You didn't spend too long in that ancient arcology before you realized trying to enter any further on your own would be far too dangerous. After all, you were only trained in basic plundering and who knew if it was even possible to get past the sealed gates without someone knowledgeable in air lock technology - or demolition.

What you did manage to do before running away was find a small colorful device with what appeared to be a projection display. There were many others just like it stored in compartments you found while exploring a large circular elevation in the center of a large empty hall. You were definitely surprised to the find device still in working order as it greeted you with this message:




"Welcome to the Rosary Pyramid Zoo! My name is ROSY and I'm happy to be your guide!

The Rosary Pyramid Zoo is an open-air zoo that boasts an exotic collection of animals from extinct parts of the Star Map. Our mission is to preserve all manner of flora and fauna who would have otherwise perished to the looming threat of cosmic desertification.

The Rosary Pyramid Zoo is the first and largest of its kind and we are dedicated to providing you and your family with a fun and educational safari adventure!

If you'd like to learn more about a specimen in our collection, feel free to browse my database! "


You were then provided with a dizzying array of species to learn more about. What was stranger still, is that you recognized the names of these species. In a sweaty panic, you picked the one that reminded you of your homeland...

NAME: BEAVER
CLASS: C
CLIMATE: TEMPERATE
BIOME: RIVER, MOUNTAIN
SIZE: 140-180 cm
TEMPERAMENT: DOCILE AND PATIENT OUTSIDE NEST AREA, AGGRESSIVE TOWARDS TRESPASSERS

The beavers are famous for their habit of toppling over dead trees
and fashioning them into makeshift javelins, which they then use to hunt down prey
from afar. They avoid throwing their javelins indiscriminately, using them
only on piscean targets, which their powerful noses can instinctively pick out.

Only rarely have the javelins been seen used defensively. When they feel
threatened, beavers prefer to use their paddle-like tails to rapidly pummel their
enemies into a pulp.

Although they have a cute and almost clumsy reputation
in popular culture, visitors are asked to give the beavers a wide berth and to
walk with caution if carrying any fish or seafood dishes on your person.

NAME: BUDGERIGAR
CLASS: D
CLIMATE: DRY, TEMPERATE
BIOME: GRASSLAND, BRUSH
SIZE: 4.5-5m (HEAD TO TAIL)
TEMPERAMENT: GREGARIOUS, TAMEABLE.

Budgerigars are mostly herbivorous but will not shy away from eating the
occasional smaller animal that finds itself where a budgerigar is feeding.

Flocks of budgerigars can reach astonishing numbers during hot seasons
if resources are abundant, with hundreds of them congregating together
in an incredibly noisy cacophony. Hearing protection is advised if one
is to spend any significant amount of time in a flock of budgerigars.

Budgerigars are non-aggressive, even when threatened, preferring to run away
than to fight back. Budgerigars were once indispensable as mounts for many millennia
but are now mostly trained for such purposes by hobbyists.

NAME: LEECH
CLASS: C
CLIMATE: HUMID, TEMPERATE, TROPICAL
BIOME: SWAMP. WATER'S EDGE, ESTUARY
SIZE: 4-6m (HEIGHT, CONTRACTED), 7-9.5m (HEIGHT, EXTENDED)
TEMPERAMENT: PREDATORY

Although they will seldom feed on human blood, caution is still highly
advised when traveling in areas where leeches are known to roam as a starving
leech will not hesitate to feed on anything it manages to find. Feeding is accomplished
by many hooked and hollow fangs hidden in the rumpled flesh in the front. When they
pierce flesh, the fangs begin to suck blood thanks to powerful muscles that act as pumps

Although the details aren't fully understood, the leech digests blood in such a
way that the plasma is separated and distributed into the paler ambulatory appendages
where the fluid is squeezed and pulled across tissues in a hydraulic system of sorts.
Though locomotion in the leech is awkward and cumbersome, the segmented part
of the animal can easily stretch to over twice its length to reach prey.

Leeches ability to store and separate blood and plasma of so many species have
made them a vital part of modern medical care. Leeches that are fully engorged for medical
purposes are kept in a state of torpor to halt digestion to keep blood fresh and usable
for months.

