Hikorshi/Legacy

== Description ==
=== Behavior ===
* tend to act similar to wolves, as they can be found in a small group or alone. They stalk their prey only at night, and in the day they can be found in the swamp or redwoods, as there is a lot of trees for hiding.
== Appearance ==
The is a slim, well-built quadrupedal lizard-like canine, with rather smooth almost salamander like skin. It sports a long tapering tail that has unique stripes going towards the end, with it being bioluminescent . It sports several bioluminescent spikes and patterns around its body. The head is uniquely lined with two pincer-like protrusions from its head pointing downwards towards its lower jaw, two horn like spikes near the top of the Hikorshi's head, and the eyes are relatively small, and in its maw lies a floating tongue. Its color pallet consists of dark blues, grays, neon greens and cyan.
=== Males ===
Males appear to have a floating crystal protruding through its chest and back, somewhat akin to the protrusions found surrounding a time gear.
=== Females ===
Females have three rings around their tails, the middle being the largest and the other two being of similar size.
== Abilities ==
== Gameplay ==
=== Pros ===
The is a dangerous creature, with average-high health for its tier, decent weight and high speed this creature can outrun and chase several creatures for a longer time if the user knows to rest between chases. With its most potent weapon being its high toxin stat, which makes this creature even more deadly. Being able to stack poison to lethal levels rather quickly, and with Night Stalker and Dazzling Flash, the is at its most effective at night, being able to disorient/surprise prey and ambush them, with bleed defense allowing the to ignore for a while bleeding bites.
=== Cons ===
However this creature does have its weaknesses, among them having a low appetite as a carnivore and making hunting and scavenging a necessity. Heavier creatures can put quick work to due to the reduced damage against them and the increased damage against the . And it's toxin is completely nullified by creatures with the poison immunity.
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.
Additionally, due to its green turquoise blood and black bones, some people may just target this creature to see it bleed and drop a unusual-colored carcass.

== Trivia ==
* Original concept and redesign by @Kyrobii on the Creatures of Sonaria Discord.
** The is inspired by an image off Pinterest, if the concept creator is able to find it again it will be mentioned on this page.
** It was featured on one of the game's first thumbnails.
*** The thumbnail is a female. It can be found below in the gallery.
** It is stated in its description that the is able to "turn off" its bioluminescence (or the natural glow that its body emits). However, this is currently not possible in-game. It may be an ability implemented in the future, as something similar has been stated in Sarchias's description, though nothing is confirmed yet.
** was the first unreleased creatures with a remodel before being released, next was Venatrox.
* Modeled by JaxonBirb.
* Animated by BlckBrryJam.
* There is a buff version of this creature, known as “Buffkorshi” on the Creatures of Sonaria Discord. The meme appeared because of the appearance of the creature, having a more muscular build instead of its usual thin anatomy.
* On 9 / 10 / 20, the Hikorshi Gas Mask was released on the Roblox avatar shop for . The item was made by TamBrush.
* The has green turquoise blood.
** Due to this, when killed, the drops a green turquoise 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; albeit not on this shade, or chlorocruorin, a green oxygen carrier that replaces haemoglobin in other invertebrates; and in some vertebrates (like some green tree skinks) that have adapted to carry lethal amounts of biliverdin in their blood, a toxic byproduct of heme catabolism, whose only good side is that it has anti-mutagenic properties. However it is more likely the color has been done as a way to explain its overall green turquoise bioluminiscence.
* Around the time of the 's release, the creator of the creature asked Xan_TheDragon for 10 copies of the species. Xan gave them 69,420 copies instead.
* is one of the creatures which can stay still on lava safely without doing any kind of animation.
