|fauna6    = [[Moloq]]
|fauna6    = [[Moloq]]
|fauna6desc = The Moloq are a form of aquatic life native to the waters that lie between [[Westafar]] and wider [[Aloria]], being known to the [[Eronidas]], [[Teledden]], [[Fin'ullen]] and later [[Maquixtl]] as unique creatures of the water. Semi-aquatic and just as likely to be found on land as within the waves, the Moloq have greatly evolved as a society in recent centuries to have greater order and unity than they did in the past. With thick tendrils from their head which serve as the basis for a Maquixtl transformation, and a quartet of arms, the Moloq are impressive creatures who have often been overlooked in the newer centuries of Alorian history, a situation ultimately to their benefit as they continue to multiply and grow as a near-sentient species.

|fauna7    = [[Harpy]]
|fauna7desc = Harpies are half-avian, half-humanoid beings with an ancient history equaling that of the [[Centaur]]s. Born of unknown origins, Harpies were once regal beings who avoided slavery in the [[Allorn Empire]] through some, now vague means. They were ultimately seduced by the powers of the [[Void]], a process likely begun by the people who would become the [[Kathar]], and in the end, the Harpies were reduced to a bestial state in service of the [[Dread Empire]]. While they still possess intellect today, they are best known as creatures of attack and amusement among the Kathar and the other [[Races]] of [[Aloria]].

|fauna4    = [[Cauruvos]]
|fauna4    = [[Cauruvos]]
|fauna4desc = In the war-torn lands of the [[Dread Empire]], there lives a range of dog-like creatures called the Cauruvos. These dogs, though three-headed, fulfill many of the same purposes as canines in [[Ailor]] lands; as docile domestic pet animals, and as frontline warbeasts, shredding the flanks of the enemies of the [[Kathar]]. Away from the warfront, the smaller breeds of Cauruvos can be found as house pets and in the camps of slavers, guarding their masters or their property while they sleep. Cauruvos come in a wide range of shapes and sizes, the result of selective breeding from the Kathar per their needs. However, one trait, despite all their efforts, has prevailed through all breeds; the Cauruvos is bred for war.

|fauna2    = [[Fruger-Volador]]
|fauna2    = [[Fruger-Volador]]
|fauna2desc    = The Fruger-Volador is a species of bat native to western lands, known for being mischaracterized for years as a bloodsucker and a menace to society. Feared and often killed by the [[Ailor]] locals since the time they were slaves of the [[Allorn Empire]], the animals greatly recovered following the explosion of nature that followed the [[Wildering]]. Divided into three subspecies of varying sizes, the Fruger-Volador is likely to survive for many more years, though deforestation will probably begin restricting the locations of their colonies.

|fauna5desc    = The Muff-oxen is a large bovid found on the [[Ashal Islands]], and also lives along the rivers that wind through wider [[Westwynd]]. This ancient animal was connected to the [[Asha]] millennia ago when the [[Allorn Empire]] conquered their rival empire, and survived to the modern day in those wilds as well as among the enslaved Asha. Huge, but lacking intellect, these animals eat, grow and reproduce, their meat and dairy a major part of Asha diets today, while the Muff-oxen in the wild are sometimes hunted for those same byproducts.

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.
