List of Fauna: Difference between revisions

From MassiveCraft Wiki

Revision as of 11:39, 15 July 2018

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.

Mammals

Primates

Includes all simians such as monkeys, apes, hominins, lemurs, lorisoids, and tarsiers.

Primates

Ogre	Ogres are grey or blue Human-like creatures found in the north of Aloria in areas of southern Ellador as well as northern Essalonia. Their history is ancient, going back as far as the days of the Drovv, to more recent times, in which they harassed Velheim Ailor who dared to encroach the territory of their Truggs, or groups. These Truggs are led by Chieftains, who speak for their Truggs in the annual “Great Horn” debates across the north. Ogres are known especially for their alchemically-valuable blood, and for their heavy, durable bones, which are sought after by artisans and Orcish weaponsmiths alike.

Troll	The Troll, a smaller and more reclusive cousin of the Ogre, is a monstrous beast found in southern Ellador and eastern Jorrhildr. Trolls are well known for their fierce attitudes and cannibalism among their own species. The finer details concerning Trolls are unknown due to this aggression and their pension to live underground. They are marked as a danger by both Ogres and Alorian Races alike but as they breed and live underground, it is unlikely their numbers will sufficiently dwindle.

Orantrang	Unique among the alien fauna of Solangeria's lush rainforests, the Orantrang is a rather peculiar ape, with unique adaptations to help it survive in its harsh environment. The Orantrang was first observed shortly after the first contact with the Solang much further in the past than Elven records count back. The Orantrang are extremely docile, in stark contrast to the unforgiving landscape. The adaptation that keeps such a friendly creature alive, however, are scent glands that emit chemicals into the air that essentially pacify all nearby living things, resulting in predators simply ignoring the apes as they swing from tree to tree. In fact, hostile feelings seem to be repelled from the area entirely, which prevents others from even thinking about attacking anything. This gives them a particular use among Solang settlements, as simply having them around essentially nullifies all of the wildlife that constantly tries to kill them. The apes are revered among the Solang as spiritual beings, and the two species peacefully coexist with one another. Internationally however, Orantrangs are generally sought out to be kept in prisons in order to keep the inmates passive.

Tree Basterion	Within the jungles of Hadaria, many explorers who stumble across the wrong cluster of trees are soon bombarded with hard fruits and screeches, a typical greeting from the Tree Basterion. These odd primates are exotic to say the least, with large hands, odd green fur, and an interesting hoarding instinct. The oldest records of the Tree Basterion date back to around 2900 BC, and come from the Elven Empire; while the oldest non-Elven records are from 295 AC. As its name implies, the Tree Basterion has a great affinity for climbing in the jungle and often only comes to the ground to collect rocks and fallen fruits. While reclusive in its present state, the Tree Basterion continues to showcase Hadar’s exotic fauna as well as its scarred past.

Long Tail Leasier	The Long Tail Leasier is a monkey well known for possessing a tail that is twice its own body length, which lives in the jungles of southern Ithania. Contact between them and the outside world has been frequent, from the time of the Varran Empire to the recent Elven War of 302 AC, which saw their population drop as their forest home was harmed by the conflict. They are also a highly sociable animal but react viscerally to any aggressive attempt to hold or squeeze their tails, though domesticated varieties often grow accustomed to such incidents. It is likely that the Long Tail Leasier will soon be openly thriving in the jungles once more while their domesticated compatriots raise their profile overseas and across Daen.

Capuchini	The small and intuitive Capuchini monkey, native to Montania, is something of a bane to local merchants. Their dexterous hands and curious disposition contribute to a seemingly kleptomaniacal nature; fruits, trinkets and assorted rubbish all fall prey to their inherent greed. An annoyance and inconvenience to the native population, the Capuchini monkey is loved by children and sailors but scorned by vendors and commercial travelers.

Frosthorn	The Frosthorn makes up a trio of well known northern primates in Aloria along with the Troll and the Ogre. What makes the Frosthorn unique, however, is its naturally present forked antlers growing from its forehead while its massive size is also notable. In addition, the animal is shrouded in mist, having lived at the edges of major civilizations for several centuries if tales and wall art is to be believed. The animal is also notable as having recently appeared at the Battle of Curag Fields, furthering the mystery around them just as many more mysteries of the past begin to reopen across Aloria in recent years.

Rodents

Includes animals with two incisor teeth on both the top and bottom of their mouths, such as mice, rats, squirrels, prairie dogs, porcupines, beavers, guinea pigs, hamsters, and capybaras.

Rodents

Squirrel	The Squirrel is unique in Aloria as it is perhaps the most widely spread animal aside from birds to exist in the world. The Squirrel is common in the pine forests of the North Belt, the boreal forests of the Regalian Archipelago, and some have even made their way to the jungles of Daen. Easy to domesticate but also easily returned to the wild, the animal is most often a children’s pet or a trick animal of traveling entertainers. Their numbers took a hit recently due to the Bone Horror Crisis but are expected to bounce quickly.

A’evol	The A’evol is a small rodent native to Evokai and in particular, makes its home in the legendary Thoor Trees as well as normal trees that grow there. Their history is a long, if not uninteresting one.; As long as the Lampar and Rashaq can remember, this mammal has lived among the trees, helping to keep the plants clear of wood-eating insects. To the Lampar, the A’evol is viewed as a symbolic representation of their role in the world, protecting nature, making their home in harmony with this nature and with a similar love of climbing to the Lampar. Despite the recent Regalian presence on the island chain, these creatures have been only minimally disturbed, and it seems likely this will continue for many years.

Vile Rat	The Vile Rat is a large and aggressive rodent endemic to the sewers and poor districts of Regalia. Standing between 5 and 9 inches at full maturity and boasting two vicious underbite tusks, this disease-ridden cousin of the Regalian Sewer Rat has been known to strike fear into the hearts of even the most accustomed sewer-dwellers.

Common Rat	One of the most resilient species in all of Aloria, the Common Rat is prevalent everywhere from the frigid forests of Ellador, to the sweltering jungles of Hyarroc. The Common Rat is seen to some as a pest, though it is likely one of the most important creatures in all of Aloria. They live alongside people of any and all cultures and have proven time and time again to be resilient. Also one of the most diverse and intelligence species of mammals, they are used by every aspect of science and Magic to solve complex problems and act as test subjects.

Regalian Sewer Rat	The Regalian Sewer Rat is not nearly as widespread as its other vermin counterparts, because of its habitat -- The Regalian Sewers. Distinguishable from its relatives by the patchy, black fur and constant smell, the Regalian Sewer Rat has proven to be one of the dominant species in the sewers. Because they are much more intelligent than their cousins, they are very difficult to domesticate. Despite the attempts to quell the population, the Rats responded each time by increasing their numbers and have even been seen working together in large packs to chase off exterminators.

Field Mouse	The Field Mouse is the largest known mouse to be found in Aloria, and has a unique feature to it that stuns both farmers and travellers alike; it’s large size. From its discovery to present day it has baffled researchers as to how it has survived and continues to do so. The population of this animal continues to grow exponentially, and has started to intrude on the various Ailor farms that are encroaching on this mouse’s habitat. Attempts to rid this animal from its habitat around Ailor settlements have been unsuccessful and continue to be even to this day.

House Mouse	The most common mouse in Aloria is the House Mouse. It inhabits the cities and houses in nearly every single continent in Aloria. There is no known origin for these versatile creatures but their ability to adapt to the environment and reproduce in the scarcest of conditions has caused them to be the subject of much fascination in the scientific community. The effects of diseases and medicines has often been tested on these animals before being used on Ailor. It is for this fact that this animal has not been outright eradicated by the various sentient species that it lives beside.

Desert Mouse	There is a saying Farah’deen, “It is not the things you see that will kill you.” This saying comes from the desert mouse, which may be one of the deadliest creatures in the desert, despite not being venomous nor aggressive. It is synonymous with the sands of Farah’deen, a bane to nomads and city-dwellers alike, preying on any food source it can come across. It lives within the various cities that sprawl across Farah’deen as well as the vast deserts that stretch over the continent. Many nomads fear this rodent, as it will eat through their supplies like little else, causing them to die within the unforgiving wastes. Its infamy comes from an incident that is often spoken in many taverns across Farah’deen, in which a colony of these mice overtook over the food stores of an entire town, and pushed them into starvation.

Longtail Mouse	In the wilds of Aloria resides the Longtail Mouse, seldom seen by anyone. The mouse’s breeding habits have caused its population to slowly thin out and its rarity has only increased since its discovery. The Longtail Mouse was discovered on accident and has remained well hidden from the outside world. This animal has a unique set of defense mechanisms that have baffled researchers that have tried to study them. From its venomous, snake-like bite, to its long tail that acts like a whip, these fist-sized creatures pack a bigger punch than most animals double their size. Recent attempts to tame these animals have fallen short but their venom’s price on the black market has soared due to its usefulness and rarity.

Candle Mouse	A Candle Mouse is an odd little rodent with a fiery tail, found throughout Aloria in the wilds and as an endearing little pet in many households. Candle Mice are very good pets to have, as they provide heat and light for the home, and are easy to take care of.

Anglian Beaver	The Anglian Beaver is an ancient creature to the Anglian people of the Regalian Archipelago. A familiar sight along the shores of their land’s many rivers, hunters often make a point of tracking down these creatures due to this plentiful nature. They are highly developed divers, able to submerge for over ten minutes when their adults and are distinct from other forms of beaver by possessing a vertically flat tail which they use as their primary propulsion underwater. They are likely to remain an everyday part of Anglian river life for the far foreseeable future.

Norlda	Norldas are dangerous tunneling mammals similar to moles with a notably high intelligence. Mutated during the Fifth Void Invasion, they are now one of the many deadly creatures hunted by the Drowdar in their fight against the Void on Drowda. Highly resistant to toxins yet poor at digesting, Norldas act as pests for the Drowdar while their body parts are eagerly sought after by alchemists.

Canines

Includes domestic dogs, wolves, foxes, jackals, dingoes.

Canines

Northern Wolf	The Northern Wolf is a staple animal in the iconography of Velheim culture and the entire Ailor-occupied North of Aloria. They have existed for centuries alongside northern settlements, preying on the weak and covered in a black fur coat. They are also monogamous creatures and are known to be made subservient to Dire Wolves. Due to their wide dispersal, it is unlikely that the canine will suffer any population decreases for a long time, not unless a more concentrated effort is paid to hunting them.

Dire Wolf	Direwolves are among the largest animals in the Northern regions, standing proud and hungry at the top of numerous food-chains. Aggressive and clever, these solitary hunters are nearly apex predators. If not for said solitary nature, they would likely overrun larger settlements and cities given their indomitable size and ferocity. Few first hand encounters are survived, leaving many to speculate about what exactly these massive wolves are truly capable of.

Drowdan Dire Wolf	The Drowdan Dire Wolf has become the subject of many Drowdar bogeyman-like tales, using the wolf’s fierceness to quell young children's curiosity of venturing outside their citadels. Vicious and hyper-aggressive, this beast is a constant threat to the dark-skinned elves that patrol their Void-infested lands and a prime example of how planar essence can change apex predators into something even worse. The beast was an unwanted discovery, found by an elf who’d only just escaped its clutches. These wolves are known for their fierce bite and their infamous overcoats that act almost like a natural armor. To this day, the Drowdar still hunt these creature in an everlasting struggle against the mutant canine ferocity, though more often than not, the Drowdan Dire Wolf is actually hunting them.

Ceardian Silver Wolf	Terror of many, symbol of some, the Ceardian Silver Wolf is a group predator, originating in Old Ceardia and has since then migrated to the harsher regions of the Regalian Archipelago and Essalonia. The Silver Wolf has been incorporated in much imagery and folklore as a symbol of fear and strength for the Old Ceardian people, as well as serving as a raging example of the saying “strength in numbers”. While a wolf on its own is not a particularly fierce creature, it's organized pack mentality and hunting strategies is what makes it a terrifying sight to behold, and if a pack of Silver Wolves descend on your sheep herds, you can do naught but watch.

Rust Fang Wolf	The Rust Fang Wolf is the cousin of the Common Silverback Wolf, though has notable differences. The smaller, and far less spotted cousin of the Silverback is exclusive to the Regalian Archipelago and continues to become rare as its habitat is taken over by human activity. The Rust Fang Wolf formerly was a commonly hunted animal, much like its cousin, but was hunted so much that it was nearly run extinct. Now, the Red Fang Wolf is slowly recovering from its over-hunting and predating on the smaller creatures of the Archipelago.

