Nemaazoi

## Overview

The green world. Forests and plants are present at any inch of ground, and the species diversity is like nowhere else.

## Geography

### Jungles:

covering the majority of Nemaazoi, those warm and wet forests are considered the core of the wildlife. they are so large that they even have their own sub-biomes, and the number of species living in them is astonishing:

they are the main ones, stantard, on the surface, hosting the following creatures:

* **Chacirel**: six skeletal legs ended by flower-shaped scups feet, supporting an horizontal bright blue body. On an side it ends with a large jagged bird beak, on the other side with a Curves scorpion-like tail. they also have a pair of arms, and lot of feathers.
* **Slasher**: Large birds, they stand on their strong back legs. Even if they don't have wings, they have two long arms with large hands, and four very long mantis-like claws, to grab the leaves on trees or to fight predators. colorful feathers covers their body, and end up in rainbow feather fans at the tail, head and arms
* **Panoptemoros**: Cousins of the Slashers, they have a slightly different taxonomy, being on four legs, having only two claws, and four little wings allowing them to briefly glide. Their colors are also more vivid than their cousin's
* **Nitroraptors**: small carnivores, their body is covered in extremely bright feathers, doing colorful patterns. they hunt in packs, using their claws to kill preys. They can also, every few minutes, unleash a burst of energy allowing them to move at insane speed for a short time, not more than few seconds. They let a trail of energy in their path, and while charging the energy their feathers glows and sparkles
* **Xnartopflex**, some big social insects similar to hornets, except their wings are plated in spikes made to walk, and that they ave four articulated stingers that also serve as legs. they are the size of your hand and eat meat, so good luck
* **Tarnungraptors**: bipedal hunters, their long arms are barbed with large spikes, perfect to grab the preys. their head is horned with a frill, and from their articulations extend flexible round-edged spines. Mainly black & white, their colors don't really matter since they can change them to hide in their environment
* **Ayvannah**: small feathery dragons, they live in the trees in small groups.
* **Trappers**: a conical spiral shell, mounted on several extremely long legs. Those legs look like the nearby plants, vines or bamboos, to hide. they wait for a prey to be under them to catch it with their many teethy tongues that extend and grab the prey before bringing it to the mouth located under the shell, absolute hell of teeth that will surely kill you. Some of them uses the little tentacles that sprout from the shell to grab branched and mimic a tree, for better hiding
* **Xenophillink**: ground predators, they hunt nearly everything that's not hiding in the trees. Their bulky and strong body is covered in cactus spikes, that can be thrown to do ranges attacks.
* **Knexosaurus**: Massive sauropods, their body is covered in long spikes to defend themselves, even if their size already do the job pretty well. Pretty docile, because too big to really pay attention to other animals
* **Quezaltorn**: Flore Wyverns, they hunt nearly everything. Their magic allows them to fuze with plants, allowing them to not only travel through them, but also to temporarily copy their abilities.
* Giant centipedes, nearly 20m long, herbivore but poisonous
* leaves lizards that glide between the branches
* colorful beetles that disguise as flowers to attract birds and devour them
* the classic jungle fauna: monkeys, birds, insects, frogs, snakes

without forgetting the flora diversity, with his hundreds of tree species, flowers, vines, bushes, and some carnivorous one because without them it's not funny

But those jungles are so large that there is some sub-biomes in them, being the followings:

#### Cavern jungles:

Asia is a continent where jungles have fun geography, because sometimes gigantic caverns appear, like Hang Son Doong in Vietnam. this cave is so big that there are clouds and everything in it. What can be funnier that putting more angry monsters in it ? ANGRIER MONSTERS !! here is the list:

* **Molinyoclu**: Massive carnivores, they bury in the ground and use their tail mimicking a bush to attract herbivores and eat them
* some soft and gelatinous slugs or millipedes that disguise as plants, having leaves-likes appendages, and lotta tentacles under them. the long body hide in the "leaves" and when a prey come close, it get out and eat you.
* Some **Trappers** subspecies that evolved to walk on the ceiling, because they weren't dangerous enough
* a lot of flying things, flying between the various vines hanging
* a lot of glowing crap because it's pretty dark here

vines and roots hang from the ceiling, being climbable.

