## Hamearis Temporal Chryax

**Temporal Chryaxes** are mystic beings which can be bought from the Menagerie in the Bazaar for 1 per egg. They were released alongside the Cryptic Gryphon during the first Creature Symposium.

## Descriptions

### Egg

You seem to lose a sense of time around this egg.

### Hatchling

A cute deer with tiny butterfly wings hatched from the egg! It's a bit odd how you don't notice the passage of time when you play with it.

### Mature Hatchling

The deer continues to grow, and the more time you spend around it...the less time seems to pass? And you keep finding yourself experiencing strong feelings of déjà vu. Strange.

### Adult

Temporal Chryaxes are very wise and sentient creatures with a keen sense of the universe. They are deeply in touch with fate and the functions of time, and an all-knowing aura is commonly associated with them. These mysterious creatures are very rare and little is known about them, as they are usually only seen in places where time is being altered. The deer themselves possess incredibly strong control over time, particularly in rewinding events to reverse the disastrous effects of attempting to change the course of fate.

## Concept Art

This was a terrible MSPaint drawing that xxBurningxx did in an attempt to convey what she had in mind for one of the poses/design of the Temporal Chryaxes. ZioCorvid then proceeded to make much, much better and more artistic sketches.

These are the sketches that ZioCorvid drew before the spriting the Temporal Chryaxes. They are clearly much better than xxBurningxx's sketch.

## Trivia

* Temporal Chryaxes are inspired from the video game Life is Strange. In the game, a phantom deer and a bright blue butterfly are key symbolic points in the story.
* The game revolves around time travel and the consequences of altering the past, another point where inspiration was drawn for the Chryaxes.
* The name 'Chryax' is a mashup of the two main protagonists' names, Max and Chloe.
* The color scheme on xxBurningxx's oddities are supposed to be pirate-esque, as rusty reds, blacks and golds are typically associated with pirates. This is yet another subtle reference to the game.

## Notable locations

* Castle Ruins

The **Tree of Souls** is a legendary tree on Ostlea. It is located near the Castle Ruins and It is also the first chapter in the Library book *Gryffi's Fairy Tales*.

## Story

Near the castle ruins there exists a tree unlike any other in the world, it has become to be known as the Tree of Souls. It is rumored that if you go to the tree on the anniversary of the King's death and bring an offering, the face of the King will appear to you granting you and your family a year of good fortune. However, should you come to the tree with ill intentions, it is said you will be met with the angry faces of the people who were lost during the fall of the kingdom, ready and willing to take your soul into their ranks. Cold hearts beware, your true intentions can never be hidden.

Pile of Snow

The **Pile of Snow** is a junk item which can be found in Sunanie Glacier.

## Description

A pile of snow. If you brought a little hat, you can make a little snowman.

## Effect

The pile of snow is a junk item and can therefore not be used. It can be sold from the inventory for 30 .

At the time of the site's opening, the item could be used. However, actually doing so would result in the error message *"This item has no purpose, what are you trying to accomplish?"*. The option was removed shortly after opening.

Polychroma Aurora

Polychroma aurora are a holiday creature released on the 16th of April 2017, as part of the Easter 2017 release.

## Descriptions

### Egg

Yum! It's a pile of jelly beans! In the wilderness...?

### Hatchling

Woah...what used to be a pile of jelly beans has morphed into a very toxic looking slime. They sure don't look so tasty now.

### Mature Hatchling

You don't know what amalgamation has "hatched", but those certainly weren't normal jelly beans! You swear it wasn't in that spot yesterday...whatever "it" may be.

### Adult

Polychroma aurora are rarely a familiar sight, preferring particular shaded forest with the perfect amount of moisture. As a mature colony, the brightly coloured amorphous mats drape over branches, forming ethereal curtains known as Easter tinsel. Because the colony adapts very specifically to the environment no two encounters with this species are the same, and the apparent shapes and figures these colonies may depict are a subject that has captivated artists and travelers alike. The individual Polychroma aurora is a single- celled microscopic organism. Although self-sustaining, these cells are frequently social and congregate in areas of high nutrient density. Polychroma are just one of many strange species in Ostlea collectively known as "slime moulds". Colonial mats of these organisms are actually mobile, although none but the most patient observer could acclaim to this fact; colonies scarcely travel more than a few feet a day, and not at all on some days.

