Creature Types
Aves (Birds)
Description Aves, more commonly known as "birds", are a widespread and vast group of creatures found all throughout the planet of Haven, and can be found within nearly any environment of the world, as they grace the skies, forests, mountains, oceans, and even the harshest deserts, tundra, and volcanic wastes with their presence.
While different species of Aves can vary widely from one another, several uniting physical traits are present amongst nearly all bird species. Feathers, a distinctive characteristic of Aves, serve multiple functions. Beyond aiding in flight for most species, they provide insulation, waterproofing, and are often instrumental in intricate mating and communication displays.
Another near universal trait of Aves are the immense variation of vocalization they often employ. Most commonly referred to as "Birdsong," these vocalizations fill the air of most of the world with melodies, ranging from simple calls to complex symphonies.

Invertebrates
Description Invertebrates are easily the most numerous and widespread group of any creatures found on Haven. They can be found in practically every environment imaginable.
While invertebrates come in all sorts of shapes and sizes, there is one characteristic that they all share: the lack of an internal backbone. Some invertebrates have developed a tough, armored shell on the outside to protect their soft innards. Others may have no such shell but use poison or bright coloring as a deterrent against attack.
Most species of invertebrates are quick to mature compared to other types of creatures. Some of them are born with instincts to survive right as they hatch from their eggs, giving them an advantage over many vertebrate species, which often take years to reach maturity.
