Description
“ | Reviiaton is a very fast swimmer, but with little defense due to the fact that there is nothing to protect it in its body. Its way of attacking is encircling its attacker with its swift speed to confuse it. | „ |
~ In-game Description |
Appearance
The Reviiaton is a leviathan-like creature with a hexapedal-like and slim build, having one-clawed flippers on each pair of limbs (with the front ones being the most developed), and sporting a long dorsal fin that stems from the base of the neck and continues to the horizontal caudal fin. All their fins have a look halfway between being complex ray-fins and being made of feathers. Reviiaton have additional features such as a large backwards-pointing horn on the tip of their snout, baubles which grow from the top of their torso and tail base, and several white spots covering the sides of their bodies and neck. Their streamlined body is made for darting out of the water to catch flying prey or to propel them in the depths.
Males
Males have an additional dorsal neck fin.
Females
Females have two ear fins that look like an extra fin collar near the base of their heads.
Abilities
Main Article: Creature Abilities
This section is intended to list and describe the abilities of the Reviiaton. (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.
- Berserk is a passive ability that activates at below 20% health, which increases stamina regeneration by 100% and decreases bite cooldown by 50%.
- 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.
- 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.
- Grab is an active ability, the recode's equivalent of Legacy's creature "grab a lighter creature", allowing a creature to pick up a lower-tiered creature. Unlike legacy's, it has several pecularities, among them that grabbing is no longer based on weight, but tier. Another peculiarity is that grabbed creatures cannot escape until 5 seconds later. After that, the grabbed creature can struggle by using any button and will release such creature 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. Interestingly enough, using this ability may also make a piece of grabbed food drop.
- Wing Shredder is a passive ability that allows a creature to offensively deal Shredded Wings status to a creature they bite, with an amount specific of the user creature.
Carry-able Creatures

Can-Grab ListThis section is intended to list the non-elder fully-grown adult creatures that the non-elder fully-grown Reviiaton can grab and carry (pick-up), taking into account if this creature has grab/latch and discounting any other special abilities. The Reviiaton (a(n) carnivore) is a tier 3 with 6000 lbs of weight and as long as it has the Grab Ability, it can pick up any creature of lower or equal tier with enough lighter weight difference, as follows:[ Expand Collapse ] Can carry:
Grabbed-By ListThis section is intended to list the non-elder fully-grown adult creatures that can grab and thus carry a non-elder fully-grown adult Reviiaton taking into account grab/latch abilities and discounting special abilities. The Reviiaton (a(n) carnivore) is a tier 3 with 6000 lbs of weight and can be picked up by any creature of higher or equal tier with enough heavier weight difference and the Grab ability, as follows:[ Expand Collapse ] Carry-able by:
Can-Latch ListThis section is intended to list the non-elder fully-grown adult creatures that the non-elder fully-grown Reviiaton can latch into, but not carry; taking into account latch/grab abilities and discounting any other special ability. The Reviiaton (a(n) carnivore) is a tier 3 with 6000 lbs of weight and as long as it has the Latch ability, it can latch into any creature of higher tier with enough heavier weight difference.* There is no creature which the Reviiaton can currently grab but not carry
Latched-By ListThis section is intended to list the non-elder fully-grown adult creatures that can grab but not carry (latch onto) the non-elder fully-grown Reviiaton discounting special abilities. The Reviiaton (a(n) carnivore) is a tier 3 with 6000 lbs of weight and can be latched onto by any creature of lower tier and enough lighter weight difference. However, carnivores and photocarnivores cannot be grabbed by herbivores and photovores, as follows:[

Trivia
- Designed by @daktronic on the Creatures of Sonaria Discord.
- The Reviiaton was originally designed to be terrestrial, but in the end it became aquatic.
- The Reviiaton was mainly inspired by the model of a monster from Monster Hunter and a killer whale.
- Its name is a play on the word 'leviathan', a mythical creature that is usually depicted as a sea serpent.
- Its original name was 'Reaper Leviathan', but it was changed due to another franchise having a species of the same name (Subnautica).
- Modeled by Erythia.
- The Reviiaton was once a starter creature for new users of the game, but was later removed.
- In Legacy, players can color Reviiaton with a color outside its palette (orange) by selecting the eyes or light bulbs' color. However, they only display properly in the paint and main menu. After it's redesign in the Recode, orange is part of it's pallet, albeit more faded.
- In Legacy, it was going to have an ability where it could sit on land for short periods, along with Nimoona, but news about it were never heard of again.
- With the addition of moisture in the Recode, both the Reviiaton, Nimoona, and all other aquatic creatures can now do this.
- If you played in the Official Recode Beta, or the current Main game (Recode) Mode, Reviiaton is already redesigned. However, it still uses the old model in the Legacy game.