Common Silverback Wolf	Perhaps one of the most intelligent non-domesticated canines in Aloria, the Common Silverback Wolf has been a nuisance to livestock herders and farmers of all races. Being one of the most elite hunters in its categories, it is nearly uncontested in its dominance on the food chain, only being threatened by the sentient races. Without any natural predation, the Common Silverback Wolf population has spread across Aloria, being found on every single continent, but remaining especially common in areas with woodlands and mountains, which is the native habitat of this species. Recently, the value of their pelt has increased and the hunting of these animals has exploded from only farmers hunting them to hunters going out of their way to kill them and take their pelts.

Beedr Desert Wolf	Renowned for hunting in large packs, Beedr Desert Wolves are incredibly deadly once they’ve outnumbered their prey. Congregating in groups of ten or twelve, these beasts are almost impossible to spot due to their sandy fur and skinny bodies. They’ve been known to harass anything that dares travel the barren wastelands of Farah’deen, leaving few survivors to tell the tale of these conniving scavengers that plague the land. The wolves will eat almost anything, seeing as roaming the endless sands would be extremely draining. The presence of the Beedr Desert Wolves and the packs they gather in only adds to the danger of traversing the dried wilderness.

Red Fur Fox	The Red Fur Fox of Dragenthal is a common sight for anyone on the western side of the Regalian Archipelago, including Anglia and Vixhall. A long loved sigil of the Dragenthaler people, the red fox has and will continue to be a symbol that represents the Heartland. As a savvy and beloved animal, it continues to thrive in captivity as it has been recently domesticated and is now a frequently hunted animal in Dragenthal Due to their rather recent integration into Ailor societies, only the wealthy or extremely patient are able to truly domesticate a fox into forming a bond. Many foxes either outright reject the owner’s attempts to bond with it, or despise them so much that they attack them. The reason for their investigative domestication is due to this trait, where they almost exhibit some form of judgement or sentient thought, though no progress has been made nor are there any set guidelines for what a Red Fur Fox prefers.

Gold Fur Fenneque	The Golden Fur Fenneque is a truly unique fox whose fur has a chameleon ability that assumes the color of the surrounding environment. When it is killed, this pelt turns Gold-like and reflective. The animal was once viewed as sacred when the Oldt Fayth reigned in Aloria but when Unionism arrived in the region the Fenneque is native to, the Forriesta Natal of the Regalian Archipelago, its population plummeted to near endangerment. While local laws and customs help the species survive, it will continue to be threatened as the civilized population of Aloria grows, and the hidden, dark and unexplored places of the world like the deep forest of the Natal are revealed.

White Calemberger Fox	The White Calemberger Fox is seen by many as the defining image of the Calemberg region of the Regalian Archipelago. The canine has roamed the snowy terrain for nearly four hundred years, and has been noted by the local Ailor for its unique ability to disguise its fur color by rolling in the earth and snow. The animal has the patronage and protection of the ruling family in Calemberg, who are one of the largest suppliers of the fox’s soft white fur to the wealthy and affluent across Aloria.

Snowpaw Felicis	The Snowpaw Felicis is a canine creature that originates from the snowy plains of Ithania. It bears a close resemblance to the many wolves of Aloria, though it is drastically different in its behavioural patterns. The Felicis plays a part in the Ithanian way of life and culture, especially through interaction with the highborns of the realm who prize the creature for various reasons; not limited to merely its fur, but also for its loyal behaviour and mating patterns. Richer families also have been known to involve the Felicis heavily with any hunting sport they may partake in, although the animal is less than ideal for this. The canine is especially close to the Valeur population of the Ithanian culture, and it is hardly uncommon to see an Ithanian family crest decorated with the animal.

Ceardian Bloodhound	Among the breeds of dogs in Aloria, none is as iconic to war as the Ceardian Bloodhound. It’s mysterious origins are often forgotten as it has become a staple of protection and war all throughout Regalia. It’s loyalty and intelligence has caused it to become one of the most sought after dogs in Aloria. The large dog is the size of a bear cub and just as powerful as one, striking fear into the hearts of all that face it. Despite it’s apparent ferocity it is also a sociable animal, making it popular among noble families and warriors alike.

Calemberger Beagle	The Calemberger Beagle is a relatively small hounddog, made notorious across Aloria for its proficiency in detecting and killing simple game in large amounts. They were bred initially as companion pets, but over time, as the best hunting hounds reproduced more, they developed an outstanding sense of smell. Often raised and released by owners in packs, they will sniff out: hares, squirrels, and on occasion, foxes, and then proceed to take the animal down, bringing the carcass back in one piece for their master. Since being specifically reared to hunt since their initial discovery, they have even been used for entertainment by the rich who have competitions on whose group acquires the most prey.

Calemberger Dachsl	Throughout the vast amounts of canines that find their ways in Aloria, the Calemberger Dachsl is a rather unique one, for its small size, though this never discourages it from being a famous enemy of small prey. Despite its humble size, the Dachsl holds a rather brave and feisty temperament, rarely being frightened away by bigger beasts. The Dachsl is around the size of an average Ailor infant, and weighs only a little more. The Calemberger Dachsl is a famous hunting dog, used mostly for rabbit hole hunting and it can be proudly said that the canine excels in this skill.

Anglian Shepherd	The Anglian Shepard is an animal that holds a rare mark of note in the annals of Alorian history. Along with the Common Farm Chicken and a handful of other animals, it is said to be one of the first animals the Ailor themselves tamed. It is notable for its loyalty and intellect, serving both public and agricultural interests well over the years as an attack hound and herd dog. Today, the dog is mostly kept as a pet within the cities while rural Anglian farmers still put the animal to use as they have for the past 300 years and more.

Anglian Laster	The Anglian Laster is one of the several sheepdogs bred by the Anglian people of the Regalian Archipelago. This animal has a long history, being one of the last species of wild dog the Anglians domesticated. The Anglian Laster is highly protective, as only after all the sheep and other animals have been securely locked up will this dog settle down. The Laster is popular among homes across Dorinn and Anglia, with a few reaching the urban centers of other areas.

Anglian Caelorulv	The Anglian Caelorulv is an old breed that has both high prestige and a long history of being a common pet among the nobility and shepherds of the Anglian plains. The Caelorulv was originally one of the many shepherd breeds at the start of the Regalian Empire, though quickly gained popularity as the Western Plains became inhabited by the Anglian people. Interbreeding with other species eventually split the domesticated dog breed into the “Royal” and “Common” Caelorulv, each having their own unique characteristics and popularities.

Ithanian Sucre Cien	The Ithanian Sucre Cien is an Ithanian breed of dog, produced by selective breeding and auctioned off around urbanized areas. Its rapid growth in numbers and unique appearance has earned the dog the name “Sucre Cien”, which directly translates to “Sugar Dog” in common. This is accounted for the fact that a laying Sucre Cien resembles a pile of sugar, due to their flourishing, long, snow-white hair and small figure. The dogs are most commonly carried, as when they walk their hair picks up dirt and other things that require it to be cleaned out. With love and compassion, this dog is a mixed bag; loyal to its owner, but needy. It is antisocial to others when not properly introduced to the world. This, and its ear-piercingly renowned high-pitched bark that classifies as more of a ‘yapping,’ earns the Ithanian Sucre Cien more than its fair share of infamy. Even then, any of high wealth or prestige seeking to pamper a loving and fluffy, tiny companion, often get directed to this breed, and end up happy with it.

Felines

Includes domestic cats, tigers, lions, jaguars, and leopards.

Felines

Tsarr Cat	The Tsarr Cat is a rare species of feline found only on Etosil, and specifically most often in the homes of Vladno citizens. Formerly existing as a naturally occurring feline on Etosil, rigorous domestication and breeding led to them becoming a close reflection of the Vladno culture. The Tsarr Cat is one of the largest domesticated cats in Aloria, and retains many of the traits of its wild ancestor. Today, the Tsarr Cat is a trademark to the home of every Vladno family and serves them loyally as a living cultural reminder.

Daendroque Jungle Cat	These large prowling cats—native only to the Jungles of Daendroc—are responsible for a large number of deaths of Altalar and Daendroc wildlife. They are the bane of travelers, as their immense size and climbing prowess makes them a hazard to even the most wary of Altalar. A nuisance to the Nelfin, the Great Jungle Cat has been known to fearlessly bound into Elven settlements in the dark of the night, looking for whatever food they can find, be it animal or Elf. Many fear or loathe these prowling beasts.

Black Pathor	The Black Panthor is an animal native to Daendroc and it is well known for its cool attitude. It was often confused with the Great Jungle Cat before the rise of the Elven Empire, which saw the feline as the idealized version of a Varran slave: silent, and obedient. Following the Cataclysm, the distinctions between the Black Panthor and its larger cousin were lost for a time, before eventually being distinguished as separate species once more. The two animals share many similar features; however, the Black Panthor lacks the prominent oversized canine teeth that perpetually force open a Great Jungle Cat’s mouth. Today, the animal remains a symbol of the aloof jungle hunter, and is unlikely to once again be confused for its wilder and fiercer relative.

Long Shiveaux	The Long Shiveaux has a long history behind its decades of attempted domestication, resulting now in a medium-sized cat that is often found on the streets of Ithania as a rugged, urban street cat. With the ability to form close bonds with others, its complacent attitude and friendliness makes it a great companion. However, in cities or tight spaces, they progress to a more aggressive and feral state, making them quite a challenge for city-living owners of the Paintbrush Cat. Despite these issues, its long-haired face can win over many hearts, and some even say that by nuzzling against them, the feline can hear the other’s thoughts.

White Sibraxas	The White Sibraxas is one of many hazards in the hostile regions of Ellador and Jorrhildr. It is a nuisance to both travelers brave enough to traverse the snowy landscape, and to those who live there. Originating in Jorrhildr, they later traveled north and adapted to the ever-growing harsh terrain. These large, sabre-toothed felines are said to be descendants of an ancient species that ruled the land before the rise of the Elven Empire. The White Sibraxas are extremely difficult to see due to their clear white coat that allows them blend in with their natural surroundings. Known by their knack for traversing the harsh environment with amazing speed and stealth, this sabre-toothed feline is by far one of the most efficient hunters of the northern land masses.

Ceardian Bobcat	The Ceardian Bobcat is a medium-sized wild cat native to Oldt Era, though the feline has since spread to Essalonia following the Destruction of Old Ceardia. Its name comes from its short tail.The Bobcat dwells in forests, often keeping away from sentient races unless the lure of an unattended Common Farm Chicken or two is too much for a starving individual.

Ithanian Bearded Desert Cat	The Ithanian Bearded Desert Cat is a feline that has weaseled itself into the households of countless Alorians. Its small size, friendly attitude, and distinctive beard-like tuft have earned it a reputation as one of the best pets in the world. Their appeal was quickly exploited upon their first discovery due to its popularity, and the feline remained an animal exclusive to Ithania for only a few months before being shipped overseas. The former hunting instincts of the Bearded Cat have since left them, instead they have been replaced by a disposition to lay about and wait for someone to feed them. With the popularity it holds nowadays, one would be hard-pressed to have not seen at least one of these animals in the any village they come across.

Domestic Tabby	For centuries, cats have been the apex titleholder of domesticated pet animals, flourishing in the Elven Empire as the choice household companion, and subsequently the Regalian Empire. The domesticated Tabby Cat is an affectionate animal, known for its ease of living harmoniously and forming co-dependency wherever they may be found as useful vermin hunters. In modern times, they continue to be doted upon and cherished by many denizens of Aloria.

Long Fluff Ithanian	The Long Fluff Ithanian is a large, long-haired domesticated cat native to Ithania; known and prized for its heavy coat of fur. They are found very commonly in more wealthy homes in Ithania, but have recently begun becoming more commonplace in Regalia, mostly among Ithanian families and those who have travelled to Ithania and purchased a cat as a souvenir of sorts. These cats are quite expensive, require high maintenance, and are hard to find outside of Ithania, meaning they can only be sighted in Regalia in the homes of the wealthy—be it Ithanians or Nobility.

