|fauna10desc = The Feathered Meadowfly is a species of moth commonly associated with the moon in [[Ithanian Culture]], although references to it date back to the ancient [[Varran]]. Seeing one of these creatures in the daytime is a rather rare sight indeed, but traveling through Ithania in particular at night, the opposite is true. It is noted for its gender-swapped color pallet as unlike many other animals, the males are usually gray, with the females sporting the vibrant colors. The Feathered Meadowfly continues to influence [[Ithanian]] art today, appearing in paintings and poems in particular.

|fauna11    = [[Common Bloat Fly]]
|fauna11    = [[Fly]]
|fauna11desc = 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.
|fauna11desc = Flies are among the most common creatures in all of [[Aloria]] and are an annoyance to members of all [[Races]] and [[Cultures]] from any walk of life. Though they are often trivialized, they are vital scavengers that aid in decomposition of dead animals to provide sustenance for trees, flowers, and scavengers. Some Flies are more of a nuisance than others, and some are even outright dangerous. Almost all of them are thought of as disease carriers and signs of dirt and decay.


|fauna12    = [[Sewer Corpse Fly]]
|fauna12    = [[Haelstram Jungle Scuttler]]
|fauna12desc = ''Description Pending...''
|fauna12desc = For as long as anyone can remember, the Haelstram Jungle Scuttler has crawled in the leaflitter of [[L’Elvellen’s]] jungles. This large, venomous insect is known to locals as a hazard, and though they do not threaten the lives of grown [[Ailor]], they can seriously wound most races and outright kill young children that tread on them by mistake. Infamous for its potent bite and disturbing visage, the Haelstram Jungle Scuttler is among the most reviled arthropods in [[Daendroc]].


|fauna13    = [[Sewer Bloat Fly]]
|fauna13    = [[Llinàme]]
|fauna13desc = 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.
|fauna13desc = Despite their unassuming appearance, Llinàme are vital for the work of natural scientists and taxidermists across [[Aloria]], commonly used to clean skeletons of flesh to prepare them for display or examination. These small, black grubs were originally discovered in the forested regions of pre-[[Cataclysm]] [[Ithania]] and first domesticated by the [[Ithanian]] [[Ailor]] around 100 AC. While these worms are not very common in their natural habitat, most natural history museums now have at least one large colony of the grubs which they use to clean skeletons. Recently, concerns have been raised that Llinàme may become a pest species due to their voracious appetite and broad diet, though infestations are currently very rare.


|fauna14    = [[Sewer Rot Fly]]
|fauna14    = [[Axford Pondflitter]]
|fauna14desc = 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.
|fauna14desc = For as long as [[Humans]] have lived in [[Anglia]], the Axford Pondflitter has lived alongside them in the marshy and wet areas of Anglian lowland. Often mistaken for dragonflies, Axford Pondflitters are known for their iridescent bodies and their tendency to dart through the air low to the water’s surface in search of emerging prey insects.


|fauna15    = [[Haelstram Jungle Scuttler]]
|fauna15    = [[Bugutza]]
|fauna15desc = For as long as anyone can remember, the Haelstram Jungle Scuttler has crawled in the leaflitter of [[L’Elvellen’s]] jungles. This large, venomous insect is known to locals as a hazard, and though they do not threaten the lives of grown [[Ailor]], they can seriously wound most races and outright kill young children that tread on them by mistake. Infamous for its potent bite and disturbing visage, the Haelstram Jungle Scuttler is among the most reviled arthropods in [[Daendroc]].
|fauna15desc = 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.


|fauna16    = [[Llinàme]]
|fauna16    = [[Farah’deen Dune Worm]]
|fauna16desc = Despite their unassuming appearance, Llinàme are vital for the work of natural scientists and taxidermists across [[Aloria]], commonly used to clean skeletons of flesh to prepare them for display or examination. These small, black grubs were originally discovered in the forested regions of pre-[[Cataclysm]] [[Ithania]] and first domesticated by the [[Ithanian]] [[Ailor]] around 100 AC.

Recently, concerns have been raised that Llinàme may become a pest species due to their voracious appetite and broad diet, though infestations are currently very rare.
|fauna16desc = 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.


|fauna17    = [[Axford Pondflitter]]
|fauna17    = [[Eartheater Skall]]
|fauna17desc = For as long as [[Humans]] have lived in [[Anglia]], the Axford Pondflitter has lived alongside them in the marshy and wet areas of Anglian lowland. Often mistaken for dragonflies, Axford Pondflitters are known for their iridescent bodies and their tendency to dart through the air low to the water’s surface in search of emerging prey insects.
|fauna17desc = 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.


|fauna18   = [[Bugutza]]
|fauna18    = [[Hadarian Beetle]]
|fauna18desc = 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.
|fauna18desc = 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.
 
|fauna19    = [[Farah’deen Dune Worm]]
|fauna19desc = 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.

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!
