Criaturas

**Esta página está siendo traducida - gracias por su paciencia**

Hay varias criaturas que aparecen en todo el mundo de Sky, tanto útiles como dañinas. Dependiendo de dónde se encuentren, pueden ayudar al jugador a llegar a áreas distantes y lugares a los que es complicado llegar solo. La mayoría de las criaturas se pueden dividir en tres categorías: criaturas ligeras, criaturas oscuras y criaturas diversas.

***¡Advertencia! Se recomienda completar el rompecabezas de ocho jugadores en Planicie de Luz de Dia y Ojo del Edén (la página contiene spoilers) antes de leer esta página, ya que hay spoilers en algunas de las entradas.***

## Criaturas ligeras

La mayoría de las criaturas de luz pueden restaurar la luz de los Niños de Sky.

### **Mariposas**

Las mariposas son encontradas por primera vez por el jugador en la Isla del Amanecer, después de descubrir el primer Niño de la Luz. Son abundantes en Isla del Amanecer y se pueden ver en casi todas las áreas, especialmente en los campos de mariposas, donde se puede adquirir la expresión del cazador de mariposas. Además, también están presentes en el Arca olvidada, donde aparecen, junto con los pájaros, como resultado de devolver la Luz Naranja. Por último, también aparecen en las últimas partes del Ojo del Edén (la página contiene spoilers).

Al igual que todas las criaturas de luz, recargan la energía del cabo del jugador cuando el avatar se acerca a ellas. Las mariposas también reaccionan cuando el jugador lanza una Llamada profunda, otorgando un impulso hacia arriba, que puede usarse para llegar a terrenos más altos. Una llamada profunda elevará el avatar lo más alto posible, normalmente un punto elevado por encima. La expresión de Encantador de mariposas, si se usa cerca de ellos, atrae a una de las Criaturas, que luego se sienta en la mano del personaje y adopta un tono rosado, lo que proporciona una recarga más rápida. Las mariposas vienen en varios colores. Las mariposas amarillas se pueden ver en todas partes y las mariposas azules se pueden ver en las carreras y el estadio en el Valle del Triunfo.

### **Aves**

Las aves se introducen en la Isla del Alba. Aparecen en su mayoría de color blanco o blanco grisáceo, mientras que algunos más grandes tienen marcas doradas y blancas similares a las de las mantas (ver más abajo). Volar cerca de los pájaros recarga la energía de la capa a una velocidad moderada y, si el jugador entra en contacto con uno, la criatura libera una llamada distintiva y la energía se repone muy rápidamente. Los jugadores pueden recoger la llamada de pájaro del área del Nido de Pájaro de la Planicie de la Luz, aunque esto no desbloquea ninguna habilidad especial. Se encuentran en casi todos los reinos y parecen emerger de varios puntos en las nubes cuando viajan en bandadas, lo que significa su relación con la Luz.

Consisten en dos especies diferentes; uno que se parece más a un avión de papel, y uno similar a los pájaros de la vida real, y que se ve en áreas como el espacio social de Planicie de la Luz y el Arca olvidada.

### **Mantas**

Basado en mantarrayas, las mantas en Sky son criaturas del aire; son predominantemente blancos con alas y colas adornadas con oro. Aparecen por primera vez entre Isla del Amanecer y Planicie de la Luz, y luego son una característica común en los Reinos. En Valle del Triunfo, los jugadores pueden desbloquear la Llamada Manta desde el área de la Ciudadela, que no induce ninguna interacción con la Criatura. Las mantas están presentes en todos los Reinos, incluido el páramo dorado, donde aparecen en el Templo Roto, y en forma de Espíritus / Mantas Cósmicas en la Bóveda del Conocimiento (ver más abajo). Sin embargo, las "mantas" parecen parecerse más a las rayas águila que a las mantarrayas.

Junto con las misiones de campana en las islas santuario, se ha demostrado que existen diferentes versiones de Manta. Desde mantas pequeñas del tamaño de aves, hasta mantas grandes casi del tamaño de ballenas o de dos aletas.

#### **Espíritu Mantas**

Estas criaturas, también conocidas como **Mantas ligeras**, **Mantas fantasmas** y **Mantas cósmicas**, se encuentran exclusivamente en la Bóveda del Conocimiento, comenzando en el cuarto piso. Son las variantes translúcidas de las Mantas discutidas anteriormente. Al igual que las otras mantas, hay más pequeñas y más grandes de estas especies. El jugador puede montarlos para llegar a plataformas más altas, y aterrizar en ellos repondrá la energía del cabo.

