=== Pros ===
The is a flier omnivore with a decent appetite stat and very good stamina regeneration, allowing this creature to go for long periods of time without food while still being able to move quickly. Being the third creature with (a very powerful) healing bite makes it possible to AFK in an area away from resources, and even AFK in pairs anywhere. Being the bite a healing attack, defensive status effects won't kick in and affect the when healing a target.
Because of its moderately high HP regeneration, it can tank a series of percentile attacks more easily and doesn't drown as quickly. In addition to high HP, it is heavy compared to most support/healing creatures, and has Area Wind Blast, which allows it to flee from aerial attackers.
Its healing ability means they may occasionally be protected by other creatures, and its Keen Observer ability allows it to know the health of other creatures as well as some of the status effects that may be ailing them, which can be used either to help with healing or to gather extra combat intel (even spotting invisible creatures hiding scent).
Its stamina is sufficient to stay underwater for an extended period of time.
Its night vision is also one of the best (albeit that makes it the most vulnerable against Night Stalker).
Being a quick flier also ensures that can serve as a quick-response healing team.
=== Cons ===
Being unable to deal damage means that some creatures will continue to attack this creature mercilessly, knowing that cannot normally defend itself. This also means that the only meat it can hunt normally is NPC meat, but their HP regeneration (or a fellow healer partner) may allow them to go fishing or eat seaweed without risking dying right away.
Their weight is still very low in comparison to other creatures of their tier, making it easy to deal maximum damage when biting s as higher tiers.

== Trivia ==
* Concept by Vetris/Undeary.
** It is referred to as the 'Asgard Sea Dragon' on its concept sheet, which could imply that it drew inspiration from Norse mythology and sea dragons.
*** Despite that, isn't set to be an All-Terrain (Flier with semi-aquatic abilities in Recode) and it set to be a regular flier because it was meant for the LSS Event Aerius mission.
** The name, , also implies that it has Norse influence, with Valkyries being female figures in Norse mythology who choose the dead to bring to Valhalla.
