King Irvin II

**King Irvin II** was an Ostlean king. He was an important figure in the history of Alameda.

## Ascent to the throne

When King Irving II, then still Prince Irvin, was only 5 years old, his father King Robin I became King of Ostlea. King Robin had very different ideas about ruling the country and made big changes, including firing his entire royal council and replacing them with his own people. The old council feared the worst for Ostlea, and banded together to form the Irvinites; a group intent on placing the young Prince Irvin on the throne.

The Irvinites kidnapped the prince and worked towards crowning him king. However, to do this they needed the Ostlean Amulet, a royal heirloom which King Robin wore upon his person at all times.

To acquire the amulet, the Irvinites attacked the Royal Castle, which was destroyed as a result. King Robin lost his life in the battle, but the amulet had vanished without a trace.

Not giving up, the Irvinites secretly created a fake amulet and presented it as the true Ostlean Amulet. It was then used to crown the young prince King.

## Rule

Before King Irvin II came of age, he largely had a purely ceremonial function, not yet being old enough to make decisions. The council were the true rulers at this time.

## Explorations

King Irvin II became widely known for his love of exploring. During his youth his explorations were likely confined to the Royal Castle and Alameda; however, later in life he explored Ostlea. He is credited with the discovery of many creatures, and is commonly known as King Irvin the Explorer.
Festive Potion

The **Festive Potion** is a potion which can be purchased from the Apothecary during the Winter Holiday event, and which was given out as a promo code during the Christmas 2015 event as part of the Christmas Countdown.

## Description

Oh look, it's a birdbath! It doesn't look epic though... it smells like... evergreens and fresh mint? Use this potion on any Pogolon to change it into its Festive form.

## Effect

Wonderland Amusement Park (Bejing)

Wonderland was an abandoned incomplete amusement park construction project located in Chenzhuang Village (陈庄村), Nankou Town (南口地区), Changping District, China, about 20 miles (32 kilometers) outside of Beijing. Originally proposed by the Thailand-based property developer Reignwood Group,[1] and designed to be the largest amusement park in Asia (to have covered 120 acres (49 ha)), construction stopped in 1998 following financial problems with local officials, while a 2008 attempt to start construction again also failed.[2] In 2013 the unfinished park was demolished.
Gryffi's Fairy Tales: The Cradle of the Moon

***The Cradle of the Moon*** is the seventh chapter of the Library book *Gryffi's Fairy Tales*. It is a piece of prose poetry about the Cradle of the Moon.

## Story

I want to dance with you in the cradle of the Moon,
Show you the cat and its silver spoon.
I'd give you an Oasis crystal rose,
and just maybe see how it goes.

We'd dance across the White Horse Plains,
Not care a whit for green grass stains.
Watch the Fenns dance in the sky,
Their fires reflected in your eye.

We'd swim the oceans deep,
Meet the merfolk in their keep.
I'd do all these things for you,
Just to show I love you true.

Gryffi's Fairy Tales: Forest Friend

***Forest Friend*** is the fourth chapter in the Library book *Gryffi's Fairy Tales*. It is the story of a Wendigo which doesn't quite follow the instinctive urges its kind is known for.

## Story

Deep in the forest there was a Wendigo who found it difficult to lure in and end the lives of lost wanderers. This Wendigo did not feel the same instinctual urges to kill that others of its kind did. In fact, this Wendigo found it enjoyable to spring gifts upon those who crossed its path. Granted, those who ran across this Wendigo were never aware of the benevolent intentions the kindred creature had, and instead opted to flee without a second thought. For years the Wendigo lived alone in the darker and more shrouded areas of Elegema Forest, until the creature eventually decided that it would attempt to move closer to human settlements. It wanted to share the things it had found with them, and wanted nothing more than to be their friends. When the humans spotted the Wendigo residing close to their homes, they were scared by the stories that Wendigos were well-known for, and so they sent out a party to hunt and kill the beast. Upon seeing the group of humans approaching it, the friendly wendigo was ecstatic, eager to share its discoveries with them. The humans, unknowing that the Wendigo merely wanted to befriend them, mistook the Wendigo's outstretched arms and excited chattering as an act of aggressiveness and struck the creature dead almost immediately. It wasn't until years later that slowly, those who had encountered the Wendigo before came forward and shared their tales of the creature that had neither attacked nor maliciously drawn them in. Now, the legacy of the friendly Wendigo lives on through the voices of those who had met it.

