Mijusuima/Legacy

== Description ==
=== Behavior ===
* Also known as the "paradise dinosaur".
* are ambush predators, preferring to ambush in areas with vibrant coral or flowers, like a flower cove.
* When not ambushing other creatures, can use their mouths, which have sensitive whiskers that can calculate and pin-point the position of fast fish, to hunt. This enables them to hunt even in muddy stream water.
* The coral-like parts of the 's body need to be re-hydrated every once in a while, so they can normally be seen in areas with a lot of water/moisture. The hydrated coral bits allow the to cool off in warmer temperatures.
* prefer the micro climates that caves provide, especially if there is water.
* lay their eggs in beds of flowers and their armor and coral protrusions hatch soft.
* Male are considered more attractive if their coral protrusions are larger and more vibrant.

=== Pros ===
The is an extremely powerful foe, arguably one of the strongest tier 4's of its kind if you look at its strengths and statistics. First thing to cover is the high health count: 6,500 health is very high for a mid-tier 4, rivaling some tier 5's of the same amount (Like Sar' Hingaro or Jabblebashhe) meaning that this coral competitor can tank a surprising amount of damage before going down compared to similar members of its tier. And combined with slightly above average health regeneration, it can recover from wounds faster than most other tier 4's. The second most defining trait of the is the absurdly high damage output: 600 damage can easily shred health bars to pieces, almost annihilating most smaller tiers like tier 1's or 2's; when fully doubled 1,200 damage easily can one-shot almost any tier 1 and some tier 2's, and even when fully reduced to half damage 300 damage is still potent enough to pose a threat to heavier targets. 
Combined with its damage this creature also possesses bleed and serrated teeth, meaning that the can almost negate passive healing, and make it even more difficult to recover from the bleed and with the chance of inflicting Ligament Tear, it makes it even more challenging to flee from this creature in a battle. Also, with the 's semi-aquatic nature, any pond, lake, or body of water can serve as a refuge or for potential hunting grounds, as this creature can also go invisible with its active ability making surprised ambushes easy to pull off for potential prey. 
=== Cons ===
This section is a work-in-progress and will be filled over time.

== Trivia ==
* Concept by Undeary on the Creatures of Sonaria Discord.
** It was inspired primarily by "Spinosaurs and different coral species," along with being inspired by the new darting mechanics and map redesign of the Official Recode. It was also inspired by tropical animals, and its colors were picked to reflect the colorful nature of the game's recode.
*** Some of the coral types that inspired the 's design include fan, tabular, encrusting, tubular, branching, and corymbose coral.
** The Miju part in 's name may derive from the Japanese word Mizu, meaning water, while suima might be a pun on swimmer.
* was the winning poll result and one of the three (3) creatures featured in a community poll on the to become a badge creature for the Official Recode. The other candidates that did not win were the Kyraucus and the Zarkavix, of which were announced to be of unknown status as to whether they may appear in the game in the future.
* When early access for the recode first came out, were literally everywhere, camping spawns and killing everything, now you don't really see them anymore, but you can see one every once in a while.
* This is the first badge reward creature to ever appear in a long time, with the Aolenus and Keruku predating 's existence by roughly 2-3 years.
** It is also the first semi-aquatic badge reward creature.
** While being the very first semi-aquatic badge reward creature, it is also the only badge reward creature that can't fly.
** currently borrows modified calls from Nytoltalus.
