| ~ In-game Description |
Behavior
- Very calm and social.
- Nyxasolyxs are very clumsy creatures, even when it comes to flying.
- Nyxasolyxs have very fragile horns.
- Nyxasolyxs like to file their nails on trees.

Appearance
The Nyxasolyx is a rather large, somewhat bear/dragon-looking creature. The Nyxasolyx possesses six limbs, four of them being 5-fingered arms, with the second pair less developed than the first, and a pair of legs ending in 4 fingers; and a long tail ending with a hollowed rhombus spike. The Nyxasolyx has large horns on its head, three pairs of antenna-like appendages jutting from below its jaw, on top of its torso (between the second arm and leg pair) and behind its thigh; and with spiked fins jutting from its snout, below its jaw, on the top of its neck and lower thorax and behind the ankles. Large floating rings adorn its body, specifically around the antenna and tail, but also decorating a huge eye-shaped ovoid ring located around its neck. Its colors consist of desaturated greens, turquoise, golds, white and pale yellows.
Males
Males have a floating diamond-like-structure surrounded by a crescent-moon-like decoration on their foreheads.
Females

Abilities
Main Article: Creature Abilities
This section is intended to list and describe the abilities of the Nyxasolyx. (editor list)
- 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.
- 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.
- Drowsy Area is an activated ability that causes those within its area of effect the drowsy status, slowing their bite speed by 35% and severely slowing them down in movement and turn speed. Has a 60-second cooldown.
- 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.
- Gold Breath is a type of Elemental Breath that inflicts 1 DPS (0.25% PER HIT). It has a Capacity of 25 seconds of firetime before recoil damage, a Regen Rate of 3 seconds a Range of 250 studs, and a Critical chance of 10%. Gold Breath can inflict the following ailments: BlurredVision (Probability = 60%, no stacking) potentially impairing the target's vision, and FREEZE (Probability = 10%, no stacking).
- Sonic Wings is a passive ability that allows the user to hover stationary in mid-air without consuming or regaining stamina.
