Description
| “ | Oxytalis are extremely rare, only being found in the deep depths of the jungle, where it lies in wait using its ability to grow flowers to lure unsuspecting prey, earning the name "The Fatal Beauty." Since Oxytalis have no mouth, once killed, it ensnares it's prey in a tangle of thorns in which it uses to drain the blood that solely feeds on. | „ |
| ~ In-game Description |
Behavior
- The Oxytalis is smart and possess basic problem-solving and ambush abilities, but comparable to a reptile's, not a mammal.
- Its intelligence level does not prevent these creatures from being able to make small beads, kinda like how spiders can make complex webs but are not tremendously intelligent.
- Oxytalis are quite solitary and lack any empathy.
Appearance
The Oxytalis is a quadrupedal beast with some resemblance to a rose, having strong forelegs/arms and bird-like rear legs. Its default colors consist of dark green, red, and white, with the main body being mostly dark green. Its head is shaped like a sunflower seed, with a beak-like mouth pointing downwards and two uncanny eyes, giving it a mask-like appearance. Around its head are petal-like frills with stemy thorns between them. Thorns of various sizes can be seen on its short, thick neck, shoulders, and knees. On its back are three pairs of leaf-like wings, the largest pair being higher up on the back and decreasing in size until the last pair lower down. The Oxytalis has a long cape-like structure between the wings, ending into six tail-like strips with spiny tips. The cape itself has an intricate design, including two upside-down hearts with what looks like thorns sticking out of their heads, and another one upright where the six splits begin. Its forelegs seem to have bloodstained markings, the darkest markings being at the hands, which have round spiny fingers/toes and hooked claws. It also has a white heart-like marking on both wrists. Its rear legs are stout and appears to have anisodactyl spiny feet with curved talons. Additionally, hanging down from the bottom of its head petals, neck, and between its fingers are jewelry-like accessories decorated with beads and ending in what looks to be a shape of an upside-down heart.
Males
Males have no additional features.
Females
Females have extra jewelry-like accessories hanging from the thorns at the base of their neck, with one hanging from the largest thorn and two connecting between the other thorns.
Abilities
Main Article: Creature Abilities
This section is intended to list and describe the abilities of the Oxytalis. (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.
- 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.
- Injury Block/Block Injury is a passive ability that grants the creature resistance to getting Injury 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 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.
- Day/Night Time Status are an environmental status effect that confers a +5% damage, +25% stamina regen, -10% growth time, +15% health regen; and -5% damage, -25% stamina regen, -15% health regen; respectively, to photovores and photocarnivores.
- Invisibility is an active ability which by pressing the proper ability button, the creature can turn from visibility to invisibility (however on your side you emit a small inner glow that helps you into spotting yourself; and you can be spotted by the footprint trail you leave, aberrations in water reflections, disruption effects on the grass, sounds, and Keen Observer, and sometimes scent) and vice-versa. On mobile, players can press “Use Ability". Unlike Legacy version, Invisibility is far stronger, allowing the user to walk and swim cloaked as long as they don't bite, use any active ability, sprint, ambush, or move during jump, dart, fly or glide, when they will become visible; and while active it hides the creature from being spotted by scent and cannot be activated if the creature is laying down (which doesn't mean the creature cannot just activate the ability beforehand and then remain invisible). On the other hand, recode invisibility slows the user slightly, and has a 30 seconds cooldown between activation triggers, meaning that while an invisible creature can switch to visibility immediately by pressing the button or meeting the criteria mentioned beforehand, such creature cannot activate invisibility too fast, needing to wait. This cooldown counts time between moments of activation, not between deactivation and the next activation, so if a creature had been cloaked for long enough and suddenly they lose the cloak, they can reapply it immediately.
- 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.
- Life Leech is an active ability that allows the user to heal themselves for a certain percentage (%) of damage done to other players while the ability is active.
- Mud Pile is an active ability which allows a creature to place a mud pile that lasts 60 seconds. Creatures can wallow in the mud to gain healing Muddy Status and gain unscentable status for 90 seconds.
- Radiation is a toggleable (ON/OFF) area-of-effect (AOE) ability that funnily enough, does not give off Radiation Sickness status, but Corrosion status, towards nearby creatures, and the severity of the corrosion received is determined by proximity from the creature. It can go from the base damage indicated on the creature labels (usually 0.25) per tick from afar to twice that value (0.5) per tick around mid-range, and finally going to a thrice the original value (0.75) per tick when close.
- A creature emmiting radiation can be spotted by a green spherical glow around their body center.

Trivia
- Concept by PineStraww and CatasticalCalamity in the Creatures of Sonaria Discord.
- Upon its release, the Oxytalis had borrowed the In-game Description of Empiterium.
- When using the Invisibility after activating the Radiation ability, you can still see a glowing, yellow-colored transparent forcefield, similar to when Vaumora activates its Shock Area ability.