Lyzta's Jungle

## Notable locations

Thoina Shrine

**Lyzta's Jungle** is one of the biomes. It is sometimes referred to as the Jungle.

Shortly after the site's opening, it was renamed from Lysta's Jungle to Lyzta's Jungle, as it is written on the map.

## Description

There seems to be more and more trees and exotic plants as you walk. As it turns out, you are walking straight into a jungle that is giving off a vibe of magic. Vines that seem to hang from the clouds- jungles sure are full of life! But you don't see any creatures. They must be deeper in the jungle. It is difficult to continue travelling due to many plants in your way, even some with thorns, but you push through until you find eggs.

Will you take one?

Frigid Orb

The **Frigid Orb** is an item which can be found while clicking creatures with an elemental affinity for Ice.

## Description

For a second you could have sworn frost was forming on this orb. It's only a little cool to the touch though, so it's impossible frost was forming. You pick it up but as you carry it with you on your travels you notice the temperature of the air around you dropping.

## Effect

The Frigid Orb can be used on creatures with an elemental affinity for Ice, which have a Zenith form and which have at least 200 clicks. Doing so will turn the creature into its Zenith form. Once changed, it cannot be changed back into its Adult form unless it is sold, traded or abandoned.
The item cannot be used from the inventory, and instead needs to be used at The Portal.

Late January 2016 Release

Release banner

## Event creatures

* Hellspawn Jelly
* Tundra Squirrel

The **Late January 2016 release** was initially a single release for just the Tundra Squirrel. A few hours later, the Hellspawn Jelly was secretly released as well, with staff joking about it having been released from the Site Opening Release onwards already. Some more hours later, the jellies were properly announced.

This partial secret release is why the release banner is the one for a single creature, rather than the banner for multiple creatures.

## Release Announcement

A new discovery has been made in the world of Ostlea!

This new creature has taken up residence in the Sunanie Glacier where it will be mass dropping until 11:59 PM on Sunday the 24th. This creature currently cannot be fed.

This creature is a permanent release.

Hellspawn Jellies can now be found dropping commonly in Scylla's Cove. These can be fed and are permanent though their rarity will be returning to uncommon on Sunday.

Survivor - Ordinary Person

The people who lived through the Wave and survived the Zombie Apocalypse

 **Dead Reign:  Zombie Role-Playing Game**

inhabit a world seemingly gone mad.  Though they come from every walk of life and every social and economic background, they all have one thing in common:  they are *surivors*.

The Survivor O.C.C. is an "everyman" classification that provides a wide array of options for players.  All types of people fall under this O.C.C., from skilled professionals like doctors, scientists, engineers, mechanics, and entertainers to construction workers, physical laborers, truck drivers, waitresses, and students.  The strength of their backs,

what skills they may have, their cunning and their courage are often the only currency they have to trade for shelter, supplies, or to garner the assistance of others.  All do what they can and work to help other survivors stay alive and out of the hands of the walking dead.Actually, they are more than mere survivors.  These people have chosen to fight.  They've chose not to give up, but to band together to find other survivors, help other people, battle the walking dead, establish safe haven communities, and rebuild human civilization.  It is a herculean task taken on by ordinary men and women.  Most of these characters are not trained in the art of war, and don't posess much in the way of combat skill, yet still they dare to take a stand against the legions of undead.  They are not afraid to go into urban areas to gather necessary supplies, find a lost child, or help a stranger - a fellow survivor - in need.  Okay, may they *are* afraid, but they don't let that stop them from doing what's right.  And that is what makes them, perhaps, the braves heroes in this post-apocalyptic world.

Creature of the Month June 2016

## Candycane Moth

**Glacienne Moths** are moths found in Sunanie Glacier. They were part of the opening day release.

A Zenith stage was added during the First Birthday event.

## Descriptions

### Egg

This soft, translucent egg has a dark center.