Anglian Missier	The Anglian Missier is truly a sight to behold with eyes more colorful and flamboyant than any other cat that they remind Alorians of the night sky. An animal commonly associated with Anglian culture, this particular feline is a bright-furred cat with eyes that have commonly been described as “out of this world”. Though originally from sparse forests near the Dragoncrown Peaks of Anglia, the Missier has since become entirely extinct in the wild, as it only survives from Anglian domestication and breeding. While It’s never been a plentiful animal, it has always been a well-known one due to its striking appearance. Nowadays, wealthy Anglian farmers and Anglian nobility keep these cats around because of their unique looks and powerful pest-catching capabilities.

Pinnipae

Includes aquatic mammals such as seals, sea Lions, walruses

Pinnipae

Imperial Seal	The Imperial Seal, colloquially known as the Great Seal, is renowned for its immense size and illustrious black coat of fur. It resides in the Drixagh region primarily within and along the body of water directly between the Czabri Bone Shores and the Throatcaps and Walds. There was once a time where this animal was ample in number, yet throughout the years, Kalmarran raiders have taken it upon themselves to hunt the Imperial Seal for its valuable blubber. They do so without regard for overexploitation, which has caused its subsequent near-extinction.

Equids

Includes four-legged animals such as horses, ponies, donkeys, and zebras.

Equids

Elasmo	Elasmo, known as Aloria’s furry, horned horses, exist in various regions of Fendarfelle, Daendroc and New Ceardia. In the wild, these beasts are known for being very territorial, and will violently attack and gore anyone who steps too close to their home. Their large girth and long horns make up for their stubby legs, and they’re coated in a thick layer of cream, white, or black fur. They are certainly not as endearing as they may appear, and should be treated with caution when found in the wilderness.

Whitebred Elladorian	The Whitebred Elladorian is a pure white horse that hails from Ellador and is highly sought out by the wealthier men and women of the Regalian Empire. While there exists several minor theories as to possible other locations of origin, Ellador has remained its origin point in the scholarly community. The animal became well known during the Skagger Wars and remains a symbol of valor and power for the Regalian Empire itself. The horse is noted for its odd hooves and a thick coat of hair, both of which help it survive in the freezing wilderness of its natural home. It also possesses blue eyes like a variety of other Elladorian wildlife. Given recent turbulent events in the North, some fear that the animal will be rendered extinct in reprisal for the Regalian Empire, but their popularity and the sums nobles are willing to pay for them is sure to force many to reconsider their actions before a blow is struck to stain the white coat red.

Pure Black Calemberger	The Pure Black Calemberger is a loyal mount and a symbol of military superiority. This breed of horse is exclusively bred in Calemberg and Hinter Calem, and are highly revered war beasts. Taller than a man when on all fours, and built for power and stamina in the field, these steeds tend to be found in the possession of key military figures or the cavalry of wealthier high nobility across the Regalian Archipelago. They have also been the turning point in many past battles, giving the cavalry a decisive edge with their longevity and speed.

Painted Lancierron	One of the fastest stallions in Ithania, the Painted Lancierron is a horse known for its skinny physique and chestnut brown spotted fur. This stallion has made a great impact to jousting and the world of racing, the skinny horse making up for it’s lack of power with speed. People believe the Lancierron has great importance - mostly because there is currently no other breed of horse that can compete with the steed. In the present day, the Painted Lancierron is being domesticated and has started showing up in a manner of events; some even being chosen as a Viridian Knight’s preferred species of horse.

Bats

Includes bats.

Bats

Drowda Vas Pirion	The Drowda Vas Pirion is an incredibly large and dangerous bat native to Drowda, specifically originating from the region closest to Estel's Grave. They feed off of the blood of their prey, and their appearance will shift based on their primary food source. This bat also carries a highly toxic venom, which is injected through its needle-like teeth. The creature's only apparent weakness is its need to sleep for around six hours a day, as it is very difficult to wake a sleeping Vas Pirion during this sleeping cycle.

Jungle Veneerion	The Jungle Veneerion is a large, herbivorous bat native to the jungles of Daendroc, known for its sharp fangs, thick black fur, and large wings. Its demonic appearance has served as a cause for fear among locals, closely linking it as something of superstition. In reality, the creature’s most menacing features, its fangs, serve to puncture the cacao pods which constitute the majority of its diet. Once commonplace in Daendroc, it has since been killed on sight resulting in a dwindling of its numbers. The Veneerion is rarely seen outside of the jungle, only venturing out to civilized areas when the food supply falls too low in their natural habitat to sustain them.

Elephau

Includes elephants, mammoths and other huge land-based mammals.

Elephau

Three Tusk Tuverophant	The Three Tusk Tuverophant hails from the warmer climates on the border of Sendras. Covered in a shaggy coat of reddish-brown hair that hides their thick skin, these mammals boast an impressive stature. They were once a labor animal for the Allar, but the Sendrassian Civil War saw to the decline of their use. Now, many thousands live free in the jungles while some others are domesticated, and a few rare specimen exist in the odd corners of Aloria with other exotic beasts.

Gargantuan Stoneback Phant	Having been named for their immense size and partial rocky coating, the Gargantuan Stoneback Phant is both a remarkable and feared titan of a creature from the deserts of Farah'deen. It is common for Stonebacks to be mistaken for dunes or rocky hills while resting. When mobile, however, their thundering footsteps and immense size make them stand out like a sore thumb among the landscape. Stonebacks have had minimal impact on the world, other than having been a thorn in the sides of Qadir and Songaskia settlements for as long as the dragons that once soared the skies were. However, in stark contrast to the dragons, the Stoneback Phant remains a menace to this day, and is responsible for the demolition of cities and more lives than one can count.

Pygmee Trunk Truuker	Description Pending...

Wódbehaeri	An essential, though terrifying, piece of Wolathar culture, the Wódbehaeri are a species of hornless Elephau. Their impressive size and strength make them fantastic hosts for the homes of the Wolathar. Mostly docile creatures that are only prompted to action by those reliant on their size, the Wódbehaeri are generally left alone by other sentient races, and even some predators that could match their size. They are common in the dense jungles between Hyarroc and Daendroc, and spend most of their days eating and resting.

Marsupials

Includes kangaroos, wallabies, koalas, possums, opossums, wombats, Tasmanian devils, and the recently extinct thylacines

Marsupials

Jaded Pintry Roo	Description Pending...

Daendroque Possum	Description Pending...

Thylan	Similar to the Ogres of Ellador in that they are a near-sentient mammalian species the Thylan have been a non-dominating feature of Jorrhildr since pre-Cataclysm times. As tall as a Dwarf and easily outnumbering the Url and Velheim Ailor that live alongside them, Thylan are nevertheless badly adapted for the various demanding climates of Jorrhildr. Due to their failure to adapt properly, the Thylan are currently considered a common, though manageable threat or, in some particularly well-fortified areas, a pest. In recent years, however, Jorrhildr’s numerous Seraph ruins have garnered ever more scrutiny from the outside world, though reaching them requires a long and dangerous trek through Thylan-infested lands.

Bovids

Includes bison, African buffalo, water buffalo, antelopes, gazelles, sheep, goats, muskoxen, and domestic cattle

Bovids

Anglian Spotted Cow	Description Pending...

Anglian Black Cow	Hoofed and ready to trample, the Anglian Black Cow is a species so infamous for its nasty attitude, that many argue it shouldn’t have beent brought back from the verge of extinction. The Anglian Black Cow is a creature indigenous to the Regalian Archipelago, and has been used as a supply track of dairy products for generations. These beasts were considered to be meagre, pointless grazing animals until a farmer discovered that their females produced a syrupy milk unlike any other, bringing the species to be domesticated as cattle. Many found the male offspring of the Anglian Black Cow to be too menacing and imposing, and were often neglected by farmers or released into the wild to start grazing packs of their own. To this day, the main use of the Anglian Black Cow has shifted from the mass production of its milk to the entertainment value offered in rodeos, stemming from their ferocious behavior.

Anglian Brown Bovice	Description Pending...

Ithanian Lait-Blanc	Description Pending...

Lesser Wooly Narggoth	Shuffling through the dense forests that line the western coast of Daendroc, the Lesser Wooly Narggoth lives among the undergrowth of the towering jungle. Having been originally discovered by nelfin hunters from the Early Elven Empire, the Lesser Wooly Narggoth is a smaller subspecies of Narggoth that survives off eating the roots of various jungle plants. Kept by some Orcs as guard pets, Lesser Wooly Narggoth are an aggressive little ball of fur capable of goring larger opponents with their horns. Today, they are common among both Orcs and Cielothar as a commodity, used both domestically as pets as well as a food source and are often raised by both races to produce milk and other products.

Greater Wooly Narggoth	Shaking the earth with each terrible step, the Greater Wooly Narggoth is the heaviest mammal that roams the fields of Daendroc. Standing at an impressive ten feet tall and weighing more than a metric ton, these beasts of burden are trained by the Orcs of the region to serve both in the various holds of different harrkh and on the battlefield as a terrifying mount. Its appearance is similar to that of a large bison, though with much greater density of muscle mass, three pairs of horns, and a third eye on the top of the head. Records show that the species has lived in the region that now makes up the Orcish homeland for millennia, with scholars and hunters of the Early Elven Empire keeping records of when to avoid the area to prevent being trampled by the beasts during mating season. As the Orcs entered into the region, they found the beasts pleasantly aggressive and began attempting to domesticate them. After a few decades, and several dozen deaths, the beasts were finally tamed. Today, the shaggy bison is a beast of burden for the green skinned Orcs, and can occasionally be seen being ridden into battle by raiding parties.

Gallovian Geep	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.

Shadow Bovine	Description Pending...

Cervids

Includes Deer and Elk

Cervids

Northern Moose	The Northern Moose is a massive mammal that openly roams the landscape of Jorrhildr. Standing taller than the average Ailor, the Northern Moose is truly a majestic sight to behold, given it’s popularity among the locals. Due to the animal’s resistant nature, it has come to be widely accepted as the symbol of Jorrhildr and its denizens, acting as a testament to their much bolstered hardiness.

Imperial Stag Deer	Description Pending...

Antelluion	Elegant, yet somewhat unintelligent, the Antelluion are similar to the common deer in all but a few aspects of their appearance. They are much larger than a typical deer and possess a single curved horn that is frequently prized for its strength and beauty. For years, they have lived in the Archipelago and in the grasslands of Ithania, mainly existing as something pretty for hikers to spot. While they are sometimes hunted for their horns and kept as menagerie creatures, there are not many other uses for the animal besides aesthetics. Today, Antelluion thrive as simple beasts, roaming and surviving as they have throughout generations.

Stand Antler	Description Pending...

Qilin	While it is not completely unheard of to stumble across a Qilin in the wilds of the Yang Tzu, it is always a stunning sight. Lithe in their build and seemingly otherworldly thanks to their shimmering fur, these animals are hailed as some of the most beautiful in all of Aloria for good reason. These skittish deer are a rare find, but their pelts and horns make them a value to both the Island's inhabitants, and hunters from abroad.

Ch’ello Deer	Description Pending...

Mustelids

Includes weasel, badger, otter, marten, ferret, mink, stoat, and wolverine

Mustelids

Anglian Weasel	The Anglian Weasel is a small mammal native to Anglia and Dorinn in the Regalian Archipelago. An animal known to have lived in the Archipelago for some time, it has thrived in the plains of Anglia since the Ailor first arrived and has been a pest to farmers for years. A predatory animal, the Weasel commonly hunts mice and small birds, but the reason they are annoying to farmers is their other hunting target, the Common Farm Chicken. They are most noted for their seasonal changes in fur color which some say vary the most of any animal. This changing coat color, in turn, has also resulted in shady business practices where some buy furs supposedly of the highest quality only to have them be that of the Anglian Weasel, a common animal. Despite the fur industry in Anglia and Dorinn, as well as angry farmers, none have been able to halt the large population of this mustelid.

Calemberger White Ferret	While the Calemberger White Ferret’s pelt is well known by the many denizens of the lordship, not many know of their origins. Despite the native region being known for its furs and rustic clothing style, the Calemberger White Ferret isn’t an animal the regular citizen is likely to see on the isle. In reality, the ferret is kept in captivity and harvested for its furs; leaving it unable to roam the wilds properly with a population of next to zero outside of captivity, save for small pockets that escape to the wild accidentally. Calemberger White Ferrets are specially bred for their pure and much sought after white fur, and any ferret exhibiting a dull grey or any other colour fur are either slaughtered without a chance to affect the precious breeding genepool. Despite being kept in captivity, the ferrets are nowhere close to domesticated, and aren’t suitable for a home setting. Since their captivity, the animals have become increasingly feisty, resulting in the reputation of being infamously hard to breed.

