All that remains of this animal is its skeleton shell, known as a test. The two holes at the bottom and top were the entry and exit for its digestive tract, respectively.

Nicknamed the Celestial Horn, it’s said that if you hold this shell to your ear you can hear a cosmic song. This is due to its unique spiral shape that amplifies ambient sounds.

The mollusk that lived in this shell produced a specific type of calcium carbonate along the interior called nacre. Highly prized for its iridescent sheen, these shells are often used in crafting jewelry.

It’s believed the spines of this shell are used to prevent these organisms from sinking into soft mud and sands and provide defense from surging waves. It may also provide good defense from predators. Vacant now, you’re happy all the spines are still intact.

Carried up from the waves, this beautiful fragment of coral is actually part of the organism's skeleton! It’s color comes from the many types of algae that colonize its structure, providing energy to the coral itself.

Commonly referred to as seaweed, it is in fact a type of marine red algae! Most often recognized for its culinary applications, red algae finds itself in everything from textiles, cosmetics or even medical applications for its unique attributes.

This small animal feeds entirely on holoplankton, taking in huge gulps of water and expelling it through their dorsal branchia. This process filters out their prey and allows them to easily feed without inhibiting their respiration. They tend to be fairly docile, and are highly social with other kogii.

Highly cooperative, the alona is an intelligent invertebrate. Both its tail and front tentacles are extremely dexterous; the rear one is used to grasp vegetation to remain anchored for sleeping or ambush hunting, and the front tentacles operate as grasping appendages, but also as sensory organs capable of detecting electromagnetic fields.

These hardy slugs spend their time scouring the ocean floor for their preferred benthic food: algae and other microscopic plant material! Slow moving, they make up for it by producing an incredibly sticky mucus from the antennae-like structures located across its body, allowing the boolew to escape most confrontations with predators.

This large, amphibious animal spends much of its time in the shallows of rivers and other bodies of water throughout the rainforests of Kiah. A voracious predator, it will eat anything it can fit in its mouth, and its efficient digestive system renders it immune to poisonous prey. The sail on its back is collapsible, and mainly used for threat or mating displays.

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.
