== Appearance ==
The is a quadrupedal creature with a long bulbous tail adorned with spikes and plate-like metallic armour. Lore-wise, it could be understood that all the bulbous parts (the tail, forelimbs, neck) are composed of water separated from the environment by a translucid membrane on their tail, forelimbs, throat and sides of the torso; and by multiple sets of metal-like armour everywhere else. Fumes can be seen steaming from the exhaust pipes seen at the lower base of their tail (three pairs) and top of their head (one pair). Gear-like patterns and protrusions can be seen on their shoulders and back. Their back limbs are smaller than their front limbs and end in three ungulate-like toes/nails/hoofs, instead of the four fingers from the forelimbs which are in a similar position to those seen in gorillas while walking or some prehistoric sloths. Their head presents a pointed snout and two pair of eyes below the head exhaust pipes and above a pair of elongated jaws lacking any teeth.
=== Males ===
Males present three small spikes at the top of their tails, on top of the three nearest plates closest to the tail base.
=== Females ===
Females have a set of three pairs of spikes at the base of their tail, on top of their back legs.

== Trivia ==
* Concept by JaxonBirb in the Creatures of Sonaria Discord.
** Inspired by “Water, steampunk, divine beasts, and its old concept”.
* Legacy has 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 invertebrates blood.
* Legacy 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.
