Cos Sochuri - Blog Posts

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.
