|fauna1desc    = 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.

|fauna2     = [[A’evol]]
|fauna2   = [[Vile Rat]]
|fauna2desc    = 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.  
|fauna2desc    = 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.


|fauna3   = [[Vile Rat]]
|fauna3     = [[Common Rat]]
|fauna3desc    = 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.
|fauna3desc    = 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.


|fauna4    = [[Common Rat]]
|fauna4    = [[Regalian Sewer Rat]]
|fauna4desc     = 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.
|fauna4desc   = 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.


|fauna5     = [[Regalian Sewer Rat]]
|fauna5   = [[Field Mouse]]
|fauna5desc   = The Regalian Sewer Rat is not nearly as widespread as its other vermin counterparts, because of its habitat -- The [[Regalian]] Sewers.

|fauna5desc = 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.


|fauna6    = [[Field Mouse]]
|fauna6    = [[House Mouse]]
|fauna6desc = 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.

Attempts to rid this animal from its habitat around [[Ailor]] settlements have been unsuccessful and continue to be even to this day.
|fauna6desc = 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.


|fauna7    = [[House Mouse]]
|fauna7    = [[Desert Mouse]]
|fauna7desc = The most common mouse in [[Aloria]] is the House Mouse. It inhabits the cities and houses in nearly every single continent in Aloria.

It is for this fact that this animal has not been outright eradicated by the various sentient species that it lives beside.
|fauna7desc = 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.


|fauna8    = [[Desert Mouse]]
|fauna8    = [[Longtail Mouse]]
|fauna8desc = 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.

|fauna8desc = 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.


|fauna9    = [[Longtail Mouse]]
|fauna9    = [[Candle Mouse]]

|fauna9desc = 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.

|fauna10desc = 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.

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.
