Bigast Desert

The Bigast Desert is a large desert in Dornae. It is the biggest desert on Complanet and is home to a wide variety of Complien life.
==Geography==
Uniquely among deserts, the Bigast Desert's surface layers are composed of up to 90% blacjoc. This dark substance absorbs a massive amount of sunlight, rendering the Desert one of the hottest regions on the planet. Blacjoc concentration defines the borders of the Bigast Desert.
Most of the northern Bigast Desert is sandy erg. To the south are arid shrublands and eroded badlands, while the east gives way to ordinary silica sand desert.
Several meters beneath the blacjoc-infused surface is a layer of densely-packed magitite deposits. More magitite can be found here than anywhere else in the world, averaging 11.3 kg of magitite per cubic meter. Also found within this layer are occasional pockets of pure shadow ooze.
The Yzyrq Tops are a mountain range located within the Bigast Desert, primarily in Qedal.
At the southern and southeastern borders of the Bigast Desert are the Lomergian Mountains, which block incoming humidity from Colloidus and its neighboring waters.
==Wildlife==
The Bigast Desert's native flora and fauna is built for survival in the harsh desert, where extreme temperatures and resource scarcity make life difficult. The relatively few ecological niches available have forced evolution to get creative - combined with the mutagenic effects of subterranean magitite, this means the Bigast Desert has some of the most bizarre Complien species around.
Alcubears, Rubburns, and Pyrisians can be found rolling across the sand dunes. Spearpions and Schlugenkovs live buried beneath the dust, while Mongrools tunnel even further underground. Cactus Mindrakes and Spajetidrakes inhabit the rare riverbanks, idly soaking up light and moisture. They are sometimes joined by river-dwelling Blotogas and Sidine. To the south are badlands, where the Kohirs, Ferrumets, Übernovas, and Smurlogs fight for sustenance.
Native plants include bloodroot and yucka, as well as many species of chaparral shrubs and grasses.
The Yzyrq Tops contains its own unique set of Compliens, such as Gasilisk and Abrod. These Compliens rarely venture far from the Yzyrq mountains and foothills.
The Solupirus family of Compliens lives in the Bigast Desert, comprising Solupire, Solarandos, Soudroz, and Soluria. The Solupirus are nomadic Complinoids that roam the Desert, ranching Toaloas and hunting for other Complinoids to kill and devour.
