The Felayan fauna is composed of many species from many worlds which makes it very varied and unpredictable. See also carnivorous plants and plant life. These pages feature mostly dangerous or remarkable creatures. There is many many others, from small animals to harmless herbivores, or unreported species that aren't listed here but exist and are part of the great Felarya food chain. Because the page is reaching the maximum size, here is the second part of the fauna : Fauna2, third : Fauna3, fourth : Fauna4, and fifth : Fauna5

Note about the threat ranking:

It's based on the threat that the creature represents for a normal human. It's not necessarily linked to the strength of the creature. For example the dryad Cypress would rank very low because she is very friendly to humans, yet she is a powerful being.

Rank:

• Minimal: A totally harmless being such as a mouse or a rabbit.
• Very Low: Mostly herbivores but who can still strike back if attacked.
• Low: Various animals such as felines.
• Moderate: A moderately dangerous Felaryan creature can still be very dangerous in another world. For example a great white shark would rank between Low and Moderate here...
• Medium: A predatory, dangerous and often man-eating creature.
• High: A great predator. Crisis is in this category.
• Very High: A top predator. This creature could take on a small army.
• Critical: In Felaryan scales, very few creatures reach this rank.
• Extreme: A guardian or a mythical creature. Only a god can hope to survive a confrontation with one of these.

Ice terrain fauna

In frost peak

Snow Tiger

Size: 15 feet
Threat: Moderate

White fur covered tigers found in the frigged Felaryan mountains. These intelligent beasts generally live in clans of 3-7, and are very loyal to one another, but are equally distrusting of other clans. The Intrepid human explorer has much to fear from them as they are not easily tricked and posses superior strength.

Ice Kensha Beast

Size: 35 feet
Threat: Medium

Kensha Beasts are one of the more dominant species of Felarya, and have spread in many regions, adapting to every climates. This variety is similar in many way to their forest dwelling relatives, save for their pure white fur which allow them to blend perfectly in the snow, and add yet another element of danger. They also possess shining clear claws which are pretty valuable in jewlery making.

Ice Wyrm

Size: 200 to 400 feet
Threat: Very High

Little is know about this formidable and legendary creature. It resembles a gigantic worm, with a serpentine body and four massive armored beaks on its head, around its mouth. It moves under the earth by pushing itself along, suddenly emerging to attack. The creature possesses rows of spines on its back which it can extend to pierce a prey. Its multiple eyes ring its face and let it see in many directions at once. Its skin is pure white, with its mouth section a dark grey. The biggest specimens are said to reach double the size of a Naga, although they rarely leave the earth entirely. Ice wyrms are incredibly agressive, and attack virtually anything. One is said to have devoured an entire small Miratan outpost once, having simply swallowed the structure whole ! Their very thick skin make the use of explosives and missiles almost useless. The best thing to do when encountering those formidable beasts is to run !

Lermenin

Size: 1 foot
Threat: Minimal

Small, white, furry ,and the cutest things on or off the mountain, although somewhat cranky. They are intelligent and devious little creatures, about the size of a large house cat and resembling an earth ferret in some ways. Needless to say they are at the bottom of the food chain and depend on cunning to survive. They live in small crevices in the rock too small for other creatures. It's worth noting that they love to rob travelers of interesting things such as tiny round shiny objects.

Because the page is reaching the maximum size, here is the second part of the fauna : Fauna2, third : Fauna3, fourth : Fauna4, and fifth : Fauna5