NAME: Octopus
Class: B (due to high intelligence scores)
CLIMATE: TROPICAL, MOST ACTIVE AT DUSK AND DAWN
BIOME: RIVER, ESTUARY, SWAMP, sometimes WOODLANDS
SIZE: 140-200cm (HEIGHT), 6-7m (ARM SPAN)
TEMPERAMENT: SOLITARY, HIGHLY INTELLIGENT

Very intelligent mollusks that generally live solitary lives, only occasionally meeting with others of their species during the mating season in late summer. The octopus builds its home - known as a garden - near riverbanks where resources are plentiful. The females attach fertilized and unfertilized eggs in garlands in a designated area known as a creche. The eggs are then promptly abandoned. The young that hatch the quickest get to feast on the unfertilized eggs first, ensuring a benefit to earlier eclosion.

Primarily a vegetarian, they will take smaller insectoid, crustaceoid and piscoid prey when available. They use their strong beaks to break through the tough shells of nuts. Elder octopuses will often mash their food into a slurry if their beaks become too worn down over time.

Octopuses are known for their tool use, crafting such as items as rudimentary shovels, pitchforks and spears. Mostly used in the construction of their gardens, occasionally uses tools foe hunting or dislodging hard to reach fruit.

Eyesight is very poor; they do form complete mental images of their immediate surroundings with the various sensory nodules on the arms. The chambered organ at the top of the animal serves as a storage vessel for thick viscous ink which it can spray from several tens of meters away with extreme accuracy despite being sightless.

Class is a unique code which describes the legality of trading these species.

Class F - Destroy on sight

Class E - No laws in regard to hunting species - generally not suitable for trade but no specific laws against doing so.

Class D - very few laws; some populations are considered domesticated.

Class C - some laws, some species may only be acquired legally during some times of the year. Some populations or individuals may be considered domesticated.

Class B - Protected. Permit or license required, can only be traded in select legal drop off zones. Alternatively, species has a close kinship with any member of the Faring Class.

Class A - Protected. Considered endangered or too intelligent to hunt or trade. Although, there is the black market...

Class AA - Protected. Considered unique or otherwise limited.

Class S - Protected. Eligible for Elevation

Class X - DO NOT ELEVATE.

Of course, it would appear the societies that used to participate in the animal trading business have been missing for millenia at this point.

NAME: ELEPHANT
CLASS: E
CLIMATE: TEMPERATE, ARID,
BIOME: GRASSLAND, ALPINE, SAVANNAH
SIZE: 30-60cm (HEIGHT)
TEMPERAMENT: AGGRESSIVE, PACK-FORMING

The much reviled elephants are known for their aggressive behavior towards anything that moves, including other elephants. This inner-species aggression is bizarre for a pack-forming creature and is only momentarily dispelled by the even greater aggression they feel towards other animal species. Elephants mostly steal the kills of other predators, often driving them away with loud bellows and overwhelming numbers. They will also readily take carrion.

Only one sex of elephant appears to exist; transfer of genetic information is accomplished horizontally. While the elephants are engaged in inner-species combat, dna from saliva, blood and even bits of tusk matter is assimilated and is then used in the creation of massive litters which are delivered in succession anywhere between 6 weeks to 3 months if conditions allow. Aggression seems to stimulate this perpetual gestational behavior, as a placid elephant bears no young. The young mature rapidly, reaching adulthood in as little as 6 months.

Mass gatherings of elephants are known as 'graveyards' and are often a ghastly, but thankfully, ephemeral phenomenon as the massive surge in elephant numbers cause them to choke out all nearby food sources - eventually leading to their own demise. Elephant meat is considered unappetizing, with a heavy sulfuric flavor and gristly texture. The tusks crumble quickly after removal from the skull.

NAME: MANTA RAY
CLASS: S
CLIMATE: CONTINENTAL, TEMPERATE, SUBTROPICAL
BIOME: WATER'S EDGE, RIVERBANK, SHORELINE
SIZE: 135-190 cm (HEIGHT)
TEMPERAMENT: SOCIAL, VARIED

Communities of manta rays resemble the villages of pre-elevated societies, thus they are currently being considered as potential candidates for ESE. However, further monitoring is required at this time.

