Truly a historical moment

[@masonap7367]

Yup

[@Nightmare_DXD]

IN THE NEW RECODE..

[@Pyvv52]

Netter Raptor and Fabled Tales make good docs too 😊

[@myna-xoxo]

@@Nightmare_DXDIM SO EXCITED TO SEE DOCUMENTARIES IN THE RECODE! I HAVE PLAYED OT AND ITS STUNNING

[@That1VideoGamer]

Would love to see fellisio! Because they cannonically act like cats, and cats are known to hunt for sport, it would be intresting to see a felli hunting another creature for fun.

[@SonarRaptorYT]

New Gramoss would be an awesome creature for a documentary. Keep doing more of these, they sound so professional!

[@bep8029]

Shrimp you got the shrimp we got the shrimp yards

[@zolva]

Yes I'll absolutely have to do the gramoss!!! 🧡🧡🧡 &. Thank you!!

[@dylanyea4910]

I highly agree btw I got gramoss when I was a kid like in 6th grade

[@SputnicWasTaken]

[@monohaze2]

@@SputnicWasTakenthey would be like, 12 or 13 now

[@user-je7iw9tp9o]

I would love it if Zolva does ferrah! Ferrah are like the cheetas is sonaria, their description says "Ferrah are creatures built for speed and endurance. Their large chest cavities hold an incredibly strong diaphragm and a pair of lungs, enabling them to sprint long distances without tiring. Although fragile, they hunt best among packs to take down their prey in long distance chases... that is, if their prey even has a chance to escape." With reading this, I think she could do like a pack of Ferrah hunting, or having them do a long distance chase with something. I hope my idea is good! I love these and would love it if my idea got featured in the next one :')

[@MarvelousTBDyt1037]

Wow’ I love it!

[@WolfyloverAlyssa]

i got back into cos after a year recently, and just rediscovered your channel. I stayed in your discord server too! This is amazing, thank you for this video.

[@zolva]

Thank you so much!! That means a lot to me!! Welcome back to the channel also! 🧡🧡

[@WillowHeartz]

Now this is what I call a Documentary! I absolutely love it! Keep up the awesome work!

[@zolva]

Thank you!!! 🧡

[@CheeseThePurpleDragon]

This is so well made what the heck??! Edit: I feel like Beezu or Bazelli would be wonderful for this sort of documentary. It’s even stated that Bazelli knows how to craft tools!

[@zolva]

Thank you!!! 🧡🧡 Bazelli would be fun!

[@Iam_kiinoko]

Ah yes! I’d love to see a beezu hive edit: autocorrect

[@M1eko]

One episode with all the wardens would be insane for a future idea! Love your videos! Keep up the amazing work!!! ❤

[@zolva]

Yes I do aim to do all the wardens! Will be a lot of work but should be fun!

[@wompwompppp313]

The cunning of the Anutill mixed with its intelligent and playful pranks in larger carnivores looking for a meal would be great! ❤

[@Idontknow-qx4ck]

The Jotunhel would be a delightful candidate for its own documentary, if not the Jotunhel perhaps the Aolenus.

[@agentISclickbait]

EEEE NEW DOCUMENTARY!!!! IVE BEEN WAITING FOR SO LONG LOL- I suggest mabye a warden documentary of your choice? Personally i'd like to see a hellion, gara, or boreal one

[@zolva]

Ahhh definitely will do a warden next time!! A lot seem to be asking for a warden..

[@zolva]

Ahhh definitely will do a warden next time!! A lot seem to be asking for a warden..

[@Sky_Aero]

Amazing video! I always loved CoS documentaries, and this one in particular is so interesting, well narrated and ellaborate. Can't wait to see the next episodes, keep up the great work! :]

[@zolva]

Thank you so so much!! That seriously means a lot to me! 🧡

[@AniyahHunter-pm9fg]

We need more of this, a documentary dedicated to sonaria is equivalent of Watching a real life documentary on Animals and life. I wonder what life is like for the Jeff and other creatures of sonaria as it is the most interesting thing I have ever played and wish it to never go extinct

[@AshyProductions]

Love how you mixed lore with how players play as the creatures. 10/10 documentary

[@ammit-3063]

Keen observer is a killer for videos and screenshots xD Was a great video loved the Gobli gyro part I would love to see Valkyrie or Kiridian c:

[@KiwiBird.]

