Description
| “ | Lures particularly enjoy dark areas such as deep water caves, land caves or night-time in general. These reptilian-like creatures sleep whenever they want and eat whatever they want with their strong stomachs, making them able to consume rotten carcasses. | „ |
| ~ In-game Description |
Behavior
- When underwater, Lures produce two kinds of light: one which only other Lures can see, and one that prey can see.
- While hunting underwater, Lures will use their tail lights to communicate with one another.
- Lures with the brightest glows are viewed as the strongest due to the blinding threat displays they are capable of.
- Lures have sturdy necks and heads, and will ram into more aggressive prey to incapacitate them.
Appearance
Lures are bioluminescent creatures that resemble a lizard or drake. On their bodies are several patterns that include stripes and spots, along with several spikes and horns that run along their face, chest, back, biceps, thighs, legs, and hindquarters. It seems to have a sort of dewlap on its neck. These creatures are roughly 3 Jeffs tall (counting the tall spikes on their lower body).
Males
Males have spikes on their chin and the base of their tail.
Females
Females have no additional features.
Abilities
Main Article: Creature Abilities
This section is intended to list and describe the abilities of the Lure. (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).
- 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.
- Charge (Gore) or Gore Charge is an specific type of Charge that inflicts Bleed Status and Deep Wounds on the victim.
- 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.
- Iron Stomach is a passive ability which allows the user to eat rotten meat without getting negative ailments from it - preventing getting the Sickly Status.
- Poison Attack/Melee Venom is a passive ability that makes a creature venomous by melee - that is, biting another creature will cause the victim to receive Poison Status, as much as the attacker has labeled on their stats and affected by modifiers such as some plushies or resistances. Stacks with itself. A negative value means that it heals an amount of such status upon biting.
- Spite is an active ability that increases a creature's next attack damage based on its power meter, which gradually fills and then drains to 0 if no creature is attacked by the user during this time. It also has a customizable percentage (%) of the creature's damage (the % listed is the max of said creature's Spite power). Alongside raw damage, the user inflicts double ailments on their targets. The ability has a 20-second cooldown that starts upon activation.
- Wing Shredder is a passive ability that allows a creature to offensively deal Shredded Wings status to a creature they bite, with an amount specific of the user creature.

Trivia
- Original concept by Artistep on the Creatures of Sonaria Discord.
- The Lure "took about a week to make up because I was super clumsy about what body shape or head i could give." (Quoted by concept creator Artistep)
- The Lure's name may be a reference to how some marine predators, especially those deeper down in the ocean, use bioluminescent parts to attract and assist in hunting prey. Examples include the anglerfish and the Stauroteuthis Syrtensis octopus.
- Redesign concept by icecreamNavacodo.
- Lure's redesign was inspired by glowsticks, deep sea creatures, and the original Lure design.
- Original model by Erythia.
- The Lure has light blue blood in legacy mode. Nowadays it's blood is red.
- Additionally, if killed, the Lure drops a light blue carcass in Legacy.
- 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; albeit not on this shade. However, it is more likely the color has been done as a way to explain its overall blue bioluminescence.
- In the customization menu there used to be a glitch that allowed players to color their Lure yellow as well as pink, but this was eventually patched.
- Its description says it can eat spoiled meat, but currently in the game it will take damage if it does, since even after Iron Stomach was added, that only removed the chances of getting the sickness ailment.
- There is a UGC item based off of Lure called the Lure Sword, which was on sale for
125 Robux. Made by TamBrush. [This item is currently offsale.] - All of the Lure's calls sound robotic, and some may say its spots seem robotic.
- Lure was one of the most popular creatures during the game's beta.
- The Lure is sometimes referred to by players as 'lizard' or 'protogen lizard'.
- The Lure is one of 5 creatures to have had its redesign decided on by the community via a public poll.
