Appearance
The Starlit is a small, spherical creature resembling a chicken. Around the base of its spherical body are a set of small, thin legs with three toes, and feathery fluff on the thighs that slightly drapes over the shin. The Starlit also has small wings with 3 main fingers, and another on the underside. The face of the Starlit sports an extravagant pattern resembling eyeliner, which extends into crests similar to big cartoony eyelashes. The eyes of the Starlit are large and sparkly, giving it a cuter appearance. Starlit's snout is pointed, like a beak and opens to reveal a shockingly large, space-like mouth filled with stars. The most remarkable part of the Starlit is its huge tail, which is eight times the length of its body. The tail is cloudy and covered in star-patterns.
Males
Males have no additional features.
Females
Females have extended feathers on its thighs.
Abilities
Main Article: Creature Abilities
This section is intended to list and describe the abilities of the Starlit. (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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Burn Attack is an ability that offensively deals burn when biting. Stacks with itself. A negative value means that it heals an amount of such status upon biting.
- Burrower is an active ability that allows the creature to place up to 4 (or a specific creature limit) burrows anywhere on the map, and use other burrows from other creatures. Burrow entrances are two-way, so the exit can be accessed inside the burrow. If a creature places more entrances than the maximum allowed, the oldest burrow and exit will be replaced. A creature cannot place a burrow entrance inside its own burrow or inside someone else's burrow. Sometimes some creatures can place on certain areas one-way entries, which can lead to making a burrow prison. There is a 3 second cooldown between entering and exiting burrows, not including entering after its initial placement.
- Charge (Launch) or Launch Charge is a specific type of Charge that inflicts a specific knockback and Confusion Status on the victim.
- 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.
- Burn touch/Defensive burn is an ability that defensively deals burn when bitten. Stacks with itself.
- Frostbite touch/Defensive Frostbite is an ability that defensively deals frostbite when bitten.
- Diver is a passive ability that grants a creature the ability to temporarily keep flying underwater for a short period. The exact period is displayed in the information section, in seconds. As a side effect, and probably due to buggy behavior, it sometimes allows the user of this ability to regain stamina underwater, particularly during violent winds.
- 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.
- Injury Attack is an ability that offensively deals injury status when biting. A negative value means that it heals an amount of such status upon biting.
- Quick Recovery is a passive ability that boosts HP regeneration when below a threshold.
- Self-Destruct is an active ability that can only be used at 25% health or less. When activated, all creatures in a 100 stud radius will be dealt 30% of their total health (before weight multipliers), 10 burn, and knockback. Base damage values will be modified based on the weights of the creatures involved. Using Self-Destruct does not immediately kill the user, instead leaving them at 2.5% of their total health, but can kill opponents. It has a cooldown of 300 seconds (5 minutes).
- Stamina Puddle is an active ability that places down a special star-filled puddle. Once you interact with the E button above the puddle a green muddly animation will happen and your stamina will regenerate three times faster for 180 seconds. Has a 120 second cooldown. Unlike legacy, a creature can place more than 1 puddle at a time, but the boost will not stack or reset to max over interacting multiple times with a puddle before the stamina boost effect fades.
- Tail Whip/Secondary melee attack is a special active ability which grants another melee attack, usually from behind (thus, Tail Whip), which is activated according to where the camera is facing. Code-wise it has a secondary damage stat, which allows main and secondary melee attacks to deal different base damage. No offensive status effects are given from this secondary attack, and it is not boosted by most effects, except eldering.
- Will To Live is a passive ability which allows a creature to perform typical run and sprint actions without stamina. However, if stamina is depleted and the creature attempts to move fast, it will deal 3% total health as damage every 3 seconds.