Shelled Duckle

* Normal
* Mallard (Oddity)

## Mallard Shelled Duckle

**Shelled Duckles** are one of the three Shelled creatures released during the Spring Festival 2016. Players had to collect items and craft them into the creature. The other two Shelled creatures released at this time are the Shelled Rexling and Shelled Sheeplet.

## Descriptions

### Egg

It's a lump of clay... It seems to be surrounded in a magical aura.

#### Last two cracks

The strange clay has taken on the shape of an egg.

### Hatchling

The egg has cracked and you can see little feet sticking out. You can hear muffled peeps coming from inside the egg.

### Mature Hatchling

The little duck's head has popped out from the top of the egg! Oddly enough, it still hasn't fully left the shell, and doesn't seem intent on doing so.

### Adult

Shelled Duckles are a unique species of creature native to the lands of Ostlea. These ducks are created from a combination of special magic, materials, and tender care during the Spring Festival. Because of this, Shelled Duckles are an entirely domestic species and cannot be found in the wild unless released by their crafter or other unfortunate circumstances have taken place. Their feathers are incredibly soft and are known to possess certain evil-repelling charms. It is not uncommon for people to stick a few Shelled Duckle feathers in their pillows to help ward against nightmares.

Valentine's Day 2016

Event announcement banner

## Event creatures

* Loveslug

The **Valentine's Day 2016** event started on the 14th of February with the release of the Loveslug. Cuddle Plushies are sometimes also seen as Valentines creatures, but as they are available during the entire month of February it would be more appropriate to call them Seasonal creatures.

This event marked the first time an event creature was released in an event biome, in this case Amorae Forest.

## Timeline

### 14th of February

The start of the event, with the release of the Loveslug. A new story in *Gryffi's Fairy Tales* was released alongside them; *Calm After the Storm*.

### 18th of February

End of the event. Loveslugs stop being able to breed, and any still growing slugs can now be fed.

## Release Announcement

Valentine's Day has finally arrived, a day to spend with your significant otter \*cough\* OTHER or just show your family and friends how you care about them. Or maybe you'd just prefer to curl up with a nice love story and a slimy creature? If that's your style you've come to the right place, to celebrate this holiday xxBurningxx has written a special story just for you my lovelies! Go take a look and when you're done head over to Amorae Forest and gather up the slimey new beauties.

These creatures will be available until February 18th at 11:59 PM, after this time they will no longer be available in lair and will stop breeding their own kind until next year. Grab them while you can!

Note: These creatures currently CANNOT be fed!

Happy Valentine's Day my darlings!

Possessed Dracodoll

The **Possessed Dracodoll** is a special version of the Enchanted Plushie. It is available from the Menagerie during the month of October for 700 silver per egg. They were released during the October 2015 Seasonal Release.

## Descriptions

### Egg

This egg feels like cotton but, for some reason it sends chills down your spine.

### Hatchling

The egg has become a little hatchling! It seems like a plushie, but it keeps lunging at you and biting at your clothing!

### Mature Hatchling

The egg has become a little hatchling! It seems like a plushie, but it keeps lunging at you and biting at your clothing! The plush hatchling has grown a lot larger, and more aggressive. The little dragon seems to be moving on to larger things now - you noticed a large piece of your couch is suddenly missing...and didn't you have two pillows?

### Adult

While their cousins, the enchanted plushies, are sweet and cuddly, possessed dracodolls are anything but. while they don't need nourishment to live, they just can't resist the chance to eat that delicious-looking quilt made by your great-grandmother or that wedding dress you so carelessly left in your closet. it may be in your best interest to house this creature elsewhere before it eats you out of house and home - but you probably already know that, judging from your lack of shoes.

Creature of the Month December 2016

## Terururu

**Teruterus** are a holiday creature released on the 29th October, 2015, as part of the Halloween 2015 event. Eggs of this creature could be purchased from the Menagerie for 700 .

## Descriptions

### Egg

This lightweight egg is adorned with a small ribbon.

### Hatchling

A small... thing hatched from the egg. It looks like it's made of fabric. Is it alive...?

