Internet connection is treating me very poorly so have to post only on here for now💔

Adding Miju and Morth both was the best decision devs made in the last 5 years

I HAD SO MUCH FUN FOR SOME REASON??? At first when looking at Morthorax design I went 'Eugh that's just a Mij- WAIT IT IS OH MY GOD OH MY GOD' The possibilities, the prosperities(i just want to use this word, no idea what it means, but I just feel it). Like imagine a pack of Mijusuimas and there is just one giant Morth, how badass is this. Like some imposa. Sus. Vent or something. Especially if you have a lot of skin variation inside your pack, like, that's so cool. I am a broke mf'er so I do not have Morthorax so I went to play this saturday as a Miju that I haven't played as since like. The moment Recode came out. I got silently adopted by a full pack of Morthoraxi though, they were so wholesome and accepting of a weird new sibling(me) they have just gotten. <3 Went to look for food and almost died by the way if you are interested in this information too. I decided to not eat the food they had 'cause like, they killed it they eat it too. Also at some point there were a lot of kids in the Mesa, I am not sure at what point someone made a nest but. Kinda fun ngl. My favourite activity was to Zero call at everyone for communication, the noise is so cute and funny.

My drawings always feel so underwhelming. Hope some of you like this one anyway.

Months ago I posted about my exterreri, Gnasher. I no longer liked Gnasher’s original colors since I’ve gotten better making skins, so I made a new one. I Love It A lot! The multi-colored yellow frills & axe tail most of all!

I used honey-eyed palette to make it if y’all were curious.

Little creatures of sonaria art go brr

Every cos player has undoubtedly played sochuri. It’s the starter creature most new players are gonna choose & let’s be real immediately discard when they get a bigger creature. It’s inspired by bats with its big ears & description saying it can cling to walls so these headcanons came to me easier than the xeleviprex ones.

Sochuri Headcanons:

- They live in crowded colonies of numerous individuals where they constantly bicker & fight for nesting space.

- The majority of sochuri colonies nest in lava-heated caves & caverns on Volcano Island, however colonies do survive just as well in other habitats. 🌋

- Sochuri can’t survive in year-round cold environments. Even their internal fire-breathing mechanisms can’t warm them up enough to stay in the long run. 🥶

- They mainly forage at night, relying on excellent night vision & highly-tuned hearing to find food. 🌙

- They prey primarily on small, abundant insect creatures. Their favorites being wuggawyrm, flickaflie, beezu & astrothi. 🦋

- Some sochuri are able to form hunting gangs. Together they can even bring down large prey a single sochuri would normally never attack solo. These gangs however are fairly unorganized & uncooperative. Getting into fights in the middle of a hunt & even if they make a successful kill, they’ll squabble for every last chunk of meat. 🍖

- The spikes on the males’ nose, cheeks, & chest are used solely to impressive females. Males with the longest, most perfect spikes are given the chance to breed with any number of available females. They won’t help in raising the young.

- While most males stay in the same colony their whole lives, females regularly move to new colonies. A behavior thats meant to prevents inbreeding.

- Because of their abundant numbers, sochuri are a reliable food source for many predators. Mainly preyed upon by other fliers, like aolenus. 🦇🦅

- Sochuri simply fly away when faced against a predator alone, in a group however they become brazen. The whole group will mob their attacker with breaths of fire sprayed every which way while at the same time screaming loudly to disorient the threat until they leave or the sochuri loose their nerve & flee. 🔥

Let me know what y’all think of these headcanons.

Paru-gama!!!

I still can’t believe this happened, for the very first time ever I got a shadow mutation! Chances of this happening are so rare. I just had to share with y’all. I saw a video on mutations & apparently shadow isn’t actually wanted much since it makes creatures pretty much un-customizable. Imma keep it anyway though, it being around may just convince me to play borenhir more.

Soaring The Skies As An Owl As Dark As Night🦉🌕!

Cringe but free or whatever they say

Moonelle wishes you’ll good luck on the Easter Event! 🐣

all the pixel art i’ve made for creatures of sonaria!

This is my first headcanon post of a specific creature, hopefully the start of many. Surprisingly it’s a creature I’ve hardly ever played since it’s released. These & future headcanons are largely inspired by a creature’s design inspiration, abilities, physiology & already existing descriptions. Now here are….

Xeleviprex Headcanons:

- Xeleviprex prefer living in warm, moist environments with plentiful water. They despise the cold 🥶.

- Adults are highly territorial, but fights between them are rarely life-threatening since they’re immune to others venom.