### Hatchling

Aw, it's a caterpillar! It's very cold to the touch, and leaves frosty trails wherever it crawls. It seems to enjoy nibbling on chunks of ice.

### Mature Hatchling

Your caterpillar has found a snug corner to create its cocoon in. Though it was unlike anything you've ever seen, it used its weak frost abilities to literally freeze its cocoon around it! You put the cocoon in a cool place so it could grow in peace.

### Adult

A cream colored moth emerges from the shattered remains of its cocoon, freezing its wings to a solid yet flexible state. Just like when they're caterpillars, Glacienne Moths are frigid to the touch, and are at home in the cold. Native to the Sunanie Glacier, they wield minor ice abilities, and can freeze almost anything as long as it isn't too large of an area, including more viscous liquids like honey and blood! They gain their magic from eating the ice in Sunanie; air bubbles in the water when it starts melting in the summer trap the magic in the atmosphere, so when the glacier re-freezes in the winter, that magic is contained within the ice that the Glacienne Moths eat. The mana inside of this ice imbues the Glacienne with just enough magic to cast minor spells. When a Glacienne absorbs enough magic, they will passively freeze the air around them, a result of the magic essentially leaking out of them. The characteristic blue ring around their wing tails is most apparent during this time, and is a sign of good health; Glaciennes with no visible ring is often a sign of illness or as a flaw in diet. To make sure they eat the right ice, Glaciennes will use their antennae to sense whether there is magic frozen in it or not, and will push away regular ice and snow in favor of those that contains mana.

Glacienne Moths seem to have very passive, calm personalities, often ignoring tensions or extreme emotions around them, and hardly reacting to turmoil. Because of their tranquil behavior, some beings tame them for relaxation purposes, or as level-headed guardians. Other people may tame them exclusively for their magical purposes, such as to keep food from spoiling or to provide comfort for other icy pets, or even as temperature regulators during the summer. Glaciennes don't seem to mind this, gladly doing the tasks given to them, as they don't have much else to do other than eat and sleep.

## Candycane Moth

On the 18th of December 2015, a potion alt for the Glacienne Moth was released as part of the Christmas Countdown of the Christmas 2015 event. The Peppermint Elixir potion was given out with a promo code, but could also be bought from the Apothecary for 100. The potion can only be used on adult Glacienne Moths.

Mayem

**Mayem** was a guardian of Thoina Shrine, a shrine deep within Lyzta's Jungle.

## Life

From the moment of his birth, Mayem was deemed the sole protector of Thoina Shrine. During his life he protected the shrine from countless bandit attacks, all intent on acquiring the treasure contained within the it. Mayem sustained many injuries during these attacks and got close to losing his life numerous times, but survived and lived for many ages, protecting the shrine each and every day.

## Death

After many ages had passed, Mayem sensed the end of his life approaching. He entered deep into the shrine and let the jungle's spirit guide him, letting his life force slip away as the divine presence of the jungle washed over him. As a thank-you and replacement guardian, the jungle created the first ever Aucusto Statue, allowing Mayem a look at it before his soul departed.

## Abilities

Having been guardian since birth, Mayem is a strong warrior. He is described as having control over Light magic, and likely has skill with weapons as well. He may also be knowledgeable about healing methods, having survived near-death experiences and countless injuries.
Lava Dink

* Hydrocarbon
* Copper
* Selenium (Oddity)

## Selenium Lava Dink

**Lava Dinks** are small creatures which can be found in Mt. Ekoh and rarely in the Mystic Caverns. They have a rare alternative blue colour, the Copper Lava Dink, which can hatch from any Lava Dink egg. They were released alongside the Ephalump during the Early May 2016 Release.

## Descriptions

### Egg

This small, warm egg sizzles and fizzles when you touch it

### Hatchling

Awww, this cute little hatchling is always looking for warm spots about your home...

### Mature Hatchling

Awww, this cute little hatchling is always looking for warm spots about your home. recently it's gotten more adventurous and has even set itself on fire a couple of times. it seems fine though...