### Mature Hatchling

A small... thing hatched from the egg. It looks like it's made of fabric. Is it alive...? The small thing is floating now! It seems to enjoy hovering around sunny spots.

### Adult

Teruterus are friendly little spirits that are commonly seen on warm, sunny days, frolicking in the bright light. When it rains, though, they are nowhere to be found. Due to this, Ostleans believe seeing Teruterus around means the weather will be good. Their bodies generally have a clothlike texture to them, but it is unknown if they are truly made of cloth or not. Since their diet consists of small pieces of fabrics and cotton, some Ostleans believe they ingest these things to maintain their possible cloth bodies and keep them from getting worn down and tattered.

## Trivia

The Teruteru are based on the Teru teru bōzu from Japanese folklore.

Growth Orb

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

## Description

Something about this verdant orb just makes it feel like it's alive. Some Ostleans like to use them as garden decorations but there are some tales circulating about homes that have vanished and been replaced by vegetation. No one could really believe those silly urban legends, though.

## Effect

The Growth Orb can be used on creatures with an elemental affinity for Earth, 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.

Dead Reign: Sourcebook 3: Endless Dead

**Endless Dead** is the third sourcebook for the **Dead Reign:  Zombie Role-Playing Game**.  It was written by Kevin Siembieda and Matthew Clements and published by **Palladium Books** in May of 2012.

This sourcebook contains horrifying new zombies to haunt player characters along with new character classes (O.C.C.s) and tons of tables for detailing Survivor Hideouts, Safe Haven Communities, Death Cults, military units, military bases and more.  Survival is not enough.  The time for war against the ***Endless Dead*** has come.

Spider Silk

* Normal
* Nightshade (Oddity)

## Nightshade Silk

The **Spider Silk** is a holiday creature released on the 29th of October 2016, as part of the Halloween 2016 event.

## Descriptions

### Egg

You can see something stirring inside this gelatinous, sickly-green egg.

### Hatchling

You find yourself having to constantly keep an eye on the feisty little dragon that hatched from this egg. It's already an adept climber and often tries to hide itself in places that are difficult for you to reach.

### Mature Hatchling

You've now begun to find strands of webbing decorating the hiding places of the hatchling, though you can't find any signs of spiders in the area. The dragon is also developing a set of spines on its head and tail and will display them when it feels threatened.

### Adult

Spider Silks are a small species of dragon with a highly venomous bite. The name originates from their ability to produce a jet of silk from a gland beneath their jaw, which is often used to entangle prey when they hunt. This silk is incredibly strong due to its magical properties, and is easily capable of holding the weight of the adults. Spider Silks make their lairs deep in the heart of the jungle and only venture outside in the middle of the Autumn to breed. They tend to lurk high in the trees, weaving together huge communal nests and feasting on anything unfortunate enough to wander beneath them. It is rumoured that by draping one's self in the silk of this dragon a person can safely pass through their territory, and it has become common practice during the Autumn months for visitors to the jungles to wear costumes woven from this silk to protect them.

Soot-backed Lindwurm

###  Diet

Carnivorous; will eat carrion as well. May occasionally ingest volcanic minerals for scale health

###  Habitat

Volcanic flats where lava flows have taken over and hardened

###  Egg group

Large

**Soot-backed Lindwrums** can be found in Mt. Ekoh. They were released on March 31st, 2017.

## Descriptions

### Egg

This sooty egg has peculiar designs on it.

### Hatchling

A lindwurm hatched from the egg! It has quite the appetite, though it will only eat cooked food for now.

### Mature Hatchling

The lindwurm is now very warm to the touch, and its mouth glows with a burning heat. Anything it bites is guaranteed to be burned; much to its delight, as it tries to burn everything you own, including other hatchlings.

### Adult

Soot-backed Lindwurms are opportunistic predators, and will eat any meat, fresh or rotten. While they aren't fantastic magic-wielders, what magic they do have they use to increase their internal temperature to extreme levels; this makes the lindwurm incredibly dangerous, as a bite can leave a first-degree burn and its blood can sear anything it touches. Some Ostleans will hunt Soot-backed Lindwurms for these properties, using the fiery essence to start fires of all types; others raise them as pets to keep them warm during cold winters, since they don't require a lot of maintenance. Soot-backs require a lot of effort to train however, and as such only experienced creature tamers can bend them to their will.

