Khiku/Legacy

== Description ==
== Appearance ==
The resembles an avian dinosaur or crane with a long tail of spiked feathers. It has thin and long legs with bird-like talons and a prominent, almost beak-like mouth. It has several feathers across its body, one of them happening to be particularly prevalent on its head and looking like a skull protrusion. 
=== Males ===
Males have a large, sharp horn on the tip of their beak.
=== Females ===
Females have a large patch of spiked feathers on their chest.
== Abilities ==
== Gameplay ==
=== Pros ===
The is built to be a long-distance high-speed runner. While being a terrestrial omnivore with a moderate appetite, those deficiencies are compensated by its high speed and extremely high ambush stat, which allows it to cover long distances in no time, find water and food and escape from attacks easily (this one aided by its moderately small size as well). Being capable of eating-on-the-run helps immensely to reduce the huge vulnerability to getting stuck mid-animation while eating small pieces of fruit or meat. Its good stamina and stamina regeneration make the difficult to tire and drown and easy to recover its full stamina power. In case of getting hurt and surviving, its decent HP regeneration helps to rapidly get the to full health; while its bleed defense reduces slightly the bleed received, reducing the chances of dying from blood loss.
Its (quite small) bleed helps a bit to stop vulnerable creatures from regenerating HP for a small time.
Finally, it's quite easy to grow, needing little time to reach maturity and max age.
=== Cons ===
Its HP and weight are already quite low, meaning most creatures can easily kill the and any bleed inflicted can rapidly bleed it out. The lack of any defensive stats apart from bleed defense leaves it vulnerable to most statusers and any ranged attacker. Not being unbreakable makes it so once some creature has managed to break the 's bones or managed to paralyze or dramatically slow it down it's almost free food. Its small size also means it cannot grab anything bigger than tier 2 meat (tier 1 meat when not fully grown).
Its ambush stat has some drawbacks, such as swapping left and right controls while being used outside water, that make high-speed interception and dodging while ambushing difficult for the novice and many experienced players.
Its bleed is trivial to heal under most circumstances, combined with its low damage makes dying from a attack unlikely except as a creature with already low total HP and weight, ridiculously low HP regeneration or with an already high bleed debuff in place and suffering from serrated teeth.
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.
Additionally, due to its blue blood and black carcass bones, other creatures may target the to see it bleed and drop a weird-colored carcass.

== Trivia ==
* Designed by Stood_04 and modeled by JaxonBirb.
** The was inspired by bird(s) (literally, Stood just said "b e r d").
* Redesign by Kreepreek on the Creatures of Sonaria Discord.
** The redesign was based off the original concept, and had additional inspiration from a steampunk theme and the head being based off of plague doctor masks. 
* Originally modeled and animated by Erythia.
* Redesign modeled by JaxonBirb.
* Redesign animated by Mukudori.
** Over the updates this creature has been getting and losing this position constantly. It first lost it to the Ani, only to reclaim it again after 28th May 2022 but lost it to Koipise in a later update, only to reclaim it again after the remodel was released.
* 's in-game description was changed upon receiving its redesign, its previous one reading: "They would most likely use their speed for a hit and run tactic. They kick and slice with their long legs. They are very weak in both health and attack damage and would prefer running away over fighting."
* The redesigned has light blue blood on Legacy mode.
** Due to this, when killed, the drops a light blue carcass.
* The used to be in the omnivore gacha, but upon its redesign got moved to the mutation gacha.
* Redesigned 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.
