They say you should sing to plants. Helps them grow, or so I’ve heard. Whoever says that has clearly never faced the ordeal of staring down the plant of dubious origin growing in your house and and submitting yourself to the humiliation of its silent judgement. The plant seemed to enjoy it this time, based on the aura of smug satisfaction, but I can’t tell if it likes half-remembered zee shanties or watching me make a fool of
myself. See more posts like this on Tumblr
The world is home to myriad forms of flora and fauna, from the familiar lands of the Surface to the dark caverns of the Neath to the winding possibilities of Parabola to the icy winds of the High Wilderness. The following is a bestiary of these creatures, and is currently UNDER CONSTRUCTION. Assorted Animals[]The animals of the Neath aren't usually all too different from their Surface counterparts, but they're often much more intelligent for one, and some can even talk. A few species can even form societies of their own, which may coexist or even compete with human ones. Unless otherwise stated, most animals that display strange traits in the Neath also show these traits in the High Wilderness. For example, in the heavens, rats are still as chatty as ever.
In the Company of Monsters[]The Neath is home to far more than ordinary animals, however, and many of these creatures have more to them than meets the eye.
Whitsun Creatures[]Whitsun is a festival marked by the sudden appearence of many bizarre eggs appearing all over Fallen London. These eggs may hatch a wide variety of strange and interesting creatures, and when "augmented", these creatures may hatch significantly changed or empowered. UNDER CONSTRUCTION Humanoids[]There are many beings in the Neath who appear to have humanoid forms. These beings may be former humans themselves, or are something else entirely.
Zee-Monsters[]The Unterzee is practically overflowing with creatures and monsters unlike any on the Surface. These beasts are called zee-monsters, and many are (relatively) docile unless someone crosses into their territory, but others may attack with little to no provocation. Preparing for these encounters is an important priority for any zailing crew worth its salt, lest their proud ship be reduced to scraps of rusted metal and devoured bodies.
Deep Zee-Monsters[]Did you really think that diving below the Unterzee's black waves would save you from its denizens? If anything, the monsters that roam the zee-floor are even more dangerous than their surface-swimming counterparts.
Hellish Fauna[]The Devils and Grand Devils weren't the first beings to settle in Hell. Many creatures made their homes in Hell prior to their occupation, and they've adapted quite nicely to the fiery climate.
Parabolan Wildlife[]Parabola is a vast realm located beyond the mirrors, operating on the volatile and inconsistent logic of dreams. It has its fair share of native species, many of which resemble bizarre and unique variations of Surface or Neathy beings, and these creatures may possess strange supernatural powers.
Shapelings[]Shapelings are mysterious creatures that hail from the lost planet of Axile. Londoners may recognize the Rubbery Men, and seasoned zailors may recognize the Lorn-Fluke, Dawn Fluke, and Lornest Fluke, but there exist other, less well-known shapelings, many of which roam the amber-encrusted depths of Flute Street.
Sky-Beasts[]The expanses of the High Wilderness are teeming with life, most of which is either capable of flight, or seeking the means to. The skyfarers of New London may have their sky-locomotives armed to the teeth with weapons, but even then, they are often still threatened by powerful sky-beasts. UNDER CONSTRUCTION
