2. Stoneleaf shrub
- A tough, drought-resistant shrub with
dark, stone-like leaves. It grows in rocky
are as and can withstand extreme
conditions.
Sundrop orchid
- A rare orchid with radiant yellow
flowers that thrive in the sunlight at the
edges of the forest.

3. Whisperbloom Fern
-A large fern with translucent leaves that
rustle in the wind, creating an audible
whisper. It thrives in the shaded
underbrush.
Gluelume vine
- A bioluminescent vine that grows in
dense clusters in the forest floor. It
provides light during the night.

4. Bramble hopper
- A small, agile rodent with sharp claws
used for climbing and burrowing. It
feeds on seeds and leaves.
Flareback panther
- A large predatory cat with a sleek,
spotted coat and fiery-orange fur
along its back. It preys on medium-
sized animals.

5. Shadow Wolf
- A stealthy, pack-hunting predator
that targets small animals. It has black
fur and sharp, elongated fangs.
Glimmerbird
- A small, colorful bird with iridescent
feathers. It feeds on fruit, nectar, and
small insects.

6. Mudskimmer Frog
- A amphibious frog with webbed feet,
it feeds on small invertebrates and
aquatic plants.
Decaybeetle
- A beetle that consumes decaying
organic matter. It plays a crucial role in
breaking down plant material and
waste.

13. Evolutionary Adaptation
1. Glowlume Vine: Produces bioluminescence to
attract nocturnal pollinators and has flexible vines to
reach sunlight in dense undergrowth.
2. Whisperbloom Fern: Evolved translucent leaves to
thrive in low-light environments and produces rustling
sounds to deter herbivores.

14. 3. Sundrop Orchid: Has vibrant flowers that attract
pollinators and blooms over extended periods to
maximize pollination opportunities.
4. Stoneleaf Shrub: Possesses drought-resistant
leaves and deep roots for survival in rocky, nutrient-
poor terrai
n.

15. 5.Bramble Hopper: Developed sharp claws for climbing
and burrowing and agility for escaping predators.
6. Flareback Panther: Evolved stealthy, nocturnal
hunting abilities, along with sharp claws and teeth for
efficient predation.
7. Glimmerbird: Has iridescent feathers to attract mates
and pollinators, with a specialized beak for feeding on
nectar.

16. 8. Shadowfang Wolf: Hunts in packs and possesses
sharp senses and elongated fangs for capturing prey.
9. Mudskimmer Frog: Features webbed feet for efficient
movement in water and mud and camouflage to avoid
predators.
10. Decaybeetle: Developed a tough exoskeleton for
protection and a specialized digestive system for
breaking down decaying organic matter.
