Tonnikala

Tonnikala is a catch all term for flying sea-creatures made by Azura, be it mutated/blessed sea creatures or custom made oceanic themed sky-life. 
== Abilities ==
All Tonnikala have skeletons that are permeated with Luft-Stone that allow them to defy gravity. When one dies its body may eventually sink/be blown down to Galbar, where mortals might scavenge their remains for their magical bones for use in construction, magic or alchemy. 
Tonnikala’s flying power is sourced from the Blue, and if they spend too much time outside it this power gradually weakens. This stops them competing with Galbar’s creatures too hard, and means that summoned Tonnikala must eventually either return to the Blue or have their flying capabilities significantly diminished.
All Tonnikala know the Verse, and can be communicated with using it. The intelligent can be conversed with while the animalistic can be controlled if a singer know the right songs and even summoned if they have enough magical power. 
== Species ==
Sky Slugs represent a set of species which form the basis of the Blue's ecosystem. Among them are Phase Motes, which drink the phantom-rivers from Fengshui Fuyou and can be consumed for accessible water, Loft Leaves, which photosynthesise, and Grazer Drakes, which are scavengers of decomposing plant matter from the World Tree.
Sky Serpents are among the largest of the Tonnikala, and are apex predators in the Blue.
Flying Tuna are a relatively mundane species, which eat sky slugs and are eaten by many other Tonnikala.
Niseag are long-necked fish hunters. Their armour and reach make them good for summoning.
Manotogs are elephant-sized tusked herbivores. They are sustained by the more abundant vegetation which was able to grow when a proper connection between Galbar and the Blue was established, allowing rain to enter the Blue.
Hammer-Drakes live in sky temples or mountain peaks and are ambush and pack hunters. Sufficiently skilled Verse singers can use them as effective all-terrain mounts.
Scrappers are rat-sized carrion eaters.
