Bolganio Wildlife

A list of plants and animals native to Bolganio. Many of them could be used to cast spells or create magic tools.

Green Onion
A type of onion native to Elphegort. At some point, gods discovered the green onion and used it to develop a magic tool, the Very Amazing Green Onion. Sometime after the foundation of Magic Kingdom Levianta, humans also discovered the green onion and began farming it, eventually learning how to develop Very Amazing Green Onions using the vegetable. Soon after, the people of the Magic Kingdom recreated the god's device, and the use of green onion communicators spread throughout Levianta.

After the Levianta Catastrophe, the use of green onions to make magic communicators largely declined, with only a few mages still possessing the knowledge. At some point, Elphegorteans also began farming the green onion, treating it like a simple vegetable due to the knowledge of Magic Kingdom Levianta being lost. Sometime after, the people of Elphegort incorporated the vegetable into their diet, with the green onion becoming an ingredient used in various dishes. By the EC 500s, green onions were sold in Aceid markets and consumed by Elphegort aristocracy; it was also consumed by Lucifenian aristocracy by the 7th century EC.

Greeonian Plateau Rose
A type of rose exclusively native to Merrigod Plateau in Elphegort. During the days of Heldogort, shamans discovered the plant's medicinal properties. Grinding the rose's roots into a powder, the shamans developed a sleep medicine known as Gift, with said powder serving as the medicine's key ingredient. Due to the number of shamans dwindling over the centuries, the medicinal use of greeonian plateau rose waned; despite this, numerous individuals utilized Gift made from greeonian plateau roses for their own ends, the most notable being Prim Marlon and Margarita Blankenheim. By the EC 600s, the roses were mainly used for decoration.

Greeonian plateau roses were characterized by their pale emerald petals. Their roots, when ground to a powder and combined with other ingredients, could relax a person's bodily functions and induce sleep. However, if given the incorrect dosage, it could also kill those who ingested it, shutting down the victim's body and causing their throat to swell with inactive tissue. Furthermore, medicine made from greeonian plateau rose roots could be refined, making it lethal enough to kill a person with a single drop. If the medicine was also infused with magic, it was capable of becoming an airborne contaminant and even putting the souls of the deceased to sleep.

Millennium Tree
A type of tree exclusively native to Elphegort's Millennium Tree Forest. In BT 528, the god Held was transformed into a millennium tree and used it as his body for centuries. In EC 500, Michaela's corpse was similarly transformed into a millennium tree sapling shortly after her death. Replacing Held as the forest's millennium tree, the former spirit used the tree as her body for centuries. Sometime during the EC 600s, the criminal organization Père Noël began covertly extracting sap from the new millennium tree, intending to monopolize it as a cure for Gift. Later on in EC 609, Dr. Puerick Rogzé developed said antidote using millennium tree sap in the wake of the Toragay Serial Killings.

Millennium trees were extremely long-lived, with a lifespan of around one thousand years. While its saplings were of average size, the tree was capable of growing to enormous proportions, reaching a towering height within centuries of being planted. The tree's sap also had a variety of uses, capable of extending a human's lifespan and even combating the symptoms of Gift. Aside from this, the tree's branches were quite flexible, capable of being bent and contorted without breaking.

Nechuha Tree
A type of tree native to Asmodean. At some point, the people of Asmodean discovered the nechuha and began foresting it for its wood. Woodworkers in Lasaland then began using nechuha to make products, with the Gine workshop growing famous for its nechuha dolls. Around the turn of the 6th century EC, nechuha dolls became highly prized collector's items. Nechuha wood was particularly sturdy and durable, making it popular among Asmodean woodworkers. It was mainly used to make wooden dolls; the crafting process involved kneading gunk squeezed from the wood and pouring it into a mold before baking it in a kiln.

Pome Fruit
A type of fruit native to Elphegort's Millennium Tree Forest. The fruit was very light and could easily be lifted and thrown by small animals.

Trauben Fruit
A type of fruit native to the west coast of Elphegort's Lake of Amusement. At some point, the people of Elphegort discovered the fruit and began farming it. Around the 3rd century EC, the villagers of Yatski developed a fine wine from the trauben, dubbing it "Yatski Lopera" and exporting it to Beelzenia during the EC 300s. At some point, Elphegorteans also devised a way to make jam using the trauben fruit. Eventually, use of the fruit spread throughout the kingdom, with trauben becoming one of Elphegort's primary crops by the EC 500s. Almost a century later, trauben products continued to be popular, with trauben jam being normally consumed by Elphegortean nobles. Trauben fruit was bluish purple in color and grew on a vine.

Baemu Pig
A type of pig native to the Tasan Empire. Sometime before the first century EC, the people of Tasan began hunting the pig, using its flesh to make meat pies. Eventually, Tasan's Emperor Ang grew fond of the pig's taste. As a result, the baemu was extensively hunted, causing a decline in its population to the point of nearing extinction.

After the Tasan Empire's collapse sometime after EC 013, the Levin Church began associating the pig with the empire's fall, forbidding its followers to eat it and calling it a demon disguised as an angel. By the EC 300s, the baemu became a rarity, with only a lucky few ever being able to chance upon one. Because of this, the pig was considered to be a rare find and was highly sought-after by Beelzenian gourmands.

