|fauna1    = [[Squirrel]]
|fauna1desc    = ''Description Pending...''
|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.

|fauna8desc = ''Description Pending...''
|fauna8desc = The Red Fur Fox of [[Dragenthal]] is a common sight for anyone on the western side of the Regalian Archipelago, including [[Anglia]] and [[Vixhall]]. A long loved sigil of the Dragenthaler people, the red fox has and will continue to be a symbol that represents the Heartland. As a savvy and beloved animal, it continues to thrive in captivity as it has been recently domesticated and is now a frequently hunted animal in Dragenthal Due to their rather recent integration into [[Ailor]] societies, only the wealthy or extremely patient are able to truly domesticate a fox into forming a bond. Many foxes either outright reject the owner’s attempts to bond with it, or despise them so much that they attack them. The reason for their investigative domestication is due to this trait, where they almost exhibit some form of judgement or sentient thought, though no progress has been made nor are there any set guidelines for what a Red Fur Fox prefers.

|fauna3desc    = Similar to the [[Ogres]] of [[Ellador]] in that they are a near-sentient mammalian species the Thylan have been a non-dominating feature of [[Jorrhildr]] since pre-[[Cataclysm]] timest. As tall as a [[Dwarf]] and easily outnumbering the [[Url]] and [[Velheim]] [[Ailor]] that live alongside them, Thylan are nevertheless badly adapted for the various demanding climates of Jorrhildr. Due to their failure to adapt properly, the Thylan are currently considered a common, though manageable threat or, in some particularly well-fortified areas, a pest. In recent years, however, Jorrhildr’s numerous [[Seraph]] ruins have garnered ever more scrutiny from the outside world, though reaching them requires a long and dangerous trek through Thylan-infested lands.

|fauna4desc    = The Rockback Whale is a unique species of whale endemic to the coasts of [[Sendrass]] and the eastern coast of [[Farah’deen]]. The creature was only known in [[Elven]] myths, as tales told of islands growing on the back of huge fish before they vanished into the waves once more. It was only after the [[Cataclysm]] that these myths were proven right, if not somewhat exaggerated, when [[Allar]] vessels first ventured out beyond their shores to seek a refuge from the [[Mu-Allar]]. Known to the wider world ever since, these creatures have inspired beauty and mystery as they possess a unique skin on their backs that help clams, barnacles and sea moss to grow. With the [[Bone Horror Crisis]] unleashing a horde of undead bone sea monsters out from [[Hadaria]] into southern waters, the Rockback Whale’s future is uncertain.

|fauna1desc    = Many fishermen and people who posses a general love for the sea will know the Nordskag Kreb. One of larger of the crab species, many inhabitants of the North adore catching and eating this crustacean. Populating the majority of the waters in [[Nordskag]], the Nordskag Kreb has been a delicious meal for the [[Velheimers]] that caught them since they began catching them centuries ago. With a somewhat spiky and hard shell, all predators of the crab tend to be way bigger than it, as is custom with crustacean species. The Nordskag Kreb is rather abundant, and has a sweet flavor when their meat is properly cooked, the Kreb’s primary use is as a generic food product across Aloria, though focused in areas dominated by the Velheim.

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.
