### The Catax

The Catax, often categorised into ancient and modern, is a meta category for the remarkable species native to Tyrrha, believed to have existed long before the Rain. Unlike typical lifeforms, the Catax have transcended conventional biology, evolving beyond their original physical forms. Over millennia, they have transformed into ethereal entities, their existence now intricately tied to the spiritual and natural forces of Tyrrha itself.

## Vexlarian

The Vexlarian represents a diverse and resilient meta-category of smaller creatures throughout Tyrrha. These species share adaptability, resourcefulness, and a deep connection to the land’s harsher environments. The Vexlarian thrive in regions where many more prominent or more typical species would struggle, from the rocky, arid deserts to the dark, dense forests and underbrush. Despite their smaller size, these creatures are essential in maintaining ecological balance and often exhibit highly specialized behaviours to survive in these challenging conditions.
