Thornette
A bramble-born fawn that naps in fern curls.
Becomes Thornhart at level 8.
The bestiary
Seventy-five elementals, and none of them asked to be here.
Every creature in the realm, straight out of the game's own data — so this page is never out of date with what you'd actually meet. 25 lines of them evolve.
The pictures are concept plates: the drawings each in-game model was built from, front and side. Press one to see it larger. Three are still waiting on a plate and show their true colours instead.
Showing all 75 elementals.
Bramblyn
A thorn-backed bear; grows a bramble ring for every meadow it guards.
Becomes Runewarden at level 17. Grown from Mossling.
Thornhart
The fawn grown tall. Its rack branches like the canopy it was born under, and it lowers that crown for nothing.
Grown from Thornette.
Mossling
A cub of moss and wet bark, forever digging up what the forest buried.
Becomes Bramblyn at level 8.
Runewarden
Stone plating grown through with root, every seam lit by a rune the forest cut itself. It remembers which groves were taken.
Grown from Bramblyn.
Cindra
A fox kindled from struck flint. Sulks in the rain.
Becomes Vulpyre at level 8.
Pyrelle
Where this firebird dances, the night forgets to be cold.
Becomes Magnareth at level 18.
Dewlet
A paddling turtle that keeps one dewdrop from every dawn it survives.
Becomes Tidelia at level 8.
Tidelia
Ponds deepen quietly wherever this reef-shelled elder lingers.
Grown from Dewlet.
Zephyri
Nobody has ever seen this little wren hold still. Nobody.
Becomes Galewing at level 9.
Galewing
A falcon that rides the storm-front like a skipping stone.
Grown from Zephyri.
Lumeen
A lantern-bellied moth. Other moths adore it; it finds this embarrassing.
Becomes Aurelume at level 9.
Solriel
An owl that wears a sliver of noon as a halo.
Umbrel
Not evil — just a bat fond of long shadows and secrets.
Becomes Noctrel at level 9.
Nyxara
A panther that keeps the last hour of dusk folded under one wing.
Koirin
A koi that swam UP the great waterfall once, and never quite came down.
Aeloon
A jellyfish of the updrafts. Rains very small, very confused rain.
Emberit
Suns itself on wet stones just to hear them hiss.
Lumignis
Lights the spray of the falls at dusk, one blink at a time.
Boulderk
A gorilla of living scree, gold in its cracks. Wingbeats sound like landslides.
Becomes Peakon at level 12.
Peakon
It stood so long on the crown of the peak that the peak became part of it.
Grown from Boulderk.
Cragwolf
Hunts the ridgelines on wings of slate. Its howl starts small rockslides.
Becomes Slatemaw at level 13.
Slatemaw
Warden of the high passes; its stare has turned more than one thief to gravel.
Grown from Cragwolf.
Murmuri
A drifting mote of someone else's dream. Hums half-remembered lullabies.
Becomes Somnara at level 14.
Oracula
An owl that blinks a moment before anything happens. It is never surprised.
Skitterix
Nests in whatever it just knocked over. The goblins won't confess who tamed whom.
Becomes Clatterix at level 15.
Havokrin
Where it paces, straight lines reconsider. Corrosion won't touch it — professional courtesy.
Voltik
Chews on festival lantern-wire when nobody's looking. Everyone knows it's him.
Becomes Voltrine at level 15.
Fulgora
Walks two heartbeats ahead of its own thunder. Insufferable about it.
Fernwick
Stitches its nests from dropped ribbons and stolen party invitations.
Becomes Sylvaris at level 15.
Sylvaris
The oldest boughs bow slightly when it lands. The elves pretend not to notice.
Grown from Fernwick.
Mossbrow
Moss grows on it because it has never once hurried. Birds nest in the moss.
Eldarch
Less a elemental than a place the forest keeps its patience. It remembers acorns by name.
Mother Quill
The last, oldest tree elemental. She does not fight to win.
Abyssara
Older than the word for ocean. Surfaces once a century, to check.
Lumendra
The abyss's own nightlight. Whole species navigate by it and it has never once minded.
Thessaly
She remembers the day the green first showed on the surface. She was already old then.
★★★
Verdigris
Not a elemental. A wound, wearing the rough shape of one.
Magnareth
It nests in the throat of the mountain. When it stretches, the caldera glows brighter.
Grown from Pyrelle.
Obsidane
Cooled lava given claws and a temper. Its cracks glow when the hunt is on.