Potion

A **potion** is an item which can be used on creatures. Potions can be purchased in the Apothecary.

## Transformation potions

The most common type of potion, is the Transformation potion. Transformation potions are items which can be applied to creatures to transform them into their Potion Alt.

### Non-potion transformation items

These are transformation items which aren't technically potions, but are still counted as such because they turn creatures into their Potion Alt. They are acquired and used the same way as normal transformation potions.

### Limited-time transformation potions

Not all potions are available year-round; some are bound to an event. These potions can be purchased during the respective event, but used year-round. This means a potion bought during the Christmas Event can still be used in June, but it will not be possible to buy new potions of that kind at that time.

## Other potions

The second type of potion can be used to affect creatures in some way. Not all of these are technically potions; the Nests, for instance, count as a potion without actually being one.
Ostlea: A Land of Legends

***Ostlea: A Land of Legends*** is one of the books in the Library. At some point in 2015 it was renamed from *Lore & Legends*.

It currently contains three chapters.

## Chapters

### Creation & New Beginnings

*Creation & New Beginnings* tells of the creation of Ostlea. It is the legend of the Sun Phoenix and the Moon Dragon.

### Spring Eggstravaganza Origins

*Spring Eggstravaganza Origins* is the story of how the Spring Festival started. It describes how the first Shelled Duckle was created.

### Sheeplet & Rexling

*Sheeplet & Rexling* is the continuation of Spring Eggstravaganza Origins, and tells of the first time the Shelled Sheeplet and Shelled Rexling were created.

Phantasm Feline

###  Habitat

Dark, dense coniferous forests, usually in cold or mountainous areas. Prefers seclusion.

###  Elemental affinity

Dark
Psy

###  Egg group

Medium

**Phantasm Felines** are cats found in Sunanie Glacier and Elegema Forest. They were part of the opening day release.

## Descriptions

### Egg

This round purple egg is surrounded by an odd, ghostly shape...

### Hatchling

Aw, what a cute little kitten! Though... it meows to itself constantly like it's actually speaking to someone else.

### Mature Hatchling

The kitten appears to have only one set personality now, but now it's enveloped by a strange purple energy. The energy also seems to be alive...

### Adult

Phantasm Felines aren't often seen in the wild, and those who do see them often return with either strange memories of the encounter, or no memories at all. This is due to the phantasm-a peculiar, ghostly energy-that is wrapped around the feline. The feline and its phantasm make an excellent team, especially in battles, as they specialize in illusions, dreams, and magic. While the feline itself can't do much damage with its claws and teeth, it is quite fast, and the phantasm can inflict enemies with horrifying nightmares, hallucinations, and even memory loss. Such creatures are formidable opponents, except for one fatal error; while the phantasm can still exist if the feline lets its mind wander, in order to command it it must be able to focus. If the feline's focus is broken by any means, including the infliction of a head injury, a distraction, or simply not having enough energy for the phantasm to become deadly, the phantasm's strength can weaken, and in serious cases, even dissipate, leaving its owner vulnerable to all attacks. Phantasm Felines though recognize this flaw, and always prefer fleeing over fighting. Many who encounter or provoke them witness the illusionist skills of the phantasm, and once the creature flees, may be left to wander about in the dark without even remembering what they were doing there.

Rat Poison

The **Rat Poison** is an item which can be purchased from the Apothecary.

## Description

Think this'll work to keep the rats away?

## Effect

The Rat Poison can be used on Ash, Snow and Black Velvet Rats. Doing so will change the rat into one of their alternate forms. Once changed, the Rat cannot change back to its previous form. The potion can be used on bred Ash, Snow and Black Velvet Rats.

Only one Rat Poison can be used per Rat, so it is not possible to feed one rat multiple potions to get the desired form.

Trading Post

The **Trading Post** is the on-site hub for trading.

## Description

You've heard of the trading post quite a few times now. It seems like a famous and busy place, as just about everyone knows of it. But it's cooler looking than you expected! Walking into the trading post, you find many deals being struck, while an equal amount of deals are being rejected. The lively place encourages you to perhaps make a trade of your own.

## Areas

The Trading Post is separated into three areas: Start a Trade, View Trade Requests, and Promocodes.

