Three Kinds of Neiva

There is a vast menagerie of neiva to learn about and study, but here are the three basic neiva types you are sure to see in nearly every location you travel to.

WHERRING: A wherring has a serpentine body and its head looks as though it is made of bone with black eyes, 3 sets of 2 on either side, with a clear white pupil to see you. All have some sort of mane around their haunting head. They also all have beaks... sharp beaks. They posses in no form any appendages, and some do not have the ability to fly like this Larittian and Drakkenian neiva, the furred wherring. Naturally, this is considered the common version, since either Drakken, ancient Zuria, or more ancient Pillua classifies them. Known to attack in masses, all forms. They attack using their beaks, binding with their serpentine bodies, and abilities particular to the elemental of the beast.

ZERATH: For Drakken, the "Common Zerath" is not that common at all. It lives in or around water, specifically in Black Bay. Like all zeraths, it has 4 legs, two eyes, a tail, and a large mouth full of teeth. Their eyes are especially large, and even outside of the water have fish-like eyes, one of the easiest ways to tell that it is in fact a zerath and not some new breed. The common zerath is unable to fly, however nearly every other zerath can. The horned zerath native to Madoria but seen in other tainted mountainous areas, can fly, for example, as you have seen. Zeraths often attack with their breath, teeth, or with their razor sharp tails.

LORCH: The common lorch is a slimy blob. Although none can fly, they can stretch or use their environment expertly to bring mecha down. They have one eye that looks eerily human and will hide itself within its body or move to wherever it needs to be, since its body is amorphous. 'Uncommon' varieties have other abilities and tactics. The rock lorch has amazing powers to manipulate stone and using their odd magic craft shells for themselves. If you defeat one, the shell can be used as building material that is stronger than regular stone.