Ithanian Minque	The Ithanian Minque is a common mustelid sharing resemblance to a ferret that can often be found rushing about the waterways and riversides of Ithania. As the ever elusive and pursued furred devil of the fresh riverbanks, Minques are held in fond memory by most who share their continent. A very common sight by lakesides, a dear friend to some and good money waiting to be made to others, the Ithanian Minque is well-known on its home continent, and for good reason.

Elladorian Badger	The Elladorian Badger is an animal known for close-knit familial bond as well as their underground burrows known as setts. They are an ancient creature, with ties to half a dozen different peoples through the centuries, from recorded sightings by the Elven Empire to a degree of importance from the Velheim Ailor. They possess a black and white coat, and hibernate throughout the long Ellador winters. The Isldar invasion of Velheim settlements possibly threatens their population, but as of yet, no reports of frozen furry animals have been reported.

Daendroc Weasel	The Daendroc Weasel is a pesky rodent which infamously dwells in the harbors of Daendroc. The weasel is often seen on most seafaring vessels, being loved by the sailors. It is hated as much as it is loved, however, largely due to their frequent theft of food. This weasel is often at odds with the Ghor Ka Bloodscale; when these two creatures meet, it more often than not leads to a violent fight to the death. Daendroc Weasels today are seen in almost any harbor, always near their owner.

Ursas

Includes bears

Ursas

Northern Brown Bear	The Northern Brown Bear is a large mammal that inhabits the entire northern region of the Regalian Archipelago. These bears are highly respected by the members of the School of Skagger, as well as the Velheim tribes as a whole. Much of Velheim culture is derived because of their proximity and respect for the Northern Brown Bear, which is considered one of the mightiest animals in the northern wilderness. It features a wide range of pelt colors and so the Northern Brown Bear is sometimes referred to as the Grizzled Bear for these unique fur patterns, however as the name dictates, these patterns and colors always keep a brownish tint to them. The Northern Brown bear was originally thought to be a wide variety of species but was eventually reclassified into the single species that exists today. While bears have a popular spot in folklore as a whole, no other bear is as represented as the Northern Brown Bear.

Grey Bear	The Grey Bear is one of the more common bears in Aloria, inhabiting the southern regions of the Regalian Archipelago. Known for centuries by the locals, they once ranged as far as Calemberg but hunting has reduced them to now only live in and around their homeland. Grey bears are notable for their grey fur, and they teach their cubs the ways of the world while carrying them around on their backs.

Gallovian Black Mountain Bear	Description Pending

Susids

Includes pigs and boars

Susids

Ridgeback Boar	The Ridgeback Boar is a complex creature, existing as a form of wildlife across the entire stretch of the Regalian Archipelago since before the Cataclysm. As a result of this event and the rise of the Regalian Empire, the animal receded into the many thick forests of the island group. They are most noted for their prominent mohawk of hair, running from their head down their back which gives them their name. Some even feel the Ridgeback Boar is the creature that inspired the fashion of shaving the sides of one's head topped by an uncut mohawk. Many simply know the animal as a proud creature of the hunt and a challenge to any competent huntsman looking for a good story to tell.

Bathogg	Bathoggs are commonly known for their uncanny resemblance to their close relatives: pigs. However, they tower over their pink-skinned brothers. These creatures are great in size, hitting four feet in height, several feet thick, and a staggering five hundred pounds when they reach their adult age. The Bathoggs have powerful tusks with a cone-like shape, used in fights and during the mating process. While these creatures surely are a sight to behold, they’re docile creatures, occasionally kept in captivity and bred by farmers.

Pygmee Arloran Pig	The Pygmee Arloran Pig is a diminutive swine once bred exclusively in the Kingdom of Arlora. No one is quite sure how the animal came to live in the region, but in recent years it has been undergoing extensive studies by biologists attempting to determine why this species of swine was so much smaller than other pigs. The pig's other notable trait, aside from its diminutive size, is a set of fleshy wattles on the side and underside of their neck. Due to the recent Bone Horror Crisis, the animal's population has continued to drop, and it may go extinct someday soon if the Bone Horrors have their way.

Leporid

Includes Rabbits and Hares

Leporid

Antelabbit	The bizarre cousin of the rabbit, the Antelabbit is a carnivorous and terrifying creature that eats the living. Known for swarming in the spring, they will sometimes turn on each other if there is not enough food. This decimation of their own populace has made them a rare and terrifying sight to behold.

Cetacean

Gat Bulb Back	Description Pending...

Air Pocket Whale	Bursting from the long, slow waves of the Western Calms is the Air Pocket Whale, a playful, aquatic mammal that calls the warmer waters around Ithania home. The species’ peculiar name comes from the unique characteristic of the animal, which are two large air sacs that dominate the back of the creature. These air sacs act as special ballasts, granting them superior control of the animal’s depth in the water. Original citings of the Air Pocket Whale come from the early years after the Cataclysm, roughly 40 AC. Early records demonstrate the incredibly friendly nature of the species, which often jump and play along with boats that sail in the region. To this day, tourists who travel to the Western Calms often take special day trips out to popular gathering places for Air Pocket Whales, so that they may witness the spectacle of the graceful creatures as they bob and dive among the surf. There are several small coastal towns in Ithania that survive solely off of such tours, as well as selling the surprisingly delicious flesh of the animals.

White Fair Fin	Description Pending...

Rockback Whale	The Rockback Whale is a unique species of whale endemic to the coasts of Sendrass and the eastern coast of Farah’deen. The creature was only known in Elven myths, as tales told of islands growing on the back of huge fish before they vanished into the waves once more. It was only after the Cataclysm that these myths were proven right, if not somewhat exaggerated, when Allar vessels first ventured out beyond their shores to seek a refuge from the Mu-Allar. Known to the wider world ever since, these creatures have inspired beauty and mystery as they possess a unique skin on their backs that help clams, barnacles and sea moss to grow. With the Bone Horror Crisis unleashing a horde of undead bone sea monsters out from Hadaria into southern waters, the Rockback Whale’s future is uncertain.

Salt Sea Spinphin	Description Pending...

Aetherwhale	In an age long past, amongst the lofty heights of Ellador, the majestic Aetherwhales once played. Beasts of incredible size that drifted on the breeze as if they were as light as a feather, the Aetherwhales were a rare sight among the clouds, drifting in and out of cloud banks as they ate entire clouds of birds at a time. The Aetherwhale is a gargantuan mammal the size of an inn that resembles a fish, with three pairs of fins along their stomach that they use to navigate the sky and a great tailfin to propel them forward. Aetherwhales also are known for their sad ‘whale song’, a melancholic tune that they use to communicate that once was heard echoing from the lofty heights they built their pods around. Their most remarkable characteristic, however, is their ability to float, which comes from unique organs inside the Aetherwhale which house thousands upon thousands of microscopic bacteria that convert normal air into special lighter-than-air gases. These organs are able to be vented through the skin of the Aetherwhale, granting it the ability to rise and descend through the air with moderate ease. Once a common sight over the mountains of Ellador, the Aetherwhales have become increasingly more rare to stumble upon in the past century. This has baffled ecologists who have found no reason for the sudden disappearance; with the only real theories involve a dwindling food supply and migration to other places beyond the sea. Despite this, the floating creatures have certainly left their mark on the world, as the early designs for airships were said to be inspired by seeing Aetherwhales lofting among the frosty peaks of their home.

Birds

Song Birds

Includes Innocent birds that like to sing.

Song Birds

Regalian Spriggan	Regalian Spriggans are a herbivorous bird native to the Crown Isle of Regalia. At first glance they can be described as almost fairy-like due to their incessant need to coat their bodies in moss, foliage, and green matter, using a barbed beak to assist with this. They are a common bird in Regalia, but also very difficult to spot due to their camouflaging habits.

Jong-li Nightingale	Description Pending...

Common Imperial Pidgeon	Description Pending...

Dragged Crow	The Dragged Crow is an easily distinguished bird despite its similarities to the common crow. Larger and more formidable than its cousin, these creatures are capable of forming hostile murders in the wild, they are known for their shrill shrieking cry. Making for excellent messengers in captivity, they currently serve as a valuable means of communication across the Ithanian Sovereignty and the Regalian Empire at large.

Black Feather	The Black Feather is an undersized songbird that originates from the Regalian Archipelago, and can now be found throughout Corontium. Known for their unique ability to replicate speech, these birds are difficult to spot but are easily heard throughout Regalia. In recent years, they’ve been domesticated and kept as household pets by Ailor children.

Red Breaster	The Red Breaster is known across the farming world for many things. Its greatest claim to fame is its close relation to the now extinct junglefowl that helped create it and its close cousin, the Common Farm Chicken. It is also noted for its shrill, powerful cry that marks the rising of the sun each day, said to be the most powerful of any bird. They are also known for their fiery-colored plumage, the Red Breaster is a staple of many farms in Anglia and beyond.

Beyljon Duck	The Beyljon duck is a creature that can only loosely be described as a songbird, A staple in the Yang-tzu Isles. The Beyljon Duck is an elegant and plump creature that walks with pride and is widely appreciated by the Ch’ien-ji people. Considered the Dwarf of the waterfowl, the Beyljon duck is a friendly animal who is glad to live among the Chi people who keep them from more violent predators. Unsurprisingly due to their naturally plump nature they are also considered a delicacy, and if smoked properly their meat is pleasantly sweet.

Hinterlandic Raven	The Hinterlandic Raven is a very peculiar bird that displays extremely odd habits. The raven is generally seen as a very mischievous, intelligent bird, that is acutely aware of its own surroundings and the people that live near its nest. Strangely enough, this bird is also poetically suicidal and even downright self destructive, for reasons unknown as of yet. This bird has become a reviewed curiosity for animal scholars, using it as a hallmark example of trying to understand illogical animal behavior.

Predatory Birds

Includes birds that hunt other fauna.

Predatory Birds

Nimbinoldor	A widely known species, the Nimbinoldor is a domesticated bird species. They are often kept for hunting, or simply as social animals. Only having a history spanning about 150 years, many people are still unknowing of the bird. However it is popular among Rangers and some have even been found in Regalia, favored for their friendliness and hunting capability.

Imperial Hawk	The Imperial Hawk is an animal native to the Crown Isle in Regalia and has rarely left its homeland. The animal has always been a part of life in the imperial capital, living there since before the Cataclysm when the city was founded by the Regalian Kingdom. The hawk has colorations similar to that of the Common Imperial Pidgeon, but this is a deception tactic used to put prey at ease before striking. As the capital grows and expands, this bird is likely to be there right alongside it, nesting and gliding across the skies of the City of Light.

Ceardian Long Talon	The Ceardian Long Talon is named somewhat ironically as it does not actually have long talons, but rather long feathers. The bird has followed Ceardians for centuries; first in the period of Ceardian Warlords, then to the Regalian Archipelago as trade ties were established between the two nations, and finally to Essalonia after Ceardia itself fell to Void forces. The Long Talon is now a common breed favored among falconers and is unlikely to dip in population unless the forests it calls home are drastically cut down.

Calemberger Adelaar	The Calemberg Adelaar is one of the animals known to symbolize the aristocracy in Aloria, particularly of the Ailor race. The bird has ties back to the old Wirtemcaller Kingdom and, having survived an attempt by the Skagger Horde to drive them into near extinction, are now recovering in number across the three Calem regions of the Regalian Archipelago; Calemberg, Opper Calem, and Hinter Calem. With its large size, crested head, and an attitude of superiority over other bird species, it serves as the perfect example of the Alt-Regalian culture which formed out of the fallen Wirtemcaller state.

Calemberger Black Hawk	The Calemberger Black Hawks are a carnivorous bird native to Inner CalembergWald, or more commonly known as Calemberg Forest. At first glance they can be described as elongated birds with a shiny black coat of bristle feathers, having a grey angular shaped patch of feathering on their lower panel. They are a common predator in Calemberg forests, being discreet hunters that often hunt during the daylight hours.

