Physiology

 

Plaklatras strongly resembles an primate’s in its appearance and movement, even borrowing some of its attacks. However, notable differences include Plaklatras' broader muscles, hairy tail tip and its ability to use electricity-based attacks.

 

Abilities

 

The Plaklatras' most notable attack is its ability to use the electricity on its body as a shield. They are hated by many hunters, due to their combination of speed, aggression and power. They are also well known for their dramatic angered state, in which much of the fur on their front body rises and becomes yellow.

 

Habitat Range

 

Due to the Plaklatras' near-permanent nomadic lifestyle, it's not entirely certain where the Plaklatras is capable of living, though it's not far-fetched to assume that it can live just about anywhere. However, there have been regular sightings in high-altitude areas, for the most part, so it's safe to say that "If there's cliffs, there's Plaklatras' ". This phrase is a direct result of its most common habitats, Mountainous regions including volcanoes, canyons, tropical jungles and frozen mountains, the Plaklatras apparently doesn't care. The Plaklatras can also be called a "wanderer".The known habitats of Plaklatras consist of the mountains, snowy areas, and forest. Sometimes there can be incidents of Plaklatras wandering into the towns.

 

Ecological Niche

 

In almost any habitat that the Plaklatras happens to be passing through, it enforces itself as the apex predator of the surrounding area. Its nature and adaptations allow it to hunt and prey on virtually anything smaller than itself.

 

The reproductive patterns of Plaklatras are, at best, elusive though its known that Plaklatras' don't have electrical abilities when they are born. Young Plaklatras' gain their electrical powers by feeding on an electrical eels and the same goes for adults. Hunting Plaklatras' in force would now seem a more sensible choice after hunters are faced with such a task. In their chosen habitats Plaklatras are forced to compete with equally fearsome predators. These predators are capable of seriously wounding Plaklatras due to its unarmored body.

Unexpectedly golden fur from Plaklatras' have been found in clomps around the areas they wander in.

One would think that the great size difference and Plaklatras' lack of armor would make it easy prey.Plaklatras' speed advantage, comparable raw brute strength, and amazing control over the thunder element.

Biological Adaptations

 

Plaklatras is one of only a handful of monsters able to wield deadly lightning. How it produces its charge is a electrical inner organ. Plaklatras are extremely fast and nimble despite their size. Plaklatras exhibits extreme physical strength, easily knocking a hunter off his/her feet and into the air. Plaklatras' natural high aggression and rage only seem to amplify its strength and electrical power, forcing it into its enraged state. When enraged, Plaklatras is even faster and more deadly than its already powerful base form. In this enraged state, Plaklatras is probably able to be on par or possibly even overpower. It is believed that the tail of the Plaklatras has something to do with its electrical powers, as when the tail is able to be cut it loses its electrical power instantly, though this only applies to average Plaklatras. Some Plaklatras stay in their enraged form and are known to be extremely violent and powerful, they are usually found in the Canyons or Mountains. These Plaklatras' power is believed to have something to do with their heart.

Just recently, it was discovered that Plaklatras' have a unique defense against threats. When in danger, they will increase the strength in their arm and legs and they will be able to deal more damage and move even faster. This unique adaptation can also harden the muscles to increase its defense. Interestingly, their arms and legs will glow red indicating this.

There appearance is also different, they have blue eyes and very long golden hair when enraged. They use new attack techniques taking advantage of their strength, including attacks like jumping high into the air, covering their fists in electricity in mid air and landing fist first causing a quake and rocks to pop up from under ground with such force hunters hit get launched by the rocks. They show a different intelligence during its rage by following its target while punching leaving the targets only means of escape out-running or jumping through the fists as they are covered in electricity, and rolling into a ball covered in electricity able to hover over the ground going in a straight direction.

Even more rare is the feared Red Plaklatras' sightings of this creature are very few even lower. This Red Plaklatras has improved abilities and the most power of any Plaklatras ever reported, this Plaklatras is most famed for its ability to create a ball of electricity much larger than itself and let it slowly hover towards the ground creating a pure white flash large enough to be spotted possibly a mile away within this flash everything within gets electrocuted to death besides the Plaklatras itself.

Behavior

 

Outwardly, the Plaklatras is considered to be the most aggressive and powerful of primates species known thus far, and as such, many consider this to be an outright brutal creature in all its aspects.

