Foreas is a lush, forested planet, much like the Tropical Rainforest's of Earth and a large variety of life, both flora an fauna, are abundant on Foreas. Streams and lakes dot the landscape as well. Many pools can be found in secluded valleys or peaceful hilltops. Waterfalls are frequent. Lakes of some size are not uncommon.The sky in Foreas is dominated by a bright orange sun, which sustains the thick foliage on the planet.
Boargar – Somewhat similar to Earth boars, these stout four-legged creatures burrow under the roots of trees for shelter and feed off various forms of foliage and small insects. They are practically blind and use radar with their Aura Viscus, an organ located between their horns, to sense surroundings and food. In fact, Boargar radar can be extremely powerful, is detectable by Human ears, and is capable of stunning large prey (even humanoids) before charging.
Filchers – One of Foreas’ most common scavengers is a species of bird, called the Filcher. Bright, shiny objects generally catch the attention of Filchers, and they highly value collecting “trophies” from the battlefield. Filchers aren’t aggressive enough to attack anything that can fight back, but may be caught grasping all sorts of randomly useful goods.
Miasma – Mysterious to even the Foreans, Miasma are one of the original species of Foreas. They take on the appearance of shadowy, ethereal creatures, composed of gasses and various micro-organisms found near decaying material. They can be found deep in the forests or down in Foreas’ caverns, but will aggressively attack in swarms any intruders that get too close.
Treebacks – Another indigenous creature of Foreas, Treebacks are the largest spcies native to the planet. They can grow to be several meters tall and a dozen meters long, moving about on four legs with a severely hunched back. Found dwelling in marshy, wooded areas, Treebacks may slumber for years at a time (during which other creatures or plants may nest on top of the Treeback). Given its size, Treebacks are slow, ponderous creatures but shouldn’t be taken likely, as anyone venturing too close risks getting trampled by these large beasts.
Tree Lurkers – The perennial boogeyman of Foreas, the Tree Lurkers are aggressive carnivores that inhabit the branches of trees, watch for prey to pass below, and then pounce on them. They even physically resemble trees in some ways and Forean elders typically use Tree Lurkers to frighten their young with stories of abductions. Unfortunately, Tree Lurkers are very real and are a frequent hazard to unsuspecting travelers in Foreas’ forests.
Warnet – Winged insects that resemble large wasps, Warnet homes resemble honeycombed crystals known as Hermetium, which generate a highly sought-after source of energy. Long-term exposure to this energy has made the Warnets unusually powerful for their size, and their mandibles are quite strong. Worse, they can deliver a nasty energy shock to their victim when they bite, and when the Queen dies the swarm will commit mass explosive suicide (which is generally unpleasant to be around).
