Talyxian Associators

Comparison of wolf-type T-Associator and dog-type T-Associator.

Talyxian-associators(タリクシアン・アソシエーター, also called "T-associators" or "Associators" for short)" are creatures that belong to talyxian species group. They are feral species and correspond to a canine in the Earth.

They are quadrupedal and share many of the same surface features as the other talyxian creatures, including the appearance of mixed organic and inorganic components. They are, of course, not a machine, cyborg, or robotic beings in any way. Unlike a Talyxian-Stalkers, they don't have an individual difference of appearances.

They can't talk, but they have high intelligence.

There are two type among them; "Wolf" and "Dog". Wolves and dogs have similar appearances, but biology and ecology are totally different. Original species of T-Associators are treated as a wolf by the Eltus race, and domestic associators are treated as a dog.

Wolf

T-Associators original, as known as wolves.

The original species of Talyxian-Associator, also known as Tal's "wolves", which live in Talyxian biome forests of Northern lands of Tal.

They can't reproduce and don't eat anything, but they live long too much. Probably they were created by Rooters, and Rooters set them free in the forest. All of them are one molding.

They are considered as is a sacred, holy animal, and is an object of faith and worship for traditional Northern people. All of them are called "Zyn" which means "God" itself or "The God of the forest" in Sieg language. (Not to be confused with Rain's wolf, Zyn. Name of "Zyn" is not the only name for specific T-Associator wolf individual.)

They can't be made into pets from people. Because all wolves act with their own intention and propose. As for the case of Rain's wolf, Zyn, was acting and accompanying Rain by his own intention.

There were considerably many wolves in ancient times. But, they are almost not discovered in modern times. Now they are treated as the legendary animals of the depths of the forest.

Biology

Wolf opening their wing part.

Have wing-like foldable plates, but it doesn't have the ability to fly.

Parts of their wing-like plates have superior sharpness, it actually can work as their weapons as Eltus people call that parts "wolf's blade".

All of them have white fur, there's no exception out of white.

Their mouth fangs are referred to it as a "horn" from agudners while "fang" is the name a sergals give this body part.

Ecology

They leave the forest according to the season, come together as in their group to the place that has strong sunlight and is free from miasma, such as the Tatla that is becoming the border. And they enlarge the wing-like plates of their bodies and do photosynthesis, then return to the forest when they finish a storage of their energy enough.

They don't eat anything although they have mouths, they will use their fangs for only killing other large-size Talyxian creatures. Their this behavior is an adjustment of the population of wildlife in all probability.

Their blade parts on their wing-like plates can cut off Talyxian biome's tough carnivorous plants, those acts become the origin of the act of worshiping blades in Tal.

Relationship with Eltus people

Northern sergals worship wolves as "the incarnation of the forest", considering them as "a rule". Northern people consider wolves as existence that is a higher class than people.

Northern sergals even modeled aspects of their lifestyle after the behavior of wolves. However, they will sometimes use their corpses for accessories. Every object crafted from wolf parts holds a special spiritual significance.

Dog

T-Associators domestic, as known as dogs.

The domestic species of Talyxian-Associator, also known as Tal's "dogs", which live in urban and civilized areas in the Southern lands of Tal such as Gold Ring.

Biology

Unlike wolves, they don't have wing-like foldable plates.

They have soft and flexible parts on their side of the mouth, instead of wolves "fang" parts. This part work as a sensor, like an insect's antenna or cat's whisper. Due to this, these parts possess an important function for them, they would be hard to act normally if they lost this parts.

Dogs color is generally gray-toned or brown-toned colors. It's generally whole gray or whole brown, patterned fur is comparatively rare.

Ecology

They can reproduce, contrasting with wolves which are pure Talyxian-Associators who live in Tal's native forests and are found mainly in the Northern lands. However, the lifespan of dogs is much shorter than wolves. While wolves cannot reproduce, they do not eat anything and have longer lifespans. Unlike the wolves, dogs can eat anything (except salt) due to their omnivorous diet. They have developed both reproductive and digestive organs, and it is even possible to have a hybrid of dogs and Talyxian-Stalkers.
 

Relationship with Eltus people

The dog type Talyxian-Associator with Eltus people in southern lands. The sergal and the agudner are moving from capital area to small town within range of Gold Ring with their dog.

In ancient times of 1000 years ago, dogs began as "wolves" and came from the Northern lands with Northern sergals. These sergals were the originators of Southern sergals. Because there are no miasma forests in the Southern lands, these "wolves" became "dogs" due to having lost their wild nature. At the same time, sergals lost their faith in Talyxian-Associators, especially as they began cohabitation with agudners. Therefore, dogs were treated as just "domestic animals" unlike the wolves in the Northern Lands.
