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.

## 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.

## 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.

 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.

 Mimi |  | **Mimi** is a black and white cat wearing an orange cape that can be found flying on a broomstick in the Secret Area, after reliving a certain Spirit Memory. 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.

 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*.

 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.
