Personally I really like it :D but I'm curious about others' opinions.
Did a silly
I saw that Flix might be getting redesigned and decided to do my rendition of what I'd want in a redesign! More under the cut ✦
Traits list (some are on the ref but I'll expand on them here):
I changed the palette quite a bit. I like the original black and gold, but it didn't give me space vibes, so I wanted the highlights to vary more in hue. That might be a controversial move, but I like it.
Keeping with the colour change, the blood and fire breath would probably be pink here.
The eyes are on the side of the head. This is inspired by seagulls, and sort of by their herbivory, although I would make Flix an omnivore (if not a carnivore) if I could. There aren't enough omnivores in CoS and I think it would be a better fit for Flix than herbivory.
They walk on their wings and feet like a pterosaur, just because it looks cool. Plus it makes them look a bit less like a different font of bird.
Their wings look more bat-like here. Ideally, they wouldn't; I'm just not good at replicating the canon wings. I wanted to emulate comet moth wings (because comet, like space) but I don't think I pulled it off. I could settle for feathered wings in a Flix redesign, but I have beef with feathered wings in spec evo because they're so unlikely to occur since they're such a derived structure. But CoS is already so unbelievably unrealistic that it's not even spec evo anymore, so whatever lol
The hindlegs are syndactyl, so they can perch! Their toes are also webbed, so they can actually swim! And maybe paddle around on the surface like ducks (wait that's cute... I might animate that).
They have claws on their wings. These would help with perching and perhaps climbing (like if they needed to climb a cliff instead of flying or something; maybe for stealth.
The back wings are attached to the hindleg. That's the case in the canon design too, but I bring it up here for clarity and also to add that I (and I assume the original designer) based this on microraptor's hind-wings. Microraptor beloved <333
I couldn't add them here as they'd obscure stuff even more, but I think there would be a couple more comet-shaped shards down the back. They would be floating particles, like the orbs that they keep adding to new creatures.
I gave them little star spots to make the black areas look like a night sky!
You can't see it due to the hind wings covering it, but the tail has the same gradient as the little danglies on the wings.
I just realised this version makes them look a bit like the Flickaflie, which people seem to already mix up with this guy anyway, so uh, oops. I think they're different enough.
If you have any thoughts to add to this, leave a comment! I'd love to discuss and I'm fine with criticism of this design. I might make a second rendition if I become unsatisfied enough with this. :3
I'm a bit worried about the CoS redesign polls...
They're going to be redesigning two of my favourite creatures (Flixlit and Nymphasuchus), as well as some others, and at least one of the poll options for each would make me hate them
Like I would cry for ages if they made Nymphasuchus a tank because I love how it looks like a crocodile-ferret. Nymph is perfect, he doesn't need a redesign :( I hope that when they do redesign it, they keep its cute toes. I love Nymph
And Flixlit is my main (by far; it's my favourite creature in the whole game) so any redesign that changes it would be a loss in my book. Thankfully the poll currently looks like this
So I doubt it will change much in the redesign. I just don't want the other options because spiky Flixlit would look dumb tbh
Still, I'm slightly worried bc sometimes the redesigns suck. I despise the Pero redesign SO much. They made a fine creature so ugly. They made my sweetie look like a demon. And everyone was mad about Kendyll's bad initial redesign (tbh I didn't mind that one and I actually think the new redesign looks out of place compared to the other creatures) so yeah.
I know this isn't remotely what I normally post, but I need to ramble about this because I'm anxious now. Here's hoping they don't mess up with the Flix & Nymph redesigns.
Hi probably like nobody here plays CoS but anyways i drew cool snake that released yesterday👍👍
(Reblogs highly appreciated!!)
They made a video

Nymphasuchus' redesign dropped! I'm not in the server but my friend made me aware of it.
I'm glad they kept his general shape and gave him more details. I was scared but it's not too bad, I like the tail

Trying to prove a point.
The beast, for reference: (not original colors, I slightly recolored mine)
Propaganda: he doesn't. He's perfect. Especially if you're not really into PvP. You can easily run away, dive and hide with it. He's adorable. He's perfect. Especially because he looks like a prehistoric long legged crocodilian like Kraposuchus. Other crocodilians in game are massive, slow and chunky (kendyll, sarcosiris), so it is a breath of fresh air for reptile enjoyers who also like being sneaky and fast.
Welcome! I'm @gremzon and this is my blog dedicated to the Roblox game Creatures of Sonaria, especially about Nymphasuchus, my favourite creature!
You can call me Grem or Cain, my pronouns are he/him and it/its. I'm 20, neurodivergent, transmasc, repulsed aroace, European. I'm also a digital artist and sometimes I write about my OCS :). I like rocks and eels.

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.
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🦉🌕!
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.