Crow Eagle	The Crow Eagle is one of the animals known widely for its symbolic value to the aristocracy in Aloria, particularly the Ailor race. The bird has ties back to the old Wirtemcaller Kingdom and after having survived an attempt by the Skagger Horde to drive them into extinction, are now recovering in number across the three Calem regions of the Regalian Archipelago; Calemberg, Opper Calem, and Hinter Calem. With its large size, crested head, and an attitude of superiority over other avian species, it serves as the perfect figurehead of the Alt-Regalian culture which formed out of the fallen Wirtemcaller state.

Snapjaw Terronvir	Description Pending...

Sea Birds

Includes birds that spend a lot of time in or around the sea.

Sea Birds

Common Gull	The Common Gull is an infamous seabird known as a crying terror of the coasts, though only in the most dumbed-down sense of such terms. While it serves occasional use to sailors and fishermen, these days it is known solely as a nuisance; an overpopulated one, at that. Considered the “rooster” of cities of port, these birds often wake sleeping residents early in the morning, and crowd coasts in high numbers. The overpopulation of this bird is a notable fact, to the point where there have been recent tales told by sailors of flocks thick enough to scatter sunlight and last a full five minutes before passing entirely.

Sea Pidaleer	Description Pending...

High-Altitude Birds

Includes birds that spend long periods of time up high in, close or above the cloud cover.

High-Altitude Birds

Hoton Longfeather	Description Pending...

Givrais Thunder Bird	The Givrais Thunder Bird is a unique animal from northern Farah’deen known for its strange habit of gathering around areas where lighting is about to strike. A long-lasting feature of the region, the birds survived the Great Storm and have also managed to survive the latest bout of warfare in their region. They are still hunted, however, because Ithanians greatly enjoy the myriad of colors their feathers possess. These same feathers make it hard to see them as they fly in the blue sky however they are much more obvious when they nest in the canyons they make their homes in.

Ciel’állíë-tö Crane	Description Pending...

Flightless Birds

Includes penguins, ostriches, chickens, peacocks, and ground owls.

Flightless Birds

Mooan	Mooan are large, wingless birds found roaming the expansive grasslands of Daen. They eat a simple diet of insects and seeds, which is just about as simple as their brain. Known for their distinctive “Mooan” cry that gives them their name and their tactic of falling over as a distraction, the Cielothar have managed to tame a population of the animal in their settlements and overall the Mooan has survived countless harrowing events. It is unlikely that the animal will vanish from the Ularen Wastes that they call home any time soon.

Ollivear	Ollivear resemble large, birdlike Ogres with arms and long feathers. They are hostile and dangerous predators that grow as tall as an Orc in height and far wider in girth. While native to Guldar, they have also made nests in Daendroc due to the Orcs transporting eggs during their great exodus.

Common Farm Chicken	From the lowest beggar to the highest nobleman, most residents of Aloria have laid their eyes on the Common Farm Chicken. One of the most ordinary animals you can find on nearly every continent, they have made their way as livestock on farms the world over. Originally hailing from Daendroc, the enslaved Ailors brought the wild ancestors of today’s chicken with them as they escaped their Elven captors. The Chicken is favored for providing plenty of food for those even with a small amount of coin. Even then, they still have a remarkable effect on different cuisines from all types of cultures.

Gargant Birds

Includes extinct giant/mythical birds.

Gargant Birds

Rokha	The Rokha is a winged titan, stalking the plains of Daendroc below it from the skies with keen vision, and painting the lands red with precise dives and strikes from the deadly claws mounted on its feet. The Rokha has for centuries inspired terror into the hearts of the people who lived near the mountains of Daendroc, inhabiting the northwestern regions of the Zuimobragan Peninsula. These enormous predatory birds have been a plague on the Altalar cities built into the mountainsides for millennia, and the Elves best efforts to eradicate the bird has severely decreased their numbers. To this day, its feathers and claws are prized trinkets among the Elven population, and the Daen humans as well.

Longtail Gryphon	Viewed as a strange beast by both the Varran and the Elven Empire, this native Ithanian species is rarely, if ever, interacted with by any being outside of its own species. Later into the time of the Elven Empire, the beast became symbolic of Ithania itself, subsequently causing their image became a standard architectural feature. In the years since the Cataclysm, the animal has retreated deeper into the Ithanian forests they reside in. The creature’s most notable feature is its inability to fit into neither avian nor mammalian, simply defined as a feline head connected to a bird-like body. Today, they are most commonly seen set in stone as a minor animal in the pantheon of architectural symbolism the highly cultured Ithanians make use of though some Ithanian nobles do seek the challenge of hunting down this beast.

Reptiles

Saurians

Includes dinosaur-esque reptiles.

Saurians

Two-Claw Raptor	An agile nightmare to some, and a loyal companion to others, the Two-Claw Raptors have been used as battle-mounts and hunting dogs for almost as long as the Mu-Allar have existed. It would seem as if the two reptilian hunters share a bond not only through physical appearance, but by their like-mindedness. They live in large packs in the jungles of Sendras, and are prone to conflicts with opposing raptor packs.

Sendrassian Long Maw Saurian	The Sendrassian Long Maw Saurian is a relentless predator, dominating the deeper parts of the continent of Sendras. Infamous for being one of the largest and strongest predators on Aloria, this enormous creature has had fairly great impact on the Mu-Allar culture and lifestyle. A frightening and savage beast, the Sendrassian Long Maw’s presence is largely unknown to most races and the outside world as a whole. In addition its body parts, such as its scales and bones, are highly sought after as alchemical components for the Al-Allar.

Crú’áellë’ciádenӧ	A tenacious body and a vicious bite, the Crú’áellë’ciádenö is a small airborne reptilian from Sendras that was brought to Daen, via the first Elven expeditions to the ancient continent. It is one of the few reptiles capable of flight, by use of its extended arms with a sail of muscle membranes attached to it. It has caused many Elven and Allar biologist to bicker over the name, since the most widely known name for the species was made by the Elves, however the Allar claim to have named it first.

Crocodiles

Includes freshwater tropical or saltwater reptiles.

Crocodiles

Saltwater Snapper	Description Pending...

Sweet Water Snapper	Description Pending...

Longtail Croque	The Longtail Croque is an aquatic reptile indigenous to Ithania. It has been part of that region’s history since the Varran Empire, where it harassed the Varran people and was possibly tied to their ancient religion. With the rise of the Elves and later Ithanian Ailor, the creature was actively hunted out of the major waterways of the nation to help maintain the peaceful culture Ithanians are known for. The animal is notable for its long tail, its “pack” societies as well as regional colorations and gender populations.

Snakes

Includes all snakes and serpentine creatures.

Snakes

Medskala	Feared as a merciless killer, and told of in the oral tales and stories of Nordskagian people, the Medskala is a slithering predator from the Kingdom of Nordskag. Although similar in more ways than one to their serpentine cousins, these snakes are much bigger, more dangerous, and extremely cunning. The Medskala is reputed throughout Nordskag and generally given a wide berth by Nordskagians out of fear of being consumed.

Common Grass Snake	The Grass Snake, as implied in the name, is a hilariously common and widespread animal. The combination of its near refusal to die, as well as the heavy emphasis its body has on reproduction, has made the animal something of a marvel. Known for its annoying habit of nesting in gardens and bushels, the Grass Snake has a reputation for scaring adults and children alike due to its unsuspecting nature. The population of the Common Grass Snake has no rate of declining; in fact, biological experts state the opposite, that the population is increasing at an alarming rate.

Cobravv	The Cobravv is one of the more iconic animals of the Farah’deen deserts. Tales warn of these venomous snakes all throughout the folklore of the Qadir and Songaskia people alike. This nocturnal animal hunts lizards and other prey at night, but if you step on its burrow you are sure to fall to its deadly bite. Despite their legendary dangerous traits and territorial ways in the wild, the animal has been tamed and used in street performances and can even be domesticated as pets. Those that use this animal in performances call themselves ‘snake-charmers’ and use a flute to command the Cobravv on what to do.

Rainbow Snake	The Rainbow Snake is one of the more curious animals in Aloria, exclusively inhabiting the jungles of Sendras. These oily serpents linger in the jungle floors, tending to hide in the dark, but shine with a multitude of colors when the sun is cast upon them. Even though the Rainbow Snake has few predators, they are still uncommon sight to be seen. Currently, the creature is prey to those with eyes for exotic beasts, poachers seeking rare skins, and craftsmen craving expensive additions for their works.

Stone Forest Snake	Description Pending...

Lizards

Includes iguanas, geckos and multiple varieties of small or medium sized reptilian life.

Lizards

Ghor Ka Bloodscale	In the eyes of many, Ghor Ka Bloodscales are odd creatures. These curious creatures are thought to be the result of several failed Allar experiments that could not be eradicated by the alchemists and scientists who created them. A small reptile with red scales, the Ghor Ka Bloodscale is intelligent enough to converse with other members of their own species, have a primitive form of written communication, and even make crude weaponry. Though they are native to the jungles of Sendras, Hadar, and Teled Methen, Ghor Ka Bloodscales can often be found on pirate and slaver vessels due to their ability to make mutually beneficial pacts with sentient races such as the Allar, Slizzar, Varran, and Altalar.

Green Lizard	The Green Lizard is possibly the most common quadruped animal in Aloria, existing across multiple continents. It is a small green reptile but also known for the streaks of blue and red that mark males and females apart. It is a rare example of a domesticated lizard, kept as pets by some Allar and Ailor. It has been present throughout many world events, yet remains alive and unaffected today.

Ridgeback Stalker	Elusive and ferocious, these camouflaged killers strike their unsuspecting prey from above. Not much is known about these mysterious predators, resulting in their status as the source of many wandering tales and ghost stories. Because of this, these large lizards have gained an infamous reputation, leading to them being hunted over the years. The lizard’s elusive nature and rock-like scales, however, have allowed them to hide away in the rocky cliffs and caverns that defines most of the southern New Ceardian coast line.

Hagaan	All throughout the deserts of Aloria, there are many dangers that worry travelers and merchants alike. Most worry about their camels dehydrating, or lack of food, but little does the common traveler ever think about the animals that lurk in the dark of the desert waiting for a victim. The Hagaan is one of the infamous reptiles to walk the deserts of Aloria, and it is feared by Qadir and Ailor alike for its deadly bite.

Mammal-like Reptiles

Includes reptiles that possess many mammal-like traits.

Mammal-like Reptiles

Kyanprat	The unfortunate souls that stray too close to a swamp's edge often find themselves the meal of a Kyanprat. There are few beings, animal or otherwise, that pose any danger to this horrifying creature. Ranging between sixteen and eighteen feet tall with an odd mixture of reptilian and mammalian features, these swamp-dwelling beasts are a lethal sight to behold.

Furred Ytrevais	Description Pending...

Pastalid	Though its prickly appearance may suggest otherwise, the colorful Pastalid is a popular pet among Aloria’s artists and performers. Despite their unusual and inhospitable habitat, the Pastalid has captured the attention of the Alorian public far from its Ithanian home. With its rainbow-hued, scaled appearance, the Pastalid continues to bedazzled and surprise desert travellers in Ithania while guiding them when needed.

Utravid	Description Pending...

Marine Reptiles

Includes turtles and other reptiles that live in the water.

Marine Reptiles

Mossassarios	The Mossassarios is a primeval terror primarily found beneath the Western Calms, stalking the waters in search of prey. This marine reptile bears some similarity to lizards, with four limbs and a tail. For as anyone can remember, the Mossassarios have been a danger to the ships around the western landmasses since the early Elves and Allar first took to the waters. To hunt such a beast is a dangerous undertaking, but those who manage to bring one down can be greatly rewarded. Mossassarios have not made much of an impact beyond the west, but are a risk any sailors in those waters may face. Currently, they’re most infamous for the sinking of merchant vessels in the area.

Tylossare Snapper	Description Pending...

Great Bog Snapper	The existence of the Great Bog Snapper is unquestionably not a great one, being so lackluster that it spawned the common saying “Only swamp rocks and water today”, which remains to be used to Anglian hunters to describe a lackluster tripBaring a size far more massive in comparison to an everyday snapping turtle, the snappers are exclusive to only the swamps and bogs of Anglia and its surrounding regions. They are relatively easy to find due to their sheer size and lack of migration. Because they are dormant for the majority of the day, and only to snap out at any small prey to come near, it is no wonder these turtles are described as large stones.

Ridgebag Turtle	Description Pending...

