Korathos/Legacy

== Description ==
== Appearance ==
The walks on two sturdy legs, and has a broad yet muscular looking torso that is set in a hunched stance and is dark in colour. Near the base of the split tail lie various curved and crooked growths with the tail splitting in two, a red stripe flowing down to the tips on the inside of both tails. It has two long arms with hands that have three fingers on each. On its neck are spike-like growths and at the head it has nine gleaming white eyes with no pupils in each of them along with a mouth of sharp teeth. Near the base of its bottom jaw are four long tentacles with uniquely shaped appendages at the end of them with multiple spots similar to 's eyes in each of them, the tail having those same appendages at the ends of them. The feet are in a position similar to various birds of prey, having the middle part of each toe bent inward to support its massive body.
=== Males ===
Males have multiple large spikes on their back that have a thin glowing pattern to them.
=== Females ===
Females have a pair of dorsal fins on their back that lack the glowing pattern. 
== Abilities ==
While not an ability for itself, the has two attacks, stomping while stationary and tail whipping while moving using the attack control . Both require enough stamina to work (with stomping consuming noticeably more), as demonstrated with Lmakosauruodon here and here. Tail whipping only deals half of the standard damage.
== Gameplay ==
=== Pros ===
 can attack from behind and in front of itself, making it easier to fight more agile enemies. The breath allows it to attack any fliers if out of reach. It also has the Iron Stomach ability, meaning it can digest foods that are rotten. Its Life Leech ability can be quite beneficial when needing to heal in combat. 's height can be beneficial for attacking fliers and gliders, and its size can help it climb over some structures.
=== Cons ===
 has an extremely slow turn rate, which can be troublesome when fighting smaller and more agile creatures. Its slow speed also makes it hard to navigate areas or escape predators, and its size makes it hard to enter places smaller creatures can get to, meaning it cannot hide from predators. Its huge size can spell a death sentence when a volcano eruption occurs, as it can't fit in many hiding spaces and gives the meteors more areas to hit. Its speed and stamina regeneration assures that it cannot hunt as well, so it mainly relies on food spawns around the map. It has a somewhat awkward hitbox, as you need to be in a specific position to be able to bite with the frontal attack. Its attack controls (moving = tail attack, idle = bite attack) can be somewhat inconvenient during combat and can confuse newer players 
Its extremely long growth time ensures that younger ones are in danger for far longer.

== Trivia ==
* Concept by Stood_04 in the Creatures of Sonaria Discord.
** When asked about the inspirations for the concept, Stood_04 said: "I didn’t have many direct inspirations for and mostly just aimed for a good ‘ol spooky creepy vibe and went with the flow, definitely wanted a deep sea Cthulhu type feel. Being a kaiju based prompt, Godzilla is a given inspiration but I strove to set apart from Godzilla wherever I could. I definitely knew I wanted to go for an upright theropod look and went for pretty triangular shape language for it’s base body. The biggest direct inspiration for kora was actually a drawing of an Iridhuk (scrapped creature) redesign I made in my free time! I thought it had some nice features and recycled a lot of them."
** Additional notes from Stood_04 include:
*** "Female ’ features came first in the design process and was about to be part of the base body where instead the males had a tentacle beard and females had wispy neon tendrils that came off of the eyes."
*** "Early in the concepting process there was an alternate bulky demon-like design for that was trashed in favor of the current one."
*** " was originally prompted to have a weapon integrated into it’s design. One version had a long split jaw inspired by a crossbow which it would have been able to rip open with it’s arms and shoot a sort of projectile/breath. Other versions were organic, vaguely coral-like gun barrels that grew from the front chest/shoulder area and sickle tails."
*Animated by Mukudori.
* It is the second creature with a tail attack (The first being Lmakosauruodon), and the first creature with all 3 types of attack (Bite, Tail whip, and elemental breath).
* is the first creature in the game to receive the Miasma Breath ability.
* is the first creature to break Kavouradis' long-standing reign as the heaviest creature in the game, specifically by 5,000 units. It even broke Kavouradis' record for the longest growth time by an extra 15 minutes.