The baemu was characterized by its red hair and horns. It was also larger in size than the average Tasan Pig. Despite the Levin Church's outlawing of its consumption, Beelzenian gourmands considered its flesh to be very delicious. The baemu was also very rare and difficult to capture, earning it the reputation of a phantom.

Bergen Bug
A type of insect native to Toragay in Elphegort. It was non-lethal and could be easily caught by young children.

Cupid Horn Sheep
A type of sheep native to Marlon. Sometime before the EC 900s, the people of Marlon domesticated the sheep and incorporated it into their diet. During the late 10th century EC, soup made from cupid horn neck was served in at least one restaurant in the USE mainland.

Demilamb Pig
A type of pig native to the Beelzenian Empire's Demilamb territory. Sometime before the EC 300s, Beelzenians domesticated the pig and incorporated it into their diet, with Demilamb pork growing popular among the empire's gourmands. Although its flesh contained blubber, it was considered by many gourmands to be the best kind of pig to eat. It also possessed beautiful features and a white fur coat.

Murara Pig
A type of pig native to the Beelzenian Empire. Sometime before the EC 300s, Beelzenians domesticated the pig and incorporated it into their diet

Rollam Bird
A type of bird native to Lucifenia and Asmodean. During the EC 500s, the rollam bird was hunted for its feathers and meat. Its black feathers could be fashioned into products such as fine quill pens, while its meat was served as a gourmet dish in certain areas such as Retasan. The rollam bird possessed an aggressive nature and would sometimes attack smaller birds. Some stray rollam birds came to reside in Elphegort. It also shared its name with the city of Rollam.

Shadow Moon Pig
A type of pig native to the Beelzenian Empire. Sometime before the turn of the 4th century EC, Beelzenians began crossbreeding Demilamb and Marlon pigs, eventually producing an entirely new breed. Beelzenians then incorporated the pig into their diet, calling the new breed "shadow moon". Sometime after, it was discovered that the taste of the shadow moon's flesh could be brought out after being processed and combined with other ingredients. Among the pig's unique characteristics was its lack of hair and pale flesh, which lacked the redness common to the flesh of other pigs.

Tasan Pig
A type of pig native to the Beelzenian Empire's Tasan region. Sometime before the EC 300s, Beelzenians domesticated the pig and incorporated it into their diet. Despite its meat having an unpleasant smell, its internal organs had a unique taste. It was characterized by its black fur and resembled the baemu breed of pig, despite being smaller and lacking horns.

Ziz Tiama Octopus
A type of octopus native to the waters of the Hark Sea. Sometime before EC 013, the octopus was discovered by the people of Magic Kingdom Levianta and began being fished. Extensively netted, ziz tiamas were used in Leviantan prayer rituals and offered to the gods as a sacrifice. As a result, the ziz tiama's population was eventually reduced by around 70%.

Following the Magic Kingdom's destruction in the Levianta Catastrophe, sacrificial use of ziz tiamas greatly declined. At some point, the people of Marlon also discovered the octopus in their island's surrounding waters and began fishing it. Centuries later during the EC 300s, the ziz tiama was exported to Beelzenia, where its food purposes were discovered by Banica Conchita. After her death, the octopus remained largely uneaten, stigmatized by many due to its grotesque appearance. By EC 609, the Freezis Fishery netted an abundant catch of ziz tiama; Divine Levianta imported 90% of said catch in September of that year.

The ziz tiama was characterized by its blue color and unique appearance. It also had medicinal properties, with its ink being able to formulate a powerful healing elixir when combined with shavings from Grim the End. When sacrificed to the gods in a ritual, the ziz tiama could be used to conjure a powerful rainstorms. Aside from this, ziz tiamas were capable of being transformed into a large, kraken-like monsters by powerful mages. When transformed, these octopi often attacked and wrecked ships passing by the waters they resided in.

Conceptualization and Origin

 * The trauben fruit's name may be derived from the German word for "grapes", with the fruit being consistently portrayed as grapes; Elphegort, the fruit's native country, is fittingly inspired by Germany.
 * The Green Onion and its first usage in the novels by Michaela may be a reference to Hatsune Miku's character item, the green onion.
 * The ziz tiama is also referred to as aotako (アオタコ), which translates to "blue octopus", possibly alluding to its blue color.
 * The Rollam bird's name, "Rollam" (ローラム), is likely a reference to the road roller (ロードローラー), a vehicle often associated with the Kagamine twins.
 * The Nechuha tree's characters, when reversed, forms ハチュネ (hachune), likely a reference to Hachune Miku; the Clockworker's Doll, which is made from Nechuha wood, is fittingly represented by Hatsune Miku.
 * The pome fruit's name may be derived the French word pomme, meaning "apple".

Curiosities

 * The ziz tiama shares its name with the Ziz, a giant griffin-like bird in Jewish mythology; it is unknown if there is a connection between the two.
 * In Epic of Evil: The Daughter of Evil Fanbook, the Trauben Fruit was voted as the twenty-sixth most popular character in The Daughter of Evil series by Japanese fans, along with Abyss I.R., Shaw Freezis, Mikina Freezis, Eve Moonlit, and Sateriasis Venomania.