Individuals display highly differentiated personalities. More congenial members will occasionally approach visitors with curiosity, often bearing small shiny trinkets with which they may attempt to do trade. Items like fishing spears, nets and other hunting equipment, as well as baskets and pottery are appreciated the most

Interspecies conflict is often settled by "singing" matches, where each manta ray will inflate their lungs to maximum capacity and produce a high pitched noise, not unlike that of air escaping the pinched tip of a balloon. The longer the noisy display, the more likely the manta ray's point of view will be understood. Interspecies violence has never been witnessed by researchers.

Their habitats consist of sturdy multi-chambered domes, fashioned out of a special mixture of clay and limestone.

NAME: HOUSE CENTIPEDE
CLASS: D
CLIMATE: DRY
BIOME: DESERT, CAVE, MOUNTAIN
SIZE: 5.5-6.5 m (LENGTH; WILD MORPHS), 8-10m (LENGTH; DOMESTIC MORPH)
TEMPERAMENT: TIMID

The many-legged house centipede is a swift hunter that prowls dark crevices, seeking out soft-bodied prey. Despite their fearsome appearance, house centipedes are quick to frighten; raising one's arms and yelling is enough to send a house centipede scurrying away. Indeed it took the pre-elevates that kept and bred them hundreds of their years to breed out the exaggerated startle response that made them so difficult to handle. House centipedes have since been beloved mounts, employed in most arid elevate societies; their great length allows them to comfortably seat many!

House centipedes subdue their prey by piercing flesh with their sharp frontal arms, which excrete a neurotoxin that paralyzes their target. It will then wrap its body around the captive, forming a tight seal and will proceed to suck out their innards. In order to mimic this feeding behavior, large 'sausages' are created from a rubbery casing stuffed with a specially formulated mixture of meat, blood and spices. To mimic live prey, the sausages are then set on a pulley system and then must be dangled and jostled in an appetizing and non-threatening manner.

Legend tells of a great Lyraen lord being rescued by a house centipede. While exhausted and lost in the desert, the great lord became careless in his footing and was about to fall into the gaping maw of a sunflower when suddenly, an unusually long house centipede, almost twice and a half the regular length, scurried by at the last moment and formed a bridge across the mighty mouth. It wasn't until after the great lord had walked across the great house centipede had he even realized what had transpired. The lord then fell to the ground in gratitude of the benevolent creature. From that day, the lord lived the rest of his days in the desert, in worship of his benefactor and their kin. He'd only return to his old lands once, to shed and distribute his material possessions and deeds to his estate before vanishing back to the desert.

NAME: GARDEN EEL
CLASS: E
CLIMATE: HUMID,
BIOME: CAVERN, CISTERN, AQUIFER
SIZE: 5.5-7 m (HEIGHT)
TEMPERAMENT: AGGRESSIVE

Garden eels are fearsome ambush predators that seek out sheltered crevices, striking at any and all potential prey that happen to wander by. Once close enough, the garden eel will discharge large amounts of electricity from their specialized cranial organs that superficially resemble compound eyes. Effectively blind, the garden eel can still locate prey in their environments thanks to their keen electroreceptive capabilities.

Garden eels do not discriminate when it comes to prey and will happily attempt to devour creatures far larger than themselves. Their long fangs and wide opening jaws do at least hint towards an evolutionary preference for piscoid prey.

Caverns with known garden eel populations should be labeled to prevent accidental electrocutions and/or gorings.

Name: CUCKOO
Class: E
CLIMATE: TEMPERATE
BIOME: GRASSLAND, FIELD, GARDEN
SIZE: 1-1.8 m (HEIGHT)
TEMPERAMENT: LAZY

Cuckoo's have a bizarre morphology, sporting garishly vibrant feathers that cloak the entire creature, making it resemble the Lobeliris bush native to the tropical islands of Neo-Kaua'i. Its resemblance to this beloved garden specimen is perhaps how early botanizers mistook the cuckoo for a plant, accidentally importing it back to their colony, where their Queen is said to have become instantly smitten. This cuckoo followed the Queen everywhere and she doted upon it with more love and warmth than she had ever bestowed upon her own young. She'd even go on to rename the colony Cuckooland. What no one knew at the time, was that the Queen was under the influence of an insidious spell.