Sea Swoof	Swift and majestic, a wild Sea Swoof is truly a sight to behold. A strange mix of a snake and a skate with iguana-like scaly skin, this creature has mystified casual beach-goers and swimmers for generations. Usually found in the oceans of Aloria, this strange-looking aquatic snake has been regarded as bad luck by sailors for as long as they’ve been discovered.

Gargant Hadar Trunkrond	The Gargant Hadar Trunkrond has a well-deserved reputation as the largest turtle in Aloria. Having survived since the rise of the Slizzar and past their fall, the Trunkrond is now rare due to the damage wrought by the Chrysant War. They are now slowly making a return once more as their large size deters people and animals from hunting them. They are also known for returning to certain beaches to lay their eggs, carrying on a legacy somehow known to them despite rarely ever visiting these spots previously. Unless Hadaria suffers another disaster, these giant reptiles will still be around and swimming through the seas for centuries to come.

Kelp	Cunning and deceitful, the Kelp of Aloria were only recently discovered by the colonial regions of the Regalian Empire in Essalonia. Prone to taking on magical guises, they are notorious for luring their victims to secluded places and killing them via drowning. They predominantly dwell in underwater caves, away from the outside world and were once confused for Maiar until this fact was cleared up by the Maiar race itself. Kelp are rare and fascinating, but a person should take the utmost care when in contact with these creatures.

Maerrow	The Maerrow are small, Maiar-like fishpeople that hail from Essalonia. These carnivorous beings are known to steal the bounty of fishermen on the ocean and in rivers for themselves while also hunting down singular or small groups of targets. They are also known for their hideous, tooth filled grins which they maintain throughout their lives. Figures of malice in Colonial culture, it is likely that they will go extinct in the coming years if they maintain their low population density, spread across the waterways of Essalonia.

Gargant Reptiles

Includes large and otherwise mythical reptiles.

Gargant Reptiles

Basilisk	Very few creatures are as vilified and dangerous as the great Basilisk. This colossal serpent, known as the Great King of Snakes, patrols the stone forests of Llíü’raëth searching for rare metals, treasure, or prey to feast upon. Though its origins are unknown, many attribute the Basilisk to be a final descendent of the Green Dragons that occupied Hyarroc thousands of years ago. The Basilisk lives in a massive sinkhole called The Maw, thought to be a burial site of the snake’s ancestors. Today, the ancient serpent wanders the stone forest, exerts control over the Stone Forest Snakes, and is considered to be one of the most deadly monsters in Aloria.

Deep Sea Serpent	The Deep Sea Serpent is one of the largest creatures in all Aloria, certainly in the Alorian Oceans. For centuries they were worshipped as divine beings and living gods by the Slizzar, but their numbers diminished after the Cataclysm. With the fall of the Essa Empire, Deep Sea Serpents were declared extinct after the Regalian military’s victory at Fesso Hualla. Unknown to many, the Deep Sea Serpent still lives on in the depths of the ocean, but they have become very scarce following the Bone Horror Crisis that filled their waters with undead monstrosities.

Amphibians

Anura

Includes all frogs and toads.

Anura

Silver Poison Toad	Gazing into the jungles of Fendarfelle, one can easily sense glistening metal far in the swamps. Most travellers know better than to investigate, for those gleaming pieces of silver are likely to be Silver Poison Toads, sitting in their marshes, unafraid of anything that might hunt them, for they will enact their bowel-ripping vengeance from beyond death. From the time the explorers of Fendarfelle first set foot on the continent, this seemingly harmless creature has always been a mystery. Even today, the toads fill the swamps and wetlands of Fendarfelle by the dozen, colorful, but unthreatened due to their toxic nature.

Highland Creaker	Most commonly known for startling hunters during the beginning of spring, the Highland Creaker is a common frog that is infamous for its unique mating call. The particularly lumpy creature is large compared to many of its relatives, measuring at roughly 12 inches in length on average. However, even it’s size does not give it away while it hibernates under the snow, having been discovered only by a chance encounter when one frog was unfortunately stepped on. To this day, it remains infamous among Gallovians and has been used as a cautionary tale to always watch one’s feet.

Salamanders

Includes salamanders, newts, and other lizard-like amphibians.

Salamanders

Salas’maïdar	The Salas’maïdar is by far one of the most common creatures known in Aloria. It’s unique life cycle and long lifespan have caused it to be the subject of research and curiosity since it was discovered. This species has remained hidden from the gaze of biologists for some time despite its large size due to its coloration, and unique burrowing habits. Its life cycle is nearly constantly researched by young, aspiring biologists.

Effhlekh Salamander	The Effhlekh Salamander is a mysterious jewel of Farah’deen, an amphibian that makes it’s home in desert-covered lands with little water, and an animal that is of particular fascination to Qadir-Almae engineers. This salamander makes its home in the oases and on the coasts of Farah’deen, though the scarcity of water and its inhospitable habitat have begun to wear down its population. Documented even before the Great Storm, this amphibian has been a part of Farah’deen’s history for centuries. One of the most interesting parts about this salamander is it’s color-shifting skin in the presence of high concentrations of Binral Essence, a trait that has surrounded species in superstition. Despite the population decline in the wild, the Effhlekh Salamander remains a mysterious link to the past and is often now found in captivity as an exotic pet.

Phlarkie	While the cities of Etosil often come alive at night with the flickering of hundreds of candles, the hills and pastures of the countryside are often speckled with the glowing embers of the Phlarkie. A small amphibian with a natural affinity for fire, Phlarkies have a natural combustible compound that is created in a special organ located in their back. They were originally discovered when the first settlers arrived in Etosil, who were drawn to the mysterious lights that dotted the rocky terrain, only to find a bizarre six legged creature that was warm to the touch. Phlarkies are found across Etosil, found even in farmer’s homes as they lie among the embers of the hearth. They do not bother local citizens much more than simply being in the way and they do a wonderful job keeping the bugs away. Etosians have come to appreciate their little companions, and because of that, the Phlarkie is often considered one of the symbols of Etosil.

Fish

Freshwater Fish

Includes all fish who primarily live in freshwater such as ponds, freshwater lakes, rivers and swamps.

Freshwater Fish

Flats Glider	Large, swift and cunning, the Flats Glider is both a prized and dreaded catch for any fisherman. Often found in freshwater rivers in New Ceardia, the Flats Glider is a large freshwater stingray, notorious for its difficulty to catch. It is named for its ability to glide through the water. These large, typically docile beasts are prized for the unique flavor of their meat, and the amount of said meat on them makes them all the more valuable of a catch. Nowadays, their numbers dwindle, but they breed rapidly enough to endure the constant fight to get them out of the water and onto a plate.

Red Fairfin Fish	The Red Fairfin is an iconic fish commonly found in meals from the cities across Daen. The Elven Empire once served the fish to its leaders, but now it is commonly found throughout the towns that dot the continent. The Fairfin’s flashy fins and obvious brood give it no chance to stand against its Ailor hunters. Its large numbers and steady population have caused it to surge in popularity, and nobles want it as a live pet but have failed to domesticate it as the animal requires moving water to live. Predators on its native continent often feast on it due to the fish not having any defense mechanisms, save for remaining in large groups at all times.

Meetok Fish	The Meetok Fish is a swamp-dwelling fish from Serass, and is one of the most populous animals on the jungled landmasses. With origins dating back centuries, the animal has remained unchanged over the years, as it has near-perfectly adapted to the swamps and vegetation-filled rivers of the landmass. It is most known for its brilliant emerald, ruby and sapphire colorations as well as having an incredibly brief life cycle. Today, people and animals across the world enjoy this fish as a food source, greatly enjoying the simple but tasty creature.

Yǒudú Jīnyú	The Poison Koi, specifically known as “Yǒudú Jīnyú”—which roughly translates into “poisonous goldish” in Common—among the inhabitants of the Yang-Tzu Islands, is a treacherous, seemingly harmless fish that lives in familial schools, and are often kept in special types of ponds. This type of fish is unfortunately one of the most deadly creatures to keep around or even remain in vicinity of due to its constant secretion of toxins. When not found in the wild, they are often captured and sold for high bargains to the wealthiest houses, often those of royalty.

Saltwater Fish

Includes all fish who primarily live in saltwater such as oceans, seas and saltwater lakes.

Saltwater Fish

Barnacle Trout	Barnacle Trout are common saltwater fish that have lived in Aloria for millenia. They are notable for their diet of crustaceans, principally barnacles, which they eat using their flat teeth. They are also notable for the purple stripe that runs the length of their ocean blue body. They migrate across the world, following ships and feeding on barnacles to stay alive. Though this habit can lead to problems despite seeming like a good thing for ships on the surface.

Eelboor Man of War	Mystery and intrigue surround the Eelboor Man of War as it glides in the wake of ships in the night and into the history texts of studious scholars intent on understanding this peculiar jellyfish. The Eelboor Man of War attracts the eyes of curious onlookers, educated or not, due to its immense size and odd appearance when compared to other oceanic creatures. While the exact date of its discovery is unknown, the Eelboor Man of War has reached its venomous tentacles through history upon its discovery off the coast of Farah’deen in the Great Middle Sea. Despite its large size, the Eelboor Man of War is quite fragile and prefers the Great Middle Sea due to its general lack of storms. Upon its initial discovery, fishermen were quick to spread tales of this gigantic creature haunting the depths of the ocean waiting for the inattentive sailor to slip from his perch.

Pahltu Reef Cracker	A fearsome predator of the sea, the Pahltu Reef Cracker is one of the largest fish to currently exist in Aloria. With tough armour and a seemingly obstinate need to destroy, these fish are found scouring the reefs around Hadaria, endlessly seeking out their next meal. Part of their name came from the term given to them by the Maiar, however, the rest was decided based on their behaviour. While people have attempted to use them as food, this has been concluded to be not worth the time; they aren’t very tasty and have a layer of armour to get through before they can be considered edible. Their numbers have been dropping considerably due to the amount of prey in the waters decreasing, both from their predation and due to commercial fishing, causing a lack of sustenance to maintain their large bodies and stay alive.

Blubvoldta	The Blubvoldta is a cold-water bottom-dwelling fish with a hideous appearance. While their bloated body gives the appearance of a lazy creature, its quick reflexes, and dangerously sticky tongue make it a fearsome animal. Rarely seen outside of their deep water habitat, they are valuable to alchemists and craftsmen because of their internal body slime. While the substance on its own is disgusting, diluting it with Vocadine or other alcohol-based alchemy mixtures often produce an excellent flame resistant lacquer.

Kalmian Spineback	The Kalmian Spineback is a fish unique to the Inner Kalm Sea in The North Belt. An anadromous fish, they swim up the various streams and rivers that feed the Sea to breed. As a result, all of the nearby Velheim nations are supplied with food every autumn in a predictable fashion. In ancient times it was said to be easier as the fish never “fought back” like they do today; their sharp spines are known to hurt animals hunting them as well as fishermen, causing damage to their tools as well. Regardless of this, the Kalmian Spineback remains a constant source of food for the local people around the Sea.

Echinoderms

Includes all coral and starfish.

Echinoderms

Walking Sea City Coral	An oddity in the Oceans of Aloria, the Walking Sea City Coral appears true to its namesake. A staggeringly large coral entity, this oddity wanders the warmer oceans of the world. The Walking Sea City Coral is a conglomerate of smaller corals belonging to the same species, clumping together to form one larger animal. The smaller Walking Sea Cities are typically one hundred-fifty to three hundred feet across, although they have been known to get as large as several hundred square feet. The Walking Sea City Coral has found itself home to schools of Maiar in the past and undoubtedly will continue to do so. This coral, in particular, holds relative importance for Aloria on an ecological scale. An essentially a nomadic marine ecosystem, it acts as a carbon and nitrogen fixer in the ocean.

Sponge Frill Coral	Description Pending...

Tentacle Coral	The Tentacle Coral is the only believed species of coral known to have no exoskeleton. It will congregate in fields of the invertebrate, wafting in the water along with the current, seemingly harmless. For a long while, it was considered a popular snack for the Maiar in the middle deep of the oceans around Hadaria, until they had to vacate. However, consuming the wrong parts of this creature can cause near-fatal injuries. The poisonous creature now remains largely untouched by those with the knowledge to keep them safe, but unaware organisms are still falling for its unimposing appearance to this day.

