Appearance
The Mustegaryx is a long and slender creature that resembles a Hatzegopteryx which is in itself a large pterosaur. Its head is shaped very akin to that of a giant skull, with black markings and tiny glowing eyes, and with huge moose-like antlers. The underside and top sections of its neck are covered in shaggy fur that are dark green to brown in colour. Its main torso looks malnourished, with its pale chest pointing outwards and forward and its crotch area appearing very flat-looking. Mustegaryx's wings are long and are tipped with 4 claws, 2 at the tips and 2 on bent fingers it uses to wing-walk with. The bottom sides of the wings have markings on them that seem to look like distorted eyes. Its legs are bony and slim that end with 2 4-toed feet with jagged claws that appear crooked. Its tail is slim and ends with a bushy tail tip. Mustegaryx has a piece of another creature's antler resting on its back.
Males
Males have a shard of Ardor Warden's mask, Noxulumen’s chain tassel and the chunk of Sang Toare's discolored horn on its body, as well as a crest on its face.
Females
Females have a shard of an Ouratum's coin, Ushrumesh’s horn and a piece of a Saikarie's mask resting on its body.
Abilities
Main Article: Creature Abilities
This section is intended to list and describe the abilities of the Mustegaryx. (editor list)
- Agile Swimmer is a passive ability that causes the player to receive the following buffs when submerged underwater for more than a second:
- 100% more stamina regeneration
- 50% more total stamina
- 75% more walk speed
- 75% more sprint speed
- A % increase in oxygen (oxygen increase percentage is based off the amount of oxygen the creature originally has)
Additionally, 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. Until they touch the ground or stop gliding, the boosted stamina amount will remain.
- Bleed Block/Block Bleed is a percentage based passive ability that grants the user resistance to getting bleed status from melee attacks at minimum. If an attacker deals 5 bleed per hit and the receiver has 60% Block Bleed, then the receiver gets only 2 of that 5 bleed. This ability is gained gradually as the creature ages. If a creature's Block Bleed is 100%, then they are immune to Bleed inflicted by melee direct attacks once fully grown. If a creature's Block Bleed is negative, it may indicate an extra vulnerability to the status effect.
- Frostbite Block/Block Frostbite is a passive ability that grants the user resistance to getting frostbite 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 frostbite per hit and the receiver has 60% block frostbite, then the receiver gets only 2 of that 5 frostbite.
- Injury Block/Block Injury is a passive ability that grants the user resistance to getting Injury status from melee attacks at the very least. 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.
- Charge (Throw) or Throw Charge is a specific type of Charge that launches the target upwards and inflicts two Broken Legs Status on the victim. It has a 5-second windup and cooldown.
- Diver is a passive ability that grants the user the ability to temporarily keep flying underwater for a short period of time while retaining their diving speed. The exact period of time varies per creature.
- Egg Stealer is an active ability that allows creatures to steal eggs from the nests of other players. If a creature has this ability, eggs are also highlighted with an egg icon when scenting.
- First Strike is a passive ability that grants the user increased damage while they are above 75% health. The damage increase is depends on the creature and is reflected in its stat menu.
- Flight is an active ability pertaining to the special control Jump/Dart/Glide/Flight that is inherent to all Fliers. Creatures with a flight ability cannot jump and 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 life stage. Flying and takeoff both take stamina, but gliding does not. If a creature does not possess enough stamina, it cannot fly. A creature with flight can switch between flight and glide.
- Frosty is a passive ability that causes the user to receive +25% stamina regeneration, +25% health regeneration, -25% thirst depletion, and -25% hunger depletion during Winter and Famine. Additionally, it prevents getting hypothermia from blizzards.
- Glide is an active ability pertaining to the special control Jump/Dart/Glide/Flight and inherent to all gliders and glider semi-aquatics. Flier creatures have this ability as well, but can only be toggled by pressing (F on PC or
on Mobile) or the respective button on mobile after initializing flight. Creatures with glide ability cannot jump, unless it supersedes them via an age value. 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. - Grab is an active ability that allows the user to pick up a lower-tiered creature. Grabbed creatures cannot escape for 5 seconds. After that, the grabbed creature can struggle by pressing any button and will be released 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.
- 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.
- Iron Stomach is a passive ability that allows the user to eat rotten meat without getting negative ailments from it--preventing them from getting the Sickly Status.
- Quick Recovery is a passive ability that boosts HP regeneration when the user's health is below 40%. The lower the health, the higher the HP regeneration boost.