The cuckoo can generate a powerful mind field, which causes sensitive individuals to drop their guards and approach it. Further contact with the cuckoo causes an abnormal flooding of socially-bonding hormones, effectively forcing the victims to view and care for it as if it were their most favorite baby ever. These forced caregivers then spend most of their time feeding, cleaning and praising their cuckoo controller. Wild cuckoos are often accompanied by a menagerie of charmed animals who will defend it from any perceived threats.

Of course, the cuckoo can only control creatures with hormonal pathways. Silicon based beings need not worry and can even wear the beautiful iridescent feathers of a cuckoo, for a particularly enrapturing look.

NAME: TOUCAN
CLASS: C
CLIMATE: TEMPERATE, DRY
BIOME: FOREST, CLIFF FOOT, URBAN
SIZE: 0.8-1.2 m (HEIGHT), 2-2.5 m (WINGSPAN)
TEMPERAMENT: GREGARIOUS, CLOWNISH

The toucan is a small avian that form incredibly noisy crowds as the sun begins to set before quieting down to roost for a few hours. Toucans prefer to feed on fruit and insectoid prey in equal parts. Their loud calls are a constant advertisement to others of their kind of all the different types of fruit around: a rapid chain of piercing beeps says "there are loads of delicious berries over here! Come quickly before I gobble them all up!" whereas a loud whoop indicates something to the effect of "holy MACKEREL you guys! You've GOT to see the size of this melon!". Curiously enough, they make no such calls when encountering insect prey, instead preferring to sneakily consume them in privacy. Field researchers have even observed toucans using subterfuge to dissuade others from investigating areas with known insect caches. No one knows why they are so willing to share one relatively rarer resource but covet another, more abundant one.

The leathery wings of a toucan allow them catch the wind and soar effortlessly. Toucans take advantage of air currents and updrafts to travel with minimal caloric expenditure during the day, using this time to scan for fruiting trees and shrubbery. During the night time, after the flocks wake up, the toucan adopts a more terrestrial position and actively begin hunting on the ground, seeking out insectoid prey while avoiding detection from larger animals or other toucans. The forked tail of a toucan is a formidable weapon but is only occasionally used offensively, preferring to use it to break open hard husked fruit (or bugs!).

The practice of removing the forked tail of captive toucans has been declared an act of animal cruelty and is thus illegal. It is nonetheless recommended that toucans receive regular dulling treatments on the sharpest ends to avoid accidental injury or dismemberment. The toucans at the Rosary Pyramid Zoo do not receive such treatments. Make sure to wear the TouCant Tungsten feeding gauntlets provided, should you wish to feed the animals!

More birds!



NAME: CANARY
CLASS: D
CLIMATE: TEMPERATE, SUBTROPICAL,
BIOME: CAVERN, MINE
SIZE: 1.5-2.2 m (HEIGHT) 3-4 m (WINGSPAN)
TEMPERAMENT: SOLITARY

Canaries are troglodytic avians that can be found in all manner of caves, ravines and even abandoned mines in areas where such industries are prevalent. Canaries have been reported to be found in depths exceeding 300 meters into the ground. Known for their doleful dirge-like song that echoes in the darkness. This 'song', is actually how the canary maps its surroundings, as life immersed in inky darkness has caused their eyes to completely degenerate into useless vestiges. When the canary senses nearby prey, it will cease its song and begin silently stalking it. When at a satisfactory proximity to its target, the canary will release intense bursts of simultaneous infrasonic and ultrasonic frequencies at levels high enough to crush organs and shear flesh, it then swallows its kill whole.

Sonic capabilities aside, canaries have the ability to withstand levels of toxic hydrogen sulfide (and other) gases that would otherwise kill most organic elevates reliant on cellular respiration (if you would like to see if this danger applies to you, please note the four-digit code on the back of your AssureExist ID card and refer to box 121 on page 275 in your Life Guide Universal Manual).

The use of carbon monoxide spewing machinery in mines also attract these birds who were so feared, that they were often the cause of various mining facilities going abandoned. There is nothing quite as scary as a canary in a coal mine.
