Index of Species

Here's the index of all the species so far appearing in the Realms, categorized by realm and in alphabetical order within that. Should a type of creature exist in more than one realm, it will be listed under the realm in which naturally occurs.
Given that no creatures exist in the Human Realm that are particularly out of the ordinary, that realm has been excluded from the index.

-If you create a new species, PM a description of that species to me (Ambrosia) along with the name of the charrie you created of that new species, which realm that species naturally occurs in/where the charrie resides (or in the case that they occur more often in another Realm, just specify that that's so) and a link to their bio.
If you create a member of a species for which there is no example charrie listed, PM me the charrie's name and the URL of their bio. Note that the charrie must already be approved.
Thank you.-

Sacred Realm:

Ermyn- An ermyn is one who has a pale color tone and is able to heal and communicate with ermines. They are generally family-less and very calm. Generally short and skinny. There is only one ermyn at any given time.
Varieties: Green, blue, lavender, cream, orange, or light red.
Example: Dawn, created by Ashy;

Gryphon- Gryphons are Sacred Realm inhabitants adhering to the classic design of having the head, front legs, torso and wings of a bird (typically a bird of prey) and the second half of the creature as a feline, and being roughly the size of a large-ish big cat. They, aside from their relatives the hippo- and dracogryphs, fall into two categories; the more civilized variety, which are bipedal and tend to live in groups resembling tribes in social structure (and use for pointy things like spears, if particularly ornate ones). Their intelligence is also quite notable. On the other hand, you have the more animalistic variety, which while quite intelligent themselves seem to prefer their quadrupedal state. Some races use these gryphons as mounts.
Some gryphons have been known to have the forelegs characteristic of their feline half, and others have been known to have hind legs ending in talons rather than paws.
Varieties: Tribal and animalistic.
Example: None! Go make some Gryphons.

Hippogryph- Similar to the quadrupedal grypons, simply half-horse to the gryphon's half-feline nature, and also inhabiting the Sacred Realm.
Example: None! Go make some Hippogryphs.

Noeria- Humanized owl-like creatures, with slightly more hawklike faces, featherlike fingers, and taloned feet with two talons in front and one in back. The entire race, due to some unknown eye condition, wears glasses. Favorable to them are small circular-lensed ones, worn over their predominantly golden eyes. As they grow older, they develop bushy "eyebrows". (These are more prominent in females.) They have retained all other feature of their Human Realm conterparts, including large tail, though they're mostly flightless. As far as society goes, they have their own quaint little forest-dwelling villages, the entirety of which they build in the trees. They're mostly active from evening to early night and from morning untill two or three or so, at which point they, for the most part, nap.
Varieties: Whites, Greys, Browns, and mixes of those colors.
Example: None! Go make some Noeriae.

Phoenix- Phoenixes or Firebirds are immensely rare avian beings resembling hawks or cranes that reside in the Sacred Realm. The former tend to have bright, firey colors with greys and blacks occasionally, while the latter have predominantly pale almost icy tones (though true birds of ice are another species entirely) with pastel accents. The hawk-like variety have the ability to envelop themselves in flame, and a select (powerful) few can make themselves composed entirely of flame for a period of time. The crane-like variety, on the other hand, lacks these abilities, but are telepathic. They are also said to be extemely good luck.
Varieties: Hawk-Phoenix, Crane-Phoenix
Example: Auro, created by Ambrosia;

Volucris- Humanoid bird type creatures. They stand roughly about the same height as the average human, if not slightly taller, and can be of any variety fitting a species of bird occupying the human realm, though birds that are historically regarded as having an eye for things that shine, such as magpies and corvids (crows, ravens, etc.) are prevalent, with the next species after those being birds of prey. Very few songbird species remain, though it's not unheard of for a few to pop up every once and a while. Wings are attached to arms, which end in talons, much in the way of a normal bird's legs (save for the fact that normal birds' legs are thin, tiny things. This is not the case here.) Hand structure is human in nature, while foot structure is decidedly avian. These creatures retain tailfeathers; they are capable of flight, after all.
Varieties: All species of bird present in Human Realm.
Example: None! Go create some Volucri.

Waif- A waif is a creature with generally strange and varied features. They are known to have wings, antenae, tails, gills, fins, and much more. Waifs generally have solid colour skin, changing from their variety. Their big eyes are also a solid colour. Waifs eventually reach an age where they learn to hover inches above the ground and get strange markings on their faces and bodies, varying in shape an colour.
Varieties: Light, shadow, water, earth, air, fire.
Example: Anahira, created by Venom;

Twilight Realm:

Badgre- A badgre is one who trains and heals badgers. They usually prefer to keep to themselves and like all the places that badgers like, such as wooded forests. A badgre's hair and sometimes even their skin color and eyes will change depending on the color of their badger.
Varieties: The most common variety is the brown and white badger, but the varieties include colors ranging from black to dark purple.
Example: Leam Scour, created by Shadow;

Dracogryphs- They're Gryphons- just half-bird half-dragon instead of feline. They follow the same mentality as the animalistic Gryphons- quite intelligent, but quadrupedal. Mind you, they inhabit the Twilight Realm instead and are indifferent-bordering-on-malignance as well as being perfectly capable of hunting for themselves but prefer scavenging for their food. Their coloring tends to be any of the darker colored birds for their avian half, and dark greys, blacks, and purples for their draconic half. In addition to that, sometimes larger, more fearsome varieties of these creatures pop up... And when they do, they're inevitably all sorts of nasty and exiled from the small pack-type structure that these creatures live in.
Varieties: Dracogryph and Dire Dracogryph.
Example: None! Go make some Dracogryphs.