Greylin
A drab grey cygnet that everyone overlooks. It is keeping count.
Becomes Cygnara at level 10.
★★
Cygnara
White as a held breath, and it has not forgotten a single thing said in front of the cygnet.
Grown from Greylin.
Pebblit
A beaver kit of river-stone and green sapling. Has already dammed something it should not have.
Becomes Slabtooth at level 12.
Slabtooth
Its teeth are two slabs of moss-grown granite. It fells standing stones the way others fell birches.
Grown from Pebblit.
Cinderthorn
A serpent of smouldering briar, thorns glowing like a banked fire. Strikes once, enormously, and regrets the effort.
Nimbra
It sings across whole valleys at a pitch below hearing. Cattle look up; nobody knows why.
Frondpaw
A jaguar cub grown from fern and leaf-shadow. Brittle, beautiful, and much too fast to catch.
Becomes Selvaroth at level 13.
Selvaroth
Amber light moves under its leaf-rosette hide. It hunts the way a forest closes over a path: quietly, completely.
Grown from Frondpaw.
Rimeclaw
A wolverine of packed frost. Small, furious, and entirely unbothered by odds.
Becomes Winterjaw at level 13.
Winterjaw
Drags down things four times its size and has never once been talked out of anything.
Grown from Rimeclaw.
Emberscale
Curls into a stone ball with fire showing between the plates. Waits. Wins by waiting.
Becomes Basaltine at level 12.
Basaltine
Armoured in hexagonal basalt columns. Rolling downhill, it is less a creature than a decision.
Grown from Emberscale.
Sleetwing
Rides the freezing edge of the storm because the middle of it is boring.
Becomes Halcyra at level 11.
Halcyra
Wings the width of a barn door. It has not landed in nine years and sees no reason to start.
Grown from Sleetwing.
Floeling
A penguin of shale and shore-ice. Waddles with the grave dignity of something that cannot be moved.
Becomes Glacierk at level 13.
Glacierk
Stands at the calving face like a bouncer. The ice goes past it, never through it.
Grown from Floeling.
Tundrath
Wool of hoarfrost, tusks of blue glacier. It walks a route that stopped existing an age ago.
Menhiron
Sleeps in a circle of its own kind, on a hill, for a hundred years at a time. Do not be there when it wakes.
Ferrin
A scruffy magpie of raw ore and rust. It has exactly one silverbit and will not discuss where the silverbit came from.
Becomes Argentyne at level 12.
Argentyne
Plumage of running quicksilver. The dwarves leave it offerings; it leaves better ones back, which is somehow worse.
Grown from Ferrin.
Skulkin
A jackal the colour of the hour after sunset. Follows at exactly the distance you stop noticing.
Becomes Vespera at level 12.
Vespera
Nine jackals move when it moves. Eight of them are not there.
Grown from Skulkin.
Mourncloak
Wings like a folded funeral. It attends every one, uninvited, and is somehow a comfort.
Amperil
Swims through the air leaving a seam of light behind it. Storms follow it around like a rumour.
Becomes Galvanth at level 13.
Galvanth
It coils once, and every lantern in the valley comes on at the same instant.
Grown from Amperil.
Thrumbolt
Beats its wings at the pitch of a struck wire. Has never once been drawn accurately.
Delvin
Eats ore and leaves the spoil politely stacked. The dwarves have stopped pretending they mine it themselves.
Becomes Adamantle at level 12.
Adamantle
Its claws are the hardest things under the mountain, and it uses them to tidy.
Grown from Delvin.
Brazenhart
A stag cast in brass, antlers ringing faintly whenever the wind changes. Bold as its name and twice as loud.
Vulpyre
The kit grown into its own fire. It splits its tail three ways to carry more of it, and the rain has stopped bothering it.
Grown from Cindra.
Voltrine
Longer, faster and entirely unrepentant. It no longer chews the lantern-wire; it simply stands near it and the wire gives up.
Grown from Voltik.
Aurelume
A moth grown wide enough to throw a shadow, which is a strange thing for a lantern to learn to do.
Grown from Lumeen.
Somnara
It stopped drifting through other people's dreams and started keeping them. The lullabies have all their verses now.
Grown from Murmuri.
Noctrel
The dusk bat that stayed out past the dusk. Still not evil — it simply knows more secrets than it did, and keeps every one.
Grown from Umbrel.
Clatterix
Twice the scrap and four times the noise. The goblins have stopped pretending they tamed it and started pretending they meant to.
Grown from Skitterix.
