Al-Leyans have adapted to be a nocturnal race. Their vision is so much better in the dark and they have excellent hearing. They never went through a period of burning fossil fuels and look after their planet. Nature is very important to them and a strong, key theme in their religious and spiritual beliefs. | Al-Leyans have adapted to be a nocturnal race.

Their home planet has tropical and subtropical climes. Their planet is very hot and bright during the day. Due to this they would retire to their homes during the hottest and brightest part of the day to take their rest. Their homes would be designed to help keep them cool. | Their home planet has tropical and subtropical climes. Their planet is very hot and bright during the day.

When the race was just young they would shelter in caves and in other cool spots in the forest. The trees have adapted to the planet's hot sun with tough bark and leaves and flowers that curl up during the hottest part of the day to prevent them from becoming dry and burning. | When the race was just young they would shelter in caves and in other cool spots in the forest.

Similar to the Terran 'barn-owl', the Al-Leyan Seiuri, or Taural Seiuri as it's known locally. It is a nocturnal avian native to the southern polar region of Leya-l. Their habitat spans across the entire Taural Mountains, and a majority of the Ritashi Valley. | Similar to the Terran 'barn-owl', the Al-Leyan Seiuri, or Taural Seiuri as it's known locally.

===Lupocattus=== | ===Lupocattus=== | ||
A felinoid creature similar in appearance to the Terran Lykoi cat (a feline with a wolf-like appearance). Its coat, however is less dense, to compensate for the higher temperatures of the tropical environment where it lives. An unusual feature of these creatures is the glands around the neck that allow it to sweat. Due to the creature’s body chemistry, the sweat it produces is deeply musky. It is the only creature on Leya-I to do do, thus the sweat of these creatures is often used in colognes and perfumes. | A felinoid creature similar in appearance to the Terran Lykoi cat (a feline with a wolf-like appearance).

They have a deceptively slender form with large paws, which almost seem out of proportion with the rest of its shape. Their eyes are another distinct feature, having a canine appearance rather than the traditional slits felines have. Eye colors range from blue to green to yellow. Like most creatures on Leya-I, they’ve adapted excellent night vision to avoid nocturnal predators. Males tend to be much larger than females and don't shed nearly as much as their female counterparts. Their coat is at its thickest and darkest during its time of mating, an adaptation designed to attract females for reproduction. | |||
The planet’s gravity means that these creatures have denser bones and more developed musculature than Terran felines, making even a single swipe of this creature’s paws potentially deadly. Despite the risks, they make surprisingly loyal companions for Al-Leyans and it’s not unheard of for them to develop an attachment to a particular individual. They prefer the company of humanoids, enjoy being petted, and can be protective of children and other felines alike. Despite their protective nature, they are also insatiably curious and will leave their companion's side to explore strange smells or sounds. | |||
Though they have no empathic abilities, they are able to discern how a humanoid is feeling through even the subtlest shifts in facial expression, vocalizations and body language. They are remarkably sensitive to these non-verbal cues. | |||

These plants are more commonly found near the equator and in tropical or subtropical regions as they require moist soil to thrive. However, they can be found in the lower elevations of mountain ranges that receive adequate rain. | ||