Greater Dragon- A dragon is generally a four-legged, winged reptilian creature... Or a serpentine one without wings, and with the horns of a deer and a mane and all that. But you already know what a traditional dragon is, and if you didn't, there ya go. As far as they exist in the Realms, they predominantly lean towards the former (first) description and, exist in the Twilight Realm, and are darker in color; very few varieties, which are more like the latter description, exist in the Sacred Realm, and are of course lighter in color and spirit and are also notably smaller, thus being, over all, lighter. (Not that they're small or anything. The smallest varieties are still huge by any standard.) The entire species as a whole is rather rare, but generally is quite proficient when it comes to magical things.
Varieties: Twilit- Largest, strongest, rarest (there's only one at any given time); Sacred- Slightly smaller than Twilit, only 10 or so exist at any given time; Elemental- Dragons of the various elements, namely earth, water, air, and fire, also the most abundant of the major dragon types; All other varieties are smaller, more abundant versions of the major types and are called "Minor Such-and-Such Major Type", not to be confused with Lesser Dragons which are an entirely different species.
Example: Ambrosia, created by Ambrosia;

Lymric- Lymrics are creatures who are very sensitive emotionally. They are very loyal and curious creatures, but you definitely have to be cautious around them.
Varieties: Earth, gothic, seasonal, angelic, or neutral.
Example: Zyra, created by Ashy;

Promontorii- Bulky wolves in a variety of colors, corresponding with different elements, that have crystal-spikes running down their back to the base of their tail, which is lionlike, with a tuft of crystals on the end. They wear metal rings on their ankles, the color of which differs with variety, much like their claws. They are somewhat intelligent, though not in civilized sense; They can comunicate with their own and other canids can communicate with them, and they form packs. They're fairly noble, and live in the environs their varieties suggest within the Twilight Realm.
Varieties: Stone (brown with brownish-orange crystals, green rings/claws), Ice (blue-grey with ice blue crystals, gold rings/claws), Fire (reddish-brown with firey orange crystals, blue rings/claws), Withergrass (grey-green with pale fire-orange crystals, red-bronze rings/claws), Shade (dark-blue-tinged-grey with dark-rust-red crystals, gold rings/claws), Pale (very light gray with pale greyish-red crystals, gold rings/claws), Shadebrush (brownish-grey with lime green crystals, bronze rings/claws), Lightfire (tan-grey with slightly lightish red crystals, slightly greyed blue rings/claws)
Example: None! Go make some Promontoriae.

Redimius- Blackish-greyish-brown-tinged wolf-like creatures, inhabiting the Twilight Realm, that have white, spikey lionlike manes, long ears, and circular markings on their backs, the backs of their "elbows", their "knees", stripes in the middle of their tails, one each on the backs of their ears, and on their foreheads. The color of their markings varies along with their variety. They also have a fondness for wearing large dull-goldish circular pendants around their necks and thick rings of the same color on their ankles, as well as at the base of their tail, which has a bit more of the white mane-fur on top. They also have silver claws and their eyes are a solid color, the same as their markings.
They are rather intelligent, and speak in their own language, which most other canids (and those who make an effort) can understand. Naturally they live in packs, but other races will occasionally use them as mounts.
Varieties: Blue, Magenta-tinged Red (Red), and Brown-tinged Orange (Orange).
Example: None! Go make some Redimiae.

Shadow Lurker- A shadow lurker can vary from many different looks and species, from the most simple to the most complicated. A shadow lurker can thus have any appearance, but they are all pale and dark eyed because of their lack of sun. There are different stages of Shadow lurker, the first a Shade lurker, inwhich you can go into the sun in comfort to awhile and only are just taking to the shadows, a Night lurker, inwhich you basically become nocternal and just come out at night, avoiding the sun all together (most avoid this path), and the plain Shadow lurker that just sticks to Shadows day or night.
Varieties: Shade, Shadow and Night.
Example: L, created by Venom;

Swyrd- Swyrd's are the protectors of the realms. They originate from both regions, though they are harsher in the Twilight Realm then the Sacred Realm. They are quick with the sword and daggers, and get their way by force most of the time by force if someone will not comply. Swyrds usually have large egos and fast acting tempers by nature. They are extremely intelligent and report to none other than the Realm leaders themselves.
