Flora
- Weeds
- Minevra plant:
- Discription by Anthony Creed: Among the lush foliage that grows on the planet of Til'hon, the Minevra plant produces a miniture sized flower simular to Earth's sunflower, but because it is deemed "utterly useless" with no medicinal or aesthetic value, it is termed a weed. However, the Laudeans use it as part of their development of their Fielding powers. Zalkonian research has resently made a startling discovery about the Minevra plant. As well as blocking Fielding abilities, it also blocks all telepathy. Betazoids are especially suseptible to its effect. Too much exposure could kill them, and the stronger the telepathic ability, the stronger the effects.

Fauna
- Grazing Animals
- Pletroks
- Discription by Toni Turner: Pletroks live in the mountainous areas of Til'hon, grazing on grasses and the lowest evergreen branches. They are as large as Earth's moose, but look like a horse with short spiraled horns. These split-hoofed creatures have a predominately silvery-gray coat that is emphasized by a silky white mane and tail.

- Other Animals
- Surrilian Monkat: Very rare animal found only in small family groupings on Duronis II. A primate-feline mix in appearance, they are highly developed and are the only creature other than the Laudeans to have a connection to the Fielding.
- Discription by Cyrus Webb: They were small creatures, approximatly 40cm tall, and appeared to be a cross between some sort of monkey and some sort of cat. They had the apparant human like features of a monkey, small hands and feet, but with large ears and highly alert eyes, they also had a cat like face with whiskers, one was a grey colour almost a charcoal grey, whilst the other was a much paler colour and almost tan, the eyes of the tanned one almost shone in the darkness of the cage, it was elegant looking and intelligent in appearance.

Semi-sentient -communicate with one another telepathically. Seem particularly pleasing to betazoid children.