Los jugadores pueden recoger la Llamada de manta espiritual en el cuarto piso de la Bóveda del Conocimiento, lo que requiere que el jugador haya desbloqueado la Llamada de manta de antemano.

#### **Anciano Manta**

Cuando se recoja la campana final en las Islas Santuario, lo que parece ser un alfa o rey de mantas se levantará del mar. Dado que es imposible alcanzarlo, se desconocen sus efectos.

#### **Mantas de espíritu anciano**

Estos parecen una versión más grande de mantas espirituales y tienen varias "alas". Son transparentes con ribetes dorados y lucen un estampado de estrellas en la espalda. Se encuentran exclusivamente en la Bóveda del Conocimiento y llevan linternas en la espalda. Los jugadores pueden montarlos para llegar a las linternas, y también repondrán la Energía del Cabo.

### **Medusa**

Las medusas parecen translúcidas y pueden reponer la energía de la capa. Aparecen por primera vez en la Planicie de la Luz, en la entrada al área de rompecabezas para ocho jugadores y también en las Islas Santuario. Sin embargo, aparecen de manera más prominente en el Bosque Oculto. También se encuentran bajo el lago helado en el Valle del Triunfo y aparecen en las partes finales del Edén. Al aterrizar en una medusa, también ayudan al jugador a mantenerse a flote.

#### **Medusa grande / Rey**

This variant of Jellyfish is found exclusively in Eye of Eden (Spoilers!). They look the same as their regular counterparts, except with a "crown" on their head.

### **Fungi**

**Fungi** are exclusively found in Hidden Forest, growing on tree trunks. They are similar in design and functionality to the Jellyfish (see above). As Light Creatures, they replenish cape energy and act as safe havens from the rain that perpetually depletes players' Light. When structured in an upward-leading manner, they are often used as ladders to reach elevated gazebos or higher ground (Which can prove useful if the player wants to get a Star/Winged Light above). Dead fungi turn opaque and become the same color as the trees.

### **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.

Whales can only be found in very specific locations; Underground Caverns below Sunny Forest, in the cloud-covered space between the Valley of Triumph and Golden Wasteland and also in one part of Eye of Eden (page will contain spoilers). Players cannot directly interact with Whales as they tend to feature in cutscenes or appear in the distance from where players spawn. Some players have been able to approach to the Whale in Eden as well as the one in Hidden Forest. These players have noted that contact will provoke damage – i.e. losing cape energy and perhaps Winged Light. Getting close to the one between the Valley and the Wasteland does not appear to cause any damage. There are also accounts from other players asserting that no Whale will cause players to lose Cape Energy. This must be tested further.

The Whale, along with the mantas are the only creatures whose remains are seen in Sky; its bones can be found in the Boneyard area of Hidden Forest. What remains is a large skeleton overgrown with dark plants which, when burnt away, unlocks the Whale Call for everyone in the area. The bones of what appears to be a Whale can be found on the Fifth Floor of Vault.

### **Dark Crabs**

    **Dark Crabs** are first discovered by the player in the Sanctuary Islands in Daylight Prairie, though they are prominently found in Golden Wasteland. They are commonly abundant in areas of water. If approached, Crabs will charge at the player, both knocking the avatar down and depleting Cape Energy. When a player is hit repeatedly, it is also possible to lose Winged Light and thus Cape Wedges. Pressing and holding on the player avatar to release a Deep Call will cause them to flip over (though this is sometimes delayed), making them harmless for a while and allowing players to carry them around, but they will be dropped if they try to fly. Crabs that have not been flipped over will help up Crabs that have been flipped. If you release a Call while in the air, they will be stunned without attacking. However, repeatedly spamming Deep Call will cause Crabs to stir again. Another way to avoid getting hit by these creatures is to dodge them using calculated jumps and turns.

In addition, crabs are found in the cave in Forest's Brook, along with the Forest Temple; The Maze area of the Valley Temple; The Forgotten Ark In Wasteland (in the caves and ship-like structures); The Archives in Vault of Knowledge, and the Secret Area in Vault. Lastly, Crabs play a small part in Eye of Eden (Page contains Spoilers).

*Note: There is a special variant of uncorrupted crab found in the secret area and a remote archipelago in Sanctuary Island which are harmless and simply roam around. These crabs do not have dark dust falling off them.*

### **Dark Dragons/Krill**

    **Dark Dragons**, also known as “**Krill**”, are first encountered by the player in Golden Wasteland's Upper Swamp. They are large, black-colored, floating Dark Creatures with multiple legs and one cyan glowing eye which searches the terrain for players. Four wander in the Graveyard area, three emerge in the Battlefield after the player activated the cutscene to enter the Wasteland temple, and one patrols the Shipwreck to the right of the Graveyard. One is located at The Forgotten Ark guarding the entrance. Lastly, they play a significant role in Eden.

