Galeostra/Legacy

== Description ==
=== Behavior ===
* are neutral creatures and couldn't care less about the shoals of fish they attract with their flickering lights.
* are not great parents and often lose their babies while traveling. Despite this, many of the babies end up making it to adult.
* are surprisingly good at breaching and are often mistaken for shooting stars. They can flicker their lights in patterns and even communicate with each other using this method.
* The second are born they start eating a wide variety of poisonous flora, even though it provides little to no sustenance for them.
* They like to wander the twilight zone of Sonaria's oceans in search of some of their favorite food. 
=== Artist Headcanon ===
* Despite being photovores (Only lore-wise, in-game mechanics they are herbivores), actually eat a lot of plant life; it is unknown why they do this.
* are like oobleck: hit them hard and it's like hitting a wall, but just tap them and they're squishy.
* are surprisingly good at breaching and are often mistaken for shooting stars. They can flicker their lights in patterns and even communicate with each other using this method.
* The reason eats a wide variety of poisonous flora is to gain near immunity to poison and become poisonous themselves.
** A favorite food of is a twilight mushroom found in the twilight zone of Sonaria's oceans and extremely poisonous. This mushroom can even affect the color of some , turning them purple or pink.
== Appearance ==
 is a six-limbed gastropod creature, with a very strong resemblance to its inspiration, the glaucus atlanticus. As such, it has six main "leg" appendages, from where multiple cerata and finger appendages stem from, and smaller versions of these protruding from the snout. Unlike its inspiration, though, its longest do not protrude from the extremities, but from the shoulders and base of the tail, plus it has additional appendages on its tail and toe beans. Its ventral area and tail are not only coated on a slime-like effect, given by reversing visible faces on some parts, but is also decorated with a dotted-star bioluminescence.
 has no gender dimorphism.
== Abilities ==
== Gameplay ==
=== Pros ===
The is an aquatic herbivore with a good appetite stat, meaning that even if it wasn't already on an edible-herb-rich environment, it would still be capable of resisting for long periods without food intake; plus as an aquatic water intake is not needed. Being capable of eating on-the-run nullifies the risk of being defenseless while getting stuck mid-eating-animation. As an aquatic fortunately it doesn't need to deal with the stamina drain of being underwater and as such its stamina performance is better than a similar creature less focused on this habitat, such as Zwevealisk. 
As an aquatic with few players roaming the underwater world, it can live relatively undisturbed by other players which mostly occupy above water areas. Due to the lack of traffic underwater, it can be a good spot to grow creatures for game currencies or special effects for a long time without interruption. All of these compensate the fact it takes a moderate long time to grow, reducing the chances of being attacked during its most vulnerable state. Another advantage of living in the sea is that effects which can be quenched underwater such as acid and fire are not nearly as effective against the .
If that's not the case, Defensive paralyze and Poison can help into leaving an opponent stuck in place with weakened stamina and HP regeneration and help running away, or if daring attack the opponent on vulnerable spots. Thanks to Reflect attacks, it may be possible to not suffer any melee damage or ailments when attacked, making the combo quite effective as a deterrent - with poison having a real probability of stacking to lethal levels thanks to its high total HP and moderate HP regeneration. Its poison resist helps nicely into reducing the poison received while attacking or defending, even at a distance.
It also has an excellent nightvision, which lets it roam the depths of the ocean at night without problem. This also makes it the most vulnerable to nightvision-nerf abilities such as Night Stalker, but it also lets you pinpoint where the creature with such an ability is.
Finally its bad turn rate which gets compensated by living underwater combined with a decent bite damage ensures this creature can protect itself quite nicely from faster and smaller targets, as well as not being useless against heavier targets.
=== Cons ===
Its damage output, while not low, is still low enough that biting a few adult extremely poisonous creatures like the Eulopii would be extremely dangerous. The lack of a ranged defense can make ranged attacks quite difficult to win if the enemy manages to keep distance (specially breaths and other abilities which are not poisonous in nature). The lack of any bleed defense may leave this creature at a disadvantage against heavy bleeders like Syroudon, with 's HP regeneration nullified while bleed is in effect.
As an aquatic, there is often very little interaction underwater which can be boring for players seeking to live an exciting life underwater. This becomes worse by the fact aquatics cannot live on places without water to roam in, getting beached and rapidly dying from damage the moment they leave their habitat, its moderate HP regeneration unfortunately cannot help much with this.
There's also the disadvantage that Reflect Attacks doesn't have an exact indicator of a cooldown time, unlike other abilities. That means that while the know the cooldown for this ability is 20 seconds and has a manual time counter running, they cannot know how many seconds remain until they can use it again, leading to problems with calculating when the shield is recharged again and a possible death against a heavier, higher-damaging foe.
Additionally, due to its blue blood, 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.
** The was inspired by the blue glaucus and stars.
*** This inspiration can not only be seen in its design, but in its lore and stats as well, since the blue glaucus is also poisonous to touch.
* Modeled by JaxonBirb.
** Wolfragon had begun modeling the long before it was properly unveiled, but this older model was scrapped.
* Animations by Rook (mishazhirov).
* was said to come out on October 14th, 2022, but due to how long it would take to get everything ready, the developers pushed its release date to October 15th, along with the Bazelii.
* The has dark blue blood.
** Due to this, when killed, the drops a blue carcass.
** This is an actual color in some Earth creatures, from those that use hemocyanin, a blue oxygen carrier that replaces hemoglobin in some invertebrate's blood.
