Mobini

**Mobini** are the name of the native fauna inhabiting the planet Mobius, analogous to the animals of earth but often existing in different, more fantastical forms.

## Mundane Mobini

### Mammals

* **Malloura** - Medium-sized ungulates that resemble woolly goats with two pairs of horns, small ears, and long, slim tails ending in tufts. Their thick, soft coats make for excellent wool, and they are also raised for both their meat and for their milk.

### Avians

* **Flicky** - 'Flicky' is actually a word that encompasses all avian Mobini.

## Elemental Mobini

Unlike the mundane Mobini, Elemental Mobini tend to be exclusively wild creatures, but those who have control over the Chaos Force in some way have means of forming a special bond with these creatures; these individuals are known as Summoners, and the Mobini under their ownership are known as Summons.

On rare occasions, these Mobini have been domesticated in some form.

### Any Alignment

* **Dragon** - A very rare type of Summon with strong, offensive capabilities, Dragons are unpredictable and notorious for being very difficult to tame. Dragons also have an extreme amount of diversity to them, even higher than that of the Imps. The elderly galehog known as Gunnar Prendergast is famed for being a 'Master of Dragons'.
* **Imp** - A common type of Summon that is decently well-rounded in its capabilities, Imps are a highly diverse species characterized by overall hardiness, and are (generally) easy to tame, making them a good "starter Summon".
* **Koskerafi** - An uncommon type of Summon, resembling a petite, non-Mobian deer with crystalline antlers and hooves, and more crystals on its back. The horns of each Elemental subspecies are based on different types of magic crystals, like Algidite and Solasite.

### Single Alignment

Summons that are tied to a single, specific Element. Rarely, different subspecies of Single-Elemental Summons (such as the Stormy Pilvegern) may in fact be Dual-Elemental Summons, but they are typically considered aberrations, often thought to be the result of experimentation, rather than nature taking course.

One of the most well-known examples of such experiments are the attempts to breed Imps of different elemental Alignments to produce offspring that have the combination Element of their parents' base Element (I.E the theoretical offspring of a Flame and Thunder Imp being able to wield Plasma, the Elemental Combination of Fire and Electricity). So far, there has been no success.

#### Fire Summons

Summons that are aligned exclusively with Fire.

* **Pyrewing** - An uncommon type of Summon that specializes in long-ranged combat and utility, Pyrewings are fickle and intelligent, and somewhat difficult to tame, making them (usually) nonviable as a domesticated pet. However, Summoners who can successfully bond with a Pyrewing will find them to be fiercely loyal.
* **Kleindrake** - A common type of Summon that specializes in long-range, artillery-style combat. Kleindrakes are amiable and fairly easy to tame, and considered a good "starter Summon". Particularly small species exist in the form of exotic pets.

#### Ice Summons

Summons that are aligned exclusively with Ice.

* **Eishund** -
* **Tizheruk** - An uncommon type of Summon that specializes in long-range, artillery-style combat with some melee options, the Tizheruk is sometimes considered to be the ice-based counterpart of the Kleindrake, due to a similar combat style. However, Tizheruks are known for being flighty and somewhat unpredictable, making them difficult to tame; patience (and a young specimen) is needed for these creatures.
* **Lagorosta** - A common type of Summon that specializes in support-base utility. Lagorosta are small, rabbit-like mammals with large foreclaws for digging through the snow and fairly long, thick tails that act as a rudder for propelling themselves forward as they dig. Being lapine in form, their hind legs are also quite powerful, and they are very speedy, not even hindered by deep, loose snow. They are shy herbivores always on the lookout for danger, making them excellent scouts for Summoners.

#### Water Summons

Summons that are aligned exclusively with Water.

* **Fluminato** - An uncommon type of Summon that specializes in support-based utility. It is based on a small cat; specifically, the kodkod.
* **Tiebúron** - A common type of Summon that specializes in swift, melee-range combat, Tiebúrons are voracious eaters, and become aggressive when hungry, making them difficult to tame and keep. Summoners who tame Tiebúrons are advised to keep them well-fed to avoid complications; on the upside, they can eat pretty much anything, and aren't picky either. However, they make terrible domestic pets.
* **Umikuji** - A common type of Summon that specializes in long-ranged combat.

#### Electric Summons

Summons that are aligned exclusively with Electricity.

* **Denkitachi** - A common type of Summon that specializes in swift, melee-range combat with some long-range combat, the Denkitachi is mischievous and curious, and requires patience to be properly tamed.

* **Raiju** - A rare type of Summon that specializes in long-ranged combat.
* **Shevigian** - An uncommon type of Summon that resembles a non-Mobian horse with a more feline-like face, bearing a pair of ornate antlers upon its head and a long, wild mane of hair that surrounds its neck and back, as well as a pair of long, flowing whiskers. Shevigian are prideful and intelligent, and are rather difficult to tame; it is said they'll only bond with good-hearted people. They specialize in close-range combat with some long-range skills, and also make fantastic mounts due to their high speed. They are based on the *quilin* or *kirin* of Chinese mythology, and are especially inspired by the Elder Dragon *Kirin* from the *Monster Hunter* series.

### Dual-Elemental Alignment

#### Primary Alignment: Wind

* **Stormy Pilvegern** - A rare subspecies of Pilvegern that bears the secondary Element of Electricity. No one really knows how they came about; the most widely accepted guess is they were the result of crossbreeding between Denkitachi and Nimbus Pilvegi, but this has not yet been confirmed.
