Salka – sabretooth feline with thick coats and large jaws. Carnivorous. Security force for Market known as Night Rangers.

Kinka – large herbivore spider, desert dweller. Produces threads and clumps of material that they use to make clothing and other products. Use their webs to protect their young until they can fend for themselves and to collect the GaiaZa that blows on the wind. Poisonous bite that attacks the nervous system. Lays eggs. Very creative and trades their goods for paints and dyes. Some also offer their services as fortune tellers.

Know how to mine and mix GaiaZa with food to increase the intellectual capabilities of Nezoomians. Also, very good farmers, growing herbs and plants around the outside of the caves. Know how to heal. Their growth comes from eating large amounts of GaiaZa and they are not gene spliced.



Edible Plants

They can be eaten straight off the vines.
