A Melanistic Meorlark Takes A Rest By The Pond In Forgotten Shores.

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

(Reblogs highly appreciated!!)

Moochie sleeping on a bed of seagrass.

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!

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.

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

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?

Cringe but free or whatever they say

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.

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.

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.
