Sonipa

Details

These creatures are native to the Makubwa Lori and have a small population the creatures are solitary and very territorial. They tend to come in shades of green and brown as well as the occasional blue however, this is rare. The creatures have thick skin which is incredibly difficult to pierce and therefore are not commonly hunted. Due to the rarity of their useful parts (teeth, skin, claws and poison) there are no set prices and cost is up to the individual retailer. These creatures are incredibly dangerous and many will keep as far away from them as possible. The only real reasons these creatures would be hunted would be due to them coming too close to the city and threatening its citizens or if somebody required the specific items and could afford to supply hunters to hunt one.

Lifespan and Development

The Sonipa okun uwär can live up to 140 arcs (approximately). The creature takes 40 arcs to reach full size. At around 20 arcs the creature will have also gained the ability to spit poison and by 30 arcs the creature's claws also excrete poison.

Diet

The Sonipa okun uwär is omnivorous, it will eat plants when necessary but it prefers to eat meat. The creature will attack and hunt nearly all other creatures with few being bigger than it in the forest. Another reason it will hunt anything is its thick skin is difficult to pierce harder than any leather and therefore most creatures fail to pierce this thick outer layer.

Temperament

Aggressive and territorial. The Sonipa okun uwär is very protective of its territory, each Sonipa okun uwär in the forest has their own specific area and many of them will make sure not to invade another's as a battle between two of these creatures is severely dangerous for both participants

Abilities

• Poison bite: The bite of the Sonipa okun uwär is incredibly dangerous to anyone who experiences it. The poison that is produced is a neurotoxin which acts quickly to numb the entire area of the bite and spreads from that point, if not treated the Neurotoxin will eventually cause a shutdown of all the nervous system. This complete shutdown can take a few trials it varies based on size but all results if not treated are death.
• Poison spit: The creature can spit poison at it prey or attacker and cause blindness if it goes in the eyes. The effects of the poison act differently from when input directly into the bloodstream and will not result in complete nervous system failure.
• Poison claws: The effects of this are directly the same as that of the poison bite except there is an 8% chance that the poison will not make its way into the bloodstream.

Weaknesses:

Weaker in the cold seasons. The Sonipa okun uwär hibernate during the last 33 trials of Zi'da and throughout Cylus and early Ashan, during this time they can easily be ambushed when hibernating. Heated weapons (meaning they are glowing from the heat) have a higher chance of piercing the thick skin.
