Lycopodium

*“A massive planet consisting of massive, ancient forests, winding caverns and rolling green hills. The biology of this place is much like earth, with a similar atmosphere a moon incredibly close to the planet in comparison to ours, this ecological marvel is a place untouched by humanity and instead crawling with all new life forms. Humans are no longer the apex predators..”*

## The World

Lycopodium is a distant Exoplanet found outside of out solar system in an undisclosed location now accessible via Portal gun. This place is like that of the Monster Hunter Continent, extremely well known for its beautiful landscape, and apex Fauna never-before seen elsewhere. The creatures here live simple, primitive lives, simply not creating organizations simply because they desire living simpler lives, worrying about themselves. Most of these creatures can speak Human languages. This planet holds five remote locations:

`Designation Valley:[CAMPSITE CONFIRMED] A massive cave system found within a Central Valley formation with the first human research site, “Designation Valley”, this is the most deadliest “biome” in Lycopodium, as there are various ways to die including being caved in, lost and dying of natural causes, asphyxiation, and the Monster inside the System. This deep cave system holds untold minerals, artifacts, and special secrets to its history.`

`Writhing Swamp:[UNCONFIRMED] A rather large biome that is so far the 3rd most dangerous biome in Lycopodium, The Writhing Swamps are crawling with planetary disease and rather small monsters that live parasitic lives. The swamps are known for the amount of insects found living there, laying eggs in water and on the carcasses of dead animals that are usually found on the terrain or in the waist deep water. Dangerous predators often lurk within the Mangroves and Algae covered water waiting for prey, so it is best to not go in or near the water…but that will be hard since the swamp is 80 percent water pools and mud.`

`Great Northern Redwoods:[UNCONFIRMED]`

`Subarctic:[DERELICT]`

`Meadows:[UNCONFIRMED]`

`Caro Vorago, the Flesh Chasm:[DANGER!]`

## Monsters

**Shirobon**: *An incredibly dangerous creature that’s both humanoid and spider in appearance, this Demi-human creature evolved as an Empress of insects and arachnids on this planet. Working much like an Ant Nest, their hives usually consist her at the center, with insects all scrambling about to bring her any food sources and protect her as much as they can. Usually keeping them hidden around her abdomen, she will also sometimes set massive mine-like traps of webs made of a strange material incredibly sticky as to where one can’t escape, and more struggling only makes it more sticky. There are two webs she can make: Non sticky, rather thin webs used as rope and material for clothing, and sticky thin webs for traps. She will utilize her webs incredibly usefully. Once one faces her, she can rotate her arms at an extremely fast place to move like saws and release insectoids and spiders to her defense, laughing loudly until they leave. Apart from biting people she sometimes can split her mouth to triple the size to swallow large prey. She’s also strangely good at firearms.*

Eco7.jpegThe Deeper Caverns of Designation Valley. Lined with strange fungi and acidic limestone melting lakes, this section of the cave is often most brightest and has lots of light due to many bioluminescent organisms and bright complexion.Eco6.pngThe open zone outside the Queen’s Nest. This more open place is often littered in bones and poorly rotted skeletons from organisms that ceased to obey her..Eco9.jpegThe planet. Much more brighter and fuller than Earth, known for its extensive flora and forests.Eco4.jpegAn abandoned Reasearch Territory as was nearly finished during its construction but ultimately faced a dangerous creature that keeps it empty.Eco2.jpegThe massive redwoods that cover the central regions are extremely dense in foliage, and resemble that of tropical forests teeming with extensive life that live within and around the massive trees. Some of the trees even work as homes for other monsters!Eco8.jpegDeep within the forest lies lots of history, including that of entities that once thrived here…the beautiful landscape is only the trick.Eco3.jpegDeep within the Arctic Tundra lies a strange area releasing an even stranger energy…what is this place??Eco5.jpegSpecial Auroras over the “Aurora Plains”. This spectacle of lights, however, has a dangerous creature that lurks just below it, waiting to attack while it’s prey stares elseward..Eco1.jpegStrange paths seem to lead to places and odd signals can be received…maybe this place did have strange sentient life that dominated here…but what happened?