The luminescent blue eye turns red when a player, or a Creature of Light, enters its field of vision on the ground. When the light becomes red, the Dark Dragon(s) will target and follow the player(s) that triggered it and charge towards the creature after a delay of around five seconds. The light first turns red, then begins flashing rapidly. To avoid the impending attack, the player needs to hide behind objects that hinder the Krill's field of vision, such as columns, walls, rocks, etc. However, the Dragon will remain in the area for a while, to determine if the Sky Kid reappears after being noticed. Thus, it is advised to remain hidden for a while to ensure the Dragon has returned to its path before continuing. Dark Dragons follow a set route around the area, which may prove helpful in predicting the movements of the Creature. The krill seem to be intangible but has a semi tangible shock wave like call that knocks down the player and throws of his/her Winged Light.

An attack by a Dark Dragon causes the player to lose several Winged Light, normally between one to three – though it could be as high as six at a time. The Winged Light will be knocked out of the player and land in the form of an orange Wing icon with a white light column. The player may attempt to recollect them, but they will eventually disappear after a few seconds. Also, any that land in polluted water will disappear almost instantly. Moreover, the avatar will have lost its Light, rendering the process of gathering them very difficult – especially since they fly in different directions. Any player nearby may also collect the scattered Winged Light for the one affected. The lost Winged Light will transform back into Children of Light and can be found again in their original locations. The location of the Child of Light's respawn is entirely random, meaning that there is no method of knowing its exact position.

*Note: If someone is spotted by a Dragon and heads towards where another player is standing, the Creature will inflict damage to both. The same is true if players are holding hands when spotted by a Dark Dragon.*

### **Shadows**

    **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. They appear as misty creatures with a pair of swirly red "eyes". They follow a path and will not stray from it, and cannot sense light creatures. The player must avoid the creatures, or else their light will be extinguished immediately. When granted the Wisdom of Courage, the player is able to walk through, or destroy the Dark Creatures in order to reach the end of the Trial of Fire. This makes them the only dark creature you can destroy.

## Miscellaneous/Neutral Creatures

### **Sky Children**

**Sky Children** (also referred to as *Descendants*, *Sky Kids*, *Avatars*, and (for new players) *Moths*) are the playable characters in Sky: Children of the Light, and among the first Creatures/Characters in the game. They can be decorated with Cosmetics, use Props, light or burn certain things with candles or express themselves with Expressions.

Sky children are humanoids with white hair and mitten-like hands. Their eyes are always closed, yet they seem to glow when putting on most masks. Their skin colour depends on the pants they are wearing; they are either black, dark indigo or brown. There is a light in their chests; if they pull out a candle, the light disappears.

### **Fish (Koi/Swordtails)**

Based off real-life fish, these Creatures are first discovered by the player at Home inside the little pond where Traveling Spirits will appear. Later, they are seen in the body of water outside the Daylight Prairie Temple, then in The Forgotten Ark (summoned by the Blue Light), and are finally found floating around in one of the Secret Area's rooms. They don't have any function, but are still fun to interact with. Normally, the fish swim in a group around the pool of water. If interacted with, they swim away quickly and/or scatter when skykids try to touch them.

Though the Message Candle Spot outside the Prairie Temple is named "The Koi Pond", it is the pond that is a traditional koi pond, not the fish. The fish appear to resemble female swordtails, a tropical fresh water fish.

### **Oreo**

    **Oreo** is a black-and-white dog that can only be summoned by seven players who possess the Butterfly Catcher Expression, in the space revealed by completing the eight player puzzle in Daylight Prairie. All seven need to find a little Shrine on the right hand hill and use the Butterfly Catcher Expression (formerly Pray) to uncover a surprise. There are no rewards for a successful unlock. It is for entertainment purposes only; players are able to ride on Oreo's back while he jumps around.

Oreo remains in the space until the player leaves, and has to be unlocked again by seven players to appear each time the player re-enters the space.

*Note: if someone has already summoned Oreo in your server for instance, you will not be able to summon him yourself before leaving the area and returning.*

### **Rhythm Bird**

This mysterious bird-like creature was only seen in the Season of Rhythm cutscenes. It's the ride of the Seasonal Spirits and Guide.

### **Secret Area Cat**

In the Secret Area, after reliving a certain Spirit Memory, a cat riding a broomstick can be found floating inside the office. Players could ride upon its broom. Due to its color scheme, some players think that the cat is actually Oreo.
