Species



The species of the Forlorn series varies from both real and fantasy creatures. There are normal animals and wildlife, as well as those ever present creatures such as dragons. There are also some species and creatures which Eck created himself, such as the Reavers.

Existing/Real
There are plenty of real things already in the story. Humans are the dominant species on the planet, covering most of the world's major cities and areas. Animals such as wolves, foxes, birds, deer, and the like also populate the forests. Most ordinary things have spins on them, however, which is how Eck attempts to make them more unique than usual. For example, there is a human race before the actual humans called the Meldum, who are the forefathes of humans.

Typical Fantasty Elements
Many fantasy species/creatures make appearances in the story. Dragons are present, although they are very scarce and difficult to find. They are a force to be reckoned with, but not the most dangerous creatures. Demons are central to the storyline, although there are two different species of demons: traditional, winged brutes called the Astrod and a more humanoid type called the Garid. There is also a species of Angels, although they aren't necessarily stereotypical. They aren't any immortal forces, but merely ordinariy entities.

Created species
Eck has created several of his own species, and created some from altering already existing ideas. Volts, for example, are essentially Phoenixes, except instead of fire, they are composed of lightning. Reavers are gigantic wolves with vibrant fur and the ability to breathe fire. Gorligs are large, dinosaur like creatures with spiny back and spikey tails. They also have extending necks, which allow them to surprise and engulf their prey quickly.