A traiboros or Kriffin documentary would be pretty neat!

[@123rennette]

A documentary :DDDD so happy to finally see it back!!! Also may I suggest doing gyroudus? It is one of my favourite creatures and I would love seeing it in you videos!

[@Whydoiexisthere-]

I can’t wait for the recode! It’s gonna have a ton of new mechanics (my favorite being the water quality, it’ll force players to actually move about) that will make documentaries like this so much more realistic and exciting!

[@keylessdragonball1574]

This was amazing you made the world feel so immersive i need more of this

[@zolva]

Omg so happy I can make it feel more immersive!! 🧡🧡 Such a compliment thank you!

[@Smirn001]

I feel either boreal warden or angelic warden will be magic, amazing and amusing to make a documentary on

[@PestilentAllosaurus]

I'd love to see a documentary of a Dragonixsauria, or Moemoea! These hadrosaur looking creatures are my absolute favorites!

[@cookies6403]

Amazing quality! ❤ I would love to see banishii or hygos in the next video! it would be interesting how you take insight into their in-game descriptions and put them to life!

[@zolva]

Thanks for the idea! ‼️

[@just-arii5571]

Opralegion is a very Majestic creature, i would like to see it on the documentary! And also angelic warden-

[@ayoitssam9939]

Chamei, one of the cutest and yet dangerous creature, being able to drag a creature to the deep dep of the ocean

[@falithiaandreina283]

lol that axothab in the oasis pond killing creatures literallt me although later i was taken down by two aurarons😂 great video btw!

[@AngelicaNightgrove]

Amazing!! I absolutely love these types of videos. The way I'm here 26 seconds after this was posted lmao. Love it!!

[@zolva]

I've seen so many comments from you on my vids, thank you for the dedicated support!!

[@lydiasharker6694]

Please do nindyr, pernirex, and viracniar! They are really underrated, and are such cool creatures! Pernirex hunt in packs, viracniar use their invisibility and haunt breath, and nindyr has eye like patterns! Would be very nice if you did these 3, thank you!

[@brileyromero8969]

Oooo I would love it if you could explain the strange connection of the Banshii and Bazelli.

[@ezzyjanerlegend3456]

Such a beautiful documentary so much detail almost reminds me of an old alien documentary called the future is wild thank you for bringing nostalgia to my heart zolva.

[@zolva]

Ahhh so happy you enjoyed!!

[@MegicTheGriffin]

I can NEVER explain to you how much I love documentaries and how amazing you've portrayed these creatures!

[@zolva]

Thank you SO SO much!!! I love documentaries too!!!

[@thelamergamer6679]

this is what i needed today. thankyou. (its been forever since you ave done a doccumentary, i think the last one was the vaumora one) have a great day/night have i hope everything goes well

[@zolva]

Yes the vaumora was the last one! I tried being more true to the documentary style for this one rather than it being a story. 🧡 Can't wait to make more!

[@godclay7072]

I love the documentary of sonaria and a new episode it’s amazing I would love to see something about banshee as they are my favorite creatures amazing work zolva keep it up🎉❤

[@zolva]

AHHHH thank you!! I tried hard lol! 🧡🧡 SO happy you enjoyed! Makes the effort worthwhile!

[@willowheart6590]

If you haven't done the next episode quite yet, I have a suggestion! Maybe you could do Galtekron, Emphines, or Beezu? Beezu and Emphines are interesting physically and socially, while I've always found Galtekron as a pretty interestingly designed creature.

[@willowheart6590]

Xenolif would be a great one, as well.

[@cometkeiko]

Brilliant!! I wanna be in a documentary soooo bad!!! Do the syroudon next, it’s my favourite sonarian creature!

[@Nobody-rz2rt]

Heyyo :) awesome documentary! I loved how u did ur signarture parrot skin on the bullevaraptor :> Could u maybe do Phyremia, Amolis or Sang next part? Have a nice day!