### Adult

Dinks are small creatures that possess two distinct types of primitive magic: one that allows them to swim in lava and one that grants them the ability to create molten lava bubbles. The first is essential to their survival, as they are often found dwelling in the well-known lava pools of Mt. Ekoh. In fact, their oddly shaped tails are specifically used to assist them as they navigate the scalding lakes. When they are in the lava, the fur along their backs often ignites. Their second magical ability is used to conjure bubbles of molten rock that float according to their will. These beautiful yet incredibly dangerous bubbles are used to distract and sometimes attack predators and after these bubbles have cooled, Ostleans have been known to collect them to be used as decorative pieces due to their perfectly spherical shapes. Naturally, dinks maintain a very high body temperature and make for wonderful snuggle buddies when it's cool outside.

### Additional Information

Some dinks have a strange coloration to their fur. This is due to the lava they can be found swimming in, which is heavily saturated in sulfur and in turn stains their bodies. When the fur on their backs ignite, it burns a bright blue or green because of this

Feli

## Black Feli

**Feli** are cats found in Elegema Forest. They were part of the First Birthday Release.

## Descriptions

### Egg

You can hear soft mews coming from this smooth egg.

### Hatchling

A small sandy-colored kitten hatched from the egg. Most curious is its lack of a fur coat, though.

### Mature Hatchling

Lively and energetic, this kitten is slowly growing into its wrinkles. It loves to play. It also loves your company and rarely lets you out of its sight!

### Adult

Feli might remind you of sun-baked deserts, but they are truly native to temperate forests. These large cats do not thrive in very hot or very cold environments. All feli love water and regularly go swimming in lakes and ponds, hunting insects, amphibians, and small birds for food. One of their most striking features is that the eyes are different colors - but all feli have one yellow eye, a signifier of their magical prowess. The sand-colored feli, the most common, are affectionate, gentle, and loving. They excel at nature and healing magic. They make excellent companions and may even come
across as needy. They are quite communicative as well.

Lich Warder

* Normal

The **Lich Warder** is a holiday creature released on the 31st of October 2017, as part of the Halloween 2017 event alongside the Hooded Draich.

## Descriptions

### Egg

This egg leaves you feeling cold inside. Yet, oddly, you're comforted by its presence.

### Hatchling

A strange hatchling emerged from the egg. It doesn't look like any baby bird you've seen before.

### Mature Hatchling

The hatchling has gotten bigger and some of its features are distinctly wolfish. Recently, it started growing a set of antlers.

### Adult

Lich Warders are a unique cross between wolf and bird, with impressive antlers that outshine even the best of a buck's rack. Solitary in nature, these creatures hunt down unnatural monstrosities. Though their magic is rooted in darkness and death, first impressions can be deceiving, for they are not terrible beasts like their demeanor and appearance might suggest. However, you still would not want to approach with poor intentions, as these profound creatures are incredibly keen on picking up on one's true motive; many ill-intended fools have suffered cruel fates from encounters with Lich Warders. They are said to be sworn enemies of the dreaded Hooded Draiche, the former protecting the world from the vile plots of the latter.

Lepin

* Normal
* Cherry (Oddity)
* Oriole (Oddity)

## Oriole Lepin

**Lepin** are a holiday creature released on the 27th of March 2016, as part of the Easter 2016 Release. They were released alongside the Spring seasonal, the Storm Herald.

## Descriptions

### Egg

This brown egg is crisscrossed with blue stripes.

### Hatchling

With one final crack a fluffy brown ball of fur and down tumbles out of the egg. It already seems to be spoiling for a fight.

### Mature Hatchling

Now about the size of a small pony, the young rabbit is already sporting the nubs of antlers. Its flight feathers have started to come in, and, thankfully, it is no longer quite as rambunctious.

### Adult

Lepin are a cantankerous lot. If not bonded with from the moment they hatch they respond poorly to training and can become a nuisance due to their size and breeding habits. Due to this nature the elves who also call the forest home have taken great pains to ensure it is rare to see them in the wild.

While resembling the much smaller rabbits, Lepin lack the innate prey instinct and will instead readily leap into battle with their rider or fearlessly scout out the depths of the forest. Their massive antlers and the ability to fly keeps any would-be predators at bay and make them ideal partners for the elven scouts.

