Description
| “ | Venatrox are deadly alien-like creatures, their main weapon being a extremely strong acid. Having a hard exoskeleton allow them to take considerable amount of damage before they have to resort to an acidic gas. Venatrox do not deal much physical damage but can bring down almost any creature with their acid and poison. | „ |
| ~ In-game Description |
Appearance
The Venatrox is a wyvern-like creature with two legs and 4 wings. Its lower jaw is split in two, and contains many sharp teeth, which become larger towards the front of the head. Its head bears 3 eyes on each side as well as bright green fangs, and a large protruding crest extending from the back of the head. It possesses gills on its neck, underbelly, wings. The venatrox comes equipped with ridges running down its back, to the end of the tail. The Venatrox is stocky and well built, with a muscular appearance. Its chest is quite large and features a ridge-like protrusion. The tail is draped in some kind of skin flaps, which share similarities to its wing webbings. Venatrox has four wings, each exactly the same in size, and shape. The wing's fingers all end in bright green claws, and are connected by webbing.

Abilities
Main Article: Creature Abilities
This section is intended to list and describe the abilities of the Venatrox. (editor list)
- Acid Breath is an active ability using the breath control (C on PC or
on Mobile) that is a type of Elemental Breath that inflicts 2 DPS (1% PER HIT). It has a Capacity of 10, a Regen Rate of 4, a Range of 180 studs, and a Critical chance of 10%. It can also inflict the following ailments: Radiation Status (Probability = 100%, no stacking) and Corrosion Status (Probability = 100%, STACKS set to 0.3). - 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 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.
- 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.
- Corrosion Attack/Corrosion Bite is an ability that offensively deals Corrosion when biting. Stacks with itself. A negative value means that it heals an amount of such status upon biting.
- Defensive Corrosion/Corrosive Body is an ability that defensively deals Corrosion Status when bitten. Stacks with itself.
- First Strike is a passive ability that grants a creature increased damage while they are above 75% health. The damage increase is based on the number listed for the creature, and the increase is reflected on the creature's stat menu.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 or ascension directly. Temporary or status buffs are set on green, temporary status debuffs on red, traits now present their correct indicator and plushies are marked with their plushie icon. These have 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.

Trivia
- Designed by Akurle on the Creatures of Sonaria Discord.
- The concept creator of the original Venatrox doesn't exactly remember every detail of inspiration for Venatrox, but Akurle says "I really liked the design for the jaws of the Radidon in Dragon Adventures, and I think I also took some inspo from xenomorph and various other alien concept designs and insects. I wanted it to like very alien and otherworldly, the the wing claws were also originally meant to look like spider or insect legs. The openings in its skin along its neck and stomach were also meant to be breathed through as well if I remember correctly" (Quoted by concept creator Akurle).
- The Venatrox was originally meant to be a dragon submission for Dragon Adventures, but since it didn't get accepted, it had a design adjustment and was resubmitted to CoS instead.
- The initial redesign for this creature is by Xhosa_Onkai on the Creatures of Sonaria Discord.
- The Venatrox redesign was based off of the original Venatrox design.
- Modeled by PlagaeDoctor.
- Confirmed by NauticaElurra on the Creatures of Sonaria Discord to have a new breath called "Acid Breath".
- Released alongside Vetemortem and Kendyll's remodel, and so its animations were heavily rushed.
- The second redesign is by Austroraptors.
- Second redesign modeled by MidnightAJC8308.
- Second redesign rigged by ThunderBoo666.
- Second redesign animated by Minisode1_BlueHour.
- It is one of the few creatures to have a second redesign.
- Legacy Venatrox is, from the creatures which can currently stay still on lava without damage, both the only one which can do so by using submissive animation or sleeping (albeit Vin'rou can do the sleep one too), and the only one which can do that only with those animations, not in default idle animation.
- Many players stated that Venatrox was related to the Sar'Hingaro, however they are not at all related, in fact Venatrox didn't come from Daimona.
- Initially part of the Session Gacha, Venatrox was removed from its original gacha with the release of Gurava, another Session creature, on November 18th, 2022.