#### Cliff Jungles:

you see, those ones Asian jungles where massive rock formations makes cliffs or stone pillars, like the Mounts Tianzi in China ? or Avatar's (Cameron one) floating mountains ? those environments are perfect for flying and climbing horrors, like:

* Un-named gigantic snakes, their several pairs of wings bring them high in the skies to catch preys while flying. Their long claws also make them able to grab on cliffs to rest
* some species from the rest of the jungles, like Ayvannahs, Quezaltorns,

#### In the rivers:

As every jungles, a lot of large rivers cross them, hosting a large panel of fishes and other underwater creatures, such as:

* Piranhas
* Pacus
* Pirarucus
* Araipamas
* tropical colorful fishes, such as Bettas, Tetras or Discus
* Yonkaris, small dragons bending coldwater flames
* Spinosuchus, the apex of the rivers: a gigantic crocodile, covered in large spikes, the back supporting a large organic sail, their jaw pierced by rows of large teeth, perfect to grab the preys and to smash them until they are nothing more than bloody debris to eat
* Giant shrimps, the size of a lobster, colorful and translucent
* the same giant shrimps but carnivorous
* some bad tentacular thing, probably hiding in the mud

those rivers have very clear waters, topped by giant lillypads, algaes living at the bottom in underwater forests. Those rivers are sometimes very large and deep, enough for some trading ships to sail in the lands

### Swamps:

Usually extending from the rivers, those wet zones of forest are covered in roots and ponds, and the local fauna is not the kindest:

* big crocodiles
* half plant half animals things, still need to be defines
* **Ents**, but not humanoid ones, Ents that have the shape of actual trees, with many arms and legs from their branches and roots, sometimes even severals torsos and heads
* **Basilisks**, giant snakes spitting clouds of poisonous fog
* **Hydras**, their serpentine body is conveyed by two clawed legs, several snake heads (between 5 and 12 depending of the species) with one central one, venomous and with a cobra hood. Until the central head is not destroyed, they have exceptional regeneration abilities
* **Luryikios**, quadrupedal reptiles, their back horned with bony spikes that hide them in the mud puddles
* lot of bad big insects, like **a lot** and **very bad** and **very big**

Everyone tends to avoid those swamps, because there is nothing to find and everything wants to eat you

## Civilizations

### **Major civilization: the Elves**

i have nothing about them for now

well i have few ideas like airships above the jungles and things like that, but not well developed

### **Minor civilizations:**

#### **the Tyfyuyoskhegs:**

small panda-like creatures, with big eyes, Black&Blue colors, and standing on two feet. They have a really high pitched and fast voice, and no one really understand what they say. Their name come from that, or from what people think is their name

they wears really long mantles, stolen from humans or other people. they put them in the wrong way, having the hood on the front and using it to carry fruits and berries. They use them like that because they don't really know the good way to use them, but since their way works too you can't complain. The longer their mantle is, the higher their rank is in the village: every step high add a new row on the mantle, and every step down scratch that row, meaning that their mantles are all patched up with lots of different colors. The highest rank is the Chaman, praised and easily recognizable by their head-saucepan, again another misinterpreted object.

a lot of different tribes lives, scattered across the jungles: Some villages are constructed high in the canopy, wooden houses hidden in the leaves. Some others are in the caves, houses hanging from the roof or carved in the rocks. Some others lives near the rivers, living by fishing. All those tribes casually interact and trades with each others

## Ruler Dragon: Canopek, Roots of the World

Entirely made out of mossy roots, covered in Vines and flowers, this gigantic creature roam and guard the forests. His head is similar to the one of a bird, hooked beak and feathery leaves. Have a small body, supported by two strong arms, and that extend in long wooden tentacles, like if an octopus had arms, and they allow him to not only often walks on them, but also to jump with a surprising agility. His arms are pretty long and used to walk, on the knuckles, the large fingers bent on the phalanges. No wings extend from his shoulders, only two large branches. Ok those branches can grow in massive tree wings, not the best to fly but they do the job.

His only presence give vitality to nearby living organisms: plants grow faster and better, changing plains into forests. Animals are stronger, have more endurance, heal better
