Mother's Lair

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Cringe but free or whatever they say
