Description
| “ | Olatua are very gentle and timid creatures. Due to the fact that they store faceted particles of the moon and stars, there is a legend that it thanks to them that the tides of water are controlled. These creatures are very fond of water, so they prefer to spend most of their time on the shore or in shallow water; Although sometimes they go deeper for more delicious food. | „ |

Appearance
The Olatua is a stoat-like, flexible, quadrupedal all-terrain creature. It has short legs with four dull-clawed fingers and an oceanic pattern with looping wave-like features that leave only its stomach, some parts of its tail, and the underside of its neck uncovered, which is an alternating coloration of blues with white-fringed tips, similar to oceanic waves. Its paws all have a golden star marking upon them. Its uncovered parts are golden, similar to sand. It has a small black pearl hovering above its tail tip. Its snout is short and rounded, with wide cutesy eyes and small nostrils, featuring dark golden sclera and bright yellow star-like pupils, two forward-facing short horns and a floating star between them.
Males
Males have spikes on their tail.

] ability 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).
- Area Water Restore is a ranged active ability that has a cooldown of 600 sec (10 min). Refreshes part of drinkable water sources quality in range.
- 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.
- Burn Block/Block Burn is a passive ability that grants the creature resistance to getting burn 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 burn per hit and the receiver has 60% block burn, then the receiver gets only 2 of that 5 burn.
- If a creature's block burn is 100%, then they are immune to Burn inflicted by melee direct attacks once fully grown. This ability is gained gradually as the creature ages, that is, a creature with 100% burn defense will have some fraction of burn defense while growing, being such fraction bigger as it grows.
- Frostbite Block/Block Frostbite is a passive ability that grants the creature 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Gale is an active ability that slows down nearby creatures' run/swim and sprint speeds by 25% and impacts their vision. Upon activation a translucid shockwave-like effect will appear and explode, only to contract a second later. Has a 90 second cooldown.
- 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.
- Quick Recovery is a passive ability that boosts HP regeneration when below a threshold.
- Water Breath is an active ability using the breath control (C on PC or
on Mobile) that is a type of Elemental Breath that inflicts 2 DPS (1% PER HIT). It has a Capacity of 10, a Regen Rate of 2.5, a Range of 220 studs, and has a Critical chance of 10%. It can also inflict the BlurredVision ailment (Probability = 60%, no stacking).
