List of Fauna

Aloria is rich in fauna and is filled with a 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 two types. The first is full Wiki pages with greater information supplied due to their significance to Proficiencies, Cultures or Races. The second 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. Please keep in mind that Aloria is full of real-world animals and that the lack of an entry on lions or elephants does not discount them from the lore. We encourage players to keep animal interactions realistic as it is highly unlikely an Eronidas from Westwynd would encounter, say, a penguin, in that same region.

Arthropods & Arachnids

{{Fauna Table |title = Arthropods & Arachnids

|fauna1 = Elmin |fauna1desc = Elmin are large, rideable insects with moth-like qualities used by the Maraya as a method of non-Crystaltech transportation. Their origin is mysterious, with explanations ranging from experimentation with ancient Vault-stored creatures, to them being a natural creature long removed from Sendrass. They have a wide range of colorations that coat their large bodies, and this beautiful, soft “fur” is appreciated even by some of the biggest lepidopterophobes.

|fauna2 = Giant Spider |fauna2desc = The Giant Spider has terrified many people for decades and was originally widespread across the north and west of Aloria until the Cataclysm, which isolated them to only two continents. They are certainly not an ideal creature to encounter for arachnophobes, well-known for their venom and varied dens, living in web-dense trees, tunnels beneath the earth, and mountain cave systems. They are also the feature of many horror stories among the colonists of Fendarfelle and the Sihndar of Drowda, but with the rise of Bone Horrors, many Giant Spider populations close to the coastline have seen a drastic reduction as they suffer at the hands of these undead beasts.

|fauna3 = Giant Scorpion |fauna3desc = It is rumored that the Asha of the Dewamenet Empire rode the backs of scorpions the size of mountains, terrible beasts that could breathe fire, pierce city walls with their stingers, and tear even the strongest of lines of soldiers asunder with their claws. The reality is far more mundane, but still a sight to scare most warriors. Giant Scorpions exist in various populations across the west of Aloria, with one notable subspecies indeed domesticated by the Asha for riding. However, it does not dwarf any home or structure, and fortunately for the world, Giant Scorpions are uncommon in modern times.

|fauna4 = Fendar Rotbiter |fauna4desc = *Fendar Rotbiters are Medium to Large segmented, centipede-like organisms which, while traditionally happy to eat rotten trees, can and will also consume rotting flesh.

• The thick, smooth covering of the Fendar Rotbiter carapace is a deep blue hue, while their many limbs are a shade of deep brown. They sense through the use of two long antennae above bulbous, mirrored eyes.
• Fendar Rotbiters can only be found in Fendarfelle, where they run wild and infest the jungles. They generally keep away from settlements, but attacks have been known to occur, with their bite capable of delivering a painful acidic toxic that can leave permanent scars, further adding to their infamy.
• Fendar Rotbiters are likely far more common in the inland regions of Fendarfelle, but many believe they are likely suffering adversely due to the arrival of Bone Horrors to the area some years ago.
