Scorchplains

Floor Seven

A massive floor, some ten thousand feet long, with a low ceiling littered with stalactites. The floor is made of interlocking pillars of basalt, all of varying heights so it's never smooth. Littered over the ground are pools of lava and furrows of on-fire coal with belching smoke. No light sources, only darkness and smog, with small oases of water-filled algae for sustenance.

Flora

Fire-Tongue Flower - Uncommon - Schema

  • From birth, each flower catches on fire to dissuade hungry creatures; as they burn, the smoke carries away their seeds.

  • Low-growing shrubs. Charcoal green leaves. Large, red-black blooms, slowly burning and releasing smoke laced with pollen and leaves. 

  • No known evolutions.


 

Green Algae - Common - Schema

  • It grows without the need of sunlight but instead only water, and even then it consumes little. Excess water spills over its interconnected webs, creating an oasis for hungry creatures.

  • Small, bright green, stringy, and often covered in water. Very similar to Earth's algae. 

  • Evolves into Thornwhip Algae.

 

​

Houndspore - Rare

  • In partnership with carnivorous brethren, it has grown into a worthy ally. Its bulbous form billows constant spores that can grow on the fur of passing beasts, hardening into protective armour in return for living off some portion of its nutrients.

  • Bulbous, organic masses growing over the back of hounds, mottled grey-black. Not pleasant to look at. 

  • Evolves from Lacecap.

​
 

Lacecap - Uncommon - Schema

  • Learning from the spiders surrounding it, this mushroom trades its pacifism for sticky webs that trail to the ground, trapping small insects to serve as bait for larger creatures.

  • Less than a foot tall and half a foot in diameter. Has a large cap with gills that extend to the ground in a lace-like pattern, covered in a sticky bile to catch insects. 

  • Evolves from Whitecap Mushroom.

  • Evolves into Houndspore and Reaper's Cap.


 

Whitecap Mushroom - Common - Schema

  • They thrive in damp, dark places. When they can't grow on dirt or other high-nutrient substances, they will grow from the back of algae, lichen, or moss.

  • Less than a foot tall and a few inches in diameter. Very thin with a narrow cap, pure white, fragile and very nutrient rich.

  • Evolves into Lacecap.

Fauna

Blazebane Wolf - Uncommon

  • It hunts alongside its brethren, using its blazing bite and smoky breath to choke out all challengers, taking great pride in protecting its pack and providing for them.

  • ?

  • Evolves from Scorch Hound. 

 

​

Bounding Deer - Common - Schema

  • Traveling in herds, they flee at the slightest sign of danger with wild, extensive leaps, carrying them far from the threat. If needed, they can defend themselves with their branching antlers, but they much prefer to run.

  • Six feet tall at the shoulder, grey-brown fur on top and white underneath. Ivory antlers branching in all directions. Black edged ears. Wide eyes. 

  • Evolves into Bounding Moose and Cinderhoof Deer.

 

​

Bounding Moose - Uncommon

  • Size and strength rise higher. It towers above its previous form, poised to trample over any that could threaten its peaceful life.

  • ?

  • Evolves from Bounding Deer.

​

​

Cinderhoof Deer - Uncommon

  • Running is no longer enough. Its hooves spark embers as it runs, and its fireproof fur will carry the flames wherever it goes. Any predators seeking a large meal will find themselves caught in the blaze should they threaten this herd.

  • ?

  • Evolves from Bounding Deer.

​

​

Kobold Tamer - Rare

  • Its tribe is no longer its loyalty; instead, it thrives in the wilderness, teaming up with beasts of all types to hunt and fight alongside them, providing intelligence and earning a family in return.

  • ?

  • Evolves from Kobold.

​

​

Magma Salamander - Rare - Schema

  • A beast of fire and flame, it lives deep in the only caverns that will survive it. It ever-hunts for volcanic salvation, where it can submerge itself in true molten stone—none have ever emerged unchanged from this. It is not known what happens, only that something does.

  • Four-five feet long, deep orange porous skin studded with crags of hardened stone. A heavy, boxed head, enormous tail, and dull black eyes. 

  • No known evolutions. 


 

Mottled Scorpion - Uncommon - Schema

  • iding under rubble or leaf, it waits with an all-encompassing patience for victims to fall prey to its barbed tail. In times of hunger, it leaves its disguise and hunts as a scavenger, feasting on the dead.

  • Three-four feet in diameter. Dappled brown-green carapace, squat, heavily armoured. Large claws and tail. 

  • No current evolutions. 

 

 

Orthrus - Rare

  • Its mind has grown beyond its form; by splitting into two heads, it is able to charge forward with an intelligence past its peers. It sees the world around as something to understand and conquer, teaming up with all manner of species to be unstoppable.

  • ?

  • Evolves from Scorch Hound.

​
 

Scorch Hound - Rare - Schema

  • One of a large family of elemental hounds, it hunts in massive packs, chasing prey many times their size without fear. They target their burning bites at their prey's weak points, slowing them down for an easy kill.

  • Four feet tall. Mostly auburn fur with black streaks over paws and spine. Obsidian horns twisted around ears. Ember eyes. 

  • No known evolutions. 

 

​

Seekspine Lizard - Rare

  • It has watched and learned from the master. Its spines are no longer guided by aim; instead, its mana fires them directly to its target, regardless of difficulty.

  • ?

  • Evolves from Spined Lizard.


 

Spined Lizard - Common - Schema

  • Curiosity rarely a long-lived creature makes, but being armed with launchable spines and the aim of a champion gives this creature a fighting chance. They scuttle through forests and caverns alike, feasting on whatever they find. 

  • Gold-brown scales with black-white spines clustered on their back. Forked blue tongues. Hooked claws and long tails. Grey-black eyes. 

  • Evolves into Seekspine Lizard.
