Coronid

Coronids are large enemies in Xenoblade Chronicles X under the Theroid classification. These enemies resemble gigantic chickens wearing large crowns. Additionally, they make sounds resembling those of elephants.

They are similar to Millesaurs in animation, if not in body shape.

Description
''The pores of these massive creatures absorb ether as a main energy source while capillary action sponges water up through their feet. The crown, which resembles a head, is in fact a defensive adaptation that hides its vital crystalline organs. The presence of such a decoy suggests they once had a powerful natural enemy, though no such foe is known to exist today.''

''Coronids are egg layers. Said eggs are incubated and hatched internally before joining the world via the process of live birth.''

In combat
Coronids primarily attack using ether abilities of many different types, being able to flying Skells and do higher damage when they are weaker.

However, Coronids also have electric abilities, as well as physical stomps for dealing damage that can Stagger enemies. In short, they have high offense in general, although resistance to ether is best in order to prevent destruction, especially from Frenzied Coronids, since they become aggressive during a crimson aurora.

In general, coronids take 25% more damage from Ether attacks and 50% more damage from Thermal attacks.

Variations
Coronids come in two variations depending on their color. Both Coronids drop the same materials.


 * Normal Coronids are mainly blue. These are found on Lake Ciel in Sylvalum during any weather except for a crimson aurora.
 * Frenzied Coronids are pink, and only appear during a crimson aurora. These are found on Lake Ciel in Sylvalum at night during a crimson aurora.

In general, all Coronids drop these items:
 * Coronid Larynx from the eye.
 * Coronid Dung from the posterior.
 * Thick Coronid Hide from the neck (the crown worn by the enemy).
 * Obsidian Cluster from the back.
 * from the four feet.
 * Obsidian Fragment from the main body.
 * Rugged Skin from the main body.