Crust Rock Coral	Description Pending...

Staryon Starfish	A common sight among the aquatic wildlife in Essalonia, the Staryon Starfish is truly one of a kind. This little invertebrate comes in a variety of colors which all depend on the temperature of their habitat and the composition of their diet. Although they have a relatively short and uninteresting history in the eyes of most scholars, the Staryon has a special place on the coasts of Essalonian states and the waters surrounding it. The Staryon can also be used to produce vibrant dyes but many of these are only available to merchants of the Songaskian Masaya and insular states, making them rare in other areas of Aloria. Many scholars in the field of aquaculture continue to study the Staryon and its remarkable ability to convert different materials into a natural dye.

Crustaceans

Includes all crabs and lobsters.

Crustaceans

Nordskag Kreb	Many fishermen and people who posses a general love for the sea will know the Nordskag Kreb. One of larger of the crab species, many inhabitants of the North adore catching and eating this crustacean. Populating the majority of the waters in Nordskag, the Nordskag Kreb has been a delicious meal for the Velheimers that caught them since they began catching them centuries ago. With a somewhat spiky and hard shell, all predators of the crab tend to be way bigger than it, as is custom with crustacean species. The Nordskag Kreb is rather abundant, and has a sweet flavor when their meat is properly cooked, the Kreb’s primary use is as a generic food product across Aloria, though focused in areas dominated by the Velheim.

Whale Crab	While regular Alorians may be more accustomed to folklore of beasts and creatures on land or soaring through the skies, menacing creatures such as the Whale Crab are revered by pirates and privateers alike. These crabs are like no other crustacean, having an enormous size that dwarfs Alorians. In the years following the Cataclysm, sea-travellers have repeatedly reported sightings of these colossal crustaceans, despite disbelief from some of their land-dwelling acquaintances. Most, if not all, seafarers have a certain fear of these beasts in their heart, unsure when the crabs will strike. Like many other mythical leviathans, Whale Crabs are seen in folklore across coastal cultures and any individual who claims to live on the open sea.

Arthropods

Insects

Includes all invertebrate bugs such as beetles, bees, ants, and more.

Insects

Common Sunstripe	Buzzing, bobbing, bumbling; the Common Sunstripe is, as the name suggests, incredibly common, and is the best known member of the bee family found in Aloria. The Common Sunstripe is found in all temperate climates of Aloria, including most of the Daen supercontinent and the Regalian Archipelago. Their nests can be found in the high branches of trees, and even sometimes in the dense grasses of a prairie. Common Sunstripes were first domesticated in Anglia around 9 AC, starting the wonderful trade of bee-keeping. Today, Common Sunstripes can be found across the Regalian Empire and its client-states, raised by farmers and enthusiasts alike to produce honey for the citizens of the Empire.

Anglian Bee	The Anglian Bee is known across the Regalian Archipelago as one of the most important animals to the Anglian ecosystem, despite being one of the smallest. The Anglian Bee, named after the place they are assumed to have originated from, are responsible for the pollination of the majority of the plants found in the Regalian Archipelago. Farmers in the region of Anglia often have great respect for these bees simply due to the fact that they allow the farmers to have a profitable crop, and without them much of the Regalian population would starve. Through Anglian migration, the Anglian Bee can be found in areas across the Archipelago and in pockets across the Regalian Empire. Their honey is said to be the sweetest in the world and the animal shows no sign of decreasing in numbers.

Hadar Wasp	Hadar Wasps are large diptera insects found in Hadar as well as the coastline of Sendras. These giant creatures served as a formidable menace to the various Hadarian kingdoms in their earlier years, and because a minor obstacle to Regalian troops and sailors during the Chrysant Wars. Today they remain unaffected by the frequent wars of the continent, and are now one of the most prevalent forms of life on the islands.

Saruhanna Sand Ant	The Saruhanna Sand Ant is a massive insectoid predator, preying on anything unfortunate enough to blunder into its territory. Uniformly reaching around 6 ft long and sporting a gunmetal silver carapace, these arthropods are perfectly suited to prey on the less fortunate denizens of Saruhanna. There are many theories as to how these creatures reached their massive size: some believe it was as a result of experimentation by ancient civilisations, others believe it was a result of the Cataclysm, and some suspect it is simply an extreme adaption to help them hunt larger prey. Regardless, they are a serious threat to any explorer, especially ones who are foolish enough to stray into the ants’ cavernous colony networks. Currently, Saruhanna Sand Ants are confined to a multitude of large colonies dotted across Faradh, and have become infamous among the locals as dangerous pack hunters.

Fendar Rotbite	The Fendar Rotbite, while not particularly dangerous, is certainly an unpleasant creature. This vile arthropod thrives on rotting bodies, the cause of its loathing. Rotbites were first discovered on Fendarfelle in 263 AC by an Ithanian logging company, whose workers called it “La Pourriture”. They make homes for themselves in graveyards and the dense jungles of the region. In modern times, the bugs are fairly uncommon due to their reclusive behavior, but still a nuisance that most graveyard workers must deal with.

Common Red Ant	As one might assume by their name, the Common Red Ant is rather widespread and known to exist on every continent containing a tropical climate, but their population is mainly centered in Daendroc. The Common Red Ant is an integral part of the ecosystem, assisting in the breaking down of leaves and killing other pest insects such as cockroaches and termites. For most, the fire ant is a pest that often burrows into the grounds near their homes and when agitated, whether accidentally or on purpose, sting their victim mercilessly. These ants are of great interest to scientists, though, due to their polymorphism, ability to survive, and mutualistic relationships with other insects and species that they appear to form.

Grand Papillon	The Grand Papillon is a vibrant butterfly that can possess colorations of yellow, green, red and brown in a black framed body. It has survived many disasters, from the devastating war between the Varran and Elven Empires, to the Cataclysm, to the recent military conflicts of the last two decades, such as the Rangers Crisis. It is also known for its large size and currently stands as a symbol of nature to the Faith of Estel while others view it as an excellent pollinator.

Southern Longwing	The Southern Longwing is well known in Daendroque culture as a symbol of movement but also disease. Supposedly carrying a plague that affected Elven society, this preconception remaining after the Cataclysm while the animal as a symbol of movement came both from its own frantic flitting over the waters and that it took a massive jump to southern lordships in the Regalian Archipelago. It is well known as the largest species of dragonfly, with enormous wings longer than their own bodies.

Regalian Lilaspitze	The Regalian Lilaspitze is a purple butterfly well-known to the Regalian Archipelago in which it resides. While it was once heavily connected to the Emperor and royal power, it has since declined into a general symbol of Empire commonly employed by those not educated in its eating habits. The Lilaspitze moves from north to south with the changing seasons to avoid the cold, blessing many with the sight of a group of these winged insects fluttering through the air on their way to warmer areas or their old home.

Feathered Meadowfly	Description Pending...

Common Bloat Fly	With its shiny, metallic colouring, the Common Bloat Fly is often seen around most parts of the Regalian Archipelago. Armed with an irritating sting, these creatures are viewed as nothing more than pests, feeding off of the waste of the Regalian Empire. This insect is often studied by scientists and scholars alike in an attempt to rid the world of its abhorrent presence.

Sewer Corpse Fly	Description Pending...

Sewer Bloat Fly	Horrifically mutated insects equipped with acidic bile whilst carrying the debilitating Mind Rot, the Sewer Bloat Fly is among the most feared predators of the Regalian Sewers. This scavenging fly has a body the size of a fist, thought to be the result of exposure to Void Essence or alchemical runoff, making it a terrifying sight to behold. It's highly defensive behaviour, coupled with their fast reproductive rate makes Sewer Bloat Flies very difficult to contain or remove from any one place. This creates a big problem for those who dwell in the Regalian Undercity; it is becoming increasingly difficult to prevent these insects from taking over more and more of the sewer systems, eventually rendering them completely uninhabitable.

Sewer Rot Fly	Found in large swarms, the Sewer Rot Fly finds and consumes unattended corpses in a matter of days. These horrific flies live in large cities, and can reduce a corpse to nothing but clean bones. It’s a commonly known fact that the insides of the flies are exceedingly dangerous. Every fly is filled with a rank sludge that will cause gangrene if it comes in contact with the skin. This makes combating swarms highly dangerous, and possibly deadly. Wherever there is death, the Sewer Rot Fly will be close by.

Axford Pondflitter	Description Pending...

Bugutza	The Bugutza is a creature very few Regalians would like to consider exists on Aloria, namely because of how disgusting it is. A large grub creature the size of a man’s arm, the insect has been a source of food for the Naylar inhabitants of Hadaria for years, making it an integral part of their cuisine. Surprisingly, despite the Chrysant War, this bug is still prosperous and is also known to be easy to find after a rainfall.

Farah’deen Dune Worm	Ever-violent and vicious titans, the Farah’deen Dune Worm lurks deep beneath the sands of Farah’deen, exploding out of the ground without warning to swallow up prey. The Dune Worm is a creature of unbelievable size and appetite that will consume almost anything in its path, including other Dune Worms. These rare monsters are some of the most feared things in all of Farah’deen, able destroy any caravan traveling on the sands within an instant.

Eartheater Skall	The Eartheater Skall is a worm native to Ellador, with white, matted fur, and tissue dense enough to endure the ragged drag of the underearth it crawls in. The now-absent Dakkar treated Skalls like mundane pests, while the Dwarves struggled against the creatures since their discovery. The Dwarves of Ellador took arms against the Skall, but stumbled upon the realization axes and swords were of little effect to the Skall’s resilient hide. Scholars accredit the Skalls as a major power player in the downfall to the Dwarven Empire of Ellador, with many leather workers accrediting the Skall for their hides.

Hadarian Beetle	Hadarian Beetles are over-sized insects treated as a common delicacy to the Allar and Slizzar. The insect emerged from the depths of Hadar during the last Void Invasion, sprouting from the earth and remaining topside as the archipelago formed around them. During the foundation of the Essa Empire, the beetle became renown as a Naylar delicacy and was widely consumed. With the fall of the Essa Empire the Hadarian Beetle's population in the wild has doubled since what it once was. The animal is most common in the eastern regions of the island chain today, with the more recent use as a carnival oddity. When prompted with food, the insect can perform simple tasks such as pushing and pulling small items and this is often done for the amusement of others.

Arachnids

Includes all joint-legged invertebrate animals such as spiders and scorpions.

Arachnids

Giant Drow Spider	While the Giant Spider of Fendarfelle may inspire terror in the average adventurer, the Giant Drow Spider is a terror of an entirely different sort. The result of direct intervention from the Archdemon, the Giant Drow Spider is a twisted variant of its Fendarfelle cousin. While not as common as some of the other corrupted fauna of Drowda, this is rarely viewed as a problem - a Giant Drow Spider is certainly not something you would want to go searching for.

Triton Scorpide	Description Pending...

Ekhton Rafiqua	Description Pending...

Giant Spider	The Giant Spider is considered one of the most terrifying creatures on the continent of Fendarfelle. This fact has baffled scholars, since this is true merely because of the fact that is a Giant Spider, and not really considerate of the fact that it is dangerous. Although creatures like Kyanprat and other, much larger, fauna are the source of many horror stories and tribulations, the Giant Spider is often the go-to for many novellas and tall tales. Even in comparison to the rest of Fendarfelle’s native fauna, the Giant Spider is a classically terrifying beast for most any Alorian.

Mollusca

Includes all snails, slugs, squids, and octopi.

Mollusca

Grashobaig	The Grashobaig is a large snail found near and around the border between Hyarroc and Daendroc. Normally the size of a horse, these slow and docile creatures are seemingly harmless, though their defense mechanism holds a dark and dangerous threat to any who approach with intention of harm. While they grow at fast rates and breed regularly, their numbers are dwindling in the Dark Iron Tribelands and Blood Clan Tribelands due to hunting from Orcs who seek to best one of the grand gastropods as a challenge of skill.

Deep Sea Giant Loptus	While the Oceans of Aloria have been barely explored, the Deep Sea Giant Loptus lurks in the depths of all of them. The Deep Sea Giant Loptus is a gigantic squid, using two large tentacles to move swiftly through the water by propelling itself forward in a spiral motion. For many years these leviathans have remained hidden, only shown in folklore throughout many cultures. Many seafarers claim they’ve spotted the creature, though the validity of this is tenuous, as the Deep Sea Giant Loptus are uncommon and few in number. The size of this creature has taken the interest of scholars, and its ferocious mentality has been adapted to folklore in some cultures.

