The Moon lifeforms - In Detail

Dominant Race: True Ancestors
Outwardly human, True Ancestors are modelled off the Vampire Progenitors of Crimsons original world but have been altered to better fit Katinas views on diversity and compatibility with the Earth. While they vary quite a bit in power from the near-human to the incredible, all have enhanced strength, speed, and healing abilities, and a passion for life that can be as pleasant as it can be worrying.


Environmental Requirements
Domes - Massive beasts that control the Moons gravity, numbering only a few hundred yet being an essential part of the landscape. Thus far none have felt the urge to mate, but emergency services will be ready when they do...
Atmos Trees - The Kings of the Forests, these massive trees are a byproduct of the moons rapid terraforming, whose roots extract oxygen from the lunar bedrock.
Cola-Melons - A unique fruit that grows beside more earth-like ones. Considered quite tasty by almost everyone and one of the first lunar crops to be grown in bulk.


Beasties
Drop Krakens - Tree-dwelling predators, a danger to smaller lifeforms.
Floaters - balloon-like sky migrators.
Stilt Striders - Desert survivors.
Megakitties - While many canine and feline species are copied from Earth, these 20-foot-long perpetual kittens are fairly unique
Deathclaws - Considered the apex predators of the moon.
Yoshis - Ravenous omnivores, considered a great danger to Cola-melon crops in numbers.
Goombas - While sentient, Goombas are too uncommunicative and unfriendly to fit into lunar society for the most part.
Leviathans - Kings of the sea.
Cupils - Air-borne fluffballs, can take many shapes depending on their diet.
Displacer Beasts - Tricksy felines, highly intelligent yet solitary.
Pokemon - Energy beings with physical bodies, some remain wild while others find partners to stay with.
Chocobos - Ostrich-like birds of surprising strength and endurance. Come in many colors, wild and domesicated. Apparently taste delicious.


Minor Races

Zobolds - Mechanical miners, these beings horde precious metals and gems in their lairs, working to keep Metools out. Zobolds who leave the drudgery of the mines often hire themselves out as cheap labor. Possibly related to the sightings of two-headed mecha-dragons.
Metools - An ever-industrious mechanical race. Metool fortresses are hives of industry to rival any earth city or Corgin project. Its said they can somehow make a Superalloy Z replacement, but they never export it, keeping it for personal protection. Subraces - Many.
Shyguys - Masked and cloaked, their true forms are unknown. They keep to themselves but are not unknown in other areas. Uncomplaining and stoic, a shyguy will only question an outsider when things are going very bad. Subraces - Sniffits, Fly Guys/Beezos, Jawas, Mountain Shybeards, Forest Skybeards

Alfimin - A race of fairy-like feminine beings, Alfimin spend their adolescence inside a cocoon which grows to many times their original size. This cocoon eventually forms a mecha-like suit of Bio-Booster Armor, the Bine, which allows Alfimin to interact on equal footing with larger races. They claim they gain the nutrition for this transformation from eating cola melons, though this seems impossible. Subraces: Ligrin, Gilzin.
Hawkmen - A flying race of winged men, masters of the mountains. Boisterous, loud, and always ready for a fight. Subspecies: Raptorans, Rito
