Deep within regions rich in magical minerals, a mysterious and formidable creature roams—Artikel.

A fusion of various beasts, it possesses the serpentine head of a dragon, razor-sharp fangs, the muscular build of a jaguar, a crocodile’s resilient tail, and a flowing mane adorning its neck. What truly sets Artikel apart, however, is its ability to shift colors based on the elemental environment it inhabits. From its back to the tip of its tail, glowing elemental energy pulsates—blazing like fire in a Fire state, or flickering like eerie black flames in a Dark state.


To earn Artikel’s trust, you must approach it in its slumber and feed it magical minerals. But beware—each feeding will awaken it, triggering an aggressive response. You must quickly retreat and wait for it to return to its resting spot before attempting another offering. Using different types of magical minerals can enhance the taming efficiency.


By consuming specific magical minerals, Artikel can temporarily enter a corresponding Elemental State, activating only one at a time:

• Fire: Breathes flames that inflict burning damage. Riders gain cold resistance and immunity to burn effects.
  
• Earth: Encases itself in rocky armor, reducing incoming damage and slightly boosting attack power.
  
• Wind: Unleashes whirlwind breath attacks that deal damage and push back enemies, while also increasing movement speed.
  
• Light: Emits a radiant glow that illuminates its surroundings and can unleash a dazzling flash, frightening smaller creatures.
  
• Lightning: Fires a powerful electric beam—its most devastating elemental attack.
  
• Water: Enhances the rider’s heat resistance and swimming speed. Special attack releases slowing water jets.
  
• Dark: Performs a life-draining leaping strike while granting its rider invisibility, preventing detection by hostile creatures unless attacked.

Basic Attack (Left Click): Switch between bipedal and quadrupedal stances.
● Bipedal Stance: Executes a chain claw attack, alternating strikes while advancing forward.
● Quadrupedal Stance: Delivers a powerful frontal bite.
Elemental Ability (Right Click): Activates an elemental attack based on the current Elemental State, usable in both stances.
Stance Switch (C Key): Toggle between standing on two legs or moving on all fours.
Elemental Roar (X Key): Releases a colorful breath effect for cosmetic display.

Are you ready to tame and master Artikel? We’ll continue unveiling more details about its development—stay tuned! Please don’t forget to share your thoughts in the comments!

Great Nian Beast

The Great Nian Beast is a special kind of Nian beast that only appears during the Chinese New Year. It is much larger and stronger than the ordinary Nian beasts, and has the ability to weaken opponents with fear, ignite, slow and exhaust. It will also buff itself with "Inferno"and "Eternal Night" upon taking damage. However, such a powerful creature is only afraid of the traditional Chinese dragon lantern. Explorers can negate most of the debuff by carrying the dragon lantern to challenge it, and you will also deal increased damage and receive decreased damage.

Skills：
1、Swipe： Regular attack
2、Heavy Slam: Slams the ground with its paws, knocking back enemies.
3、Soul of the Nian Beast: Releases Soul of the NIan Beast to attack the enemies in front, dealing “fear” debuff along the way. (Immune to Dragon Lantern and players carrying dragon lantern)
4、Dance of Blessing: A special kind of dance among the Nian Beasts, which will buff itself with “Force of the Nian,” increasing its damage while taking less damage. It will reflect a portion of the melee damage taken to the attacker. Dragon Tail Lantern can eliminate this buff.
5、Flamethrower: Deals damage and applies an ignite DOT. The ignite DOT can spread among enemies during the “Force of the Nian” buff. (Immune to Dragon Tail Lantern and players carrying dragon tail lantern)
6、Outrage: Slams enemy multiple times and roars at the very end. Each slam deals damage, and slows enemy if it has the “Force of the Nian” buff. The roar decreases enemy attack damage, and decreases enemy defense if it has the “Force of the Nian” buff. (Immune to Dragon Lantern and players carrying dragon lantern)

Boss will buff itself with “Inferno” during the second phase, which will increase its damage.
Boss will buff itself with “Eternal Night” during the third phase, which will increase its damage while taking less damage.

It’s your turn to decide—cast your vote for the creature that inspires you the most and give it the chance to embark on an unforgettable journey!

Its tiny body grants it remarkable agility, allowing it to dart through the grass to gather edible items.
