Revision as of 06:58, 5 June 2010
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
Plains
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.
Plain terrain fauna
In Mist ocean
Stone Snail
Size: 45 feet
Threat: Medium
The name of this enormous snail comes from its shell, which is indeed literally as hard as a rock, and equally heavy as well. This weight allows the snail to endure the formidable winds of the Mist Ocean. Stone snails are extremely slow and don't move very much. They are omnivores, lazily grazing on the nearby vegetation, or capturing prey that fall within the range of their long and thin, yet surprisingly strong sticky tongue, that they can project in the blink of an eye. Once their prey is stuck on their tongue, it is pulled back into the large, fleshy and expandable mouth of the snail, and promptly swallowed. The creature then retracts into its shell to quietly digest its meal.
Ouraghin
Size: 90 feet
Threat: High
A sort of giant grey fox with piercing eyes, curved teeth, and three tails. These massive creatures are an oddity in mist ocean, being quite light compared to the average fauna in this region. Yet, they stand unaffected by the winds. People who have managed to get near them and live, say that the wind is completely absent around their body, lending to the theory that it contains some sort of magical power that nullifies the wind. This evidence was obtained when a group of adventurers found one ouraghin pup, that they slew and skinned. As soon as they dragged away the fur, the corpse of the poor animal was literally blown away by the wind. They later said that, while within a meter of the fur, they felt not even the slightest breath of wind. Ouraghins are fierce predators however, and harming their pups is definitely not very healthy. These beasts are very fast, agile, and clever, and they can perform mighty wind magic using their tails, when outside of mist ocean.
It's interesting to note that some very rare ouraghins have been tamed after they were stolen as pups. Ouraghin pups are very curious and playful, though seeing they are already 15 to 20 feet tall, many attempts to kidnap them led to the kidnapper being played with... a little roughly, so to speak.
