressive towards others that are not from their species.
• They prefer to swim in lava and hot springs instead of in actual water.
  • They hunt in packs of 3.
• Females of this species are known as "material gworls", as they like shiny things and will hunt creatures if they have anything shiny like crystals and gold.
• Their favorite prey is Galeostra; they favor hunting them because they believe Galeostras to be inferior to them.
• When a Glovaucus eats a fruit they fall asleep immediately for some reason.
• They like to bully Minawiis as they love the effect of Necro Poison.

Appearance

The Glovaucus is a quadrupedal creature with four main flipper-like appendages, the front of the two being larger than its hind flippers. Its body closely resembles that of a Blue Glaucus, having its overall shape as well as the creature's finned appendages. The Glovaucus's tail also has a finned end, resembling the aforementioned Blue Glaucus. More fin-like frills are present on its body, most noticeably in a set of three on both sides of its head. On top of its head, Glovaucus bears two sharp, triangular protrusions with thin, floating crystals behind them. On its head the Glovaucus has a row of spikes on each side, the same spikes being seen on its underside, below its neck, on its back and on the ridges of its wings. Its default palette consists of vibrant shades of orange and yellow, accompanied with darker brown and purples.

Males

Males have no additional features.

Females

Females have 2 shards floating above their horn, one short and one long.

Abilities

Main Article: Creature Abilities

This section is intended to list and describe the abilities of the Glovaucus. (editor 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 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.
• 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.
• Change Weather is an active ability which forces any current weather to change to a new type, including Thunderstorms and to a degree natural disasters. If a natural disaster is already happening, the ability cannot be activated. It can also "appear" to change the day/night cycle (in fact, it really doesn't) if it happens to be night and the ability triggers sunny weather. It cannot change a weather immediately after another Change Weather invocation. It can only be used by creatures with age 67 or higher and has a 600 second (10 minute) cooldown.
• 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. The wiki prepends to dart power a negative symbol ("-") to easily determine at a simple gaze that that creature's dart propels backwards.
• Burn touch/Defensive burn is an ability that defensively deals burn when bitten. Stacks with itself.
• Diver is a passive ability that grants a creature the ability to temporarily keep flying underwater for a short period. The exact period is displayed in the information section, in seconds. As a side effect, and probably due to buggy behavior, it sometimes allows the user of this ability to regain stamina underwater, particularly during violent winds.
• 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.
• 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.
• Volcanic is a passive effect which grants the creature the ability to walk in lava without getting hurt nor suffering its status debuffs, and during Famine and Drought grants a 50% health regeneration boost and 25% thirst and hunger rate reduction. Volcanic does not protect a creature from Shadow Isle's corrupted lava.
