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 cultural sense.

This article describes the common features of all Talyxians. To read each Talyxian species creatures, see each article on the List of Creatures in Talyxian Organism Group 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 Planet Tal.

Biology and ecology in Talyxian organism group are very complex and diverse. In addition to this, even in the classification of their species, it is not sure whether they have actual divisions of "species" as they have a strong unstableness and fluidity in their biological identity.

For some 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 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 the creatures have non-colored blood, such as gray or black. Some kinds 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 the environment surrounding 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 different and far from the definition which plants and animals on the Earth and Eltus organism group have. In Tal's biology, Sessile type organisms and every immobile and static creatures are considered to be 'plants' even if they are technically animals. This definition includes remains of massive corpses or fossils that form a shape which looks like a plant. Like this, Tal's biology defines the difference of animal or plant, based on their superficial behavior and situation rather than actual biological and inner difference; dynamic or static.

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 / Meat type, Gray / Skin type, Black / Nerve type, and White / Bone type. As a result, there are general and broad classification and distinguishing of Talyxian creatures based on these trends of hues.

In Gold Ring towards the modern era, biology scientists carry out "GR Standard Classification" for Talyxian organisms, in order to give name and division of "species" to them. This style is limited on the way which names them while referring their biology which can be distinguished visually from their appearance and behavior. Like this, a method to classify Talyxians still relies on superficial features, rather than cellular and genetic classification.

Meanwhile, in Shigu, there is the traditional way of naming and classification which shamans have performed for a long. This is some kind of mysterious and unique style, which is greatly different what Gold Ring does. The way of naming and classification relies on shamans spiritual and intuitive sense based on 'sound' and 'atmosphere' － How they sensed from creatures. As names which are given with this style are impossible to express in written words with a specific and fixed spell, this style is not used so much other than Shigu region.

Despite Talyxians and Eltus are considered to be different existences, however, actual differences between them are still not defined completely. Because some kinds of Talyxian creatures may show features and traits in nature which are similar to what Eltus organism creatures have. As well, almost all of Eltus organisms which include both races and plants show more or less Talyxian traits in nature, while a degree is depending on the species.

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

Name

The form of the name "Talyxian-***" and "Talyxian" itself is generally not used among Eltus folks. People usually call them while sharing the same name from creatures on Earth, such as "Weasels" or "Hamsters". As well, a simple common name of Talyxians own things, such as Dondokos or Odei are also used. As a prominent example, Eltus people usually call Talyxian-Stalkers as just "cats" while the name of "Talyxian-Stalker" is considered to be a scientific name.

Eltus folks often use a word of "Alien Biomes" as a generic name for a whole of Talyxians or Talyxian biomes. In addition, they often use also just word of "monster" for ferocious and harmful creatures such as Actinias.

In Gold Ring towards the modern era, the name of "Talyxians" itself is used as respectable race name also for a part of Talyxian-Stalkers who have surely 'human right' which is given from GR laws.

However, if call Eltus race people as 'Talyxian' with malice, it is comparable to insulting.

Talyxians and salt

Almost all of the Talyxian organisms avoid salts for unknown reasons. Salt is not inherently toxic to Talyxian creatures, but they have an inherent repulsion towards touching of salt, especially on their mucous membrane areas in their body parts. And they will 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.

Hizomi-Nonbon is some kind of excrement which Talyxian creatures excrete after they have ingested salts by eating Eltus creatures.

When man-eating Talyxian creatures have eaten Eltus people, they will try to excrete salts that are included in Eltus blood while taking a long time. These salt contents will be consolidated into one lump, and it will be wrapped with a black material which has a firm quality similar to rubber. As a result, it will become a full lump of black thing and will be excreted as that condition. And there is an unalloyed crystal of salt in the center inside that.

If the creature has taken something which has highly-concentrated salt, they may not digest it and instead just wrap a whole of it with a black material.

While "Hizomi-Nonbon" is a most popular name, this stuff is called with various alias depends on the region. Some people may call this as just "Hizomi" or "Nonbon". Eltus folks use this as material for magic rituals. Because of this, when people have found Hizomi-Nonbon, they will usually be going to crack this with a tool such as a knife, in order to gain a crystal of salt.
