Mythe de l'arrivée de la Faune sur Atys

Nom	Type	Description
Arana	Herbivore	The arana is a master of disguise. Its body and its two pairs of jointed limbs evolved to resemble a tree stump to the extent of growing tufts of hair resembling grass and harboring mushrooms and moss on its back. Its carapace and legs are protected by sharp spine-like excrescences to deter predators. It has small eyes on fleshy stems sprouting from the top of the head, and powerful lower tusk-like mandibles with which it will attack if threatened.
Arma	Herbivore	A massive pachyderm characterized by a mossy carapace equipped with spiny outgrowths. Its thick skin and impressive array of defensive horns on its head make it a difficult prey for even the keenest carnivore.
Bawaab	Herbivore	Of the same family as the lumper, the bawaab is characterized by its green scaly skin and a flat 'hammer head' with an eye at each extremity. The bawaab has pillar-like legs, large feet and moves at a surprisingly fair speed.
Bodoc	Herbivore	A bulky, thick-skinned plant feeder with tiny eyes and two massive horns protruding from the sides of the head.
Bolobi	Herbivore	This spherical quadruped has large bulbous protruding eyes set wide apart giving it a field of vision of 270°. Its neckless head is sunk into its body which is covered in a deep fur coat making it resemble a ball of fluff! Using its powerful trunk, the bolobi can be seen drawing up berries, nuts and sap, which it ferments in its belly to produce a lethal gas.
Capryni	Herbivore	A deer-like ruminant with a goatee beard distinguished by its thick skin laid on like rhinoceros hide. A shy creature, its tough single antler is used more to attract a mate than to fend off predators, though will deliver a formidable hind kick when menaced.
Clopper	Crustacean	This brownish crustacean feeds on carrion and sometimes mortally wounded animals. The clopper gets its name from the sound it makes with its well developed pincers on approaching its wounded prey.
Cray	Crustacean	This brightly colored crustacean has four identical powerful limbs, a set of feelers situated about its mouth, and eyes set on stalks giving it an all round vision.
Cuttler	Carnivore	This grim looking hunter has a spiny back with blade-like horns running down the length of its spine and spurs on its tibias. Its long tapering hooves allow it to dig into the ground to gain a good grip to break into a very rapid sprint at any moment.
Frippo	Omnivore	This small common omnivore, liken to the yubo in size, has powerful front legs supporting a vigorous body, heavy head with a powerful muzzle. Its thick hide has allowed it to evolve into a tenacious and daring creature despite its relative slowness.
Gingo	Carnivore	A frenetic canine-like animal with a mane and strong shoulders that are higher than its hind quarters, powerful jaws and strong teeth. Gingos live in pacts of up to five individuals and feed on carrion left over by predators.
Gnoof	Herbivore	The gnoof is a gregarious herbivore characterized by a trunk which it uses to collect food, bring water to the mouth, for smelling, and for lifting.
Goari	Crustacean	A crustacean with four identical legs, two powerful pinchers, and characterized by a translucent sphere containing a watery substance which it dangles above its head.
Gubani	Herbivore	This timorous and gregarious herbivore has long powerful hind legs and gripping feet perfectly adapted for rapid movement. Its two 'winglets' on the crest of its back dote it with extra streamline allowing it to run very swiftly in leaps and bounds over difficult terrain.
Horncher	Crustacean	A crustacean with four identical legs, a pair of powerful pincers and stylelike appendages at the end of the abdomen. The horncher gets its name from the horn shell which its carapace resembles.
Igara	Avian	A bird of prey with a sharp rapacious beak and four wings with a wingspan of over 3 meters. Distinguished by its lethal barbed tail used for attack.
Izam	Avian	A winged scavenger with dappled skin allowing it to blend in with the foliage.
Javing	Javan	A bird of prey with indented wings and a fluttering flight. The eyeless javing bird hunts for food relying partly on its sense of smell, but most of all on echo-location.
Jugula	Carnivore	A disarming squat predator with protruding eyes and powerful hind legs for leaping. The skin on its back contains short, sharp, stocky-based spines which help deter larger predators.
Kiban	Récolteur	Grand arachnide omnivore et principalement blanc, le Kiban est doté d'un gros abdomen. Ce récolteur kitin collecte des ressources pour la colonie.
Kidinak	Soldat royal	Ce drone kitin s'accouple avec la reine et la protège. Sans trop s'éloigner de la reine, le kidinak attaquera les prédateurs à vue en projetant ses appendices en forme de houe pour entailler l'agresseur. Les pattes avant du kidinak sont modifiées de façon à former de petites tenailles lui permettant de couper et de porter la nourriture à sa bouche.
