Murlk Pretty Much Embody The Swamps Of Sonaria In Every Way Possible. I Mean Just Look At This Little

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

My main blog is dedicated to Sky: Children of the Light here @wanderingskychild

I’ve been playing COS for a while & just wanted a place to upload screenshots of some of my favorite creatures & some ocs. Not to mention descriptions on the ways they survive, their relations with others & some headcanons for some species. Observed through the perspective of wildlife photographers.

This blog was largely inspired by Somalian Roger & his Documentary videos on YouTube. So check them out too. Enjoy! 😊👍

Patrolling a vast territory spanning from mountains to pride rocks, a female glimmer ghartokus dwells.

This is Bramble.

Despite her mutation making her easy to spot, she’s still a skilled hunter. Working around her disadvantage by hunting slower targets & using her size to steal kills from other predators. Hunting herself, she primarily targets gramoss, felikxtrox, lerachu, young lmakosauruodon & occasionally the herds of moemoea & avothius that pass through her territory.

Lately though Bramble has been seen gathering materials into a nest beneath pride rocks. Seems this powerful huntress is soon to be a first time mother.

That begs the question though, who’s the soon-to-be father?

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

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🦉🌕!