### Start a Trade

The 'Start a Trade' section is, as the name implies, the area to create a new trade. Both private and public trades can be created here.

### View Trade Requests

The 'View Trade Requests' section is where ongoing, cancelled and completed trades can be viewed. Ongoing trades can be cancelled from here.

### Promocodes

The 'Promocodes' section is the area to enter promotional codes.

Shirma Serpen

**Shirma Serpen** can be found in Lyzta's Jungle. They were released on the sixth day of the Creature Symposium 2017.

## Descriptions

### Egg

This smooth, oblong egg is patterned with faint, red rings.

### Hatchling

A lizardlike creature hatched from the egg. It seems to have a small mane and puff of fur on its tail.

### Mature Hatchling

The lizard-like creature has grown bigger, with its tail and mane exploding in red fluff. It tends to scurry up tree branches to watch you from above.

### Adult

Shirma Serpens are mysterious and elusive creatures that spend most of their lives among the treetops. Preferring solitude over the company of others, Shirma Serpens are very territorial and will fight to make sure no other crosses into the area they consider theirs. To mark the borders of their territory, they leave detailed and intricate markings which are then imbued with a mind-altering kind of magic to keep enemies and other creatures alike away. Should an unwanted guest not heed the markings, it would likely find itself confused and disoriented, giving the Shirma Serpens enough time to quickly and effectively knock it out of the treetops.

## Trivia

- Shirma Serpens like to keep themselves well-kept; they spend a fair amount of time grooming the crimson-colored fur that runs along their backs and tail. In fact, coming down to bath in a body of water is one of the few things that will convince a Shirma Serpens into coming down from its comfortable spot up high. Otherwise, they drink water that's collected on leaves and eat insects and small arboreal creatures.

- While Shirma Serpens raised in captivity can be taught to be more comfortable on the ground, they will always be drawn to climbing and most tamers find it difficult to keep one away from the treetops for too long.

- Claws are generally kept sharp for tree climbing and carving intricate runes. If necessary, they will use their claws to fight, but usually as a last resort. They prefer mind games rather than physical fights.

- While the Shirma Serpens are not "true, limbless serpents" like their namesake might imply, they are very snakelike in behavior and thus are sometimes referred to as "limbed serpents".

Pastel Plushie

The **Pastel Plushie** is a special version of the Enchanted Plushie. It is available from the Menagerie during the Easter month. They were released during the March 2016 Seasonal Release, along with the Rat Poison potion for the Rats.

## Descriptions

### Egg

This egg feels like soft cotton and is brightly colored.

### Hatchling

The egg has become a little hatchling! It seems like a plushie, but it loves to sort through your clothes, almost as though it's assessing your wardrobe.

### Mature Hatchling

The plush hatchling has grown a lot larger, and much to your dismay, has taken to tearing up your furniture and clothing. It hasn't been eating what it destroys though, instead it's just accumulated an entire rainbow's worth of brightly colored fabric.

### Adult

While it's debatable, many believe Pastel Plushies to be just as destructive as their Possessed Dracodoll cousins. However, they take after their minty relatives in the sense that their intentions are for the sake of gifting and spreading joy to those around them. Pastel Plushies will spend hours gathering up various articles of colorful clothing, only to rip them to shreds for the sake of magically crafting egg plushies. When they're finished, they'll spend an equal amount of time hiding the eggs for their owners to find, and usually won't stop pestering their owner until the eggs are located.

Shelled Rexling

* Normal
* Dark (Oddity)

## Dark Shelled Rexling

**Shelled Rexlings** are one of the three Shelled creatures released during the Spring Festival 2016. Players had to collect items and craft them into the creature. The other two Shelled creatures released at this time are the Shelled Duckle and Shelled Sheeplet.

## Descriptions

### Egg

It's a lump of clay... It seems to be surrounded in a magical aura.

#### Last two cracks

The strange clay has taken on the shape of an egg.

### Hatchling

The egg has cracked and a scaly crimson tail has emerged from the egg. You can hear muffled growls from inside the shell.

### Mature Hatchling

The dinosaur's scaled legs and snout have popped out of the egg! Oddly enough, it still hasn't fully left the shell, and doesn't seem intent on doing so.

