The Veludorah is a Tier 4 land carnivore. The species is available in the Mecha Explorer Gacha. The trial version is available in the Trial Creatures Shop for 150^♂/1500^♀ Shooms.

Description

“	The Veludorah is a remnant of old brass metals, brought to life through mysterious circumstances. Its metal outer shell protects its true body made of flesh combined from other unfortunate creatures. These metal sentinels are powered by steam, roaming mindlessly through previously inhabited caves of geothermal pipework lost to history.	„

Behavior

🧠 Creature Behavior

This section is intended to describe Veludorah'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.

• The Veludorah's behavior is similar to a bear's, but it is more of a shy/curious hunter.
• The Veludorah is hostile towards anything smaller than it, especially when it's raising its chicks. Anything its size or larger and it'll flee, possibly even abandon its young if it has to.
• Veludorah prefer to nest on elevated surfaces where they're out of reach.

Artist Headcanon

🎨 Artist Headcanon

This section is intended to describe Veludorah'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.

• The Veludorah, like the Prabiki, is capable of climbing.
• The Veludorah are carnivores because while they get their energy from the light absorbed through their deep blue crests, their systems cannot synthesize proteins which their mostly-organic body needs, which explains its carnivorous side (this can imply it's partially synthetic).

Appearance

The Veludorah is a bipedal creature with long, clawed arms. It bears a large crest that arches over its head and has markings that mimic wires or circuitry. It has four plates on its back all which share a similar look to its crest. Draping across its arms are several belt-like decorations. Its tail is long and ends in a flat, spade shape. It also has structures on its legs that give the impression that the creature is wearing boots.

Males

Male Veludorah have a large, bright blue, boomerang-shaped crest on their head.

Females

Female Veludorah have large, bright blue plates on their lower backs, ending just before their tail.

Abilities

Main Article: Creature Abilities

This section is intended to list and describe the abilities of the Veludorah. (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.
• 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.
• Channeling is a passive ability that strikes the Channeling creature when it is at 25% or less health, every 5 seconds. To anybody in a 150 stud radius excluding the user, they will receive 3 shock status and 2 confusion status. The status effects stack with each strike.
• 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.
• 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.
• Lightning Breath is an active ability using the breath control (C on PC or on Mobile) that is a type of Elemental Breath that inflicts 3 DPS (1.50% per hit) with a Capacity of 5 seconds before recoil damage, a Regen Rate of 5, a Range of 175 studs, a Critical chance of 25%, a Chain value of 100, and maximum chain stack of 10. It has a maximum chain damage of +1,000%. It also has a chance to inflict Shock Status (Probability = 20%, no stacking).
• Shock Area is an active ability that upon use inflicts to nearby creatures Shock Status, a very short stack (less than a real-life second) of Broken Legs Status and 60% flight speed reduction for 30 seconds. Has a 90 second cooldown.

Trivia

• Concept by TyrantDinosaur889 on the Creatures of Sonaria discord.
  • Veludorah is "based off the robotic/steampunk them cc were told about so hrhrhr. He’s a photocarni and I went with the idea of solar panels (the crest and back) is how he gets sunlight power. Steampunk is usually a grunge/dirty kinda theme right? So I went with themed colors and gave em boots and these belts on the arms (bc why not but they also look nice) and more leathery parts. The circular designs on the arms are vaguely based of those toy circuits while the designs on the solar panel plates are supposed to mimic wires." (Quoted by concept creator TyrantDinosaur889)
  • Originally, the Veludorah was named "Velduorah" as shown in the original concept art; this was a mistake in communication as no one corrected Naut when they were calling it Veludorah, thus the name stuck and was not changed back.
  • Was stated to be a photocarnivore and a Tier 4. However in legacy game, it is a Tier 3 regular carnivore.
• Animated by Rook.
• When unlocked from the Mutation Explorer Gacha, the Veludorah's menu icon has too-small-to-properly-read-text above, most likely just its name.
• One of the faces in the legacy model has been rendered backwards (inside instead of outside, on the right side of the head, under the eyes and between them and the nostril). This can be seen in detail here.
  • This can also be seen in this glimmer image, where the glow from the other side can be seen through the hole.
• There's a bug where the tail falls as a juvenile on legacy, but it comes back once grown to teen.