[@zolva]

Hehe thank you!! I wanted to have one thing as a parrot.. Didn't want them all to be a parrot as it'd break the natural immersion. I'll definitely keep those suggestions in mind! ❤️‍🔥

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS HAHAAAAAAAA FINALLY GOT A DOCUMENTARY WOOO Anyway, Id love to see Some of the volcanic faction e.g Arsonos, Volni And Heis, And the Monster Faction E.g Korathos, Imeaorn and the Xenolif! The Strange [insert name for the developer group] Faction, Like the Horrifying Qurugosk, and The Great Opralegion! (ik i suggested multiple but hey more content to feed gremlins)

yes!! another documentary!!

[@FireburstWOF]

How about a puffwump? Aren't those little popcorn raptors adorable?

[@wildguy4773]

Here is one thing you forgot about aers Despite their respect towards oldest aers, they see other creatures as lesser beings, including *sturbi* who also shares similar origin with aers from celestial means. It's core produces magic that is potent and deadly for other creatures but enough to sustain the magic for their older siblings, *Parahexilians* . Parahexilian is basically eldest of all three creatures that were crafted in the stars, unlike aereis who looks down at creatures being inferior, parahexilians even tough agressive fighters, they are passive and will protect territory and even small creatures especially sturbi. They hide their true nature by imitating organic life. They craft intricate armor of fake hide and metal. Parahexilians need magic to stay alive, the best source is from aereis's energy core, if they overuse that magic, it may lead to paras death, that's one big reason why these two are in such rivaly. Yea rivaly between Parahexilians and aereis is infamous, tough the opposition of the species isn't out of just means, but rather a grudge born out of hatred for aereis arrogance

[@troplex4263]

A korathos documentary would be very cool!!

[@Verydespicablegru]

You should make a angelic warden documentary,or even a documentary about any warden tbh,but angelic would be even better,because of its mythical appearance and lore,its already confirmed to be the creator of opralegion,so it migh aswell be the creator of the aereis species said in the video since they are so similar.

[@DRAGONGAMER689]

I like these documentary's they are like life stories 🎉🎉

[@CaptainPuffwump]

I've always wanted to do a video like this, but i doubt it'd ever be as good as this one lol. Great video! :D Also, is this based off of actual CoS lore? If so, where do i go to learn about it? One last question sorry lol, do you have any tips on how to get good shots like 2:01 - 2:33 on mobile?

[@zolva]

The COS wiki has good lore!

[@jarielmangulabnan3250]

I would want a documentary about the lus-adarch or the sana'ta

[@sloanhilder4910]

I love the quality and it sounds awesome but you could do Pterolythux for one

[@ivanchristoffcariaga1225]

Idea for any next documentaries:The Strategic Defensive poison and Paralysis of Gryvila on how to protect themselves since they are quite weak😊😊😊 (This is just an idea)

[@randomactsofisaacremade3360]

i have a few but you can pick one if you want or meny hygos arsonos kendel gnolrok and finally Parahexilian sorry for any spelling errors. thanks for this awsome video also

[@xXmicoXx]

Here's a few creatures you may use, Dowatt, tundrik, nakamaska, JEFF, Knalriki, Lus-Adarch, moemoea, ura, ani, zethines, Diokrine, Faecalu, fernifly, gorgonichus, galeostra, GRAMMMOSSS, Mekmek, militrua And last but not least sturbi. I hope you use at least one of these creatures as I did work quite hard on the names, either way you wouldn't have to use them anyway I just worked hard to get your mind working :)

[@xXmicoXx]

I also had thought these creatures weren't used as much and are quite unique

[@Goofyahhgamer69]

I swear cos reminds me of monster hunter so much. When I first played it I thought it was based off the game like a spin-off where you play as the monster instead of the hunter

[@heimdall9565]

Imeaorn and gramoss would be really cool because they are both mysterious and huge, like titans of sonaria. Maybe you could make that your title of your next video! So you could make specific videos dedicated to certain creatures like a video on just carnivorous creatures and so on.

[@liamdawsondar9963]

Omg i love it sm

[@zolva]

So happy you do!!

[@DRAGONGAMER689]

This is nice🎉

[@zolva]

THANK YOU :D

[@StotalMissplay]

Oooo I know a few you should do in the next episode kavo is one of them the large crab beasts are astounding oh and the fellisio a deadly predator of the land sky and sea but also playful . Hmmmm what else maybe the starubi or valky maybe even a new one like the geo or glov

[@marcang5725]

I kinda want to see a documentary about volnoirve and Heisoteri. I feel like these two fiery creatures need to explained in your way.