### Adult

Shelled Rexlings are a unique species of creature native to the lands of Ostlea. These dinosaurs are created from a combination of special magic, materials, and tender care during the Spring Festival. Because of this, Shelled Rexlings are an entirely domestic species and cannot be found in the wild unless released by their crafter or other unfortunate circumstances have taken place. While these reptiles might appear to be hostile from their constant streams of growls and chirped roars, this is simply the means by which they communicate. In fact, Shelled Rexlings are quite sweet and friendly and enjoy the company of others.

Stocking

The **Stocking** 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

This red stocking seems to be holding some goodies inside... Hopefully nothing feet-related. This item can be sold for 3000 silver.

## Effect

The Stocking is a junk item and can therefore not be used. It can be sold from the inventory for 3000.

## Trivia

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

Tenos

**Tenos** are jellyfish-like creatures found in Scylla's Cove. They were released during the December 2016 Release. It is the second creature ever to not have a separate hatchling and mature hatchling stage, with the Jewelviper being the first.

## Descriptions

### Egg

You can just barely see something in this gelatinous egg.

### Hatchling

You have a hard time seeing the tiny, partially transparent creature that hatched from the egg. It darts rapidly through the water, catching tiny prey with long tentacles.

### Adult

Tenos normally survive in deeper waters where their half-transparent, thin bodies are nigh impossible to see. When light is shone on them, the tiny rows of cilia on their bodies glint with rainbow brilliance. Although among the simplest creatures, tenos seem to display a peculiar knack for finding shipwrecks. Large groups of these creatures gather near broken ships on the seafloor, feasting on the abundance of prey there. Divers describe it as an eerie sight when a group of delicate tenos descends on a sad, broken wreck.

Storm Herald

**Storm Heralds** are creatures found in the Shop for 2000 per egg. They were released during the Easter 2016 Release, and are the Spring 2016 seasonal creature. The Lepin was released alongside them.

## Descriptions

### Egg

This enormous, scaly egg has a faintly floral aroma.

### Hatchling

With one large, unblinking, jewel-like eye in the center of its forehead and what looks to be some kind of flower bud sprouting from its back, this gargantuan, insectile hatchling certainly looks odd. Its demeanor is very gentle, though, and it seems eager to try out its delicate wings.

### Mature Hatchling

The hatchling has grown to be too large to even fit in your house! With its latest molt, vibrant colors have appeared on its scales and wings, and the bud on its back has blossomed into an impressive bloom. The flower is gorgeous and gives off a wonderful aroma, but you've noticed a dramatic uptick in the frequency of rainstorms ever since it bloomed. The hatchling has also managed to sucessfully take flight, and hasn't landed since.

### Adult

Storm Heralds are behemoths of the air, their wings large enough to plunge entire villages into shadow when they pass overhead. Usually solitary, they spend the majority of their time floating serenely above the rolling grasslands they prefer, bringing with them the storms many residents of drier lands rely on. The immense flowers that sprout from their shoulders release a fine pollen when they bloom, which, once in the air, has the curious effect of spawning thunderstorms. Once every few decades, however, the arrival of spring brings more than mere thunderstorms. Male Storm Heralds, seeking a female, will summon lighting storms of monstrous proportions and set ablaze large swathes of the grasslands beneath them. Swooping ever closer to the flames, the firelight reflecting on their iridescent belly scales will either dazzle the female they pursue, or in their desperation, they will perish in the blaze.

## Trivia

According to Wilhelm, Storm Heralds were inspired partially by trilobite beetles and by the Monster Hunter monster Amatsumagatsuchi.

Storm Heralds communicate with whale-like noises, similar to the sounds in this video.

Hey everyone! I'd like to welcome you all to Ostlea! It's been a long wait, but I think it's been worth it, hopefully you'll like what you see. I just have a few things I'd like to address.

Bug/Gliches and Exploitation: We're a new site as you all know so we're bound to have some issues so I'm asking that you please report them when you find them and if you find something exploitable report it directly to me, you will be rewarded.  We're also still in the process of tweaking some things so please bear with us.

Newbie Guide: Im afraid I didn't get to finish it in time, so please take advantage of our help forum should you get lost or confused and I'll finish the guide as soon as I am able to!

