Regnum: Bloodborn Kindred: Wavekin Genus: Yumemi Sub-species or Moniker: N/A Location: The Ruby Sea

The creature known as the Yumemi are fairly docile, yet tough and rather territorial. Though primarily found in the Ruby Sea, travelling pirates, tradesmen, and otherwise strange individuals, have been able to capture and train Yumemi. Some keep them as pets, even.

There are two variety of Yumemi, one with a shell--which most know simply as “Yumemi” and one without a shell, which many call a “Naked Yumemi”.

The shelled Yumemi tend to have capable control over Lightning-based aether and magicks.

Regnum: Seedkin Kindred: Seedling(?) Genus: Korpokkur Sub-species or Moniker: N/A Location: The Dravanian Hinterlands

The Korpokkur appear to be small, seedling-like seedkin who enjoy being well-watered. They are not to be fooled by their short stature, as many Korpokkur, despite being so small, are still very fast on their little feet. Sharlayan Botanists, before the exodus, brought them to Saint Mocianne's Arboretum for study and experiment. Yet, after the exodus, the Korpokkur were left in the arboretum and, with none to control their population, the seedkin reproduced and now litter parts of the Dravanian Forelands, the Arboretum especially. Whether or not they have beaks or lips is still debated by many scholars.

Regnum: Bloodborn Kindred: Beastkin Genus: Yak Sub-species or Moniker: Wooly Yak Location: Coerthas Western Highlands

The Wooly Yak of the Western Highalnds are the much larger, much more violent counter parts of the lamb and the karakul of La Noscea and the Central Highlands, respectively. The Wooly Yak can be territorial, but that does not stop hunters and gatherers from hunting them for their wool.

Similar to their smaller counterparts, the Wooly Yak does indeed get it’s name from the amount of wool this beast produces. Even the lowest quality wool from a Wooly Yak can produce incredibly warm fabrics for blankets, clothing and the like.

Thank you for following the Hunter Codex!

I wanted to take a moment to say thanks to the people who update the Gamerscape page for XIV.

I’ve said this before in a post, but I do follow their Regnum, Kindred, Genus model for this codex, as it seems to be the standard for Raimdelle’s codex, which Jace would have followed and respected as he began a more “modern”, updated version of the codex.

I’d also like to thank @zaheela. It has been a while since I’ve spoken to this wonderful person, but they have supplied me with the little Jace icon in the bottom corner of the pages, and I still love it to this day. Thank you.

I also thank @haybayrhiannon for coloring the icon!

Next, I invite you all, of course, to reblog and like the posts as you see fit. I do appreciate the support.

And lastly, yet most importantly, I ask that you send in your ideas or monsters that you would like to see covered by the Hunter Codex and Jace. With your ideas and asks, I feel we can make quick work of the codex and fill up these pages!

Ragnum: Bloodborn Kindred: Scalekin Genus: Dragonfly Sub-species or Moniker: N/A Location: Coerthas Central Highalnds

The Dragonfly is a small scalekin, sometimes found accompanying other larger scalekin or often attacking in large swarms to get the jump on their foe.

A dragonfly is capable of certain wind magics. Although they aren’t much of a threat when they are alone, in groups they can be quite a hassle.

Jace says: “Underestimating the small and weak is your first mistake when facing a dragonfly. Though they might be frail, their attacks can lead to your downfall if you aren’t careful! Always stay alert, where there is one, there are likely more in hiding.”

FATES Involved: Judge, Jury, and Executioner (39),  Front and Center (40)

Quests: Burn Before Reading (38),Physician, Find Yourself (40)

Ragnum: Bloodborn Kindred: Scalekin Genus: Aevis Sub-species or Moniker: Thrustaevis Location: Coerthas Central Highalnds

A particularly rowdy and violent aevis, the Thrustaevis can be found most often on the frontlines of dragon and dravanian horde attacks.

The Thrustaevis, much like most of the similar aevis species, uses lightning-based attacks that can cover a wide area.

Jace says: “The Thrustaevis often come in small groups of about two to four. Alone they can be easily dealt with, but can be a hassle in swarms. Take care to try and avoid their thunder-based attacks.”

Ragnum: Bloodborn Kindred: Scalekin Genus: Wyvern Sub-species or Moniker: Naul Location: Coerthas Central Highlands

A wyvern often found flying in the skies above Coerthas, Naul is feared and hunted by many. Its most notable rampage is the attack on Steel Vigil alongside Svara.

Naul has become a target for many adventurers as of late, Grand Companies have noted the threat of the scalekin to Ishgard and neighboring city, Gridania.
