The beebles and other insectoids of the Kiah rainforests are practically innumerable, but unique among them is the dyno beeble; it has formed a symbiotic relationship with a species of moss which grows on its thorax. The beeble provides a safe, moist environment for the moss to grow, keeping it free of predation, and the moss provides the beeble with excellent camouflage on the forest floor. Although this insect has a fearsome appearance, it is truly slow moving and gentle, feeding on leaf litter and other detritus.

This social avian can be found in the canopies in the Nuii region of the Kiah rainforests, where it feeds on fruit and nuts in large flocks. Its powerful bill can crack open even the most difficult nuts and rinds. The teropita's long tail makes an excellent rudder during flight, and the claws on its wings are used to grip and climb through branches to reach its food. Unfortunately, the Nuiian teropita has been difficult to find, and may be critically endangered.

This nocturnal vertebrate, known as a volan, is a proficient glider that makes its home among Kiah's dense canopies. Using its prehensile tail to rest safely during the day, its fur, containing special endosymbiotic plant cells, both camouflages it and provides energy via photosynthesis. At night, it glides between trees, seeking out night-blooming flowers that it feeds on the nectar from with its long tongue.
