My Ideas (exlcuding Planatas)

Ah. ^.^ Ok then

Minor Race:
*Food Chain compared to humans. As in, do they eat Humans, are they equals, or are they prey

Simacun

Average Size: 1 Inch or 83'
Food Chain*: Prey (small variety) ; Pred (large variety)
Life Span off Felarya: 250 Years

A small specie, they look similar to humans, but with a few key differences. They have beetle wings and shells on their back, and small bumps on their forehead. Also, the upper third of their fingers are actually thick (proportionately to their bodies) claws with many little nerve endings all along the surface, allowing them to be used as fingertips, albeit a little clumsily, as the claws have no give. The shells widely vary in colour and design. Their teeth are sharp fangs used for tearing, although in a world like Felarya, only the small ones use them for this. Their eyes do not have a wide variety of colours, all restricted to shades of red and green. Also, those noses are small in proportion, since it is a vestigial organ. It appears that the bumps on their heads allow them to smell, leading to a theory that the bumps, after millions of years, may become antennae. There are males for this specie, but the males are often twice the size of the females in the smaller variety, and 20 feet taller than the females in the larger variety. The males also only make up a total of 1% of the population, and that is when they have an unusual number of males born. They breed like humans do, and as such, have the same reproductive organs. Simacun excrete an odd oil in self defence that acts like a mild hallucinogen if the fumes are inhaled by any non-insectoid. This oil also protects them from adhesives. They get along well with Slug Girls, and the smaller ones will often help Slug Girls with hunting by getting stuck in the slime. A human who comes along then helps them, either out of kindness or out of hunger, and the Simacun will then excrete the oil and slide away right as the human makes a grab. Their hand then sticks to the slime, effectively trapping them there until a pred comes along and scoops them up. Simacun, like any other anthro, have hair on their heads. The hair always matches the main colour of their shells, allowing for unique colours such as lime green or crimson red hair. There have even been reports of multi-hued hair, in the case of ones with shells that have no predominant colour. They are capable of speaking any human language, but also have their own language, which is a series of clicks. If one hears loud clicks, they may be actually hearing a large Simacun deciding whether to play with them first or just to grab and swallow. In order to prevent confusion and possibly deaths, people call the large Simacun, Limacun. This way, when somebody says there is a group of Simacun a bit away, a person will know whether that means free food or to run like hell. Simacun don't digest very fast in a human's stomach, allowing said humans to understand why Nagas, Harpies, Faeries, practically every pred specie prefers to swallow their prey whole instead of chewing. A well known Simacun and Limacun duo would be Belle the Limacun and Fen the Simacun.

Rapaqua

Size: 12' (Inflated)
Threat: Minimal
Location: Floating Field

A balloon like creature, it is spherical, grey, and has four, long, spindly legs. It remains inflated for most of the time, and is known to suck up people into its body. However, you want this. This creature has no digestive tract and is also indigestible. As such, your best bet is to hide in one of these if you need to go through a predator-heavy zone. Nobody knows where they came from, and they do not reproduce. They also are impossible to kill. Only 100 exist in Felarya.

Mhh very original one Razz

Which idea?

Plant:

Demon Grass

A dark-purple grass that smells sickingly sweet, almost like a perfume that was made way too concentrated. The tips of the grass are a scarlet red, and contain a nutrient-rich sap. Just the sap from one blade of this grass, which is roughly two feet long, is enough to provide a giant naga with enough nutrients to allow them to function without eating for a week. They grow in hellishly hot places such as volcanoes and deserts.

What's the point of calling them "Demon Grass" if they aren't related with demons? Was it because it grows in hot places? Well, Acheron is in Hell, but it's an ice plane. I think that Hell being a place of searing heat is totally cliché and wrong. A great idea, only drawback is the name, which I think doesn't make any sense at all. I think it should be named after it's main characteristic: it gives ton of energy, the fact it grows in hot places is a detail.

True enough... Although the colors seem demonic to me. And it could be named that because of whatever dimension it came from. Hell, it might even be native to Hell.

It's a really good plant though. It seems a bit unnaturally strong though. The sap from a single blade of grass can sustain a giant naga for a week? It's only two feet long...

Hmm, the grass reminds me a bit of the "Senzu Bean" from DBZ.

Well, the name Demon Grass comes less from where it grows (although that is a factor) and more from its colours.

And it is a very rare grass. Besides, not many creatures can even REACH those hot places, anyways

Tsukumapara

Size: Varies
Threat: Varies
Location: Human Establishments ; Miragia Forest

They appear to be dolls and stuffed animals that are relatively old, at least centuries, or are brought into Miragia Forest for a few days. They may be voracious and deadly, or cute and cuddly. Huge and kind, or small and mean. It depends on the design of the doll, and how well it was treated in its life time. Surprisingly, the kinder ones may eat you, but you won't digest, being in a stomach of cloth instead. They just need the feeling of a full belly every now and then. The ones that weren't treated nicely, though, tend to have actual stomachs that you won't survive. You can tell if one has a cloth or real stomach by looking at their forehead. Ones with a real stomach have a swirl symbol on their foreheads. Ones with a cloth stomach, on the other hand, have two lines connected with a circle. It is said that the nice ones stomachs are a very comfy place to sleep in. And, as a note, the majority of them happen to have real stomachs. All Tsukumapara are able to master size magic if the doll itself reaches 500 years of age. Note that this includes both the time as a regular doll and the time as a Tsukumapara. Upon reaching the age of 500, a doll will automatically turn into a Tsukumapara, which is why any dolls or stuffed animals that have had a rough life are burned on their 400th birthday, to prevent a new pred from being born. However, as one can tell from the statement that the majority of them have real stomachs, well, it is quite obvious that they miss a few of them.

Wow quite an unusual creature here ! I admit I have a bit of trouble visualizing it ^^;

Tranqua Callicaw

Size: 650'
Threat: Minimal (High for Predators)
Location: Topazial Sea

A lovely sea serpent, it is pure white, and only one happens to exist. It has three long, flowing horns that resemble the Aurora Borealis, rainbow colours streaming from them. The horns reach half way down the body, and are quite ribbon like. The eyes are pitch black, and can see through any magical spell, fog, or grime. The teeth resemble white marble, and the tongue is a royal blue colour. The fangs on this serpent are hooked and very sharp. It has no arms or legs, and the tail ends in a split that is tinted blue. Its face is quite lovely and flawless, and this creature is said only to feed once every thousand years. When it does, it completely decimates the predator population, which helps keep it in check. The acids in its belly do not affect humans or Nekos, but once in, like with any predators belly, there is no way out.

I like these idea of creatures being a threat only for predators or cetain species but I feel it would be better if it was more subbtle somehow.
Like a given creature will attack a specific target not just because it's like that, but more for other logic reasons Smile

Well, it is still a work in progress, but I thought I might as well get an opinion on it to make sure that everybody likes the idea.

After all, there is only one of it, and that bio IS a little short...