Squiggs Octovin	Although it is one Aloria’s better known mollusks, the Squiggs Octovin is still widely regarded as one of the quirkiest creatures to live in the sea. It is odd-looking, decorates patches of the sea floor with underwater debris, and sprays clouds of ink at anything that is unfortunate enough to frighten the creature. It is found throughout the shallow seas of Corontium and along the Eastern shores of Daen, but nowhere else in the world. The Octovin is considered a meal by some, and a source of luxury ink by others. But, like all of Aloria’s mollusks, not a whole lot is known about the Octovin.

Redknob Octopus	The Redknobed Octopus is a medium-sized octopus with a long history in Hadaria. From the time of the Meraic, this mollusc has swam the waters of the region and is known to many races. Their last point of prominence was when the Essa Empire attempted to use their natural venom sacks as alchemical weapons of war. However, the dominance of the Imperial Fleet and rise of the Maiar in the Chrysant War saved the animal from this oceanic farming. They are also notable as a hermaphroditic species, taking on the roles of male and female only when they need to. Today they are once again common in the waters around Hadaria.

Magus

Haurmann	If there ever was a creature that deserved to die, it would be the Haurmann. Haurmann have no purpose in life other than to eat and annoy whomever they cross paths with. They resemble small walking eggs with horrific, almost balloon-like features on their faces, eyes that look like they could fall out of their sockets and crooked teeth that make one wonder how they can even consume anything. Haurmann are frequently the butt joke of comedy shows, and some particularly unentertaining bars or cafes have one behind the bar for cheap entertainment.

Nenya	Subject of many tales, myths, urban legends, and even religious fanaticism, the Nenya are an extinct species of sentient trees. These great Magus mysteries were thought to be taller than most Regalian buildings, and capable of walking—and even talking—with others. The Nenya have played an important role in Nelfin history; they are thought to have preceded the Elven Empire, and to have been magical emissaries of Estel herself. Unfortunately, the Nenya haven’t been seen since before the Cataclysm; during the Night of the Fallen Star, the Shendar ensured that the few remaining emissaries were driven into hiding, or further eradicated.

Temple Orphan	The greatest horror that stalks the jungles of Solangeria, the Temple Orphan, is responsible for the vast majority of deaths of explorers that dare to venture into the deep jungles. Temple Orphans are relatively rare, but the Solangeria Qadir always know where to find them, or more specifically how to guide intruders towards them to certain death. The Temple Orphans are as mysterious as they are deadly. Various mythical tales as to their origin existing among various peoples who have made contact with them and survived. Temple Orphans carry their name because while passive, they emit a sound that sounds eerily similar to a crying baby. As soon as their prey comes close enough, the sound stops, the head turns and death follows shortly. It should be noted that the Temple Orphans do not actually hunt their prey. They simply seem to attract anyone curious enough for the sake of killing them. Not even for food, as these creatures have never been witnessed to consume any of their victims or indeed any food at all. It simply just kills for the sake of killing.

Frost Wyvern	The Frost Wyvern is a mysterious creature endemic to Ellador that serves as the primary mount of the Isldar race. These winged animals were never seen before the Cataclysm, leading most to assume that the creatures were beasts left over from the Fifth Void Invasion or somehow the lesser offspring of the Great Ice Dragon. Regardless of their origins, the creatures have proven dangerous in combat against wild animals and other sentient races. Given the recent conflict in Ellador, some Northern nations fear the day that snowstorms will come bearing these creatures hiding inside them.

Bone Horror	Bone Horrors did not exist beyond the nightmares of the common folk until a year ago. While Undead do exist on Aloria, they are rarely as fast or as murderous as stories make them out to be. However, following the Battle of Adelaar Cliffs in the Regalia-Arloran War, the Bone Horror Crisis began. A worldwide event, it saw all rotting flesh and bones on several continents coalesce into creatures known as Bone Horrors. Filled with a mindless hatred for the living and even the Undead, these creatures did considerable damage to multiple nations and their people. An unknown magical event rendered them killable while simultaneously, Qadir mechanists crafted new weapons to defeat the monsters, turning the tide against them. Today, Bone Horrors still survive in pockets throughout the world, always on the move toward the living.

Feathered Dragon	The Feathered Dragons were the only Dragon species presumed native to the Regalian Archipelago in the many millennia before their eventual assumed extinction around 20 BC. The Feathered Dragons are best remembered for having a major impact on the local environment of the early Regalian Kingdom, as well as living on in various symbolisms and family crests. Throughout the years before their assumed extinction, the Dragons had frequent contact with the early Regalian Humans, and as such, several theories and folk lore stories continue to thrive, particularly in Anglia and Drixagh.

Yellow Water Dragon	The Yellow Water Dragons were the smallest Dragons ever witnessed in the world of Aloria. These elegant small Dragons often lived near the water, more notably around coastlines of Hadar and Sendras. The Yellow Water Dragons were strongly adored by the Slizzar and, to a lesser degree, the Allar. Much like the other Dragon species, the Yellow Water Dragons went extinct some time around 50 BC by some disease that struck them over the course of a decade. The Allar attempted to save the Yellow Water Dragons, though to little effect unfortunately.

Black Desert Dragon	The Black Desert Dragon was a formidable force of nature that lived in Farah’deen for over a thousand years. They were violent tyrants with a complex relationship with other dragons and a xenophobic nature that caused them to hate all other forms of life. They are most remembered for possessing two sets of pitch-black wings which they used with brutal efficiency in stirring up air into powerful and destructive cyclones. In 113 AC, the Sariyd Empire finally had enough of them and unleashed a terrible weapon against the dragons: the Red Hunt. By 121 AC, the dragon was assumed extinct, but that same year, the Great Storm came and annihilated the Qadir’s vast empire. No Black Desert Dragon has been seen since, and it is assumed the Storm had killed off any that were left to begin with, as with the other desert dragons.

Red Desert Dragon	The Red Desert Dragon, not to be confused with the Red Fire Dragon, was a species of dragon originally from Farah'deen that was last recorded migrating to Solangeria. Baffling to most scholars, its disappearance happened within the same timespan as the other desert dragons, a fact that complements many Dregodarian conspiracy theories. With scales not quite as bright or brilliant as the Red Fire Dragons, the Red Desert Dragon was one of the less-spoken of dragons. This is a result of almost no recorded interactions with it; only some quantities of Qadir had even seen one before the Red Hunt. That being said, the Sariyd Empire clearly believed it to be as much a threat as the other Desert Dragons, otherwise, it would not have bothered killing any of it in their march through the desert.

Brown Desert Dragon	The Brown Desert Dragon was a close cousin to the more powerful and dominant Black Desert Dragon. The dragons lived together for centuries, the Browns always subservient to the Blacks and obeying their wants and desires. Their personalities were that of lap-dogs, constantly adoring and considering themselves lesser than their Black-scaled cousins. When the Sariyd Empire was weakened, they eagerly helped their cousins in their attacks on Qadir cities and were the first dragons to stand against the Qadir when the first Dragonkiller was unleashed against the dragonkind of Farah’deen. Similar to their cousin, the dragon was assumed extinct in 121 AC, because in that same year, the Great Storm came and annihilated the Qadir’s vast empire. No Brown Desert Dragon has been seen since.

Rock Desert Dragon	Named for both its habitat of choice and its appearance, the Rock Desert Dragon is one of the more intriguing and unusual among the dragon species. Along with the Great Sea Dragon, the Rock Desert Dragon could not fly, but unlike the Sea Dragon, it also could not swim. The land was their domain, and while the Rock Desert Dragon may be considered handicapped because of the lack of wings, it was in no way helpless. On the contrary, it was one of the stronger dragon species, having more brute strength than the Nightdrake and the Black Desert Dragon. As one might assume, however, its magical capabilities were less than admirable; it merely sported a diluted or weaker version of the Nightdrake’s ability to manipulate stone. It, along with the other members of the desert dragon family, was assumed eradicated by the Qadir in the Red Hunt. Given the Rock Desert Dragon’s nigh indestructible coat of rocky scales, it’s a frightening thought to consider that the Dragonkiller, the Qadir’s terrifying machine used in the eight years of the Red Hunt, could penetrate the armor of the dragon.

Sun Desert Dragon	Sometimes considered the antithesis of the innocent, childlike Yellow Water Dragon of Hadar, the Sun Desert Dragon is chaos incarnate on four legs. With the ability to spit molten, liquefied rock like a Cobravv spitting venom, it was rated amongst the dragons, that it causes the most painful and slow death imaginable out of the whole collection of dragons that ever existed on Aloria. Despite their capabilities for slow, drawn out death, they were one of the smaller species of dragon, rivaling the size of the Yellow Water Dragon. However, its size should not be used to underestimate its skill in battle or its prowess as a predator, as it can be even be considered more dangerous than many of the larger dragons.

Green Forest Dragon	The Green Forest Dragon was once one of the smaller species of dragon that roamed Aloria, yet despite their size, they were just as powerful as one would expect a dragon to be. It was a more commonly seen dragon, often soaring across the azure skies prior to the Great Dragon Hunt in 101 BC, when the nobility of the Elven Empire banded together to exterminate what they called “winged pests” from Aloria. Bones of these great beasts are kept even today by Avanthar dragon-worshipping cults, and revered as sacred artifacts of a greater time in Nelfin existence. These dragons, quite contrary to what propaganda was spread by the Altalar after their extinction, were exceedingly powerful, and were even rumored to be responsible for the success of the flora in Daen.

Yellow Sky Dragon	The Yellow Sky Dragon once dominated the skies of Sendras though they fell into declared extinction by all official sources. These daring creatures of the sky notably disappeared in 40 BC, with many disregarding this monumental event due to their nuisance-status in many civilizations. The Dragon was also noted for its ability to breathe poisonous gas, a trait they often utilized whilst hunting prey. With a limited impact, most have forgotten the Yellow Sky Dragon, though some alchemists still lust after their bones to produce truly frightening poisons.

Red Fire Dragon	The Red Fire Dragons are among the largest dragons known to Aloria, and are perhaps the most infamous. With no central habitat or base of operations, the dragons have been known to create dens all across Aloria. Although always presumed to be extinct, the actual status of the Red Fire Dragon’s existence is unknown, with some scholars going so far as to argue that their extinction never occurred, and their populace lays in wait for an opportune moment to establish themselves once more. Famous and unforgettable sightings of these avatars of destruction include the Siege of Cie’lanna, the Destruction of Ardenwald, and the Battle of the Ba’lellen Plain. However, the Battle of Ba’lellen was a very minor battle between the Elves, with not much history being offered on it. Some have theorized that the Pit of the Basilisk is an ancient Red Fire Dragon den, broken and crumbled by the decay of time, but this is obviously disputed by most other scholars.

Nightdrake	As mysterious as its scales are dark, the Nightdrake brought terror and fear to the hearts of Alorians for years until its eventual assumed extinction in 190 AC. The scales, strangely enough, proved to be non-biodegradable, and as such is the only dragon from which Dragon Scale Armor can be made. Its bones, like its scales, are very valuable to dragon worshippers-- especially Dragon Priests-- and produce an oddly savage fragrance when burned. As a result, some Dragon Dogma followers use the bones as a form of incense in their worship rites. Earlier in Alorian history, Elves and Ailor alike were afraid to venture into the mountains of Aloria, out of fear for the dragons that lived within.

-|fauna7desc = The Frosthorn, or more commonly known by the Northerne people as the Khyzhak, is undoubtedly the apex predator of [[Jorrhildr]]’s frozen wastes and [[Ellador]]’s icefields. Enormous, ferocious, and a relentless hunter, these great white monsters prowl through the snow and ice in search of prey to butcher; whether it be [[Url]], [[Thylan]], or [[Ailor]]. Known for its grotesque size and strength, Frosthorns dominate the frosty landscape and are a menace to any unfortunate enough to cross their paths.

What makes the Frosthorn unique, however, is its naturally present forked antlers growing from its forehead while its massive size is also notable. In addition, the animal is shrouded in mist, having lived at the edges of major civilizations for several centuries if tales and wall art is to be believed. The animal is also notable as having recently appeared at the [[Battle of Curag Fields]], furthering the mystery around them just as many more mysteries of the past begin to reopen across Aloria in recent years.
