New Savannah creature: The flying squala


MountainDrake

Post

The flying squala is a combination between a flying squirrel🐿️ and a drop bear🐨(a kind of koala). It is mostly koala shaped with the tail and wing membrane of a squirrel and claws and fangs, Its color is red-brown fading to gray towards the face and ends of limbs. It can be found in the savannah on medium and harder islands.

Its abilities are: 1 movement, 6 flying, 1 collecting, 2 strength, 1 defense, 4 eyesight, 2 smelling, 2 camouflage(in savannah), poison resistance, 5 heat resistance

It lives for 20 days and drops 10 food

It spawns in acacia trees🌳 where it spends most of its time, using its 1 collecting to collect the nuts. If it senses a creature of any type coming under its tree it will leap on their head, stunning then just like a coconut does(except bunnies🐇, which are killed instantly). It will remain latched on their head, hitting them each time you make a move, just like the razorana🐟. To remove it simply attack it, which will cause it to run back in its tree. However because it has 1 defense you need at least 2 strength to attack it, which is not so easy with the lean body. If the tree it came from is already occupied(by a winged nicheling for example) the squala will have to go on a ground tile instead. While on the ground it is not capable of attacking, making it an easy target. When on the ground it will try to make its way to the nearest empty tree. Now you might be wondering where does the 6 flying come into effect, since it one needs 1 to get back into the tree. During the night it may chose to fly to a nearby tree. It does not have to be fully in range, it will walk the rest of the way but if you catch it off guard its easy to kill. It cannot fly during the day, except to hop back to its tree, which it needs to be adjacent to. It can only use its leap attack after spending a night in the tree so if it just arrived by flying or was just removed from a creature it cannot immediately attack again. Because being in a tree gives +2 sight you need all the camouflage boosts as well as the scentless from lean body to avoind being detected. Or either distasteful scent or appearance(only 1 needed, not both). If a creature has 2 defense it will not be stunned. The squala will remain attached if the host moves. If you use a flying nicheling to attack the squala while its in the tree it will hit back each time you attack it. Also if a berry bush spawns under a tree the squala can collect from it but it will not get out of the tree to look for them. On mixed islands(grass mingle) it can move into non acacia trees🌴 and can collect snails🐌 and toxic berries.