Kincher	Éclaireur	Le Kincher est connu comme étant l'éclaireur kitin, car il précède toujours d'autres kitins dans un territoire inconnu et a la capacité étrange de définir l'emplacement exact de matières premières précieuses. Il mange et analyse tout sur son chemin, choisissant et marquant les meilleures matières premières pour ses cousins. Le Kincher attaquera tout ce qui approchera de ses provisions préférées. Ses tentacules, carapace chitineuse et excroissances épineuses sont bonnes à prendre. Ce chasseur Kitin est reconnaissable à ses énormes mandibules, à son petit abdomen et à son excroissance dorsale.
Kinrey	Soldat royal	Ce soldat royal kitin est l'un des prédateurs les plus virulents d'Atys. C'est un géant grégaire vivant en communauté et protégeant la reine. Le kinrey asperge d'acide ses victimes, attaque et poursuit les homins ou les bêtes qui s'aventurent trop près du nid.
Kipee	Ouvrier	Ce placide Kitin, un géant terrestre, vit en troupeau et ronge l'écorce des arbres d'Atys toute la journée. Les pucetrons seuls portent la marque de leur troupeau sur leur flancs chitineux. Les autres Kitins traient le Kipee pour le suc riche qu'il produit, et les Homins les chassent pour leur carapace flexible et leur chair, malgré leur morsure douloureuse. Cet ouvrier Kitin est le seul véritable herbivore de la famille des Kitins. Ce grand arachnide paisible construit des nids et s'occupe des larves. On le voit souvent en groupe, passant toute la journée à dévorer des écorces à belles dents.
Kipesta	Éclaireur	Eclaireur kitin très coloré, doté de six ailes et d'un abdomen allongé, le Kipesta recherche de nouveaux territoires pour les migrateurs, afin d'installer d'autres nids. Il projette une puissante substance de pollen enflammé sur sa proie. Son venin est stocké et produit dans une poche qui se dégonfle à mesure que la substance s'écoule par sa trompe et s'enflamme au contact de l'air.
Kipucka	Ouvrier	Dangereux et hideux cousin du Kirosta, le Kipucka est une créature crasseuse issue des entrailles d'Atys et qui mange tout sur son chemin. Ouvrier migrateur qui crée de nouveaux nids, son gros abdomen lui permet de transporter des ressources et des larves vers un nouveau territoire. Au bout de sa queue, le Kipucka est doté d'un aiguillon mortel qu'il utilise pour tuer lors d'une attaque. Les chrysalides voraces qui réchappent à l'impact dévorent leur victime vivante en quelques secondes. Effrayant.
Kipucker	Soldat	Un kitin qui ressemble au kipucka, il peut être vu durant les invasions.
Kirosta	Soldat	Cet énorme soldat kitin reconnaissable à son long abdomen fuselé terrorise toute la faune vivant dans son entourage. Il injecte son venin, un des plus virulents sur Atys, dans sa proie grâce à l'épine qui se trouve à l'extrémité de son abdomen.
Kizarak	Royal	Le Kizarak est aussi beau qu'il est mortel. Ne pensez même pas jeter un coup d'oeil à ses pétales de plus près, cette effrayante beauté arachnide projette une soie gluante en direction de ses victimes pour les immobiliser, et les observe ensuite lutter tandis qu'il se régale d'avance du plat à venir.
Kizoar	Récolteur	Le Kizoar est un charognard prudent qui fuit au moindre danger grâce à de puissantes ailes, d'une envergure de 2 mètres, qui lui permettent de fuir rapidement. Il récolte des ressources pour la colonie. Il plane au-dessus d'une proie agonisante jusqu'à ce qu'il soit suffisamment hors de danger pour l'achever avec son dard mortel. On peut trouver cet ouvrier kitin partout sur Atys. Cette sale créature empoisonnante est devenue une des sources principales de matériau kitin, malgré la rancune... Aucun homin n'aime entendre bourdonner un Kizoar.
Lumper	Herbivore	A timorous herbivore that feeds mainly on cacti. The lumper has long legs allowing it to move at a surprisingly fair speed. It has large eyes set apart on fleshy stems sprouting from either side of the head and is especially characterized by its spiny back.
