《Yvitril - Book One: Runeskin》Worldbuilding - Fauna/Flora

Bobble
A small, squishy little jellyfish-like creature that floats in currentless bodies of water. It has an air sac on top of a small plate-like middle section. Below the water it extends thin glowing strands that have a dull paralysis poison that is only strong enough to stun small fish or other aquatic creatures. The strands also serve as a deterrent to larger aquatic predators, and it has a foul bitter taste to dissuade land predators. It is also odorless. They give off a slight glow at night, and the bubble on top retracts into the plate section when it is touched.
Brackin
An insect-like creature that has 10 legs. It has a flat body and two little antennae-like eyes, a mouth on its underside, and a long pointy tail that does not have much mobility. It has a segmented body that has a hard exoskeleton carapace. It is an herbivore and practically harmless. It's main form of defense is the very leaf-like mold on its upper carapace. It often has a small flower growing out of the center. When threatened it will hold completely still, no matter how much it is pestered.
Light bugs (need name)
Small Firefly-like bugs that are attracted to the jingling sound of small bells, can be a light source if you trap some in a lantern that has bells in it. Can open lantern and let them out if you have bells on a string.
Fylerius
A very unique and mesmerising plant that goes through multiple cycles. When it grows, it sprouts straight up from the root as a stem. The stem then recedes a bit at the top, and another smaller, more complex stem with thousands of tiny seeds stuck to it grows out. This intricate smaller stem then expands outward to form a sticky membrane “orb” of sorts, which will allow the seeds to be either blown away, or picked up by the local fauna and transported. After a few days, the orb dissipates and the Fylerius flower buds from the original stem. It’s said to be one of the most beautiful flowers on Yvitril. It only blooms for a single day, and then wilts and the cycle restarts.

Skin-Flayer (needs full name)
An incredibly carnivorous, dangerous and feared plant that grows in the plains of Elsavas. It’s rare, but it has a huge reputation. It’s a large plant, with the center being roughly the size of a small human child. The center of the plant is a “mouth” of sorts, which opens and closes. Connected to, and extending from the mouth center of the plant are several (up to 10) long and winding tentacles. These tentacles have thousands of tiny barb-wire “hairs” on each that hook pray, and the name Skin-Flayer comes from the plant’s incredibly quick reaction time to something being caught on its barbed tentacles. As soon as an animal gets stuck to one of the tentacles, it retracts them all at blinding speeds and a lot of the time it rips the skin clean off of whatever it catches. If a human were to grab onto one of the tentacles, or step on one with a bare foot, they could easily lose the skin that made contact and sometimes more.

RakhtaBhushan (Blood Ornament)
[This book has been contracted elsewhere, which is why I am not updating any more. Please contact me if you want to continue reading the story.] God King Arya defeats Agni Asura Yaman. Two hundred years later, Asura Yaman reincarnates as golden prince, Suryadev, of RakhtaPrastha. Once he comes of age, a darkness begins to lurk in his dreams. Flashbacks from his past life erode his mind, his fate "unforeseen by the gods." As he seeks to heal, his path entwines with Vidyut, his long time rival. Hardened by the cruelties of life, Vidyut embraces the dark art of Tantra, for which he is both rejected and coveted by the people of the five kingdoms. Meanwhile, the kingdom of RakhtaPrastha is facing political turmoil and rival kingdoms, while the animosity between God King Arya and Yaman/Surya's supporter, Goddess Dimuka, is spilling into the human world. Princes, Spells, Gods, Spirits, Heaven, Mythical creatures, Wars, and Reincarnation, and so much more. It is based on Indian mythology, specifically Hindu mythology. But it is an original fantasy and focus is character arcs. It has BL/Gay content. Most Surya-Vidyut interactions are in the chapters marked Surya or Vidyut. The romance in this story is slowburn. **Daily Chapter Release** Cover Art Disclaimer: The cover art is using an image from Pinterest. The art has been kindly created by Ben Arisson.

Notebook of possibilities
First of all, to those who started reading this I want to apologize. While it does have a ring of a nice story title, this is going to be a place where I take the Sparks of interest from other stories or random ideas and just put it down, I'm not sure how exactly but the title should summarize the basics of what is held within. To say it's a waste isn't accurate, to ask the question why is a good start, why would I want this? Because when I read a story I want to think of so many things I may see or find in the world they envision, all the possibilities that could come about, and maybe, just maybe, some author out there can get their hands on this and it will be a spark of creativity for them to make a new chapter and see their world even a smidge closer to what I think it could be. It is tagged as fanfiction for it will pertain to numerous stories, not simply one in particular. Currently it will include; Oblivion Online Dungeon Heart And many more to be listed as they appear.
