Alright, let’s get to work. Solei, I apologize in advance for the lack of sheets; I’m making a lot of these things. I’m trying to keep them organized, though. Acter expends his two GE to create multiple ecosystems:(Note: anything that flies goes in Atmospheric, and can be found basically everywhere.)
Tross: Relatively large grazing beasts, with short fur (akin to a dog’s), boar-like heads, and legs like an elephant’s (though somewhat shorter). Slow, their meat is good to eat, and their hides make good leather, but are very capable of crushing attackers with their weight.
Upside-down tree: similar in appearance to an inverted palm tree; the thick, waxy leaves at the bottom collect water and some sunlight while the roots at the top catch nutrients from the clouds above, including encroaching birds. Carnivorous, pulls leaves to the trunk at night.
Acanalius: Similar in appearance to an acacia tree; in spring, they bloom with beautiful flowers, afterward bearing tasty fruit.
Tirk: Basically just a lizard rabbit that can climb trees. Eat acanalius fruits.
Ssaert: Akin to hyenas, if they were half again as large and a bit more intelligent. Pack hunters.
Reaver: A large reptilian beast with nasty claws and a very powerful jaw. Apex predator of the plains.
Humans: They're humans. Gilgama requested them.
Sheltbush: A bush that produces small, sweet, purple-red berries.
Terk: Relatives of the tirk; still lizard-rabbits, but they burrow now instead of climb trees. They eat sheltberries.
Canopies: The dominant trees of the area; similar in appearance to an oak tree, but each one can work akin to a neuron in a brain if their branches touch, resulting in semi-intelligent groves and some forests that might develop sapience by themselves if they were fully connected. Able to direct their own growth. When two large groves approach each other, may sometimes draw branches back and refuse linking. Have acorn-like nuts.
Treen: Semi-flighted birds that can really only jump from one canopy to another; males look like cardinals, females look like bluejays. Eat canopy nuts, and sing nicely.
Sarken: Brown snakes that lurk among canopy branches to catch and eat treen. Ambush predators.
Tarsetar: Fox-like creatures with green-and-brown fur that eat the terks. They have long front claws for digging up terk burrows.
Howlers: Bear-sized, wolf-like apex predators of the temperate forests. Their roars are loud enough to deafen most creatures (but not themselves), which is used to let them sneak up on their prey later.
Leafless: They’re giant saguaro cacti. They grow fleshy pink fruits and store water inside them.
Abbadons: Small (only slightly larger than a typical housecat) primates somewhere between a mammal and a reptile, their stomachs being scaled while their backs are covered in a short, off-white-in-the-direction-of-beige fur that protects them from the sun and helps them blend in. Their hands are disproportionally broad, allowing them to burrow quite effectively. They exit their burrows at night to gather leafless’ fruits and small prey alike.
Tikatili: They look like a cross between a burrowing owl, and woodpecker, and a duck, and for good reason; they carve out holes in the leaflesses with their long beaks, floating on the watery floor during the day, coming out at night to hunt for insects.
Rattlers: Rattlesnakes, but twice as big. There’s not many of them, but they’re the apex predators of the deserts, and very effective ambush predators. They tend to cover themselves in sand, ready to strike at any encroaching prey. Beware their venomous bite.
There are no “atmospheric” islands; these creatures rather live in the skies between islands.
Skyweed, a plant that uses a system of bouey-esque airsacs to stay airborne; they get larger as you go up, orienting the plant. Incidentally, this means the plant grows downward. Relatively small.
Skycoral: Growing out away from the gravity wells of the islands, these massive lifeforms feed off of sunlight and whatever detritus wanders into their clutches. They use air-magic to stay aloft in massive clusters. Floating islands far from the rest of existence. Note that within these islands clusters of condensed air-magic and dead corral, form into levipearls, condensed nodes of magical power. They also exist as a spread out dust, the primal form that exists before they grow into a cluster.
Floatcrab: A small crustacean that eats skyweed/skycoral and gets around using a mini biological turbo jet engine.
Aerowhale: a massive manta like creature, with a gaping maw and peaceful demeanor. They can grow a mile wide. They consume the primordial dust from skycoral, along with anything else that gets into their mouths.
Skyraptor: A race of small, pack hunting raptors, with leathery wings, and similar biology to pterodactyls. They use dive bombing tactics to hunt floatcrabs and aerowhales, a single aerowhale can feed a pack of these guys for months.
Roc wyrm: A massive flying avian serpent, a hybrid of bird and snake, but large enough to devour an entire cluster of skycoral with a single bite, and thin entire herds of aerowhales in a single day. They can even grow large enough to threaten planetoids. Their flight uses air magic, and they naturally have lightning control; the largest living Wyrm will always have an eternal storm surrounding them. They can live forever if not specifically killed, but only give birth once a decade at the fastest.
Sendirin: Birdmen, essentially. About 4 feet tall, and bipedal with wings on their backs. Their coloration runs all over the spectrum of possible colors, though any individual one will only have two "primary" colors (with slight variation between feathers) that form the patterns used to identify them.
There are generic insects around, as well as generic grass and generic mice that are all basically just omnipresent wherever there’s life.
Additionally:
Golems: These beings are a naturally occurring anomaly, small gem-like spheres that turn the materials around them into a humanoid body. Formed over hundreds of years, these spheres are rare, concentrated orbs of magical energy. These beings feed on life energy, heat, whatever they can gather from their surroundings, and possess abilities based on the material they are made of. Requested by Meta, and able to be found anywhere rarely.
[Everything below this is incomplete. This marker will move down as I write up more ecosystems. Please don’t do the next turn until this marker has been removed. I would like to apologize for being busy.]
Oceanic “islands” are more akin to giant bubbles of water.
There are no “cavernous” islands; rather, larger islands have caves, and some islands are barren or mountainous aboveground.
Sulfuric islands tend to invoke thoughts of burning hell’s in those that see them.
