Fauna[edit]

No native fauna of Gabrael flies. All flying creatures on the world are imports (e.g. Chicken). n.b. The Flying Drynet, native to the eastern plains, glides rather than flies and cannot maintain or gain altitude.

The Muugagen Pigbird has gone feral and is now found wild on Gabrael.[1]

There has been an historic trade in Doyle’s Eel on Gabrael, but these creatures are illegal, dangerous and (probably) only being kept by limited specialist collectors.[2]

Flora[edit]

Nyflan's Fern[3] is a psionic plant that eliminates appetite in nearby creatures - thus ensuring the plant's safety - or just makes you feel happy. This is found in a number of poorer houses on Gabrael but is not native.

Calabaa Trees are grown in plantations on Gabrael and the resulting drink, "Calabaa", exported to the subsector.

Sensitive Umoth reacts badly to Human contact. The oils from the skin transferred during an unprotected human contact tend to cause the plant to die within a few days. Other varieties of Umoth don’t have this reaction.
