Physiology & Ecology
Thieves' World's climate averages around 20 degrees below Earth norm. The planet's terrain tends to the mountainous in most areas. There are very strong wind currents causing hazardous aerial navigation. This is especially true around the canyons where Port Nicholai & Cursewell are located.
There are 8 species:
- King Xorter (10m long),
- Yellow Xorter (7.2m long),
- Armida's Xorter (6.1 m long),
- Southern Xorter (6 m long),
- Bag Xorter (a filter feeder 6 m long),
- Plaso's Xorter (4 m long),
- Coastal Xorter (2m long),
- Red Xorter (1.5m long);
Lengths are based on the largest known specimen.
