Marine


The seas and oceans of the realms make up the vast majority of surface mass of Eos and Aos, and though housing in themselves dozens of differing sub-biomes, to descendants, it is many times simply a long unending mass of ocean. Both a bounty and a destroyer, the waters of the realms bear a bizarre relationship with descendants. Though many coastal settlements exist, there has no been history of any group of descendants living solely on the ocean, hence, it is technically the least hospitable biome of them all.

Kelpie

Physiology

 

Kelpies take on the form of a beautiful black stallion, who sometimes can have some variation in appearance, some have seaweed entangled in their manes, while others have flowers.

 

Habitat

 

This enticingly deathly stallion can be found by those adventurous enough to explore and look for deep bodies of water. Most commonly, the kelpies inhabit rivers and streams - awaiting a new morsel to charm and drown.

 

Behaviour

 

  • Will hunt any who are near, or in the vicinity, of its habitat.
  • Only engages in combat if forced to. First will do everything in its power to charm and drown the victim if it is female.
  • Will attempt to retreat if faced with too powerful an opponent(s).

 

Kelpies will be hostile toward any who are near, or in, their habitat, attempting to charm and drown them before resorting to their adept ability to control the waters around them - in desperation to escape.

 

Abilities

Aquatic

They can control water from their habitat by sending large waves and violent torrents toward those harbouring hostility or threatening their safety.

Holds an enticing charm towards people, causing those afflicted to feel a sense of comfort - incapable of noticing those around them; else than the Kelpie. The victim would not feel any reason to struggle or distrust the Kelpie. This charm pulls them in, forcing people onto the horse’s back - drowning a short time after due to the Kelpie submerging the victim under the waters of their habitat.

 

 

Redlines

-Cannot take on the form of other creatures.

-Only women can be affected by this charm.

-Cannot be tamed.

-Women won’t be able to draw themselves out of the trance that the Kelpie puts them in, on their own.

 

 

 

Locusta

Physiology

The large and formidable Locusta bears the resemblance of a behemoth sized lobster with two antenna protruding out from the top of its head, and a strong and grotesque shell that is usually covered in poisonous bacterias from the depths of the sea. Aside from this, the Locusta also holds spiny arms that can easily tear apart whatever it might encounter in conflict - as well as a powerful jaw that can shatter turtle shells and crush through plate.

 

 

Habitat

This creature resides in caverns or holes of an ocean, or large lake’s, farthest depths - swimming to the surface in order to soak up sunlight.

 

 

Behavior

The Locusta is said to rival most aquatic beasts of the sea - as it burrows into the grounds near its habitat and ambushes unsuspecting sea life that passes by; due to its bad sight. Though, just because it is a stealthy predator doesn’t make it weak. In fact, the Locusta is still able to hold its own against those it faces -

 

 

Abilities

  • The Locusta has immense strength and daunting size
  • Uses its antennae to navigate around terrain and areas, since its sight isn’t too reliable.
  • Aquatic.

 

 

 

Redlines

-Once its antenni are badly damaged or cut off, the Locusta will go into a blind rage - attacking wildly around it.

-Locusta don’t have good sight.

-Are slow out of waters.

-The bacteria on the creature’s back is totally up to the ET to decide what it will afflict people with.

-Are not tameable.

 

 

 

 

Thanhic Slugs

Physiology


Thanhic Slugs are distinctively one of the most interesting and dangerous varieties of slugs that can be found on the realm of Almaris. Rarely found in marine areas, such as oceans, lakes, rivers and swamps, they have been seen to be shelled gastropods, a slug with a shell and in this case to be jagged with completely pitch black of streaks of ebony running along the grooves of their shells and in spots on their skin and are known to be very toxic to predators and descendants.,They are capable of retracting their entire bodies into shells for protection similar to turtles or tortoises .

A curiosity is that their eyestalks and their eyes are capable of stretching and bending to abnormal lengths, serving as a freakish method in how they hunt or combat their unfortunate prey or opponent. Furthermore, all Thanhic slugs are hermaphrodites, both male and female, and are usually found to be lone creatures which is a fortunate light given their dangerous nature.

Their secretions that are given off in gaping pores of their flesh are not only incredibly potent due to its neurotoxins within, but will be certain to cause a swift and painful death to anyone attempting to invest or cook the slug. Furthermore the neurotoxins have an atrocious shelf life and cannot be successfully harvested with any known means.

 

 

Behavior
 

Strictly speaking, Thanhic Slugs are best to be avoided when they are found by a stroke of luck, or incredible misfortune,  as they are without a doubt one of the most dangerous,  and aggressive, and territorial t species of slugs and would usually become hostile even go on the offensive with the intent on consuming and dominating its perceived territorial spaces. Usually growing to be quite large and ranging to the size of a horse, it would not be a good idea to linger in the small but toxic nests which signify the homing grounds for these Slugs.
 

 

 

Abilities

 

Thanhic Slugs are capable of wielding their abnormal eye-stalks to their advantage, slithering and clambering to their entire body length in distance to have an advantageous field of vision.

They are able to spurt out their corrosive, neurotoxin defense in near ranges. Being of extreme threat to exposed flesh and prolonged exposure will also damaging weapons and disabling armour. Similarly to Thanhic poisoning .

 

 

Redlines

 

-These creatures can be used in player events.

-Thanhic Slugs cannot be used to attack other nations or communities.

-These cannot be tamed under any circumstances.

-Thanhic Slug items cannot be signed by ST.

-Thanhic Slug neurotoxins cannot be harvested, and are always inert when in player hands. -They may be harvested as an inert, mundane relic from a successful killing of a Thanhic Slug.
