Description

“	These speedy little fellas are extreme opportunists. They can be found pestering local creatures, taking the chance to steal any food from them; even if it looks horribly inedible.	„

Behavior

🧠 Creature Behavior

This section is intended to describe Pierry's headcanon behavior for role-play and general gameplay behavior, or behavior that is realistically expected of this creature, as confirmed by the creature's creator. It does not conflict with official lore, nor is actual lore canon, but still supersedes any behavior headcanon not stemming from the creator. For more information, see here.

• Pierry will sometimes work together in robbing other creatures of their meals. Once the meal is acquired, they will then fight each other for it.
• Pierry pick on larger creatures since they can outrun/outmaneuver them.
• Because of their high impulsiveness and low intelligence, Pierry often find themselves in sticky situations.
• Pierry will eat anything even if it doesn't seem edible.
• The Pierry uses the large hand on its tail to transport portions of food that they would not be able to carry with their front arms.

Artist Headcanon

🎨 Artist Headcanon

This section is intended to describe Pierry's lore by the artist that has been deemed non-canonical as of this statement. To see officially-recognized lore, refer to the document featured here. For more information on what qualifies as artist headcanon, see here.

• Pierry are actually a sentient slime that formed a flexible shell to protect its body.
  • The shell is never fully formed, causing some of the Pierrys inside to drip out. Some say that the goo will eventually develop into another Pierry.
• Pierry can have all types of fillings (fruits, chocolates, custards, etc.).

Appearance

The Pierry is a bipedal creature with an overall cherry pie theme. It has a wedge-shaped head, similar to that of a slice of pie, with openings on the side revealing a cherry-sludge. On its head it bears decorations similar to that of a cowboy hat, with what appears to be dollops of whipped cream making up the crown of the hat. There are also two cherries situated on top of its "hat." Along its neck and back are two rows of triangular ridges which stop at the creature's rump. Along the sides of its neck and torso are slits which leak and reveal more of the cherry-sludge within the creature, like the slits one might see on a pie. Its tail is disconnected from its body and seems to be made of the same cherry-sludge which leaks from its body, and the tail ends with a large four-fingered hand. Its arms are similar, being disconnected from its body, being made of cherry-sludge, and having four fingers.

Males

Males have multiple green ferns floating near the hands.

Females

Females have extra cherry sludge leaking from the gap made by the tail.

Abilities

Main Article: Creature Abilities

This section is intended to list and describe the abilities of the Pierry. (editor list)

• Ambush is a recode-only ability, inheritor of the Ambush control in Legacy, and thus shares some similarities to it. Ambush can be toggled by pressing (not holding) the correct active ability key (which may vary between creatures). It will automatically deactivate after a set period of time, after stamina runs out, or after halting movement, whichever happens first. Like legacy ambush, recode Ambush ability allows a temporary speed boost according to an ambush multiplier inherent to the species (e.g. x 1.5 or x 1.25), usually granting a faster Sprint (except when the multiplier is x1.0 or lower). It will not be stopped by entering or leaving water once initiated; but at a higher stamina cost and a possible decrease in turn speed, directly making a creature unable to turn while ambushing. Similar to legacy, a creature can know if ambush is toggled not only from the the evident speed boost while moving, but because when pressing the activation button, the camera FOV zooms out a tiny bit. Ambush can be used while sprinting. However, unlike Legacy ambush, pressing the appropriate key again will not stack max time and stamina consumption, and can be initiated underwater by creatures with the appropriate mobility type (however, it still keeps the Legacy characteristic of keeping creatures not adapted to water from initiating ambush underwater). Additionally, Ambushing disrupts strafing.
• Area Food Restore is a ranged active ability with a cooldown of 600 sec (10 min) which refreshes food sources (and stomachs) in range. Does not work on eggs from inside a nest.
• 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.
• 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.
• Egg Stealer is an active ability that allows certain creatures to actively interact with the interact buttons with nests in order to eat the eggs from the nest , stealing them as edible food to consume later. Creatures with this ability must break open the egg to eat them, via biting. A creature may know how close is to open the egg by the amount of cracks covering it. Once an egg is open, its label will change to "scrambled" and its yolk will be open for being eaten. Photovores with this ability cannot eat the eggs. Taking an egg will make the respective nest progress for that egg reset to 0, and can only be recovered if a female creature recovers the not-scrambled egg and places it back on their nest. When an egg is returned to the nest, its health is restored to full . Egg stealers can get satiated when consuming the stolen egg / eggs. Only creatures with this ability can consume such eggs. If a creature has this ability, eggs are also highlighted with an egg icon when scenting. You can no longer steal your own eggs.
• First Strike is a passive ability that grants a creature increased damage while they are above 75% health. The damage increase is based on the number listed for the creature, and the increase is reflected on the creature's stat menu.
• 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.
• Jump is an active ability pertaining to the special control Jump/Dart/Glide/Flight and inheritor of the Early Legacy Release jump ability (an ability which never made it past Legacy's Early Release), by pressing space allows a creature to project a parabolic trajectory jump on land, thanks to recode's realistic gravity, and based on the creature's inertia at the time of the jump. However, creatures can turn during jumping, and sometimes running at the same time of the trajectory allows for a limited trajectory correction. If a semi-aquatic (or all-terrain/flier with semi-aquatic characteristics) creature with Jump starts swimming and tries to jump, they will Dart instead. Not all creatures have this ability, even if their mobility type is compatible.
  • Jump has an associated speed boost, stamina consumption (and below that threshold a creature will be unable to jump), and age limit for every creature. Beyond that age limit, a creature will be unable to jump - that field is commonly used for creatures which will develop Glide or Flight on a later growth stage. In fact, if on our infoboxes only appears a jump age stat, that means that the creature has actually jump 0 (no jump) and on the stage that jump supersedes Glide or Flight, it is equivalent as to being unable to jump nor flight nor glide.
• Necropoison Attack is a passive ability that makes a creature necro-venomous by melee - that is, biting another creature will cause the victim to receive Necropoison Status, as much as the attacker has labeled on their stats and affected by modifiers such as some plushies or resistances. Does not stack with itself, but gets worse over time unless the creature is actively healing it. A negative value means that it heals an amount of such status upon biting.
• Raider is a passive ability that allows creatures to enter and exit burrows, but not create them.

Trivia

• Concept by Poky105 in the Creatures of Sonaria Discord.
  • Inspired by cherry pies, as well as cowboy/bandit designs due to the dessert's popularity in North America.
    • The Pierry's name may also be a combination of the words 'pie' and 'cherry', further referencing this inspiration.
  • The Pierry's chaotic nature was inspired by the "Windowsill Pie Thief" trope seen in old cartoons.
  • The pronunciation of Pierry, "Pie-ree", was included with its concept submission. However, the concept artist stated that they didn't really have a specific pronunciation for its name, so it's up to the individual how they would like to pronounce it.
• The Pierry is the second creature which has odd number of limbs (5), the first was Ibetchi with 7 limbs.
  • Also, the Pierry is the second creature which has hand in place of tail, the first was Ibetchi.
• Pierry, along with Cimmabu, is one of the first two creatures to release into the Sweet Explorer Gacha.
• Pierry's customization menu pose is most likely a reference to Jotaro Kujo from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, based off the way Pierry is posed.
• Pierry has no visible mouth, so when trying to open it silently (U on PC), nothing happens; albeit the latter is also common of creatures which have non-vertical maws.
