[Lore Education] Examples of Talyxian Organism Creatures!
Hello, dear Vilous fans~!
For today's update, we would like to feature a picture that was previously teased over in MetroPex's Vilous Documentary series, Episode 8, alongside a quite healthy chunk of lore regarding Talyxian organisms!
Enthusiastic fans might have already read about it in the wiki, but this graphic would serve to offer a fresh visual impact for those who just know them from previous summary guides, as the lore has undergone considerable updates and refinement.
Please note that the picture displays retroactive species which their names and appearances have been revealed so far, this chart does NOT contain ALL of the available Talyxian creatures!
Also, this chart does not suggest an actual scale nor size comparison among each creature. These creatures are just adjusted in size for convenience as a visible chart.
There are a lot more kinds that have not been revealed just yet, as Talyxians have a really wide and massive group of organisms!
Talyxians (タリクシアン Tarikushian) are the organism group which covers both 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 that live in the Planet Tal. Most of the biota, flora and fauna, natural environments on 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 that belong to Eltus organism group and common creatures on Earth.
Some of them in this group such as Talyxian-Stalkers and Dogs display a partial, inorganic constituent across the surface of their body parts, it may take up a mechanical appearance, however, they are not a machine, cyborg, or robot beings.
As they can be said to be a different existence from Eltus organisms, Eltus folk generally consider Talyxians as alien beings and distinguish from themselves in their cultural sense.
For some examples of their biological instability and fluidity; Some may exhibit a 'behavior' that can be considered to be akin to reproduction or cross-breeding between the organisms which have a greatly different form from each other. Some may turn into a totally different form depending upon the environment surrounding them. Some can intake a different kind of Talyxian creature within their inner body in order to use them as their own organ.
Not only this, their biology and ecology predominantly feature very unparalleled, chaotic, and 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 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 of creature and just show only minor differences in appearance.
-Depending on the environment and situation surrounding them, they may allow mixing and cross-breeding between those which have totally different biology and ecology.
-Some may allow 'grafting' to be performed between animals and plants if they have biologically similar genes to each other.
And so on.
Also, within the biological realm of the Talyxian organism group, the boundaries and biological difference between animals and plants differ wildly and far away from the definition in which plants and animals on Earth and Eltus organism group have. In Tal's biology, Sessile type organisms and every immobile or 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. As such, 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 next-to-impossible to be defined and classified strictly within the same parameters of biological law in which Eltus organisms or common creatures on Earth possess. 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 attribute a name and division of "species" to them. This style limits the way which names them while referring to their biology, which in turn can be distinguished visually from their appearance and behavior. As such, the 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 period of time. This is somewhat of a mysterious and unique style, which is greatly different to what Gold Ring does. The way of naming and classification relies on shamans spiritual and intuitive sense based on 'sound' and 'atmosphere' - How and what they sensed from creatures. As names which are attributed with this style are impossible to express in written words with a specific and fixed spelling, this style is not used so much outside of the Shigu region.
Despite the fact that Talyxians and Eltus are considered to be different existences, the actual differences between them are still not defined completely. Because some kinds of Talyxian creatures may display 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 the varying degree depends on the species.
In definition, they fall under the same umbrella term "Tal's Primitive Creatures", and their origin is veiled in mystery.

Basic concept of Talyxians
Talyxians (タリクシアン Tarikushian) are the organism group which covers both 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 that live in the Planet Tal. Most of the biota, flora and fauna, natural environments on 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 that belong to Eltus organism group and common creatures on Earth.

As they can be said to be a different existence from Eltus organisms, Eltus folk generally consider Talyxians as alien beings and distinguish from themselves in their cultural sense.
Summary
Biology and ecology within the 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 instability and fluidity in their biological identity.For some examples of their biological instability and fluidity; Some may exhibit a 'behavior' that can be considered to be akin to reproduction or cross-breeding between the organisms which have a greatly different form from each other. Some may turn into a totally different form depending upon the environment surrounding them. Some can intake a different kind of Talyxian creature within their inner body in order to use them as their own organ.

Interesting, then, GR would be the lawyer without typical and Shigu would be a religious or spiritual net... heck... thanks for this page, here you can easily find the names of species of fauna and flora in one place.
Good Work, keep it up. =D
Good Work, keep it up. =D
Woah! Holy shit thats alotta Talyxian flora and fauna but amazing
Not sure if you'll answer, but what is the natural history of Talyxians and the Eltus races? That is, how did these two very different groups of living things come to live on one planet? Who was on Tal first? Did the Eltus colonize it, or did Talyxians "invade" Tal and took over the life that was originally there?
Oh wow that answers my question! Is that canon with this new canon? Or has there not been confirmation of that yet?
I would assume the current wiki is canon but things are in a state of ongoing progress so there may be changes in the future. Here's a part of the wiki that expressly addresses it. http://www.vilous.net/wiki/Canon
It's really fascinating to see the strange-yet-beautiful diversity of Talyxian lifeforms!
Ahhhhh This is fantastic! Thank you all so much for this! I love when we get world updates!
these are some interesting creatures
they remind me of the creatures from René Laloux's 1973 hidden masterpiece: La Planète sauvage/ Fantastic Planet.
