Aethyr is teeming with life, some of which are tameable and some of which are as wild and unpredictable as their places of origin.
They can be categorized as follows:​
Familiars
Familiars are small or young creatures that can bond with sentient races, and act as loyal companions and friends, each with their own personality. They often reflect the personality of their bonded, but they may also be the opposite.
When young dragons begin their studies, they are tasked to purchase a familiar as an incentive to learn responsibility from early on, as they will need to take care of them appropiately. This familiar can also be a cub or a young creature that will grow alongside the dragon.

Description
Many equine races populate the world of Aethyr, but the most famed one is the Aarakith. This proud race almost looks to have a sprinkle of draconic ancestry due to their fangs and strong, self-sufficient personality.
They are hard to tame, at best, one can hope to befriend one, and be given permission to travel on its back.

Description
An omnivorous equine species, with a lifespan between 20 and 35 years. They live mainly off of vegatian and small to medium sized animals.
​
Along with their equine based looks they also have dragonic and aquatic like features, such as long spike on their hooves & under eyes, hard plated tails, sharp teeth and molars, fin like mane on their head to elbow, hidden gills to breath underwater (mainly to escape land predator or hunt), and their bodies can resist extreme temperature.
​
They live in small herds in biomes from open plains to wild forests. Some can live in colder areas or warmer climate but one thing they all have in common they are led by an older experienced female Aziaron that is flanked by 2 males, as either guards/consorts these males are the only ones allowed to mate with the lead female.
​
Aziaron mate once a year and conception takes between 8 months to 1 yr 1/2 they can have up to 2 calves. When mating happens males compete to mate by showing off their fin manes of bright colors and dance, some may also compete via fighting to show dominance and strength.

Description
Majestic creatures native to the Heartlands, the Crystal Sabres present a large threat to the dragon communities outside the Capital city or any major city. As they live in packs, they are unafraid of hunting dragons, albeit they do so as a defensive measure or when there is no other source of food.
Due to the development of trading and their furs being prized, Crystal Sabres have managed to adapt and populate to other regions and even align to their elements, showing superb adaptability and resilience to any situation.

Description
Colossal creatures that often embody the pure forces of the elements, be it Fire, Earth, Electricity, Etc... and have each a cyclical path that they repeat each determined time. Some may only appear each 50 years, some appear each century, etc...
But what is certain is they leave a path of destruction in their wake.
No one knows how they came to be, but the most popular theory based on history records points at how they were born a few generations later after the creation of the elements.
But that's the theory with the closest facts
The wildest theories postulate that these beings are the souls of the deceased dragons of ages past, of the pertinent element, that cling to the mortal realm desperately, either unable or unwilling to let go
Anothe theory is that these beings are the embodyments of the elements, and just like a monsoon, they come and go in a natural cycle
These creatures are terrifying as oponents, and nobody has ever dared confront them except in attempts to slow them down before they destroyed a village or city that was unfortunately raised in their path...
