Talyxians

Various Talyxians creatures

Talyxians (タリクシアン Tarikushian) are the organism group which covers both of mobile creatures (animals) and sessile creatures (plants), consisting of very wide, various, plural kinds; "Talyxian creatures" or "Talyxian organisms". They are common and basic living things which live in the Planet Tal. Most of the biota, flora and fauna, natural environments in Tal belong to Talyxian Biomes, a colony composed of this organism group. They have very alien, strange, complex features on their biology and ecology, that are greatly different from creatures which belong to Eltus organism group and common creatures on Earth.

Some of them in this group such as Talyxian-Stalkers and Dogs have a partial inorganic constituent in a surface of their body parts, it may look like some mechanical appearance, however, they are never a machine, cyborg, or robot beings.

As they can be said to different existence from Eltus organisms, Eltus folks generally consider Talyxians as alien beings and distinguish from themselves in their cultual sense.

This article describes the common features of all Talyxians. To read each Talyxian species creatures, see each article on the List of Talyxian Creatures and Areas within Talyxian Biome Realm.

Summary

Sergals adorned in armor and equipment to adapt on an alien environment in Talyxian biomes, are exploring on a plain within Thekan region, just a front of a forest. Here, can see many strange sessile creatures which look like plants, colored with reddish tones such as purple, pink, or grayish tones including white. They belong to Talyxian Sessile Organisms, Talyxian organisms which considered to be plants. They compose a common flora on Plane Tal.

For som examples of their biological unstableness and fluidity; Some may perform 'behavior' what can be considered to be reproduction or cross-breeding between ones which have greatly different forms each other. Some may turn into a totally different form depends on an environment surrounding of them. Some intakes a different kind of Talyxian creature within their inner body in order to use as their own organ.

Not only this, their biology and ecology more feature very unparalleled, chaotic, various peculiarities, which are not seen in common Eltus and Earth creatures.

As some examples;

• Most of creatures have non-colored blood, such as gray or black. A part of them have more colorful body fluids in plural kinds.
• Sessile Organisms in this group, which are considered to be "plants", do not display green tones as they have no chlorophyll. Instead, they are generally colored with reddish or grayish tones.
• Some may show alternative genders rather than the simple binary female and male, sometimes up to four different genders.
• Some may change their gender acquired depends on an environment surrounding of them.
• Some perform reproductive behavior in a way that does not apply to either sexual reproduction or asexual reproduction.
• As most of them generally display strong randomness in their appearance, shape, and form. In some cases, it is not an actual mutational species nor subspecies capable, however. All of them are biologically the same kind creature and just show only minor differences in appearance.
• Depends on the environment and situation surrounding of them, they may allow mixing and cross-breeding between kinds which have totally different biology and ecology.
• Some may allow performing 'grafting' between animals and plants if they have biologically similar genes to each other.

And so on.

Also, in the biological kingdom in Talyxian organism group, the biological boundary and difference between animals and plants are very ambiguous or thin. For some examples, many species of the Talyxian plant can move around like animals. Some species begin as the state similar to the plant, and when grown to some extent, completely turn into the form which can be said as an animal, and initiate activity as the second stage of their life. Due to this, most of their species cannot be defined strictly as "plant" or "animal". However, some species may be still considered as "plant-type" or "animal-type" based on their behavior and appearance. Though this is just a definition as a matter of convenience. Biologically, they are very different and far from the definition of plants and animals on the Earth and Eltus organism group.

Because of hereinbefore reasons, they are very difficult or impossible to defined and classified strictly with the same way of biological law which Eltus organisms or common creatures on Earth have. However, rather than actual biological classification such as plants or animals, they still show some certain biological and ecological trends depends on hues which each display; Red type, Black type, Gray type, and White type. As a result, there are general and broad classification and distinguishing of Talyxian creatures based on these trends of hues.

Not all Talyxian creatures can be classified as Talyxian in strict. Some species show features and traits in nature which are similar to what Eltus organism creatures have. In addition, mixed-breed between Eltus plants and Talyxian organisms is present. This is a reason that pure Eltus plants are really few in Planet_Tal.

In definition, they fall under the same umbrella term "Tal's Primitive Creatures", and their origin is veiled in mystery.

Name

The form of name "Talyxian-***" and "Talyxian" itself is generally treated as a scientific name, or speaking in a formal way.

Eltus folks usually call them while sharing the same name from Earth's creatures, or a simple common name of Tal's own things like Dondokos. As a prominent example, Eltus people usually call Talyxian-Stalkers as just "cats" while the name of "Talyxian-Stalker" is treated as a scientific name.

Eltus folks often use a word of "Alien biomes" as a generic name for a whole of Talyxians or Talyxian biomes. Or they often use also just word of "monster" for ferocious and harmful creatures like actinias.

In colloquial language, the name of "Talyxians" itself be used as respectable race name also for ones who have surely 'human right' like A part of T-stalkers in modern Gold Ring.

Talyxians and salt

Almost all Talyxian species creatures avoid salts for unknown reasons. Salt is not inherently toxic to Talyxian creatures, but talyxian creatures have an inherent repulsion towards the touch of salt, especially on their mucous membrane areas. And they do feel intense pain and discomfort if salt is applied, especially to an open wound. For comparison, it is significantly more painful to Talyxians compared to those of the Eltus people.

The truth behind the biological relationship between salt and Talyxians is still a deeply unknown matter to Eltus. However, it is common knowledge among the Eltus people that salt is a very effective deterrent to almost all Talyxians.

Hizomi-Nonbon

The scene of some Talyxian plants excreting Hizomi-Nonbon, and Kadd will be going to crack it for taking out a crystal of salt. From Vilous Comic - Dark Clouds of the Shigu.

One kind of excrement of Talyxian creatures that are excreted when they had ingested salts by eating Eltus creatures.

When some kind of harmful talyxian creatures has eaten Eltus people, they will excrete salts that are included in Eltus blood while taking a long time. And those salt excrement is wrapped by the black matter that has rubber-like hard quality. It will be shown as completely a lump of black thing when those are excreted. And there is an unalloyed crystal of the salt in center of those. If they took something that has highly-concentrated salt, they often wrap a whole of it without digestion.

Those things are called by various names according to each region, "Hizomi-Nonbon" is one of a popular name. But it often be called as "Hizomi" or "Nonbon" for the abbreviation. Eltus people use those things for magic rituals. Because of this, people usually be going to take and crack it to get a crystal of salt if they found Hizomi-Nonbon.