Things to Come: We have some plans for a Battle System, new areas, summoning features, and Mini Games for you all to look forward to in the (hopefully) near future, in the meantime there's plenty of beautiful creatures for you to collect!

Interested in working on Ostlea? Message me, tell me about yourself, your skills, and some examples and we'll talk.

That's about it. Thank you all for joining and I hope you have fun!

Ostlea Petting Zoo Dynasty

The **Ostlea Petting Zoo Dynasty** is a Yarolds group especially for Tales of Ostlea members. It was founded on the 14th of May 2016, and announced to the members on the 28th of May, in the Spring Festival announcement.

## Restrictions

While many Yarolds dynasties have certain demands for the amount of links a user must click in a day, the Ostlea Petting Zoo has no such thing. Members will not be removed from the dynasty if they do not reach any sort of minimum clicks in a day. In fact the only way a member is removed from the dynasty, is automatically by the Yarolds system in case of general account inactivity.

## Links

While the dyasty is aimed at Tales of Ostlea members, links to other pet sites are also allowed. It is requested that members have one Tales of Ostlea creature linked at all times, but not at all a requirement.

## Alliances

The Ostlea Petting Zoo has forged alliances with many of the other Yarolds dynasties, and is always looking to ally with more.

Stalk

###  Diet

Hatchlings only need water, soil, and occasional sunlight. Adults are carnivorous, feeding mostly on insects and rodents but they will tackle much larger prey in packs. They can also absorb sunlight for an extra energy boost

###  Habitat

They prefer jungle areas with dense foliage, particularly if there are lots of flowering plants and shadowy areas to hide in

###  Egg group

Medium

**Stalks** are creatures found in Lyzta's Jungle. They were released on the third day of the Creature Symposium 2017.

## Descriptions

### Egg

The outer shell of this colourful egg seems to be peeling away at the top.

Oops, looks like this was actually a seed. You can now see a little stem poking out of the top.

### Hatchling

A strange-looking flower has bloomed from the seed that you found. It smells lovely, but you could swear you've seen it twitch out of the corner of your eye.

### Mature Hatchling

A strange-looking flower has bloomed from the seed that you found. It smells lovely, but you could swear you've seen it twitch out of the corner of your eye. The 'flower' is definitely moving now, and will snap at any creature that gets too close to it with the new fangs it has developed. It also appears to be uprooting itself from the ground.

### Adult

Stalks are an unusual combination of plant and animal, starting life as a benign-looking flower and developing more and more animalistic traits as they reach adulthood. As they mature they will pull their own roots out of the ground, causing them to twist and form into clawed limbs so they can manoeuvre through the dense foliage and tree branches of their jungle home. Though not particularly strong or fast they have incredible endurance, and have been known to form large packs and follow after prey for days on end until it collapses from exhaustion. They have no eyes or ears to speak of, but can sense minute vibrations and scents in the air with long, thin tendrils that produce from their bodies. These plants are capable of producing a variety of different fragrances and pheromones, so it is believed that by smell is the primary way that these plants communicate with each other.

## Trivia

- There is constant debate over whether to classify Stalks as a plant or an animal, as they share traits with both. Recent observations suggest that it depends on what stage they are in during their life cycle, meaning that they are considered plants until they uproot and begin to actively hunt.

- Stalks have no distinguishable gender, but will assume either a male or female role as they mature. Environmental influences such as temperature and availability of food appear to be factors in this decision.

- Their predatory behaviour evolved from a lack of sunlight in areas of the jungle, forcing the species to find alternative sources of energy.

- A sweet scent, often comparable to peaches, is produced when a Stalk is following prey. The stronger the smell, the more Stalks are present in the area.

- Smoke is a well-known method of warding off Stalks, as they fear the smell of it.

Sunanie Glacier

**Sunanie Glacier** is one of the biomes. It is sometimes referred to as the Glacier.

## Description

As you walk, little flurries of snow start descending from above. The ground is starting to become slippery, too. Continuing your travels, the snow only gets heavier and heavier and can no longer be called flurries. After what seems like forever, the snow makes an abrupt stop. You lift your head up to find a beautiful land of ice that gives off a vibe of magic. There seems to be eggs around the area as well.

Will you take one?
