Creatures

Creatures play an integral role in the vast ecosystem of Palia. When it comes to engaging most creatures, Hunting, Fishing, and Bug Catching certainly have their time and place, but there are some that can be domesticated, become a loyal companion, or even be admired from afar. What follows is a general breakdown of the known creatures of Palia. For more details about a specific creature, please visit its respective page.

Birds

Peki

Pekis of Palia
Peki Egg
Pekis sure are cute . . . - Delaila
Pekis are small creatures akin to chickens, complete with wings and feathers. While their crowing can be loud and sometimes annoying, Peki eggs are a breakfast favorite, so well worth the trouble. Delaila tends to the pekis on her family's farm, often collecting eggs from Petunia or checking what trouble ol' Feathers has been up to lately.

Silverwings of Palia
Silverwing
Unfortunately for you, darling, they only perch on top of the highest cliffs. - Tamala
Silverwings are formidable birds of prey who emit loud vocalizations and whose wings are naturally laden with Flow. Their eggs typically come in a variety of colors, based on the type of flow that is in the area. If part of a flock, silverwings will deposit their eggs within a communal nest. They also have an unusual tendency to ride on each others' backs during migration. One silverwing, known by the name of Goldwing, was documented as being the largest and oldest known specimen.

Wol

Wols of Palia
Azure Wol Snowy Wol Tawny Wol Umbral Wol
No hero is complete without a trusty companion. The high-flying Wol pet will soar the skies right alongside you on your journey. - Patch Notes 0.186
Wols are small flying creatures, very much like owls. They are the first pets that fly instead of walk. Each wol wears a bandana around its neck and carries a little bag on its back. The best thing about wols is that they can become loyal companions to Players! For more information, see Wol and Pets

Bugs

Bugs of Palia
Bugs
The firebreathing dragonfly is definitely my favorite bug. Hands down! - Auni
Bugs can be found all over Palia and certain ones will only appear at certain times of the day. Different bugs have different behaviors, such as flying around areas of water, crawling through tall grasses or even hiding inside rocks. Astute catchers will need to learn when and where their marks lurk in order to best chase and trap them. Skilled bug catchers can even snag specimens worth putting on display in their homes. For more information, see Bugs.

Fishes

Fishes of Palia
Fish
. . . Palia's rivers, lakes, and ocean are full of beautiful fish. Many are tasty, and all of them have charm. - Almanac of Palia
Fishes come in all shapes, sizes, and colors. They can be found in ponds, lakes, rivers, and, if a fisherman is particularly lucky, on a dinner plate. Of course, if what is caught looks more like a waterlogged boot, well...then that probably is not a fish. In addition to location and time of day, a fisherman's use of different bait (or no bait at all!) could prove helpful in catching something worth showcasing in their home. For more information, see Fish.

Mammals

Chapaa

Chapaas of Palia
Spotted Chapaa Striped Chapaa Azure Chapaa
These little pests should be removed at all costs. - Hassian
Chapaas are noisy and mischievous critters, similar to beavers, that can be found all over Kilima Valley and Bahari Bay. True to their invasive nature, they are known for stealing items, like shiny spoons, and hiding them in their nests made of sticks and twigs. Compared to the frustration of chasing them around the Fairgrounds during Maji Market, hunting chapaas will seem like a breeze. Just be aware that when approached, a chapaa will attempt to run away and, if allowed, will burrow itself into the ground to escape. For more information, see Chapaa (Species).

Kitsuus of Palia

If you ever see a kitsuu, do not make the mistake of trying to hunt it. Kitsuu are sacred animals in Palia. They are meant only to interact with us as companions and friends, not food! - Hassian
Kitsuus are fox-like creatures with two tails, very large ears, white markings, and antlers. Once thought to have gone extinct, most believe kitsuus to be deserving of great respect. Due to their reclusive and shy behavior, they tend to run away when approached. For more information, see Kitsuu.

Muujin

Muujins of Palia
Muujin Banded Muujin Bluebristle Muujin
You might be in for a surprise if one manages to jump into a Flow Tree. - S6 Forseti
Muujins are wolf-like creatures found in areas of Bahari Bay that are dense with Trees. While the meat can be quite gamey, with the right skill and care, a rich and sumptuous dish can be produced. It is one such dish that was rumored to be the favorite of a certain baron, and possibly led to his early demise. When hunting muujins, be sure to bring an Axe, because once they are alerted, muujins will attempt to seek shelter in a nearby tree. Thankfully, the occupied tree can then be cut down to flush out the hiding muujin, but hunters will need to be quick to capture the once-again-fleeing beast before it can climb into another tree. For more information, see Muujin (Species).

Ormuu

Ormuus of Palia

Sernuk

Sernuk of Palia
Sernuk Elder Sernuk Proudhorned Sernuk
If you prefer not to hunt, you can get what you need from Villagers! - Ashura
Sernuks are graceful deer-like creatures that symbolize honor, tradition, and longevity. As such, The Order is known to breed their own sernuks, a variant of the proudhorned sernuk, to pull their carriages. Sernuks can be found all over Palia, often grazing in small herds in the grassy fields of both Kilima Valley and Bahari Bay. Though sernuk hides and meat can be used in various crafts, these gentle creatures are often sought after for their prized antlers. When spooked or actively hunted, a sernuk will seek to escape in a series of random dashes in different directions. To help overcome that, hunters should come prepared with a variety of Arrows to both do greater damage and slow it down for easier tracking. For more information, see Sernuk (Species).