- They take residence in caves & other dark places both on land & below the water 🌊.

- For those living in habitats that experience harsh winters many may gather in the same cave to hibernate. This & the mating season are the only times they tolerate each other’s presence.

- Mothers are protective of their eggs, but as soon as they start hatching the mothers abandon them. Leaving the hatchlings to fend for themselves.

- Young xeleviprex primary eat plants but as they age they develop a liking & preference for meat. This diet change is believed to have evolved to prevent youngsters from competing with the adults for food🍒.

Let me know what y’all think of these headcanons. I’ll update if I come up with any more ideas.

Murlk pretty much embody the swamps of Sonaria in every way possible. I mean just look at this little guy laying on the lily🪷🥹.

This MASSIVE mangrove tree is probably the most eye-catching feature in swamp now & I love it 🥰!

It adds such a mystical element to this biome by sheer size alone, with glowing buds just being a fun detail. The tree borders the redwoods & tundra biomes so others can see it even from afar. What I like most about the tree are the holes that can be made into a home for smaller creatures.

It didn’t even cross my mind that Swamp Hill’s new overhauled look would extend to the Ardor Warden Shrine too.

I cannot even begin to tell y’all how much I adore the overhauled Swamp Hill! As soon as I saw cos updated I immediately went to explore as murlk. It’s so much bigger now, especially under the water. The flora takes center stage here with glowing seagrass, mangrove trees, luminous dropping buds & much more.

This place has become a semi-aquatic paradise!

Hi probably like nobody here plays CoS but anyways i drew cool snake that released yesterday👍👍

(Reblogs highly appreciated!!)

Mother's Lair

Noctivul are known for their intelligence. This along with their gliding abilities means they can spread to & thrive in even the harshest places in Sonaria. One unique vixen’s survival strategy was observed here.

This albino noctivul living in the frigid mountains regularly visits the hot springs to starve off the cold. She survives mainly on scavenged meat which by the time she finds it, is frozen & difficult to eat. She solves this issue by dunking the meat into hot springs & waiting it to thaw. No other noctivul so far has been observed using this same method, she’s might just be the first.

A female prialoura spends her days nesting as her children play & explore their Flower Cove home. The youngest child being born with leucism.

Clovilowpers are an extremely rare sight to behold. With their ability to sprout new plant life wherever they go, any ecosystem benefits with their presence. In myths & tales it’s said that finding even one of them binds your fate to good luck for a lifetime.

So how much luck do you think is gained for sighting a glimmer clovilowper?

This chamei here left her herd (also known as aggregation) to birth her first ever child in solitude. Once the child is strong enough to keep up with her mother, both will make the dangerous trek to reunite with the others.

A glimmer molangai braves the nightly sub-zero temperatures of the tundra. Strangely enough his herd is nowhere in sight.

I like the idea that most volcanic creatures regularly visit Volcano Island to bath in the lava pools or simply delight in the heat they provide, especially in winter. Kinda like how Japanese macaques warm up in hot springs, but with lava instead.

As night approaches, our melanistic meorlark prepares for a hunt.

While many color-altering mutations in Sonaria would make a fearsome ambush predator like her easy to spot, being melanistic actually works well in her favor. Just look as her black coat blends into the dark waters below.

A melanistic meorlark takes a rest by the pond in Forgotten Shores.

Moochie sleeping on a bed of seagrass.

The warm waters near flower cove are the perfect place for crata peretina to roam about. With food in abundance & warm sun rays shimmering down, life is luxurious. Almost.

At least for Moochie.

Despite having vulnerable skin, his powerful poison & ability to paralyze others means Moochie is largely unbothered by most predators. The bright colors act as a warning & it seems to be a common trait among crata peretina as a whole. His cerata glowing bright yellow & orange do well in warding off threats.

But it also makes him an easy-to-see target for those who are willing to try hunting him.

Turgeons are his greatest enemy.

Observing from up high the mesa’s canyon cliffs, this elegant vorpalus doesn’t reveal herself to most. But she’s usually the first to notice someone new enter her domain.

Dunestrider has lived here for many years.

She is Ringtail’s favorite mate & is older than him too. But unlike him, Dunstrider isn’t as quick to start a fight & usually watches a potentially threat from afar before confronting it. She’s very protective of the mesa waterhole along with any food she finds there. Her favorites being fruits & eggs of ground-dwelling creatures.

Dunestrider is an experienced mother, having raised both Ringtail & the previous male’s kids. Most having survived to even have kids of their own.

May she live long & her bloodline stretch far.
