Creatures There are several creatures that appear throughout the world of Sky, both helpful and harmful. Depending on where they are located, creatures can aid the player in reaching distant areas and places that are complicated to reach alone. Most creatures can be separated into four categories: Light, Dark, Neutral, and Miscellaneous.Spoiler AlertThis article/section contains spoilers for in-game surprises, secrets, or storyline details, such as the end of the game. Please continue with caution if you are new to Sky: Children of the Light. Contents 1 Light Creatures 2 Dark Creatures 3 Neutral Creatures 4 Miscellaneous 5 No Longer In Game 6 Trivia 7 References Light Creatures: Light Creatures are harmless to Sky Kids, are a part of the scenery or cutscenes, can restore a Sky Kid's Light, or can help in memories and quests. Light Creatures have many forms and shapes, ranging from a small butterfly to a huge whale. They can fly, glide, swim, or walk. Name Image Description Sky Children Sky Children (also referred to as Descendants, Sky Kids, Avatars, Children of the Light[1] and (for new players: Moths)) are the titular playable characters in Sky: Children of the Light, and the first living being that can be seen in the game. Butterflies Butterflies are light creatures for their ability to restore a Sky Kid's light. They are first encountered by the player in the Isle of Dawn, after discovering the first Child of Light. They are also sometimes released by burning Darkness Plants. Birds Birds are introduced in the Isle of Dawn. They are encountered in almost every realm, and they seem to emerge from various points in the clouds when traveling in flocks, signifying their relation to Light. Mantas Based on manta rays, Mantas in Sky have been introduced as of creatures of the air but later introduced as water creatures in the Treasure Reef of Season of Abyss. In Valley of Triumph, players are able to unlock the Manta Call from the Citadel area, which does not induce any interaction with the Creature but simply mimics its call. Jellyfish Jellyfish in Sky are translucent creatures with many tentacules-legs that can replenish your cape energy. A Call that mimics the Jellyfish can be learned from the Jelly Whisperer spirit, introduced in the Season of Sanctuary. Whales The Whale is a large, fish-like creature, which resembles an arowana. It is unclear whether the Whale is a fish or a mammal in the world of Sky. However, it only replicates Earth's Whales in size and not in appearance. Blue Eel In Treasure Reef, an eel-like creature can be seen in the water emitting blue lights for players to collect. The creature will start its route in shallow water, then follow down the depth of abyss before finishing its path through the passage going to the large bubble tanks. The eel is sometimes found in the underwater part of treasure island in Golden Wasteland. Clams Clams are not really creatures in the world of Sky, but they do hold pieces of light and will recharge a player's light once collected. We categorized them in the creature page since they are living creatures in real life. Turtle The Sanctuary hold house to a permanent resident in the form of a large turtle. During Days of Nature 2022, a large trench was added to the dept of the Sanctuary Island and when the Isle is soaked in a gorgeous orange sunset, players are able to help a creature and receive Lights as a benefit. The turtle start from the bottom of the trench and make its way to the top. Once out of the water, players can burn the large dark plant that grows on the turtle back. Fishes There are tons of fish in Sky and most of them are for recharging players or provides lights while others are just part of the scenery. Most of them represent real life fish; Angelfish, Sunfish, Knife fish, and Swordtails. Mantatee[2] Introduced during Days of Nature 2023, this new light creature is often trapped in the sand by a Darkness plant and will lead players to the Vortex after being freed. The light creature is an amalgamation of a manatee, porpoise, and seal. It can be found in Sanctuary Islands during Days of Nature and in Prairie Peaks at the end of the big waterfall's river. Dark Creatures: Dark Creatures are entities that consumes anything of Light. Running into Dark Creatures will cause you to lose wing energy or stars. Sky is not a violent game and Dark Creatures are only symbols of fear and doubt for players. When a player is hit repeatedly, it is possible to lose Winged Light and thus Cape Wedges. Although you cannot die in Sky, losing