The Wildlife of the First Level

WILDLIFE

Project Aubade has many ecosystems, each with strange creatures and plants unseen before in the outside world. They were created by a MoTHER design team, and range from cute to cool to ugly to dangerous. This thread is dedicated to telling you all the known creatures and plants added to the world of project Aubade, including those in the base game and any added in the future.

Betaflies
Location: everywhere

Betaflies are named after their introduction as the first creatures in the beta stage of Project Aubade, as well as their simplistic design that reflects the unfinished nature of the "game;" A close inspection shows their body to be metallic and faceless, their wings glassy and smooth.. The abundance of Betaflies is notable, and their resilience has made them quite revered and beloved around the world. No matter how difficult the conditions, it is possible to find a few of these floating around.

Betaflies are harmless and a lot friendlier than their real-life counterparts; they will land on your finger more often than not if you hold it out for them. You can't kill them; don't try.

Encrypted
Location: everywhere

Encrypted are rare humanoid creatures that can appear on any level. They are a glitch in the game, caused when an avatar does not disappear after its inhabitant gets killed for good. The empty husk, its code and body half-erased by the system, wanders around and attacks people in blind confusion. They may look like the person they once were, but they are not.

Nymeria
Location: Maeko Forest

Nymeria are large forest creatures. They have a humanoid, bipedal body with skin like wood, making them good at camouflaging themselves and easy to mistake as a tree. Their head resembles that of a wolf. Nymeria are hunt during the night, and are more hostile during this period of time.

Fawni
Location: Maeko Forest

Fawni are peaceful, intelligent, bipedal creatures that primarily live in Maeko Forest. They are rare to find, not due to their scarcity; they are incredibly shy and nimble. All Fawni appear in their adolescence, even though their lifespan can exceed 500 years.

Boswin
Location: Maeko Forest

Boswin are large, lumbering creatures, relatively few in the game. They are very powerful, but only attack when provoked, namely if someone attacks them first, if someone approaches them aggressively, or if someone is near their nesting grounds. Boswin are intelligent, and it is said you can gain the trust of one forever if you earn it.

Wicken
Location: everywhere

Wicken were once human, or so they say. The forest has clung to them so much as to become a part of them, morphing them. They are powerful mages, ones who can often still speak. Some of mean, some are nice.

Mist Dragon
Location: Dragon Falls

People who whisper that the mists of Dragon Falls are alive are correct, to an extent. Some of the fog that overlays the area are the bodies of Mist Dragons, mischievous creatures who do not have much of a bite. They do their damage by scaring and/or blowing people off the cliffs of Dragon Falls as they fly through them.

Arachabula
Location: Maeko Forest, Roslare

A large, ominous-looking spider that hangs from trees and alleyways in Roslare. A bite from one of these will slowly deplete your HP until it hits zero, unless you use a potion (any potion). These spiders are highly territorial.
