Dowatt/Legacy

: Second Color Palette: 
== Description ==
=== Behavior ===
* Groups of can be called "kilowatts", "megawatts", and so on, depending on their size.
* 's internal supercomputer as well as its software can be modified to perform any of the tasks that an average PC can do. This means that you can run any informatic program you wish on it. Due to this, you can, indeed, play Creatures of Sonaria inside of Sonaria.
* 's origin is in a planet several light years away from the Orb, albeit it went a long process of modifications and artificial evolution before its final version arrived to the Sonarian Orb. Its creators were an advanced civilization of interstellar-traveling creatures, which also created many other inorganic/mechanical lifeforms using their futuristic technology.
* aren't sentient; they have no self-awareness as a species, and lack an individual "mind". It's likely that their AI systems were truncated to not achieve any of these on its own. It can solve problems and process large amounts of data like any supercomputer, but it's doubtful whether it can be considered a true life form or not.
* NOTE: this is not planned to be applied to in-game mechanics: don't need to eat or consume organic nutrients at all, as they don't have a natural body. If desperate, they can convert the meat they eat into power, but this isn't very useful for them.
* look completely lifeless when they have no power running through their electric system. This is when they're "turned off" to save power and "sleep". They normally are kept in this state inside of underground bases, while they wait to go outside for daily environment surveillance missions.
* The inside of a 's helmet contains a rotating high resolution camera and an extension of its computer system. This is covered in a glassy material that protects them from harsh light, wind, and any external objects that could damage them.
* 's electric circuits are akin to nervous and circulatory systems. They distribute power and data across its body, muscles, and computer systems. Electric power is especially concentrated on the external areas of the electric circuit: the exposed spine, the neck wiring, and the antennas. The energy they carry is so high that to a human, even standing near them is dangerous. Touching/biting any of these elements can shock a weak creature to death. Due to this, many creatures and predators think twice before attacking it.
* These creatures, for obvious reasons, are extremely vulnerable to water, and stay away from it at all costs.
* During rainless electric thunderstorms, an unusual number of go outside and glide up in groups to catch electricity from the ambience with their antennas. However, if directly struck by a lightning, their circuits overload, often leading to death.
== Appearance ==
The is a quadrupedal, robotic and rodent-like creature with a design themed around electricity and futurism. It has armor plates covering its spine, which runs down the creature's back and ends in a long, segmented tail reminiscent of a power plug. Two pairs of black and yellow wires connect the creature's head with its back armor, and another goes from the lower jaw to the throat. It's neck sports a yellow lightning shape. 's head is narrow and wedge shaped, and it's covered with a dark glasslike helmet that has two yellow markings on the sides. It has long, pointy black tipped ears, and rodent teeth. The creature's body, neck, ears and upper half of the legs are covered in fur, featuring light brown and white patterns in the shape of lightnings. Meanwhile, the belly, tail, spine, head and lower half of the legs show the artificial nature of its design, with a color palette that clearly separates these areas from the furred parts, presenting three tones of dark blueish grey and yellow.
=== Males ===
Male s sport three antennas cresting their neck.
=== Females ===
Females have six antennas (three per side) protruding from their back.
== Abilities ==
== Gameplay ==
=== Pros ===
 has an unusually high damage stat for its tier, allowing it to kill smaller creatures with ease. It is also gifted with a fairly strong breath ability, the lightning breath. 's mobility stats are really good, letting it dodge attacks and flee from combat quickly. This combined with the creature's small size makes it very difficult to hit. It can take advantage of its breath to attack enemies from a distance, make their movements erratic, and dive in to land hits on them. It has some bleed per bite, which stops the opponent's health regeneration, as well as serrated teeth, which makes it harder to heal from the bleed dealt. As it only takes 15 minutes to grow, it can reach adult stats quickly. Having iron stomach lets it feed on rotten carcasses without getting sick.
=== Cons ===
Because of its low health and weight stats, can easily be killed in few hits by anything stronger than it if it's not careful enough, especially when not full grown. It struggles dealing damage to heavier creatures. Its low bleed per bite, despite having serrated teeth, can be healed quickly, taking many hits to inflict a dangerous amount of this ailment. is extremely vulnerable to creatures with the bone break ability, as it loses speed and agility to flee. The benefit of not receiving sickness from eating rotten carcasses is small compared to the negative effects of thirst and health loss, which can result in death if too much rotten meat is consumed.
