Chosen Prompt: [Describe some of the flora/fauna that is unique to their world]
Prompt Response:
- Eleven's world is full of unique fauna and flora. From purple trees that bleed gold to deer with more eyes than would ever be necessary, there are countless things he could tell you about. In a lot of ways his world is similar to Earth, but there are floating islands and bears with bee wings that're somehow able to fly. Flowers that sprout in complete darkness and birds made of crystal are also commonplace, if you know where to look, but at the same time there are regular cats and dogs and plants strewn about in the world.
If you go deep into the caves of his world you'll find creatures black as the night itself, with limbs way too long to seem practical in the small spaces they're in, but they make up for it with more joints than a regular person, and their eyes are voids in their heads. They're what people call monsters, here, but they're not just fairytale. If you travel to the mountains you'll find wolves as large as moose, with temperaments to match their size. If you go to the dark pits of the ocean you'll find bioluminescent octopi and coral, making the underwater world bright and colourful. There are also animals with both lungs and gills living in the swamps, making it a terror for anyone to travel through, as they'll attack anything they think they can kill, people included.
The flora of the world is just as unique, from the aforementioned purple trees to flowers that bloom in a rainbow of colours all from the same seed. Simply walking through a forest you might be able to find brightly coloured vines intertwining themselves with branches, deep purple meeting bright orange, or a blossoming tree with cyan flowers on pink leaves. New species of both plant and animals are always being discovered or happened across, whether intentionally or not, and it's an overwhelming sight to those who aren't used to it.
Of course, there are also the places on the planet that people of Earth would consider 'normal' with simple green trees and daisies and the likes, without the ducks that lay silver eggs or the horses as large as rhinos. There you'll find similarity and peace, with simple and familiar ecosystems, but it's nothing compared to the world outside those places.
Eleven would personally consider his favourite unique fauna to be the cats that seemingly defy gravity, floating when they please and making it a point to torment the birds. It's not uncommon to come across a cat with striking teal eyes floating through an alley, sniffing at the tops of the trash cans, and those are El's favorite critters to try to befriend. His favourite of the flora used to be the flowers that were as sharp as glass, that humans would void as to not cut themselves but that he had no problem walking through, but as time's worn on he's found himself rather fond of a specific purple-leaved sapling that's starting to show it's first sign of gold flowing through it.