It's a common belief that the Plaklatras is a loner due to being highly aggressive, and this thinking leads people to believe that Plaklatras' will typically attack each other on sight. In a sense, that's correct. Plaklatras are unique in that they're the only known species in their suborder to live a majorly solitary lifestyle, as opposed to the far more sociable primates. This makes it very confusing to understand how they mate.

Against most prey, the Plaklatras will quickly and effectively pummel the target to death using either its fists or its horns. In the chance that the target food is too far away - or too fast - the Plaklatras will expel either a burst or beam of energy, almost always paralyzing or killing the prey, usually instantly. Either way, the result is an easy meal for the Plaklatras. Though rare, some Plaklatras' have been seen in pairs. These pairs most likely could be mates.

 
 
 

OOC

 

 

Hello fellow peoples and hunters of LOTC, yes I am aware this creatures are from something else just edited. But hey there’s many things in lore or such that are on the server from different places, so why not give it a shot.

 

Anyway to give a short idea for these creature and maybe questions.

Are the creature playable ?

Yes and no…  

 

I’d think it would be better if an ET actor would play the creature, because there will not be a skin for the monsters. I find that rather hard to make and for others to make, with such limits. If the creature are accepted I would like them to be built and copy and pasted to the areas with signs to connect whom to play them.

 

No, as players aside from ET members.

 

Whats the point of them being in Athera?

 

Well, unseen creature in the world can be fun, either for hunting or researching. There are people the love the thrill of the hunt and things to kill for fun or as trophies.

 

How will the creature be represented?

 

As I said before, they will be built with mc blocks. I do not see the point of using mc skin and players to do it.

 

Are they rideable ?

 

Eh.. I'm on the fence about that.. It's very possible if given the chance you can, but you would be hurt or killed. Since they are hostile and will not like that.

 

Can they be capture and trained?

 

Well.. IF there was a percentage chance of capturing, give it a shot I guess. It would be your choice to do what you want with the creature but remember they are very heavy, so it would be best to have a few orcs to help you take it.

 

Tameable.? That is another tricky idea.. Due to them being very hostile and predators it is very unlikely to tame them as pets or friends. Leading to my Druids out there

.

Well these creature would be in the animal category so Druids would be able to talk to them, on the other hand since they are hostile and want to eat,kill and fight with you. Druids would have a hard time calming the creature if lucky they'd calm them

.

What do you get from killing the creature?

 

Well the reward from actually hunting and staying alive from the hunt you would be rewarded with such loot. If hunters brought a skinning knife or a sword to skin the creature for their pelt,hide and what not. Others would take the bones or teeth from them using for weapons or trophies. If hungry heck, use the meat as a meal for yourself and your fellow hunters.

 

Why are they so over powered ? Why can't I fight them one on one?!

 

This creature and a lot tougher and stronger than even an Orc. Their skin and bodies are a lot thicker and resistant to just a flesh wound. It would take at least a good 5-8 man with armor and Mages to attack one head on. If you was to fight one head on there is a 100% you would not make it for more than an hour, you would be a toy for the creatures.

 

Do they have any weaknesses? How is the best way to take them down?

 

Well, I don't want to ruin the fun or spoil the ways to proper hunt the creature. As hunters you must look around the surrounding you and the creature would be around and let that speak more for you. I really don't want to tell the weakness because that would break the point of the RP fighting it and players should be surprised on these encounters.

Until electrical charge stuff is better explained. Doesn't seem to make sense besides 'it should have lightning because that's cool' atm.

I'll explain more:

 

"Young Plaklatras' gain their electrical powers by feeding on an electrical eels and the same goes for adults." 

 

I might didn't make it clear, having their diet STRICTLY on electric Eels as a primary food source , them being small and able to eat them for many years. Somehow giving them the high resistance and giving them similar electrical shocks. 

 

So its not summoning electricity from the skies, if that's what you was thinking :)

This makes no real sense to me. That would be a valid reason for them being immune to electromancy but not a reason they can then shoot electricity themselves.

Understandable, not that you think of it I will edit that part. I was thinking of it as like an electrical shield. I think I should stress that more. :)

 

 

 

 

Fixed!

It is the same reasons as all the other creatures you made Zero.