Madakam	Omnivore	Like the ploderos, the slow-moving madakam is a solid lump of a creature able to nonchalantly amble around grazing fearless of potential predators thanks to its massive horny head and thick hide. Its triangular head is armed with an impressive machete-like horn which the madakam will use to lethal effect if menaced.
Mektoub	Herbivore	A placid plant feeding pachyderm easily recognized by its long and powerful trunk which it uses to collect food, convey water to the mouth, for smelling, and for lifting. Like the gnoof, it has dexterous feet with large bulbous toes enabling it to radiate heat.
Messab	Herbivore	A shy, hoofed animal with a slender head, a long neck, a hump and long legs. The messab's partial blindness is compensated by its echo-location facility allowing it to navigate in the most difficult terrain littered with obstacles.
Najab	Carnivore	A large carnivorous amphibian with slimy skin. When threatened by other predators it will spit fermented algae at the aggressor and hop into the water to swim to safety.
Ocyx	Carnivore	The ocyx is immediately distinguishable by its exoskeleton which forms an impressive body defense. This predator is equipped with a powerful mussel characterized by two sharp canine teeth protruding from the lower mandible, and long claws.
Ploderos	Herbivore	A massive stocky pachyderm with small eyes and ears, thick and heavy body and stubby legs. The ploderos grazes all day long plodding steadily from one pasture ground to the next seemingly oblivious to the dangers around. Its thick red hairless hide and the hard horny protective cover of its head presents a formidable defense against preying carnivores.
Ragus	Omnivore	A canine-like creature with retractable claws, rasping tongue and five eyes which allow it to see in all kinds of light.
Raspal	Herbivore	The raspal is a hoofed mammal belonging to the same order as the capryni. It has a slender head, long neck and two winglets situated on the crest enhancing its stability and allowing it to work up to a fast gallop even over uneven terrain.
Rendor	Herbivore	A stocky hoofed mammal with a short thick neck and belonging to the same family as the capryni. It has a heavy front body and a hump on its back. Its large head is covered with a helmet-like leather carapace which constitutes a formidable ram for defense.
Shalah	Herbivore	A ruminant distinguished by a heavy shaggy coat and long tusks that sprout either side from its lower mandible. The tusks and the thick leather plates layered on its face constitute a tough defense.
Timari	Herbivore	A herbivorous creature with bandy legs and huge one meter high dorsal spines which act as a formidable defense in case of attack.
Torbak	Carnivore	An Atysian feline par excellence distinguished by its long saber-like horn, three dorsal spines and a pointed bony tail.
Tyrancha	Carnivore	A terrifying carnivore, the Tyrancha has two pairs of identical legs attached to an elongated, larva-like body culminating in a large round orifice with irregular lacerating teeth.
Varinx	Carnivore	A carnivorous desert feline with a fire resistant hide capable of blending into the desert hues and the shadows of the Prime Roots. The varinx prowls in groups of 2 or 3 around fire holes in the Burning Desert where it will save homins from fire and then eat them alive.
Vorax	Carnivore	A three and a half meter long lizard-like predator with a spiny back, terrifying red eyes and razor-sharp teeth. A fast, cunning and ferocious hunter which can immobilize its prey with a terrifying roar.
Wombaï	Herbivore	Of the same family as the bolobi, the wombaï is doted with large eyes for an all round vision and a long proboscis which it uses to draw up seeds, insects and nuts from both ground and bush. The wombaï, with its trunk and its round neckless head protruding from its spherical body, resembles a hairy pear on legs!
Yber	Avian	A two meter tall bird with a wingspan of up to four meters. A gracious cousin of the izam, flies very quickly close to the ground in search of smaller prey. Characterized by its powerful beak and the extra two pairs of diaphanous wings.
Yelk	Omnivore	A great sluggish lump of a scavenger easily recognized by its pointed snout and the highly prized mushrooms growing on its back. These poisonous mushrooms act as a formidable deterrent to any hungry predator.
Yetin	Omnivore	The yetin is a hoofed omnivore with powerful hind legs for very rapid movement, a well developed thorax and a large heavy head. Its violet body is tinged with a ruddy coat of coarse bristly hairs.
Yubo	Omnivore	A small, fairly slow moving dog-like omnivore originally bred by Matis manipulators to provide company and entertainment to homins, as well as a source of nourishment.
Zerx	Omnivore	A omnivorous creature feeding especially on berries and nuts which it stores in its pouch-like gullet. Has a small round tail, stiff hairs on its back, and eyes set at 180° apart on fleshy stems sprouting from the sides of its head.
