List of plants and animals found in the sea.
| Baskers Baskers are a variety of massive herbivorous whale, who trawl the seas consuming vast quantities of viridspor, zooids, greenfry and green plankton. They are mostly commonly found in temperate latitudes, usually staying far from the shore. They are occasionally hunted by islanders in Anrel | |
| Gnatfish Gnatfish are small virid fish particularly found in warm tropical waters. They have a bony exoskeleton and are predatory, hunting in packs. They are able to feed on blood, often swarming around larger animals and embedding themselves into the flesh. They are fast swimmers, capable of launching themselves out of the water to escape enemies. | |
| Greenfry Greenfry are the tiny offspring of greenfish, which spawn and hatched in shoals for mutual protection. Greenfry are eaten in large numbers by predatory greenfish and whales. Fauna This is in a series of articles about Animals. They are caught by humans at various times of the year. Though too small to be of much use for human nutrient, certain types of greenfry are caught off the coast of northern | |

| Sucorolith Sucoroliths are marine reefs created by colonies of virid zooid organisms called sucoaros. These zooid colonies create tube-like filter feeding structures, extracting nutrients from water and excreting particles of rock and debris around themselves for protection. Over time these create extensive rocky structures that can extend to just below or even above the waterline.Anásthias | |
| Whales Whales are aquatic mammals inhabiting waters surrounding the Civilised World. They are most numerous in the Natorn Archipelago, as well as the temperate waters of southern Anásthias. Fauna This is in a series of articles about Animals. Whales fill several ecological niches from placid herbivores to cunning predators. Anásthias |