During the spring months Lepin bucks start getting more and more restless till even the well trained ones become as unruly as their wild counterparts. Within a month the forest is dotted with large nests housing a small clutch of eggs.

## Trivia

According to MonstrHugger, The name Lepin is a combination of Lepus, the scientific name for hares, and Lapin, the French word for rabbit/bunny.

The concept is based on the mythological Wolpertinger.

Haven Turtle

The **Haven Turtle** is a creature found in Scylla's Cove. It was released in honour of Earth Day 2016.

## Descriptions

### Egg

This leathery egg was laying on the beach.

### Hatchling

A small turtle hatched from the egg and immediately crawled to the ocean. Its shell is covered with soft grass.

### Mature Hatchling

It hasn't grown much bigger, but it's sluggish, which has allowed corals to take hold on parts of its shell. The little turtle remains within the reef a few miles offshore, but it comes to you when you visit.

### Adult

Haven turtles are giants of the ocean. These rare turtles grow continuously throughout their lives and they may live many centuries, eventually growing to rival some whales in size. As hatchlings, haven turtles tend to pick a place - usually a reef - to remain until they grow big enough to brave the open ocean without the risk of becoming food for a predator. Since their growth takes many years and their movement is slow, their shells provide ideal places for grasses, seaweeds, and corals to gain footholds. A mature haven turtle's shell eventually becomes like a small ecosystem in itself: the plants attract crabs and small fish, which in turn attract predators like highly venomous sea snakes. The turtles themselves feed on a type of seaweed whose "flowers" bloom a vibrant red, and on hellspawn jellies. The jellies' stings don't seem to bother haven turtles, and it is common to see them wherever the jellies are.

Gryffi's Fairy Tales: The Toupee Eating Hat

***The Toupee Eating Hat*** is the third chapter of the Library book *Gryffi's Fairy Tales*. It tells the story of how a hat eats wizard and mages' hairpieces.

## Story

How they came about nobody is quite sure, or even when they came about really. One thing that is known though is that in the town of Aurora Vale it is advised to inspect the brim of one's hat for teeth before placing it on your head. Why you might ask? Well...

It all started when a group of mages happened to stumble out of the Leyline at the same time a similar group of wizards stumbled their way out of the purple Newt. Normally this would not have been a big deal, a few words and perhaps hair colors would be exchanged then the two parties would go on their ways to their respective schools. Unfortunately at that time one of the wizards was loudly proclaiming his newest theory on the ultimate source and use of magic.

The next morning is when it began, the first bleary eyed victim opened his eyes in the ruins of the partially melted building to find that while he had retained his hat...his hair piece was missing. Across town a portly banker lost his Hairpiece as well to a ravenous tophat...

So began the great war against the Toupee Eating Hat.

Holiday Cracker

The **Holiday Cracker** is a junk item which is gotten from a promo code. The promo code was given out as part of the Christmas Countdown during the Christmas 2015 event. The code was active until January 1st, 2016.

## Description

A holiday cracker. It feels awfully heavy. I bet Gryffi shoved an otter in there... Or more likely some silver.

## Effect

The Holiday Cracker is a junk item and can therefore not be used. It can be sold from the inventory for 6000.

## Trivia

On the inventory page, the Holiday Cracker is listed as a Gift item. However, since its effect is identical to that of junk items, it can be considered a junk item.

Microraptor

* Microraptor
* Apologyraptor

## Apologyraptor

**Microraptors** are bird-like creatures found in Elegema Forest and Lyzta's Jungle. They were part of the opening day release.

Following server downtime in late October 2015, a special variety of microraptor named **apology raptor** was released. This variant was available through the promo code "IndominusRex" starting October 29th 2015 and ending February 7th 2016, and a maximum of 15 could be obtained through said promotion. A week before the promotion ended, they were made available in the Menagerie for 1000 per egg.

## Descriptions

### Hatchling

It's a rather small hatchling, but very active. It keeps leaping about, but it seems to be getting better at not knocking everything over.

