Earth Elementals - Earth elementals are very in touch with their element and nature itself. They seem to be very in touch with the world around them. Their tiny hooves make it easier for them to climb rocks and play in the mountains that they've come to the Meadow from. These Talaye cannot fly.

  • Animal horns (goat, ram, cattle, antelope, etc.).
  • Stubby tail.
  • Hooves.
  • No Wings.


Wind Elementals - Wind elementals are the expert fliers of Talaye, able to reach speeds and heights that regular Talaye cannot. The species are also often marked by tiny head wings positioned by the ears and additional feathering on the hind legs.Some say that the Wind Talaye are a little bit bird-brained... I'm sure they disagree.


  • Large, feathered wings.
  • Head wings.


Water Elementals - Water elementals make their homes in rivers, lakes, ponds, streams and oceans. They are very good swimmers, making up for their lack of flight with their movement through water. While they may venture onto land from time to time they generally prefer staying close to water at all times. If out of the water for too long their fins will dry up and they will begin to feel very sluggish and tired.

  • Aquatic Wingfins
  • Finned Tail
  • Other Fins (leg, head, etc.)


Fire Elementals - Closely related to the Wind elementals, the Fire elementals also possess feathered wings. Although they can be used in flight (roughly the same as a regular Talaye's wings) they are mostly for show, often containing vibrant colors matching those of their tail-feathers. They enjoy warm weather and are, for the most part, flame resistant save when molting in which case their feathers are known to spontaneously combust.


  • Feathered wings, generally smaller than the wind wings.
  • Feathered tail.
  • Head feathers/feathering.


Light Elementals - Light elementals are large and fluffy, often with warm personalities. As their name suggests, they are known to bring light to many things, including the darkness with their wings and the orbs that seem to float around their front legs. While some of the light elementals with brighter coats are prone to disliking the dark those with darker coats seem to enjoy the twinkle and shine of light at night.

  • Light radiating translucent wings.
  • Light orbs somewhere on body.
  • Extra fluffy tail.



Dark Elementals - Despite their appearances, the dark elemental Talaye are not evil, per say... Not all of them, at least. Most are, if anything, a little bit on the mischievous side, preferring to spend the hours between dawn and dusk either sleeping or lurking in shadows, coming out to play more often in the evenings. They enjoy shadows and mimicry, sometimes taking on features of other elementals while playing their games.

  • Leathery Wings (ie. dragon or bat)
  • Horns.
  • Non-furry tail.


My Tala has traits from... ... What is it?

A hybrid.


Hybrids

Not quite one element or another appearance-wise they may still gravitate towards the element of one of their parents in actions or they may combine them. An earth/dark mix might enjoy cave-dwelling life surrounded by various treasures of the earth or a fire/light may find itself even more fascinated to the light-tossing dance of flames.

If an elemental does not have all of the traits of it's base it is a hybrid and therefor lacks the strength and bonuses it would have as a full elemental.
