Zeoarex/Legacy

== Description ==
=== Behavior ===
* like to live on floating islands, as those are where they are most comfortable.
* don't have many outstanding habits but enjoy spinning a lot, they often gather in small groups and will spin together for hours.
* will spend idle time with their wings spread facing the sun, usually in much larger groups with multiple being watchers and taking turns throughout the day.
=== Artist Headcanon ===
* are not from the same time period as other creatures in Sonaria. It is not known when or where they were from.
* have different types of resting "modes":
** Stationary: They're sitting, awake and alert.
** Idle: They're no longer alert, and are more relaxed.
** Disassembled: The deepest rest a can get. They basically fall apart and their lights go out. This is not without danger, as they can be easily attacked or a disassembled piece can be stolen, making them unable to reawaken.
== Appearance ==
The is a long, six-winged amphiptere-like creature. Its neck, torso and tail present multiple spikes protruding from their top, with the ones on the torso being bigger and emanating some kind of smoke. Its neck (and head) and tail are detached from the main body into vertebrae floating sections. Its head resembles a type of cooking tongs in shape, with a frontal row of pointy, curved teeth fused with the jaw. Its wings, attached to its body, are a membrane-feather combination, supported by a partially-detached looking bone structure; one pair located near where its shoulders should be, another on its mid-section and finally a smaller set where its back legs would have been. Apart from size and small shape differences, the frontal wings present one long wing claw, while the back ones present two smaller wing claws (with the mid wings presenting none), possibly due to its hybrid function as wings and back legs.
=== Males ===
Males have four large spikes on their chest-neck base area.
=== Females ===
Females have four small spikes beneath the base of their tails.
== Abilities ==
== Gameplay ==
=== Pros ===
 is a fast omnivore flier, meaning it can rapidly find food and water and compensate for its OK-ish appetite stat. It can also eat on-the-run, so it can eat smaller pieces of food while moving or even during combat without risking getting stuck mid-eating-animation. Its stamina is average, but its stamina regeneration is fast, meaning it'll fully recover in no time from exhaustion.
Its complete bleed defense and unbreakable combo (albeit redundant) ensure this creature cannot be affected by bleed, ligament tear or bone break ailments applied on a melee attack, meaning this creature won't have to worry much about getting rapidly crippled speed-wise on normal circumstances. Its poison defense is enough to reduce considerably the poison received by accidentally biting creatures with high toxicity levels, such as Eulopii; or by getting bitten with creatures that apply that ailment or its sub ailments (such as Radiation) when attacking or breathing, such as fellow , Kehmador, Hikorshi or Ghibli.
Finally, its toggleable AOE Radiation can help as a deterrent for creatures to stay away from the , as both a short-time plan to upgrade any already-present poisons on the victim to radiation sickness (which may make healing the ailment by those healers capable of healing poison a harder task) and to reduce opponent's stamina and HP regeneration, as well a very-long-term plan to lethally irradiate opponents who are chasing this creature (or which the is chasing).
's Wall Cling ability allows it to regenerate stamina when clinging from a wall or roof, no matter distance to a normally-standable terrain. Not to mention that unclinging from walls may give a massive height boost at no extra stamina cost.
=== Cons ===
Its HP are slightly low for its tier, so somewhat low overall, meaning it can easily be killed in a few bites or attacks, specially by heavier creatures. Its HP regeneration is not the best, so don't rely too much on it to out-heal an attacker's damage or status effects. 's damage is also quite low, only being effective against lighter creatures with low total HP.
Its horrible night vision does help it ignore night stalkers, but that means it cannot detect creatures at night that aren't right in front of it without scenting, nor is a night stalker creature is nearby.
Its radiation ability can be countered by creatures with Fortify ability or maximum poison defense, such as Sigmatox.
Wall Cling can be problematic on narrow areas, leaving it stuck forever in a wall until it menus, or stuck for long enough the attacker you were fleeing from catches up with you.
Additionally, due to its radioactive green blood with grey carcass bones, some people may target this creature just to see it bleed and drop a weird-colored carcass.

== Trivia ==
* Concept by Xhosa_Onkai in the Creatures of Sonaria Discord.
** Inspired by "minimalist robots, steam power plants, Emerald tree boas, and just neon in general". (Quoted from Xhosa_Onkai)
* This is the second creature to receive the radiation ability. Prior to this, the ability was unique to Kehmador.
* The has vibrant green blood on Legacy.
** Due to this, when killed, the drops a green carcass.
** This is an actual color in some Earth creatures: both from those that use chlorocruorin, a green oxygen carrier that replaces hemoglobin in some invertebrates blood; and in some vertebrates (like some green tree skinks) that have adapted to carry lethal amounts of biliverdin in their blood, which is a toxic byproduct of heme catabolism whose only good side is that it has anti-mutagenic properties, with the latter being more fitting for the 's lore and radioactive abilities.
* Legacy can more or less safely traverse through lava (idle animation, sitting, laying down, aggro, cower, hiding scent and walking over lava don't hurt the except for the initial contact) as seen here.
