This is just for fun, so yeah! ^w^ The idea is to say what a Sylesti pet would be in real life. For example, a Sylvorpa is a sea monster, a Qitari is a horse, etc. I'm gonna name some of my thoughts of them, and you can too! ^w^ Enjoy the game-thing! x3 If it says '???' after the name of the animal, then you, yes, you have to think of what animal in real life it could be. I know the Griffi and Nyketeri (Etc) have animals that don't exist, but it's all I could think of. ^w^

Zolnixi=Fox.

Lupora=Dire Wolf/Gray Wolf.

Lighira=Liger/Big Cat.

Qitari=Qilin.

Griffi=Griffon.

Nytekrie=Owl.

Ny'vern=Wyvern.

Kelpari=Hippocampus.

Luffox=Jackalope.

Lunemara=Moth.

Aurleon=Phoenix.

Aeridini=Chinese Tree Dragon.

Bulbori=Rabbit.

Nephini=Lizard.

Faelora=Deer/Moose/Elk/Caribou.

Morkko=Polar Bear/Bear.

Ryori=Cat Spirit.

Puffadore=Arctic Fox.

Vulnyx=Saber-Tooth/Saber-Tooth Kitten.

Draeyl=T-Rex.

Sylvorpa=Mexican Axlotl.

That's all for now, if I'm missing some species, please reply! Also, reply with some opinions on the unknown species. What could they be IRL? <3

nyteckri = owl

kelpari = kelpie ( flesh eating water horse )

Aeridini = Long ( chiness dragon) mixed with a tree

Ryori = cat spirit (maby a bit based on the Inugami myth)

Ryori = Kitsune

Kelpari = Hippocampus

*Note - Both of the above are mythological creatures, and should be mentioned in any search about them

I think it's:
Zolnixi= Fox.

Lupora= Dire Wolf/Gray Wolf.

Lighira= Lion

Qitari= Horse.

Griffi= Griffon.

Nytekrie= Owl.

Ny'vene= Dragon.

Kelpari= Kelpy

Luffox= Fox

Lunemara= Moth.

Aurleon= Heron.

Aeridini= Chinese Tree Dragon.

Bulbori= Rabbit.

Nephini= Lizard.

Faelora= Deer/Moose/Elk/Caribou.

Morkko= Polar Bear/Bear.

Ryori= Fox spirit

Puffadore= Dog (Maybe some sort of pomeranian mutt?)

Vulnyx= Saber-Tooth...lynx? (Idk just looks like a long toothes lynx of sorts.)

Draeyl= Some sort of big lizard or mini dragon (Maybe something along the lines of the black dragon lizard. Look it up.)

I think Griffi may be more like a hippogriff, given the hooved hind feet, and Nyketeri a griffin.

Aureleon I imagine is a phoenix.

Ryori a jackal, Anubis, or Mexican Hairless dog. I get "dog" out of it more than cat, but one of the skinny breeds with large upright ears.

Luffoxes I thought were rabbits, but now am also leaning towards a cross between that and a fox. The ears are bat-like.

Nephini I think of faerie dragon.

Puffadore is a Papillon dog with those ears, but I could see an argument made for fennec fox too.

Ny'vern a wyvern (if only because I picture dragons with four legs).

Qitari has a unicorn's influence in the small cloven hooves and the tufted tail.

Aeridini a flying snake? I don't know how this works, but apparently it does!: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AtghWoe1_E

Draeyl I first thought was a wingless dragon, but I think now some sort of hadrosaur--or any kind of dinosaur depending on the traits.

I agree with your other choices!

Hiiiii!
On the list, it says Luffox = Jackalope
I'm leaning towards a bunny, not a jackalope

Mine had antlers as a trait thing, so I said jackalope. :3

i think the qitari is actually more like the Qilin, a chinese mythological creature. (if I remember my mythology correctly haha)

Ny'Venes are accuracy Wyverns. A wyvern is a bipedal winged predator typically depicted with leathery or scaly skin. ( they also do not breath fire) Wyverns do not have horns in most mythologies.

A dragon is a quadruped, it has for legs with a set of additional wing limbs, notably they are covered in scales that tend to be thick. These guys also tend to have spikes and horns. They also tend to be more ferocious and fire breathing like you think about.

I think Slvorpas took inspiration from the Mexican Axlotl (Ambystoma Mexicanum) Theyre aquatic amphibians, and their build is very similar
