The Luminara is a mythical flying creature believed to have been created by the Cobaltans. It is thought to have evolved from a powerful prototype creature exposed to intense cobalt radiation, resulting in its current form. Luminara possesses unparalleled control over radiation, enabling it to switch seamlessly between two states: energy absorption and energy release.

● Energy Release Mode: Focused on offense, Luminara can penetrate enemy armor and inflict massive damage.
● Energy Absorption Mode: Prioritizes defense and recovery, granting damage reduction and the ability to heal itself during combat.

Key Abilities:
● Immortality and Rebirth:
A tamed Luminara demonstrates an almost immortal ability. Upon death, it leaves behind a Resurrection Egg. Using specific materials, this egg can be reactivated to resurrect the Luminara.

Taming:
To tame a wild Luminara, provoke it into using its Energy Beam ability, which depletes its radiation energy and has a 20-second cooldown. Keep in mind that if the Luminara doesn’t fire another Energy Beam within 30 seconds, its radiation energy will fully recharge. Once you’ve completely drained its radiation energy, the Luminara will enter a Frenzy state. At this moment, defeat it to obtain a fertilized egg. Incubate the egg under the right conditions to hatch a tamed Luminara.

Hatching:
In addition to meeting temperature requirements, radiation levels must also be sufficient to hatch a fertilized Luminara egg.

Death and Revival:
When a tamed Luminara is killed, it transforms into a Resurrection Egg. By consuming specific materials in the Conjuring Cooking Pot (crafted from Magic Workbench), the Luminara can be resurrected.

Controls and Abilities:
● Left Click: Basic Attack
● Right Click:
1. Energy Beam (Release Mode): Deals damage that penetrates armor.
2. Energy Drain (Absorption Mode): Inflicts damage while healing itself based on a percentage of the damage dealt.
● C Key:
1. Radiation Energy Field (Release Mode): Creates an energy field that boosts the damage and speed of cobalt variant creautres and cobaltstar creatures within its range. (Consumes Void Energy)
2. Radiation Absorption Field (Absorption Mode): Generates an energy field that grants damage reduction and healing to cobalt variant creautres and cobaltstar creatures within its range. (Consumes Void Energy)
● X Key: Mode Toggle. Switches Luminara between Release Mode and Absorption Mode (can only be used while on the ground).
● Hold E: Activate Radiation Mode. In this mode, Luminara emits radiation energy in its surroundings, converting crop seeds in its inventory (carrots, lemons, wheat, corn, potatoes, mushrooms) into irradiated seeds with double yield. (Consumes Void Energy continuously)


Thanksgiving Banquet
Place six different Thanksgiving dishes on the Thanksgiving Dining Table, and then press E to enjoy the treat and be rewarded with the Thanksgiving Buff. Placing Roasted Turkey right at the center of the Thanksgiving Dining Table will bring something special to Explorers.

Pardoned Turkey Event
In the Noviceland biome, Explorers may find wild Turkeys locked in cages. Players will need to break the cage to free the Turkeys. Once they are freed, Turkeys will drop Turkey eggs that provide rewards.
While freeing the caged Turkeys, explorers have a 30% chance of running into special Pardoned Turkey. Killing the Pardoned Turkey will drop the event item “Turkey Feather,” which can be used to summon Dodorex.


Turkey Challenge - Summoning Dodorex
• Upon collecting a certain amount of Turkey Feathers, explorers can use them to summon either a Dodorex (20 mins at 90% chance) or a Dodorex (Permanent at 10% chance) at a cooking pot.

Dodorex
In the world of Pixark, even the weakest and humblest beings have dreams of becoming something stronger. And the Dodo, who is bullied by everyone, may become an existence to be feared by everyone. Legend has it that some dodos with exceptional talent were blessed by the ancestors of the dodo family and evolved into the most powerful Dodorex. Of course the legend is just a legend, in fact, people believe that Dodorex may be the descendants of Tyrannosaurus rex genetically modified by aliens. The biggest basis for this idea is that people have not yet found evidence of the existence of wild Dodorex.
• Tamed Dodorex can bite (LMB) and shoot flames (RMB)
