THE RIFT:


The Rift is a dark world with a pale violet sun. A large purple-pink luminecent river that runs all across there planet.
The Great River glows due to a special but harmless bacteria that produces bioluminescent light.

A notable place is a large wooded area called the Tarook forest. The plants in this forest are all characteristically dark and sinister looking.

The light from their pale sun only penetrates the canopy layer in the forests and if one was to go to the forest floor there would be no light from the sun its self.  



The Riftal Desert has blue sands with strips of white sand ribboning throughout them , giving it the appearance of a great ocean.

Here I am going to explain the "state" (or Condition) of boundary between The Rift and Earth.

Simply put The Rift is a layer above our own world. Sitting directly in the space were Earth is.

Crycliks hold the ability to 'cut open' this layer and travel through to Earth. What has yet to be fully realized is that them doing so can cause permanent damage in places where this layer is weakened.

This has caused some small rifts to open randomly in places and is an explanation for some missing objects or varied shapes and sizes. Anything from Ipods to Airplanes have been sucked through.
The items end up inside The Rift somewhere and are until Rift travel became as frequent as it is now these items were regarded as relics.

At this time any organic material that is not a Crylick and tries to go through The Rift becomes liquified or catastrophically disfigured.

The random Rifts opening and closing is thought to be the origin of the creature living in The Rift known as "The Unknown".

A unique finding is that some object that use batteries of any sorts and have traveled through The Rift will end up with a battery that never dies. This has yet to be explained and is not always a success when tested for consistency.




CREATURES OF THE RIFT:

The creatures that inhabit The Rift are very Bioluminescent and are just as deadly and vicious as they look.

Silts: Forest dwellers. Slug-like creatures with 5-6 eyes that move around on it's body, and 1 large eye will shrink and trade spaces with one of the smaller eyes that will grow taller as it takes on the previous large eyes spot. The trail that the Silts leaves behind is acidic and burns the leaves and plants it happens to slither over, and is harmful to most of the creatures that live in The Rift.

Greals: 3-eyed bat-like creature. Feed on the blood of all the creatures in The Rift.

Dreks: Wolf-like creatures. They have a skull like plated-head (great sense of smell, regardless), forward facing ears, two tongues, and rows of sharp teeth. Known to hunt in packs, but can be solo. Vicious and fast.
- Can, be rarely, domesticated by the Crylicks.
- Can, but rarely, adopts abandoned young Crylicks.

KRILL: Shadowy Big Cat-like creature. Blank eyes, appear as if made of gasses, and even have a mist coming off of their body. Usually solitary hunters, but will hunt in packs if needed.
- Can, be rarely, domesticated by the Crylicks.

RIN: Mermaid-like creatures. No mouth, blank eyes. They beckon their prey to them, and then their skin will split into a giant mouth. They then drown their prey, and feast on the flesh. Sadistic and second most intelligent life forms besides the Crylick. For more information on them check here- crylicks.deviantart.com/art/Ri…

TULA: Large and bright pink. Long tentacles with eyes at the end. Eyes don't open unless provoked. Usually tolerant, and eats aquatic particles on aquatic creatures that live in and around them. If provoked, it can open it's large mouth and swallow whatever is antagonizing it. Resembles a sea anemone.

FLIMS: Deep-Sea fish-like creature. Skin is stretched over the bones. Literally just look like bones with skin on them. They provide very little meat but are packed full of nutrients in the little meat they have.

THE UNKOWN: A large eel/leviathan like creature that lives deep in the river. It is feared by ALL the creatures of The Rift. It is found to be entirely mechanical. No one knows how it got their or who built it. It has been in the Great River for centuries. For more see here --> crylicks.deviantart.com/art/In…

Riftal Stalker; A large feline creature with a skull plate for a face. Three eyes, one has normal vison, another senses heat signatures, and the last has night vision. It is black with purple, blue , or magenta “eye” spots all over the body to fool other creatures and potential predators. It has large quills on its tail that it can fling at prey.

Face Stealer: A medium sized lizard creature , constantly emits a gas from its mouth that puts it’s victims to sleep. Once it removes the victims head it will then remove it’s own (which it can do and be fine since it’s brain it located else where) and attach that head to it’s body and then proceed to eat the victims carcass.

Floofulpooful: Aka FPs: A small kiwi like bird that lives in flocks in the plains or near The Great river. They would be easy prey if you could catch them. Unable to fly FPs have incredibly fast on land. They have black eyes and a large colorful curled feather on the top of their heads. The rest of their feathers are brown. Despite being flightless FPs long for flight and will jump off of high places to try and fly. They deeply enjoy being thrown and this has lead to several games that involve FPs being thrown into a goal basket.

Limina V-monster : A version of VoidMonster, these mindless pack monsters roam almost every where during night hours ,they can climb, swim, jump and cling to most surfaces. The pack is controlled by a king or queen V-Monster that makes them scavenge and gather foods and  nesting materials. They also take amusement in terrifying hatchlings.

Eyeplant; Found in deep lush forests close by trees this carnivorous plant that uses scents to lure prey. Once prey is within reach the plants roots act as spears and sting the preys feet , it injects a paralysis poison and captures its meal.

Brainworm; Brain worms are contracted when the victim eats meats tainted by these parasites eggs,The worms grown inside the blood vessels and once mature they travel into the brain and inject chemicals to control the victims mind causing them to become aggressive to their own kind or some cases engage in reckless behavior and die thus completing the life cycle...They can grow as logs as the hosts spine but stay deeply imbedded inside the brain.
Cure for this Parasite;
The juices from squished poisonous mushrooms mixed with a type of herb will drive out the parasite .. It's kinda like how antibiotics work on colds. Any parasite eggs will die.
