| ~ In-game Description |
Appearance
The Saukuryn is a quadrupedal creature that resembles a griffin, with cherry blossoms growing along its back and down to the end of its tail. Its tail is similarly decorated with large petals and appears to have small growths on it, also possessing petals. It has frontal paws resembling that of a lion, and rear claws looking closer to talons. But the real grandeur of this creature comes with its stupendously large wings, which also slightly resemble Sakura petals.
Males
Males have two large antlers on their head that each bear two flowers.
Females
Females have branches wrapped around their wrists and ankles.
Abilities
Main Article: Creature Abilities
This section is intended to list and describe the abilities of the Saukuryn. (editor list)
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Heal Breath is an active ability using the breath control (C on PC or
on Mobile) that is a type of Elemental Breath with a unique characteristic – it doesn't inflict damage, having a Damage value of 0 DPS (0% PER HIT). Instead, it provides healing for the user, with a Capacity of 10 seconds of continuous use. It has a Regen Rate of 4 seconds, and a Range of 175 studs. Heal Breath is able to self-apply ENERGY (Probability = 75%, no stacking), which provides 10% Max health regen per tick, making it a supportive ability for sustaining health. This breath does not heal other players! - Healing Pulse is an active ability which applies a small hit-point healing buff, as well as the Healing Ailment to creatures around the user and itself for 12 seconds. When used, a spark explosion effect appears from the user. Has a 90 second cooldown.
- Healing Step is a passive ability that activates when the user's health drops to 65% or less. The user leaves a healing trail that restores a customizable % of max health to both the user and any recipients who step in it. This ability only affects the user and their packmates, and the trail is visible only to them. Each trail segment lasts for 8 seconds, with a maximum of 13 segments active at a time.
- Quick Recovery is a passive ability that boosts HP regeneration when below a threshold.

Trivia

- Redesign by Stood_04.
- The Saukuryn redesign is based off of the original Saukuryn.
- On June 18th, 2021, the Saukuryn was moved from the Random Gacha, the Herbivores Gacha, and the Sky Gacha to the Session Gacha.
- It was then moved to the Rotation Store on March 18th, 2022.
- Prior to an update, Saukuryn's placeholder description was “GRIFFIN WOOD FLOWER”.
- There is a UGC item based off the Saukuryn made by TamBrush that is called Saukuryn Horns, which is purchasable for 75 Robux.
- On its pre-redesign legacy model, only one of Saukuryn's eyes is visible and/or customizable, while the other appears hollow. This may be a model or design bug.
- It was the first creature to obtain Heal Breath, added a while after its release.
