== Description ==
=== Behavior ===
<tabber style="border:none;">
Redesign =
* are jumpy and playful creatures which enjoy spending their time in the plains, constantly running and gliding everywhere. They enjoy gliding long distances alongside their own kind.
* While sociably and playful with their own species, tend not to express curiosity towards other creatures. They have a "my species is all I need and nothing more" mindset, and will usually flee from predators and peaceful creatures alike. 
* are usually found in dense groups and herds, since they always stick together and rely on one another.
* are built to glide fast and their plant-like protrusions on their sides allow them to keep as much airtime as possible.
** It is speculated that could have evolved from a smaller terrestrial creature, but over time had to adapt to grow wings and grow larger. It can be said they may be evolving into a larger, fully flying being.
* The 's large tail is called a "dress". More vibrant dresses may contribute to a 's status in its herd.
* Males have a full head of petals for presentation and to attract females.

Previous =
* The are essentially leaves that float through the air.
* are minor disturbances to creatures and are ignored. 
* Due to the being so insignificant and small, they get stomped on a lot.
* young are stuck on the ground due to not having wings, so parents just leave the young by themselves. This is because the young will most likely be fine since creatures don't care that much about them.
* They don't take fall damage.
* are similar to bees, so further information on its behavior can be referenced from that.

== Abilities ==
== Gameplay ==
=== Pros ===
The 's small size, fast turn and speed, gliding mobility and photovore diet makes it a decent choice for moving and AFK farming. It can hide in unconventional places which will make combat situations less likely to happen, and even in the event a is found, its small size and speed could serve as a means of escape. Even then if the attacker is not powerful enough to kill the in one blow nor has special status effects, its HP regeneration lets it recover quite fast from injuries. While it has a rather abysmal bleed defense stat, it's better than none and can slightly help against bleeders which is a status high-HP regeneration, low-HP creatures like are particularly vulnerable to.
Its Food Restore ability (plus the unlimited food production males can store in their food storages) can be used as leverage to keep other creatures protecting a to keep their hunger and thrist topped. 
It also has good stamina and excellent stamina regeneration, which allow it to boost gliding far more times, take a long time to begin to drown and recover from exhaustion faster, specially useful for when wanting to glide while exhausted and no water sources are nearby.
It also has an excellent night-vision, which lets it roam at night without problem. This also makes it the most vulnerable to nightvision-nerf abilities such as Night Stalker, but it also lets them pinpoint where the creature with such an ability is.
Although it is highly susceptible to death, are easy to regrow due to their diet and quick growing time.
=== Cons ===
As mentioned before, are highly susceptible to death and bleed as any creature with low total HP, most of its tier, tend to be. When it comes to combat with other creatures, s are quite lighter (even against its own tier) and do not have any unique abilities (aside from its average-high damage for its tier, its speed and high HP regeneration (albeit the last two are usually a trend amongst its tier)) that may grant it leverage.
 are also flightless when they are young, making them even more vulnerable while growing.
Additionally, due to its light green blood and forest green carcass' bones, some people may just target this creature to see it bleed and drop a weirdly-colored carcass.

== Trivia ==
* Original concept by Meowchellelee in the Creatures of Sonaria Discord.
** The was "based off Gloriosa superba/fire lily (flower). It was also a little bit inspired off of Mekmek (by Stood_04) since in my mind (at that time it wasn't modeled yet), Mekmek was a very light gliding creature with large thin wings." (Quoted by concept creator Meowchellelee)
* Redesign concept by noth626274 in the Creatures of Sonaria Discord.
** 's redesign drew inspiration from succulent plants, Aloe vera, and the King of Saxony bird-of-paradise. It was also designed with raptor-like qualities and "slight dinosaur anatomy" in mind. noth626274 also states that they "tried [to] keep similar attributes from the original design."
* Modeled by Erythia.
* Redesign rigged by Mezzioli
* On Legacy, the has light green blood.
** Due to this, when killed, the drops a light 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. It is possibly green just because of the inspiration of this creature, meaning the blood could be sap, which is more fitting for the .
* Legacy can use its animations to stay still on top of lava without taking damage.
* The , like the Astrothi, Momola, and Zhelijin, do not have their 'wings' as juveniles, meaning they can't fly until they reach teen.