wings will remove your ability to fly, making it harder to reach certain areas and forcing you to retrieve lost Children of Light in all the Realms. Dark Creatures also have many forms and shapes, ranging from small crabs to a giant abysmal Monster, but they all share their dark color palettes. They can fly, glide, roam, or swim and are found in all the Realms. Name Image Description Dark Crabs Dark Crabs are first discovered by the player in the Sanctuary Islands in Daylight Prairie, though they are most prominently found in Golden Wasteland. They are commonly abundant in areas of water. Dark Dragons/Krill Dark Dragons, also known as “Krills” by the community, are first encountered by the player in Golden Wasteland's First Krill Area. They are large, black, floating Dark Creatures with several pairs of legs and one glowing blue eye which searches the terrain with its searchlight. Dark Shadows Dark Shadows, fan-nicknamed Dark Worms and Squirmals, and called Owls by beta testers, are found exclusively in the Trial of Fire in the Cave of Prophecies. Abyss Monster The Abyss Monster or Many-Eyed Monster (named "Monster" in beta updates), fan-nicknamed Leviathan and Megalodon by beta testers is found exclusively in the depth of Treasure Reef. It appears as a larger and more intimidating type of krill creature, with its many red glowing eyes. Neutral Creatures: Neutral Creatures are creatures who are neither Light nor Dark and may be found wandering the lands. They don't have any practical function, but they still react to Sky Kids by their proximity, sound (honking), or a specific action. Name Image Description Oreo Oreo is a black-and-white dog that can only be summoned by seven players who possess the Butterfly Charmer's Butterfly expression, in the area above the eight player puzzle in Daylight Prairie. Mimi In the Secret Area, after reliving a certain Spirit Memory, Mimi the cat can be found floating inside the office, riding upon a broomstick. Players can ride with her on her broom. Due to her color scheme, some players mistake Mimi for Oreo. Miscellaneous: Miscellaneous creatures have no possible interaction, and are only part of the scenery. Name Image Description Robot A large creature in the form of a Robot made of rocks can be found at the office in the Secret Area. No interaction is possible with this robot as it walks around the clouds surrounding the office. Office Shiba Inu A Shiba Inu statue can be found at the office in the Secret Area. Similar to Oreo, the statue is based on a real dog named Rusty Red. Eggs Two eggs can be found on a tree stump at Broken Bridge. The Rock A rock creature that roams around in the Sky Kingdom that announces it's journey in the Patch Notes. No interaction is possible. No Longer In Game: These creatures are simply showcased in a cutscene, removed from the game, or part of the lore of Sky. Name Image Description Glove ghost In the Secret Area, on the right of the main office door, a strange "glove-shaped ghost" appeared floating above a meditation shrine. No interaction was possible although it appeared to be blinking its eyes from time to time. Rhythm Bird This mysterious bird-like creature was only seen in the Season of Rhythm cutscenes, and the Season of Flight promotional art. For the Season of Rhythm, it's the ride of the Spirits and Guide. For Season of Flight, there is an artwork of the Light Whisperer Spirit in front of it. Trivia: There were two scrapped light creatures that appear in Sky: Light Awaits; birds which look similar to the pigmy mantas in appearance, and sea turtles and eels from a unique kind of quest. Many of the creatures act similarly to the Entities from Journey; Butterflies, Mantas, and Jellyfish are similar to Fliers, Carpets, and Chinese Lanterns, respectively. Krill can be the equivalent of War Machines. Unlike with Krill, War Machines will still attack if one spots a Wayfayer. They will also destroy nearby objects, while Krill clip through them. There was a glitch in the Social Space of Daylight Prairie were the birds next to the cliff are black instead of white. This was patched out in the Season of Prophecy content update. The name of the Memory Whisperer suggests that Spirit Mantas are also called Memories. This can also be applied to the Light Whisperer from the Season of Flight, as this might suggest that baby mantas are called Lights. Oreo is the pet to TGC's co-founder, Jenova Chen. Mimi is the pet of one of the game designers, Atlas Chen. Rusty Red is the pet of one of the narrative writers, Jennie Kong.
