Mijusuima

The Mijusuima is a theropod-like creature with a vague, spinosaurid appearance with large plates covering the top of its body. It sports a variety of vibrant red, orange, yellow, green, and blue colors covering its body, with its underbelly, neck, and the base of its tail being white. It possesses coral-like protrusions on the end of its tail, on its back legs, and on its chin. The Mijusuima appears to have coral horns, and two (2) eyes on both sides of its face (four (4) eyes in total). Its jaw is slender and resembles the aforementioned dinosaur's face above, with thin whiskers hanging from its lower jaw and the top of its head.

**Males**: Males have 6 whiskers underneath the chin.

• Also known as the "paradise dinosaur".
• Mijusuima are ambush predators, preferring to ambush in areas with vibrant coral or flowers, like a flower cove.
• When not ambushing other creatures, Mijusuima can use their mouths, which have sensitive whiskers that can calculate and pin-point the position of fast fish, to hunt. This enables them to hunt even in muddy stream water.
• The coral-like parts of the Mijusuima's body need to be re-hydrated every once in a while, so they can normally be seen in areas with a lot of water/moisture. The hydrated coral bits allow the Mijusuima to cool off in warmer temperatures.
• Mijusuima prefer the microclimates that caves provide, especially if there is water.
• Mijusuima lay their eggs in beds of flowers and their armor and coral protrusions hatch soft.
• Male Mijusuima are considered more attractive if their coral protrusions are larger and more vibrant.

• Concept by Undeary on the Creatures of Sonaria Discord. It was inspired primarily by "Spinosaurs and different coral species," along with being inspired by the new darting mechanics and map redesign of the Official Recode. It was also inspired by tropical animals, and its colors were picked to reflect the colorful nature of the game's recode. Some of the coral types that inspired the Mijusuima's design include fan, tabular, encrusting, branching, and corymbose coral. The Miju part in Mijusuima's name may derive from the Japanese word Mizu, meaning water, while suima might be a pun on swimmer.
• Mijusuima was the winning poll result and one of the three (3) creatures featured in a community poll on the Creatures of Sonaria Discord to become a badge creature for the Official Recode. The other candidates that did not win were the Kyraucus and the Zarkavix, of which were announced to be of unknown status as to whether they may appear in the game in the future.
• The Mijusuima species is no longer obtainable by any normal means. To own one, it must be traded. This creature was only obtainable by buying or being given a Recode Early Access Token and earning the Recode Early Access badge.
• This is the first badge reward creature to ever appear in a long time, with the Aolenus and Keruku predating Mijusuima's existence by roughly 2-3 years. It is also the first semi-aquatic badge reward creature. While being the very first semi-aquatic badge reward creature, it is also the only badge reward creature that can't fly.
