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.
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.
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.
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 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 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.
all the pixel art i’ve made for creatures of sonaria!
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.
- 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.
Recently departed from his mother’s care, this cautious exterreri wanders Sonaria with one goal in mind. To find a new home of his own.
Meet Gnasher.
During the night Gnasher travels throughout the biomes in search of an unoccupied territory to call home, using his dark colors to stay hidden. At daybreak he retreats back into caves he’d happens to find while searching. Despite his caution he’s not incompetent, he hunts for himself well & has a liking to the taste of sochuri & xeleviprex.
Gnasher’s recent travels has landed him here in swamp hill. There’s caves to sleep in & trees to climb, he might just make this his new home.
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.
