Changes: Rayvians

Revision as of 04:33, 19 October 2020

Rayvians are decorative bird-like creatures found in The Overgrowth and several areas of The Moss Blanket. They were added to the game in Update 0.3.5, and went unnamed until their names were confirmed in a tweet by Monomi Park.^[1]

Appearence and behavior

Ravians vaguely resemble beakless birds with white plumage on the tops of their bodies, while underneath they come in a variety of colors; purple, yellow, orange or light blue, and typically fly in a group in a circular pattern. When in The Overgrowth, they continuously fly around The Overgrowth's central platform. They spawn when The Overgrowth and several designated spawning locations in The Moss Blanket are loaded, and begin to fade after anywhere from ~5-15 seconds. The only way to respawn them is to unload and reload the area. Ravians cannot be interacted with and do not serve any apparent purpose, solely existing as non-interactive environmental decoration.

Origins

Rayvians may be a cross between a Ray, and a bird. Their colorful undersides may be based on birds that use bright colors to attract a mate. Flying in groups is typical of bird migration.

Their name, "Rayvian", is a portmanteau of "Ray" and "Avian", meaning "bird".

Changelog

0.3.5 - Added, along with the visual update of The Moss Blanket and The Overgrowth