### Mature Hatchling

As it's grown, it's become more arboreal and very adept at gliding. You are also sure that it has four wings, with the second pair attached to the hind legs. Though it rarely walks now, it uses its claws to cling to trees while it climbs them.

### Adult

Microraptor are one of the most common sights in forests and jungles. These four-winged little beasts are often mistaken for birds. They are territorial, but also inquisitive, frequently investigating before attacking. Many larger creatures consider them a nuisance; although solitary, they can and will congregate in large numbers to attempt to drive something away. During the summer breeding season, microraptor males will perform a unique aerial dance for females. These pairs only last until the nest is built and the eggs laid. The female raises the hatchlings by herself.  Microraptors are commonly kept as pets due to their small size and friendly nature when hand-reared, but many consider the risk of stealing an egg not worth it. If an egg-thief is caught, the female will call to others in the area to attack and the thief usually ends up very badly scratched.

Eltik

## Notable locations

Towne of Alameda
Scylla's Cove

The river **Eltik** is a very notable river in Ostlea.

## Location

The river has its source somewhere west of Alameda; the exact location is unknown. From there, it runs through the middle of Alameda, effectively splitting the city in two. It then bends northeast, finally flowing into the ocean at Scylla's Cove.

## Importance

The river is vital to the Ostlean economy. Goods are brought up and down the river, from the villages west of Alameda through the capital city itself, all the way to Scylla's Cove and the other way around. Many products arriving at Scylla's Cove from ocean ships are loaded onto river ships on the Eltik, which then bring them to Alameda to be sold on the Bazaar, the largest and most prominent marketplace in all of Ostlea.
Current Release

The **Current Release** is the release which is currently going on (or which is the most recent). Creatures listed here will need to get their own page if they don't have one already.

## Guideline

If you create the page for a newly released creature, please do the following:

* Use the Creature Page Template
* Add the egg to the List of Eggs
* Add the creature to the following lists: List of Creatures, List of Creatures by Biome, List of Creatures by Egg Group and List of Creatures by Element
* Add the link to the creature's page to Template:Navbox creatures
* Add the link to the creature's page to the Release Timeline
* Increase the 'creature' count on the spriter's page and add it to the correct lists there
* Same as above for other credits
* If a creature is a shop creature, make sure to add it to Menagerie
* If the creature has oddities, add them to Oddities
* If the creature is seasonal, add it to the Seasonal page
* If a creature has a potion alt, make sure to add a page for the potion item, add the item to Template:Navbox items, add it to Potion Alts, add it to Potions, add it to Apothecary, and increase the 'items' count on the spriter's page

Also keep in mind:

* Make sure to use the correct categories!
* When uploading images, DO NOT FORGET THE CORRECT LICENSE! For sprites, this should be 'This is copyrighted, but use is permitted by the copyright holder'
* Creature page titles should be singular, not plural
* The page for the release will need to be created, as well! If you do so, make sure to add the link to it to the Release Timeline, and add it to Template:Navbox releases

Mayura Enigma

The **Mayura Enigma** is a winter seasonal creature released during the Winter 2015 Seasonal Release. It can be purchased in the Menagerie for 2000. One egg was given out with a promo code as part of the 2015 Christmas Countdown.

## Descriptions

### Egg

There is something hauntingly beautiful about this cold, frigid egg.

### Hatchling

The egg has hatched into a colony of odd glowing creatures. You are not sure what they are, but they forever linger in deeper water. They sting painfully if handled.

### Mature Hatchling

The egg has hatched into a colony of odd glowing creatures. You are not sure what they are, but they seem to coexist as a single organism, apparently led by the will of the first. They sting painfully if handled.

### Adult

Mayura Enigma are a seldom-seen inhabitant of the darkest and coldest oceans. Occasionally the ''adults'' can be seen near the tip of deeper icebergs, but only during the night when all water levels of all depths share the same darkness. Adults cannot survive at the surface, and quickly die in shallower waters. Over time small groups of these creatures attach to form specialized colonies, eventually forming the eerie creature often associated with the species. Indeed when a tamer has the fortune to look after such a creature they are in fact looking after what may be hundreds or thousands of individually aware organisms, all combined into one single hive mind.
