Its tail, while small, is decorated in a small, peafowl-style plumage, with a single long feather sticking out of the middle.

Abilities
Main Article: Creature Abilities
This section is intended to list and describe the abilities of the Mordelium. (editor list)
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Flight is an active ability pertaining to the special control Jump/Dart/Glide/Flight and inherent to all Fliers and legacy mobility type All-Terrain creatures have this ability. However, due to the fact all-terrain got absorbed into Flier, this means that with purely recode terminology, only fliers have the ability. Creatures with flight ability as dominant cannot jump per se (only with jump superseding flight if jump has a certain jump age value), they instead enter flight or glide mode - however some creatures may also present the jump ability replacing the flight one as the dominant at some point in their live stage. Flying and takeoff both take stamina. If there's not enough stamina, the creature cannot fly. A creature with flight can switch between flight and glide and vice-versa without that switch costing stamina.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Yolk Bomb is an active ability available only after reaching adult stage that drops an egg directly below the user only when such creature is flying or gliding close enough to the ground, and not when it is on the ground or swimming. The egg explodes on contact with the ground and has a radius of 40 studs. All creatures within the range of the explosion receive knockback, 2 Slowed status, and 4 of the variable status effect specific to its type (e.g. frostbite, burn, etcetera). It has a cooldown of 30 seconds.
