There are lots of animals, food, and both on Pavala.

Animals

Common animals

Kiya

The Kiya is the primary mount of Pavala. The moa-like animal can carry a little less than a horse can, but can run a little faster. Kiyas have small horns that jut out from the top of their head, and are used to wrap reins around with which they are controlled. Kias are very social, living in herds, and are easily domesticated. They have been bred over thousands of years and have various derivatives. Kiyas have an extensive variety of color patterns.

Knont

The Knont (Unuvi: Hshila) is a two-legged creature, much like an orinthopod, with the milk production capabilities of a cow and the wool-growing capabilities of a sheep. They make a high pitched, croaking neigh from their long snouts and are not shy to spit on anything they find annoying. Underneath their massive cloud of wool is a lithe build which makes them generally unfit for meat cultivation compared to other domesticated animals. Their very ingrained herd mentality is augumented by their use of patterning in their wool to help identify members of social groups; their wool can have a wide range of both patterns and colors, but the quintessential knont has green-brown zebra-like stripes.

Being bipedal, knonts must bend over both to graze and to be milked. Their milk, is famed for its deliciously sweet, thick and creamy taste, though it is unsuitable to be refined into processed dairy products such as cheese.

Food

Common in Unuvun

Main article: Unuvi Cuisine

Plam

Plams are a cross between a banana and an orange; the succulent, sweet part grows in columns inside a banana-like structure, but when peeled more closely resembles an orange with compartmentalized, disc-like pieces that are generally sweet but with a slight tinge of citrus.

Kìchui

The kìchui is a vegetable that is used to create kìchuiseti, the paste which is the backbone of Unuvi cuisine. It is slightly sweeter than miso paste.

Fusave

Fusave, also known as Unuvi Rice, is a type of cereal crop that is native to Unuvun.
