Gorgonichus

== Description ==
=== Behavior ===
* The are comparable to very nippy chickens in their social circles, composed of packs of 4-6 with a pecking hierarchy order usually with the largest at the top.
** It is not uncommon for males to end up at the top just because their horns can make them appear bigger than they really are, but otherwise the gender of a does not affect status.
** When gather yearly for nesting, they usually shuffle up their groups upon leaving. Because of this, the pecking order has to be reestablished yearly, which causes lots of in-fighting.
* are vicious with little strategy or reason when it comes to hunting down creatures, not even considering status effects they may inflict, and mostly just all rush in and start going ham, overwhelming creatures with numbers.
** Unless threatened by a significantly larger creature, they are very stubborn and don't stand down.
** Despite their aggressive nature both with other creatures and each other in close quarters, don't mind other groups of their species and leave them be.
*** They frequently mistake other avian creatures as the same species.
* favor wooded biomes, but also can be found venturing in open grassy areas. They also migrate to the rockier regions of the desert annually to nest.
== Appearance ==
The resembles a cross between a terror bird, a Dromaeosaurinae theropod, and a turkey with some vulture-like details on their neck plumage. As such, they are birds with generally muted and natural colors, typically brown, and a tail fan. The only distinctive differences are their raptor-like feet with five (5) fingers, and their mouth, which has a strange beak where its front resembles a row of retracted teeth fused together, resembling the pseudoteeth on some sea-birds. Additionally, their waddle is only present near the tip and sides of their beak. It is interesting to notice that unlike other Sonarian creatures at the moment of release, they have eyelids capable of blinking.
=== Males ===
Males have a pair of ram-like horns with a cuff on the left one, as well as an additional short protrusion on the top of their beaks that resembles a snood.
=== Females ===
Females have short fur on the top of their heads.

== Trivia ==
* Concept by Stood_04.
** Inspired by turkeys, raptors (Utahraptor to be more specific), and vaguely T-rex.
** Early on its design its horns used to resemble metal cornucopias that were eventually swapped to ram horns.
** being able to fly as a joke was considered at one point, where it would have had an almost worthlessly low flight speed and a silly uncoordinated flight animation.
* It is the first creature in-game to have eyelids, meaning it can blink. The second creature to be able to blink is Anutill, with the third being Aueko.
* is also the first non-limited, regular-time creature that switched from event-themed (has a theme related to an specific festivity event in-real-life and in-game but it is available all-year-round) to event-limited (as a Thanksgiving special); during the change between Legacy and Recode.
* 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.
