Qetrore

**Qetrore** is an alien rainforest planet located in the Pocahtar System, in the Abdephomis Sector of the Delta Universe. With a blended setting of Disney *Pocahontas* and James Cameron's *Avatar*, this is a vibrant world of bioluminescent alien creatures. The most dominant creature is the Teadr 7 Qetrans, who are human-ape-monkey Indian-Na'vi-like semi-arboreal alien beings that have a great knowledge in magic. They believe in an Eywa-like goddess called Hiva, which is actually the globally-linked sentience of all planimal life on the planet that shares it's life with the dead and often makes them one with them. Because of this planet's richness in rarium, it has been invaded by pirates, criminals, greedy barons, and even the Villains Act.

## Setting

### **Climate**

Other than the richness of varying colors, the planet's giant alien trees, which are actually planimals (plant-animals) with electrochemical connections between their roots, resemble those of an average world. They have the familiar trunks, branches and leaves, though due to the lower gravity from the planet's Tier 4 size, many of the shapes appear strange and the proportions are greater. The planet's small size means creatures, minus the Qetrans, have multiple limbs. The night cycle of the planet is the most dangerous because this is when predators are most active. Unlike it's Avatar counterpart Pandora, Qetrore's atmosphere is breathable to everyone.

The planet is also rich in rarium and magnetanium. Rarium is a very valuable gem found all throughout the AUU that equals 100 millites ($100 million) in cash per gram. This world's extreme richness in this gem is the reason why this planet has been raided many times in the past. Magnetanium, despite being only worth $200, is a superconductive magnetic substance found all over the AUU that possesses it's own magnetic field and thus, according to the Meissner Effect (Messiter Effect in AUU terms) can act upon a planet's magnetosphere and lift terrain off the ground. The Thundellujah Mountains of Qetrore circle the capital village of the world, Patuthah, in floating mountains levitated by magnetanium.

### **Biota**

Owed to its weaker gravity, the wildlife on Qetrore has more than four limbs as well as reach larger sizes. Much of the wildlife is otherworldly in origin, evolving to fit the climate. These creatures include:

* *Oala*- An otter-like creature identical to the cut Pandoran otter of *Avatar 2*. They have four terrestrial legs and four flipper legs, and bioluminescent color-changing scales.
* *Palo*- An equine identical yet radically different to the direhorse/pa'li of *Avatar*. They are a native species with four legs, each of which are eight legs fused to look quadrupedal. They have long queue antennae and flexible frills. They are the common terrestrial mount for Qetrans.
* *Yeker*- A cervine similar to the hexapede/yerik of *Avatar*. Their butterfly-like head crests are bioluminescent and change color, useful for either courtship or intimidation.
* *Tollaro*- A bovine-like herding and territorial beast identical to the sturmbeest/talioang of *Avatar*. They have six hooved legs, long furs, two long horns, two long queue antennae, and two small tusks.
* *Qrisk*- A hammerhead rhino identical to the hammerhead titanothere/angtsik of *Avatar*. Descended from introduced malloceroses, these are larger and have thicker skin, six legs, colorful feather head crests, bioluminescent spots lining their backs, and multiple queue antannae on the sides of their heads. They are a territorial and aggressive species as an adaptation to the radical environment.
* *Lulpka*- A giant panther-like predator identical to the thanator/palulukan of *Avatar*. Descended from introduced berthers, they have six legs, ravenous jaws of black teeth full of hemotoxin, long crested tails, feathery flaring frills, four queue antennae, and bioluminescent stripes.
* *Ajvu*- A canine-feline pack-hunting predator identical in some ways to the viperwolf/nantang of *Avatar*. Descended from introduced ajacks, they possess the same mane and stripes, but have six legs with two thumbs each, long queue antennae, two tails, black teeth in one jaws and an internal jaw, and communicate in flashing bioluminescent stripes and hyena-like cackles.
* *Fkid*- Small aerial wyvern-like creatures similar to the tetrapteron/fkio of *Avatar* serving as the primary aerial niche of Qetrore. They have four wings, two legs, a flat tail with two tails, two retractable queue antennae, and retractable teeth.
* *Skoul*- Aerial wyvern-like predatory creatures similar to the banshee/ikran of *Avatar*. They are native beasts with four wings and two legs, two long tails, two queue antennae, extending jaws, and the ability to breath a chemical fire or flammable resin from their mouths. They are the most common aerial mount for the Qetrans.
* *Tarruk*- A giant colorful xenoavian reptoid identical to the great leonopteryx/toruk from *Avatar*. Descended from introduced narkwings, one of the AUU's top superpredators, they are the apex predators or Qetrore, but very rare. So rare in fact, that it is believed only one last individual exists, and has lived for thousands of years. They have four large fire-colored wings and two legs, two long tails, large amounts of colored feathers, long queue antennae, large black toothed beaks, and can breath plasma from their mouths so powerful they can take out flying mountains. They are revered in Qetran legend for their apex status and unmatched strength, and taming one is so impossibly difficult, save five instances called 'Tarruk Rmakder', or 'Tarruk Rider', considered apex heroes bringing help to those in major and catastrophic suffering. This is what made Zoroaster comparable to a Tarruk when he first arrived due to his intense energetic breaths.
* *Wuku*- A large whale-like behemoth identical to the tulkun of *Avatar 2*. They are native creatures with an intelligence comparable to sapience, two long queue antennae in their mouths, two bladed snout crests, six large flippers, and a large tail flipper. They are the primary large aquatic mounts of the Qetrans.
* *Slu*- A sea-lion/plesiosaur-like aquatic creature similar to the ilu of *Avatar 2*. They are a native species with long necks, six large flippers, two long queue antennae, and a dolphin-like tail fin.
* *Ubuka*- A large shark/mosasaur-like aquatic predator identical to the akula/pxazang of *Avatar 2*. Descended from introduced junja sharks, they are the apex predators of Qetrore's oceans, possessing four symmetrical jaws of black teeth with an internal jaw set within, two long queue antennae, a mosasaur-like tail, six flippers, and a large shark-like dorsal fin.
* *Yiko*- A primatoid identical to the prolemuris/syaksyuk of *Avatar* and the closest extant relative to the Qetrans. They have four legs which, like Palos, are eight legs fused by the upper sections. They are curious but not aggressive.
