50♂/500♀ Shooms.
Description
| “ | Despite their bright bioluminescence, these creatures take their hunting very seriously and will dim their glowing markings when after tricky prey. Hunts will occur often, as their hunger is almost endless. | „ |
| ~ In-game Description |
Behavior
- The Kohikii is likely to be pretty aggressive as parents, hunting violently to feed their young.
- Kohikii usually have 1-2 babies at a time.
- Kohikii are quick attackers and a speedy killer.
- The Kohikii is capable of taking hits - though usually will have killed its enemy before the enemy has had a chance to kill them.
- Kohikii's defenses are low, but for the above mentioned reason.
Appearance
The Kohikii resembles a mix between a bobbit-worm, the spotfin lionfish, and some horror movie worms. There is one pair of bobbit-worm-like pincers by its extended terminal mouth, two antenna-like appendages on top of its head and several shorter antenna appendages stemming from the bottom of its maxilar. It presents a body with a triple dorsal fin (with the first dorsal fin being the biggest, and the two others being slightly rounded and looking like a gear, with the second dorsal fin being connected to lateral-line protrusion folds), two huge pectoral fins stemming almost from the sides of the mouth, two smaller pelvic fins, an spiny anal fin aligned and symmetrical with the third dorsal fin, and on the distal part of the tail, small finlet-like protrusions and a 3-finned homocercal caudal vertical tail (with the first lower and upper fin pair being reduced to spiny rays, and the second fin pair being more open than the final, third caudal tail). Some bioluminescent diamond and plate-like details cover their bodies.
Males
Males lack any additional features.
Females
Females have extra barb-whiskers on top and below their mouth.
Abilities
Main Article: Creature Abilities
This section is intended to list and describe the abilities of the Kohikii. (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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
Carry-able Creatures
The Can-Carry lists features lists of creatures that Kohikii is carried by, can carry (grab), can latch, and can be latched by in RECODE. To see the lists and their toggles to view each, click on the collapsible text to the right of the table below, to Expand or Collapse the list.
Can-Grab ListThis section is intended to list the non-elder fully-grown adult creatures that the non-elder fully-grown Kohikii can grab and carry, taking into account if this creature has grab/latch and discounting any other special abilities. The Kohikii (a(n) carnivore) is a tier 4 and can carry any creature from any lower tier size, as follows:[Expand] Can 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 Kohikii taking into account grab/latch abilities and discounting special abilities. The Kohikii (a(n) carnivore) is a tier 4 and can be picked up by any creature with higher tier and the Grab ability, as follows:[Expand] Carry-able by:
Can-Latch ListThis section is intended to list the non-elder fully-grown adult creatures that the non-elder fully-grown Kohikii can latch into, but not carry; taking into account latch/grab abilities and discounting any other special ability. The Kohikii (a(n) carnivore) is a tier 4 and can latch onto any higher tier size.* There is no creature which the Kohikii can currently grab but not carry
Latched-By ListThis section is intended to list the non-elder fully-grown adult creatures that can grab but not carry (latch onto) the non-elder fully-grown Kohikii discounting special abilities. The Kohikii (a(n) carnivore) has 8000 weight and can be grabbed by any creature with sufficiently lower weight. However, carnivores and photocarnivores cannot be grabbed by herbivores and photovores, as follows:[Expand] Grab-able by:

Trivia
- Concept by Monstergurl22 in the Creatures of Sonaria Discord.
- The Kohikii was inspired by goblin sharks and bobbit worms.
- Previously, Kohikii was in the 50 hour Time Gacha, being replaced by Zwevealisk upon its release.
- The Kohikii, on release, was accidentally set as Herbivore and lacking its Serrated Teeth ability, while it was stated by Naut to be a carnivore. A soft-patch after the initial update fixed the diet and ability issue.
