Description

“	This beast is only thought to be a legend, a monster that is used in stories to discipline the little ones. It is said that they snatch away creatures in their sleep, and if they wake up, the sight of a Shararook is so terrifying they are paralyzed from fear. It uses its victims expressions for its twisted masks.	„

Behavior

🧠 Creature Behavior

This section is intended to describe Shararook'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.

• Shararooks are very intelligent nocturnal predators that are capable of crafting, architecture, and the creation of different art forms. ㅤ
• In Shararook society, masks play a vital role, as it is something deeply ingrained in their culture. Every Shararook mask is handcrafted by its owner. Shararooks tend to use their prey as inspiration for masks.
• Teen Shararook gain their mask through a maturing ritual, which requires them to kill their first prey.
• Shararook live in colonies with social hierarchies. These colonies are always in hidden, dark places.
• Shararook are active outside during the night; they hunt either solitarily or in small groups. Their preferred hunting method is rather peculiar, as they target sleeping creatures, though some Shararook enjoy teasing and scaring their prey.
• Juvenile Shararook are called spawns, and a group is called a coven.

Artist Headcanon

🎨 Artist Headcanon

This section is intended to describe Shararook'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.

• Shararooks have a rather close connection to the occult and magic, which explains their near supernatural abilities.
• Shararooks preferably locate their colonies in underground city systems.
• Their masks do not correlate to their gender.
• Shararook is a relative of Kriprik.

Appearance

The Shararook appears as a long, quadrupedal creature with lots of dark colors on its body. Its head has rows of various teeth, and is guarded by a terrifying mask with feathers jutting out of the sides. Its front legs are larger than the back legs, and have opposable thumbs. Parts of its neck and lower body have multiple spots that run down to the tail. The back of the Shararook is furry and covered in masks of altering sizes. On its tail are 3 more masks that alter in size, with some bits of skin being exposed, and its tail tip is covered in fur.

Males

Males have a 3-eyed mask with a large, orange-lipped mouth bearing large teeth in a grinning expression. The larger eyes have extra blue sections that resemble large eyelashes. The sides of its mask have what appear to be rosy red cheeks.

Females

Females bear a 6-eyed mask that appear to be crying with a differently shaped mouth, full of darker colored teeth. On its sides are 6 growths similar to horns, and the middle has a blue circle that splits in half.

Abilities

Main Article: Creature Abilities

This section is intended to list and describe the abilities of the Shararook. (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.
• Climber is a passive ability that allows a creature to walk on walls along with ceilings and some uncollidable terrain if climbing on the right angle. To detach from a wall or ceiling, press Space on PC. On Mobile, press the dedicated Detach button, or, if the creature has Jump, press the jump button.
• 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.
• Keen Observer is a passive ability that allows the user to see the health of nearby creatures as a green HP bar over them. It also includes the ability to see equipped Plushies and all the Traits and status effects affecting them, albeit not their exact levels directly (nor the exact traits due to the indicators all being in green or red according to the buffs or debuffs). This has several advantages, from knowing who to protect, knowing if someone is suffering hypothermia/hunger/dehydration, spotting invisible and scent-hidden creatures, to knowing which target is the weakest/most debuffed and acting in consequence.
• Sticky Trap is an active ability, which allows a creature to drop a trap which will will cause those ensnared to receive the Sticky Trap Status and 4 seconds of Broken Legs Status. Has a 75-second cooldown. Multiple sticky traps can be placed and remain by the same creature, but if two sticky traps of the same creature are too close from each another, the oldest one will disappear. If more than 2 sticky traps are placed at one time, the oldest one will eventually despawn. Sticky traps can be destroyed if they receive enough hits.
• Toxic Trap is an active ability inheritor of legacy's Toxic Pile. This ability creates a toxic mud pile that stays for a time and will slowly poison anyone who touches it (excluding the ability user).

Trivia

• Concept by Renorayz in the Creatures of Sonaria Discord.
  • Shararook was based on the Boogeyman, theatre masks (tragedy and comedy), fear of the dark/unknown, and general uncanny-ness.
  • Shararook's name was inspired by The Babadook.
• On release it used to leave no footprints and make no footprint sounds. This has since been fixed.
• Some players have pointed out that the Shararook's female mask shares an slight resemblance to an unmasked Urzuk's face. It is currently unknown whether this is a coincidence or not.
