The Pets
Jelly Fish

Often referred to as a jelly or jellies by the general population. Come in a multitude of colors. Most common being a single body color and a second color in the tentacles. Mostly used for decoration and have no other purpose. They do not need to be trained as they are extremely susceptible to song.

The Will-o-wisp

A somewhat uncommon creature but with lovely coloring. They are suspected to have traveled great distances before arriving on the reef.  When first discovered will-o-wisps were thought to be lost souls searching for their homes. Will-o-wisps are otherwise the same as jellyfish.

 

Decorative

The Seawee

An often brightly colored pet that has become popular recently.  Breeding habits are unknown and only the nomads of the reef seem to know where to find them.  Seawees develop very strong attachments and will follow their owners everywhere.  They are extremely friendly and good natured.

Available through Gypsies Only

Little Cousins
Little cousins have always been a part of the reef and greatly honored by the Seaquines who feel a great kinship with them.  It was only in recent times that one chose a Seaquine, named Stardust, to be its companion. Little cousin companions are still rare to this day. No one knows exactly why cousins will sometimes choose a Seaquine but they do know that it has little to do with song. A cousin is not "trained" but rather befriended.
The Rays

Rays and skates are the most popular pets on the reef. They come in a multitude of breeds and colors. They are easily tamed and can be trained by skilled singers. Rays shows are very popular and attended by many rich and powerful seaquines. The most famous ray would be the royal family's pet "Skipper".

The Dwarf Manta Rays

Imported from Outreach by dwarf Seaquines. They are descendants of true manta rays, although, they have been carefully bred for smaller size.  They make excellent pets and train well.  They are currently in short supply and in high demand so their prices are quite high.

Racing Snails
Snail racing is a popular sport on the reef.   The snails themselves come in a variety of colors and patterns.  They make decent pets but they crave racing.  A happy snail is one that is doing its best to beat its neighbor.  Snails have no gender .

Breedable : Races
Rarrets
A rarret is the aquatic stage of a land based animal.  They make great pets but they must be given up when they reach adulthood.  They are most often raised by young Seaquines who find them a good experience gaining challenge.

temporary  for Youth only
Sand Dragons
Sand dragons are extremely intelligent and make excellent pets.  They come in all of the same patterns as seaquines do.  Sand dragons are also the source of elemental eggs.  Elemental eggs must be sold to the Spectrum Guild or they will not hatch.

Frilled Cousins
Another type of little cousin.
Octi
Like the little cousin the octi closely resembles another speices, the Octopus.  Unlike the Seaquines the Octopus claim no relationship to this species and are greatly offended if it is implied.  The octi are very friendly and helpful.  They are often trained to do simple tasks for their owners, such as equipping jewelry.
