The young of a squee. How can something so cute become so bloodthirsty?

These creatures live in the cold caves of Awan in big social groups. If they get separated from their swarm, they will get lethargic. Their fur is bright red to mimic the likeness of poisonous creatures so predators leave them alone. Because they're so feisty and hostile, it's hard to keep them as pets without them headbutting you.

This is not a naturally occuring species. These rats were created by scientists in order to test risky and sometimes dangerous experiments.  They have a higher pain tolerance than other rodents. Nowadays, testing on Lab Rats is illegal, so they are now kept as pets.

Rumors have it, the ghosts that haunt this pup are its true brain! Although only a few are visible on the surface, many, many more gather in the carved pumpkin it wears atop its head and its fabric doll-like body.

Their glow is a result of bioluminescent fungi making up a large part of their diet. The pattern on every cave mouse's back is unique. 

Variants

An unusual fish who enjoys spending its time out of water. Its perpetual dumbfounded, pathetic expression is endearing to some and enraging to others.

Previously thought to be extinct due to radiation, recently re-discovered in the underground cave systems on Awan. They possess incredible regenerative abilities and are surprisingly intelligent, even if they don't quite look the part.

Variants

This plant-like species existed under the radar for an unknowably long time, often believed to be an average venus fly trap. That is, until they started biting those who gardened them. Nowadays, it's highly advised to keep these in the wild and stay clear, as their sharp teeth and strong vines aren't a good match for most any critter.

Variants

Domesticated from their aggresive relatives, these happy flowers are created to have a good time! They're common starter pets, having all the personality of an animal with the maintenance needs of a sturdy plant.

Rock Golems are large, but extremely timid creatures, found only in the darkest depths blending in well as regular boulders. Despite their shyness, they have an affinity for helping other creatures from afar, and without their notice. They are known to gift flowers to those who find and visit them often.

Frigid Deer are a relatively new subspecies of deer adapted to the freezing cold surface of Awan. While they are thriving, their Crystalline cousins are threatened by the very same environmental changes.

Variants

Crystalline Deer are a small species of cervid native to the planet of Awan. Although their subspecies has outcompeted them for many decades, the restoration efforts on Awan are having a promising impact on their population.
