✦ Chickaroo
These fluffy birds are covered in soft, downy feathers that offer both protection and warmth. They're incredibly cute and relaxing to be around but not that bright as they'll wander right into danger without realization!
Special form: "The Rooster" is a particularly dangerous, massive, dragon-like chickaroo that no one quite understands. It's aggressive, foul-tempered and is more than happy to attack any Aluri that draws its attention. It is quite possessive of the chickaroos it guards. |
✦ LuminThese little rodents can be both a blessing and a curse to an Aluri. They're small, cute and friendly and make great pets, consuming light to glow. In smaller numbers, both Aluri and Lumin benefit from a mutual relationship but if their numbers grow too great, they can start causing damage to the material around them or consume too much light. As such, their numbers must be managed. Their unintelligent nature has resulted in a saying, "they're like a Lumin, bright in nature but not so bright in the head!"

✦ MiniCore
Many an Aluri has complained of a feeling of being watched while wandering alone in the forests, and even caught sight of a glowing grin in the dark... it is believed now that these stories tell of encounters with MiniCore, whose mouths, throats and tails may glow after a meal thanks to their diet of Lumins.
MiniCores are small but ferocious hunters, easily distinguishable from the common cat by their small bat wings, and their venomous stinger tail. Recently brought to Eyre by Lachlan, and then promptly having escaped from Lachlan, they are quite helpful in controlling Lumin populations, but their typically voracious appetites and foul temperaments when hungry along with their venom-filled tails can make them difficult to keep for the average Aluri. |
✦ Zwiebling
The faint smell of garlic is evident that Zwieblings are present in the area, along with sticky webbing that can benefit both the little arachnid and the Aluri that own them.
These laidback little spiders resemble a head of garlic, and even lightly emanate the pungent smell of one! These little creatures' venom is harmless to Aluri aside from a small, itchy bite that disappears within a few hours. They can be of great use to Aluri as a pet, particularly gardeners as their webs will easily ensnare an unsuspecting insect. Its favorite target are yardors and should one be lucky enough to make such a catch, they'll go into a food coma for the day. Wild zwieblings are frequently found in wild garlic patches and less commonly amongst other kinds of flora, though many have made their way into the city as well. |
