Liceor

Liceors (Japanese: クラーラ, Kurāra) are enemies in Xenoblade Chronicles X. They are large bird-like creatures with horn-shaped heads similar to Saltats. They are exclusive to Sylvalum.

Description[]

"Liceors share a common ancestor with the saltats, and in a similar fashion, the males woo potential mates by dancing. However, females also take a male's "fortune" into account, requiring them to amass a collection of jewels, minerals, and curiously shaped stones that are stored in a spherical thoracic pouch. During the dance, the male will fling treasures to divert the female's attention, affording a brief chance to inch closer. Should the male succeed in closing the gap completely, he will have won a mate. If the female does not take to her presents, however, she will dart off."

"Aside from the unique mating ritual, the liceor's main feature is a wildly inconsistent temperament, which can switch from joy to rage depending on the weather."

Color Variants[]

Liceors fall into two color variants:

Silver liceors are silver-grey with blue-grey details. They can drop Giant Blue Pearls.
Golden liceors are a pale golden color with brown details. They can drop Giant Jade Pearls.
