Sang Toare/Legacy

== Description ==
=== Behavior ===
(Original description)
 are blind creatures of the night, never seen during the day unless they're driven from the earth into the light. In nature, Sang are rather social creatures, grouping together to collect meals and carry them back to their singular matriarch to feed as one. Though holding a great reputation as blood-sucking monsters, it's only female Sang that drains life from the creatures of Sonaria, draining them of all their plasma to empower themselves and rejuvenate their health.
== Appearance ==
The is a quadrupedal, dragon-like creature with a few bat and eldritch features. Curved horns and a long pair of ears adorn its eyeless head, and armored plates cover its back and tail. It has a pair of clawed, webbed wings, with its fake "eyes" residing inside its wing palms. Long hooks and spikes extend from its back, legs, cheeks, and shoulders. ’s color palette consists of red, black, white, grey, purple, and brown.
=== Males ===
Males have a short dagger-like nose horn.
=== Females ===
Females have an extra set of saber-tooth-like fangs.
== Abilities ==
== Gameplay ==
=== Pros ===
The is a flying carnivore with a good appetite stat, ensuring that finding food is quite easy and even if it isn't it can survive for a long time without water or food, not being tied to the closest food spawn. Being capable of eating on-the-run does not only help on preventing a vulnerability while eating, but helps considerably in combined feeding-fleeing-combat mobility. Its ambush gives it an advantage over non-ambusher creatures, specially when chasing non-aquatics underwater.
Its extremely high damage combined with its decent weight ensures that most lighter creatures suffer a crippling blow for their attacks, while making the blow against heavier ones still significant, even more effective on melee combat thanks to the combo of its bleed and serrated teeth status effects, which will prevent creatures from regenerating and will cause raw damage for a longer time than normal and becoming difficult to heal, making smaller creatures quickly die from blood loss and high-HP creatures unable to out-heal the damage done by the . This high damage output also ensures that on most situations the can heal a significant amount of HP while its Life Leech ability is active, making it more difficult to take down even in groups, with strategical uses recovering its HP rapidly. Its bleed defense just makes it a bit more resilient to other bleeders.
'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.
Finally, its Night Stalker ability allows it to debuff others nightvision and make it more difficult for others to find their way at night.
=== Cons ===
Its health is extremely low for what is a tier 5, even for a flier. Its weight, while not bad, is still below most other tier 5 weights and even several tier 4s, so any heavier target will probably be perfectly capable of killing a with relative ease if they are not bitten, which can be quite easy considering its turn speed is quite lacking as well.
With its low stamina and stamina regeneration, it's quite easy to tire it out and takes a while to recover enough to be useful - this is felt even more thanks to its overall slowness which makes the rests between moving far more noticeable and makes chasing and escaping a difficult endeavor even with ambush, specially since ambush will deplete the stamina quite fast.
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 that, some players may get confused and follow a water line believing it to be a meat line.
Wall Cling can be problematic on narrow areas, leaving it stuck forever in a wall until it menues, or stuck for long enough the attacker you were fleeing from catches up with you.
Finally, its long growth time leaves young vulnerable with lower stats (including hunger) for a far longer time than many other creatures.

== Trivia ==
* Concept by torviin in the Creatures of Sonaria Discord.
** was inspired and/or based off of gargoyles, vampires, bats, quilled animals (specifically things like tenrecs), Romanian folklore, and mosquito behavioral traits.
*** The 's name exactly means "bleeding" in Romanian.
* Animated by BlckBrryJam.
* The eyes on the 's wings were originally intended to have moving pupils and were animated during development. However, complications arose while exporting its rig to Roblox, and the feature was scrapped.
* was meant to release on October 28th along with the Halloween Event boss, before being pushed back to October 29th when it was decided that the boss would require additional testing. itself was then later moved back to October 28th, and the boss was set to release separately.
* is the only Tier 5 Halloween Event creature in the game, and also the largest.
** is the most expensive Halloween Event 2022 creature as well, out-pricing the Garra Warden by exactly 2,000 Wisps.
* on Legacy can more or less safely traverse through lava (idle animation, sitting, laying down, aggro, cower, hiding scent and walking on a straight line over lava don't hurt the ) as seen here.
