The Vorpalus is a Tier 5 land omnivore. The species is not currently available, but was available in the Easter Event 2024, either from completing its mission, or as a rare drop from the Card Matching minigame. The trial version is available in the Trial Creatures Shop for 600^♂/6000^♀ Shooms.

Description

“	Vorpalus is a dangerous creature when it comes to raw agility and reaction time. This creature is quick with movement from it's long flexible legs and it's massive lethal tail; This makes them a difficult opponent. Vorpalus can launch their tail at it's enemies and can do various types of effects on them, and when it comes to strikes, it is almost never planned.	„
	~ In-game Description

Appearance

The Vorpalus is a large quadruped and has a sturdy appearance. The head is small and pointed with a sharp snout and extra fur at the top of the head. Four ears line the back of the head and are tipped with extra-colored details, and curled shapes. All four upper legs are covered in extra yellow fur that is bent in a spiral shape, with a glowing blue jewel in the middle. The tail shares that same rainbow pattern like the Scrambler, but appears spikier with the stinger gaining an additional spike behind it. The neck is presumed to be quite long and is covered by thick layer of fur, consisting of altering shades of yellow. The feet are small, and the toes are tipped with black claws. The tails are adorned with gems embedded deep into the flesh and glows the rainbow spectrum. Vorpalus' colorings consist of the rainbow spectrum alongside dark shades of red intermingled with three shades of blue.

Males

Males exhibit visible fluff near their paws.

Females

Females possess slightly harder to spot tufts of fur on their elbows.

Abilities

Main Article: Creature Abilities

This section is intended to list and describe the abilities of the Vorpalus. (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.
• Breath Damage Resistance is a passive ability which decreases the percentage of damage received by the user from breath abilities, a 100% breath resistance means full immunity from the damage dealt from elemental breaths, but not for the status effects they afflict, which remain unaffected.
• Egg Stealer is an active ability that allows certain creatures to actively interact with the interact buttons with nests in order to eat the eggs from the nest directly, or steal their Eggs as edible food to consume later. Taking an egg or fully eating it will make the respective nest progress for that egg reset to 0. Eating an egg directly from the nest will not cause such reset unless eaten fully. Only creatures with this ability can consume such eggs. If a creature has this ability, eggs are also highlighted with an egg icon when scenting.
• 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.
• 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.
• Necropoison Attack is a passive ability that makes a creature necro-venomous by melee - that is, biting another creature will cause the victim to receive Necropoison Status, as much as the attacker has labeled on their stats and affected by modifiers such as some plushies or resistances. Does not stack with itself, but gets worse over time unless the creature is actively healing it. A negative value means that it heals an amount of such status upon biting.
• Poison Attack/Melee Venom is a passive ability that makes a creature venomous by melee - that is, biting another creature will cause the victim to receive Poison Status, as much as the attacker has labeled on their stats and affected by modifiers such as some plushies or resistances. Stacks with itself. A negative value means that it heals an amount of such status upon biting.
• Tail Whip/Secondary melee attack is an 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.
• Wing Shredder is a passive ability that allows a creature to offensively deal Shredded Wings status to a creature they bite, with an amount specific of the user creature.
