### Behavior

🧠 Creature Behavior

*This section is intended to describe **Rihnorkian's** canon behavior, or behavior that is realistically expected of this creature, confirmed directly by the creature's creator. The information here is intended to shed light on what players aiming to roleplay might do when using this species.*

* They often adopt baby Arsonos and treat them like how humans treat dogs or cats.

* They are obsessed with fire and may stare at it for hours on end.

* These creatures, oddly enough, actually love water and like sitting in hot springs.

* Rihnorkian have intricate mating dances. After the dance, the male asks the female to have dinner with him. After that, they raise the chicks for 1 year and then part T
* They breed every few Februarys.

* Their wings are coated in a soft layer of fur that helps them fly. This fur is light but durable and can be used as a shield or to protect themselves from eruptions.

* They often get things stuck in their fur and love to preen and clean themselves.

* They have extremely cat-like movements and express emotions with neck motions, their ears, wing gestures and tail lashing.

* They can sleep for up to 20 hours and while sleeping, may sleep talk, breath out smoke and twitch their ears.

* They are extremely expressive and intelligent.

* If attacked, a special gland in their wings will began to spread the toxic liquid they have around the body and through the veins, causing any creature touching them to be poisoned.

#### Canon Lore made by @NotAlien2363

*Rihnorkian are flying creatures which have the sharp point of the talon in terms of intelligence and abilities, as well as in overall adaptability to an environment. With poison glands spread across their wings, mimicking properties similar to parrots, as well as a heat resistant coat, the members of this species are well suited to harsh and dangerous environments, and how to catch and trick prey. In terms of mating, males use their intelligence to the test. Making a sort of nest similar to modern-day birds, they make a cunning form of “date” with the females. Using their mimicking abilities, they speak in Jeff’s Tongue to soothe the female (the most comforting sounds to the female). They then reproduce and, after a year, depart once the child is large enough to start to fend for itself or with limited company from either parent. The diet of* Rihnorkian *consists of fruit and meat, though mainly consists of the second option. Almost similar to humans, they happen to sleep talk while snoozing; it is thought to be a sign of a more civilized creature, and makes you wonder about how smart and capable this creature really is, and the feats it can accomplish...*

## Appearance

The Rihnorkian is a muscular bipedal creature that is covered in scales. It has peculiar strong chest muscles, while it has a skinny and weak waist. It sports two wings with slightly gradient patterns of them and a webbing made of fur. Two huge, bulky thighs make up the upper part of the creature's legs while the rest is thin and bony. It has only 4 toes (three in front, one in back) and appears to have a dewclaw. A line of fur runs along its back to its tail. It has many spots and stripey patterns and on its tail the spots (on default) fade from red to orange to yellow and back again. Moving to its head, it has two, thick, ram-like horns and large frilled ears. A few small spikes rest on its forehead and a web-like appendage is on its nose. It has one set of eyes that have deep red sclera and angelic, pale-yellow irises. A large, thin, pointed black pupil rests on it. Overall, it has the shape of a species of dragon known as a wyvern.

## Abilities

Main Article: Creature Abilities.

This section is intended to list and describe the abilities of the Rihnorkian.

* Berserk is an active damage boost ability using the ability control (`Q` on PC or > Actions > Use ability). While Berserk is active, each time a player bites the user, that player has a 10% chance of being afflicted with Wisp's Curse. When the user hits a player who has Wisp's Curse whilst Berserk is active, the Berserk user's damage will increase by 5% per hit, capping at a maximum of 150% damage. The damage boost and increase does not apply to players unafflicted by Wisp's Curse. Both status effects last for 30 seconds.
* Bleed is a passive offensive ability, where a creature inflicts a specific amount of bleed status on a creature with every bite (not with breath/ranged abilities or reflecting abilities) AKA "Offensive Bleed". This particular passive offensive is resisted by creatures with the Bleed Defense ability, and it does not work against creatures with the Unbreakable ability. The opposite of the Bleed passive ability is Thorns.
* Bleed Defense is a passive ability that allows creatures to resist the effects of Bleed. It is percentage based, e.g. if an attacker deals 5 bleed per hit and the receiver has 60% bleed defense, then the receiver gets only 2 of that 5 bleed. If a creature's Bleed Defense is 100%, then they are immune to Bleed done by melee direct attacks once fully grown. This ability is gained gradually as the creature ages, that is, a creature with 100% bleed defense will have some fraction of bleed defense while growing, being such fraction bigger as it grows.
* Burn Touch is a passive ability that defensively deals some stack of burn when bitten.
* Fire Breath is an active ability using the breath control that is a type of Elemental Breath that inflicts 1.5 DPS and Burn on targets. You can get rid of burn by swimming.
* Toxin is a status effect that is applied by inflicting damage through contact melee attacks and contains three levels of severity when stacking the effect, similar to other Poisons, such as Poison (with poison and toxin being stacked together) and Radiation Sickness. The first stage from 0-11 of this effect, decreases health and stamina regeneration by 25%. From 11-20, it depletes stamina by 3% every 3 seconds. From 20 and higher, it damages 3% of the target's max health every 3 seconds. If sitting or lying, the health of creatures inflicted with this effect will not be lowered by this status below 10%.
