Denjzi

The Denjzi is a large 2-legged creature with a giant woody shell with spikes forming on its back. They have long bodies with 6 lateral fins, 2 pairs close to the base of the legs and the remaining one close to the end of the shell, located where their back legs should be. Their tails present a larger webbed fin used for swimming underwater. They also have two ear fins protruding from the sides of the head and 4 horned spikes on their back neck. On the bottom jaw, they present 8 whisker-like long decorations, first two smaller pairs next to the snout and 4 leafy-end, larger ones short decorations on the base from the jaw.

**Males**: Males have a single crest on their snouts, with a small floating element on the tip.

• Denjzi can travel vast distances without the need to rest.
• Denjzi use their bioluminescence to attract prey in the darker, deeper regions of the sea.
• Denjzi usually travel in groups of 2-3, however seeing a lone Denjzi is not uncommon.
• Denjzi are opportunistic and will eat anything they can find.
• Denjzi can be highly aggressive if provoked.
• Denjzi nest annually and produce 3-6 eggs, though usually, only 25% of a litter will survive to adulthood.
• Denjzi can be very social with their groups, but aggressive toward outsiders, including others of their species that they find unfamiliar.
• Denjzi will often roll around in the sand to rub off parasites or for fun.
• Denjzi can communicate to each other through ‘dancing’ or ‘courting.’
• Denjzi will sleep on the tops of kelp, anchoring themselves to it using their arms and using the kelp leaves as a pillow to lay on.
• Denjzi prefer colder waters and their shorelines.

• Concept by HappyPoltergeist and torviin. Inspired by sea monsters on pirate maps, treasure, pirate ships, ocean waves, eels, sea dragons, and turtles. The Denjzi was originally designed as a large snapping turtle-type creature.
• Denjzi has purplish-pink blood. In real life, the change in color is caused by hemerythrin, a respiratory pigment of a purplish/violet color once oxygenated, replacing hemoglobin in several invertebrates. Due to this, when dying, Denjzi drop purple meat in Legacy.
• Some unknown bug causes the Denjzi to randomly lose the ability to harm NPCs in Legacy. It is unknown if this bug still exists, due to the lack of NPCs in Recode.
• During the Summer Paradise Event 2023, Denjzi's mission was initially shortcutted by players using Novus Warden's cloud breath. The developers responded to the situation and changed the mission to become less easy to grind shells during part 3 of that event.
