Abilities

Bleed Attack (3.5)

Bleed Attack is a passive ability, where the user inflicts a specific amount of bleed status on a creature with every bite, excluding with breath/ranged abilities or reflecting abilities. A negative value means that it heals an amount of such status upon biting.

Block Bleed (0.60)

Bleed Block/Block Bleed is a percentage based passive ability that grants the user resistance to getting bleed status from melee attacks at minimum. If an attacker deals 5 bleed per hit and the receiver has 60% Block Bleed, then the receiver gets only 2 of that 5 bleed. This ability is gained gradually as the creature ages. If a creature's Block Bleed is 100%, then they are immune to Bleed inflicted by melee direct attacks once fully grown. If a creature's Block Bleed is negative, it may indicate an extra vulnerability to the status effect.

Block Frostbite (0.55)

Frostbite Block/Block Frostbite is a passive ability that grants the user resistance to getting frostbite status from melee attacks at the very least, and every other source at most. It is percentage based, e.g. if an attacker deals 5 frostbite per hit and the receiver has 60% block frostbite, then the receiver gets only 2 of that 5 frostbite.

Charge (Gore)

Charge is a passive ability that gradually fills an orange "Charge" bar (unique to creatures with this ability) while running. Once completely full, clicking (Lmb on PC or on Mobile or RT on Xbox) will apply special effects on a creature the user is hitting. If the bar is not full, charge effects may be reduced or non-existent. Current Charge types:

Climber

Climber is a passive ability that allows the user to walk on walls and ceilings. To detach from a wall, press the Space on PC. On Mobile, press the dedicated Detach button, or, if the creature has Jump, press the jump button.

Defensive Bleed (1.5)

Defensive Bleed is a passive ability where the user defensively inflicts a specific amount of bleed status on their attacker upon being bitten.

Defensive Frostbite (1.5)

Frostbite touch/Defensive Frostbite is an ability that defensively deals frostbite when bitten.

Frostbite Attack (3.5)

Frostbite Attack is an ability that offensively deals frostbite when biting. A negative value means that it heals an amount of such status upon biting.

Frosty

Frosty is a passive ability that causes the user to receive +25% stamina regeneration, +25% health regeneration, -25% thirst depletion, and -25% hunger depletion during Winter and Famine. Additionally, it prevents getting hypothermia from blizzards.

Behavior

The Varskela likes to find un-opened geodes and will let their children gnaw on it till it cracks and shows the crystals inside (just for fun).

Trivia

Concept by Shugalio_333. The Varskela was inspired by "Naut's prompt for a winter creature with back arms and a purple, blue quartz crystal." (Quoted by concept creator) The crystal in question appears to be an unwatermarked version of a photograph by the photographer Geoff Tompkinson. The Varskela was originally named "Crinstaly", but this was changed.
Modeled by JaxonBirb.
Varskela's price was accidentally set to 7,000 bells and later set to 5,000 bells within slightly less than an hour of the release of Part 2 of the Winter Event of 2021-2022. The change was released in a soft patch, meaning it would only appear in newly-populated servers post-patch at the time and not in older servers.
On the day of Varskela's release, it had a skin coloring bug which caused the player to spawn in-game with most of the customized skin reverting back to the default color version. This bug was fixed in a soft patch on the same day.
Varskela's primary palette is quite similar to Jotunhel's second color palette, albeit the hex codes are not identical and don't follow the same order.
The creature used to lack the Winter Tag on Legacy, a feature most winter-inspired creatures had that granted them immunity to the Winter and Famine's icy winds. The developers confirmed this was intentional. However, due to high player demand, it eventually received it in the update the Yohsog and Tundrik were released.
Varskela is nicknamed "Varsk" and often described as "Crystal thing with arms".
