: Second Color Palette: 
== Description ==
== Appearance ==
 is a slim flying creature with a mechanical, aircraft-like appearance. It has two long and narrow segmented wings, in the middle of which there are two-clawed structures; the wings end in three short fingers. It has two engines mounted on its back. Near the base of the tail, the sports twin ruddervators arranged in a V-shape, thin and triangular in form. Its tail features two more groups of fins, the first being a pair of short horizontal stabilizers; and lastly, on the very end, a full empennage of three fins, the vertical featuring a green decal. This creature has six uniquely shaped robotic legs, the middle pair being considerably thicker than the rest, and also being the only with two fingers instead of four. The legs are partially covered by a protruding rim. A pattern of green rectangles, resembling passenger plane windows, runs through the side of its body, beginning on the neck and ending somewhere around the start of the tail. 's head is similar to that of a shark's. It flaunts an iconic sharp-toothed grin reminiscent of fighter aircraft nose paint. The creature has got three eyes, the third being significantly bigger and covering most of its forehead. It also has three pairs of mechanical "ears" on the sides of its head. The 's color palette consists of muted earthy tones, going from darker to lighter, and some highlights of pistachio green.

=== Pros ===
 is a flier with a decent appetite, which allows it to survive for a while without food and water and fly to search for resources. Being capable of eating-on-the-run helps in reducing the impact of the getting-stuck-while-eating vulnerability, as well as allowing it to feed during a chase. Having ambush gives it an advantage over non-ambushers; especially when entering water. Its OK stamina is complemented by its decent stamina regeneration, so it takes a while to tire and little time to recover from exhaustion, aiding in ambushing multiple times.
The Ghibli is a medium sized carnivore with overall decent stats, having average health and weight for a tier 3 flier, and quite speedy airborne compared to other tier 3 fliers of similar sizes, meaning that this creature can easily soar through the skies and survey the ground for any possible meals and travel long distances in a short amount of time. Its damage output, while being slightly lack-luster compared to similar sized creatures, is still able to chip away at heavier opponents, or deliver devastating bites for smaller foes with this being amplified with offensive burn. This allows the Ghibli to punish smaller creatures by chipping away at any leftover health with burn, or hinder high health regeneration creatures as the effect nullifies passive regen. One of this creatures striking abilities is the ability to put other creatures to sleep, with the Area Sleep ability the Ghibli can use this as a method of hunting, ambushing prey with a dive and rendering them vulnerable to attack or an escape tool against larger creatures. 
Combined with above-average bleed defense, the can partially ignore the effects of small bleed and combined with decent health regeneration it doesn't have to worry about bleed too much unless stacked to lethal levels.
Its Area Sleep ability allows it to temporarily slow down creatures which are gliding or flying, as well as partially incapacitating those creatures which are not by forcing them to sleep for a few seconds, enabling the to safely flee from most foes, steal food from other creatures, easily kill lighter and low-HP ones that may otherwise be too agile to easily hit, attack stronger foes to quickly stack burn without fear of retaliation, and finish off gravely injured targets.
With the fast paced nature of this creature, its growth time feels actually faster.
=== Cons ===
The has quite a bad turn speed, which can allow faster, more agile targets easier access to attack its vulnerable spots. While not slow, its flight speed is still on the lower-end for fliers, which can allow many types of fliers to escape and/or catchup up with the .
Burn is 's greatest tool when taking on higher tier opponents, as without it, 's damage is typically lackluster against them. This makes struggle against heavier burn resistant creatures or those with abilities that reflect or instantly cure such status effects, such as Fortify; specially close to water where the status can be healed quite fast. Even if the burn is not shrugged off, it still takes its time to act (even if it's faster than many other status), meaning that most healers can potentially counter the damage dealt if the target is light enough; or in some specific cases, heal the burn status effect entirely before it causes significant damage.
It is also somewhat frail, and must be extremely wary of creatures with Bone Break or Earthquake, which will negate all benefits gains from being able to fly; especially since most creatures with these abilities tend to have higher damage and heavier weight, and thus can quickly kill a .
Its Night Stalker vision is also a double-edged sword: since it works as an AOE status, affected creatures can triangulate where the creature is located just by checking where their field of vision gets reduced, meaning any surprise attacks or hiding may become moot with careful observation. Additionally, it swaps the colors of scent, making recognizing a pattern quite difficult for the novice to this ability — red turns blue, for example. With this, some players may get confused and follow a water line believing it to be a meat line.

== Trivia ==
* Original concept by Snicker_DoodIes in the Creatures of Sonaria Discord.
** The was based off of king cobras and planes.
** The name is a reference to Studio Ghibli, a Japan-based animating company that has made numerous highly acclaimed films, including the 1988 film My Neighbor Totoro and the 2001 film Spirited Away.

*** Ghibli (sometimes spelled Qibli or Kirbli)(pronounced kee-blee) is an Italian/Libyan-Arabic word meaning "hot desert wind".
*** Hayao Miyazaki, Studio Ghibli's creator and director for most films, has a liking to flying machines and creatures too, shown by the amount of flying creatures and machines in his films.
** 's secondary palette was inspired by the US Navy's performing flight team, the Blue Angels, and is the featured paint-scheme on their F/A-18s and "Fat Albert" the C-130.
* Redesign concept by Zayozaze in the Creatures of Sonaria Discord.
* Redesign rigged by Mezzioli
* Previous version modeled by malarkeii.
* Redesign modeled by Azaph.
* Previous version animated by Erythia.
* Redesign animated by Mukudori.
* The first creature to receive the Area Sleep ability.
* The second developer creature with the Nightstalker ability, the first being the now ex-developer creature Trutholbyeva.
* The third developer creature released in-game.
* was chosen as malarkeii's developer creature because she has an affinity for desert-dwelling creatures and tones, as well as aircrafts. 's tail features the typical control surfaces of a plane's tail (rudder, elevator/stabilator, etc.).
* formerly did not have a visible Glimmer variant, but this was fixed on 5/22/2022.
* One of the old redesigns for became its own standalone creature, now known as Nakamaska.
