Aloria is rich in both fauna and flora. This page specifically is dedicated to the broad range of animal life which grows and thrives across the many continents. All animals are split into relevant categories, and are further divided into three types. The first is full Wiki pages with greater information supplied due to their significance to Proficiencies, Cultures or Races. The second are the General Animals, the basic and often common forms of life which can be divided into many subgroupings based on the regions they inhabit. The last are the Specific Animals, unique, one-off fauna with unique traits and a place in the lore, yet almost no interaction from the playerbase or practical involvement in Progressions, instead useful as a purely background feature. Keep in mind that this list is not final and will be added to when necessary.
