|fauna7desc    = The Gallovian Geep is a creature covered in dark colored wool that has adapted to the rocky terrain of [[Gallovia]]. The Geep has unknown origins, with some assuming the [[Elves]] brought it to the region from elsewhere in [[Aloria]] while others feel they are native to the mountains that cover the island in which they inhabit. Regardless of their origins, the Gallovian Geep has provided milk, wool, and meat for the native Gallovians for over two centuries. In recent years, their numbers near the main cities have been reduced as the Gallovians pull them back to the mountains to prevent them from being bred into average sheep and goat stocks.
|fauna8    = [[Elladorian Mountain Trodder]]
|fauna8desc    = The Elladorian Mountain Trodder is a sturdy goat that originated in [[Ellador]]. They nearly went extinct when Ellador was transformed into the colder continent it is today, but [[Isldar]] and [[Dwarves]] helped to keep them safe as they adapted to the frostier climate. Nearly a century later, [[Velheim]] [[Ailor]] domesticated and helped spread the Trodder across [[The North Belt]] and into northern regions of the [[Regalian Archipelago]]. They are well known for their thick coats and nutritious milk, with Northern families sometimes forced to make the difficult choice in harsh winters of whether to kill their animal for its warm coat or keep it alive for its milk.

Aloria is rich in both fauna and flora. This page specifically is dedicated to all recorded, extinct or still living, animals that roam the world of Aloria. All animals are split into their relevant categories. Keep in mind that this list is not final and will be added to when necessary. As a player you may claim one of the animals and try to write a Player Lore Prompt, though remind yourself to consult Lore staff about any relevant descriptions! Anyone is permitted to Roleplay a domesticated feline, canine, or songbird where applicable. For any other wild animal, please consult Lore staff as some animals are too wild and hostile to survive in an urban city like Regalia.
