On 27 July 20186 February 2026 By AriIn Tutorials, World Building13 Comments

Last week's post was about creating a race, focusing on appearance, type and genders.  Now we're going to look at the habitat of the race. Just to clarify, when I say habitat it is referring to more than just the terrain and will encompass a number of factors.

How To Build Your World: Fauna

On 8 July 201631 January 2026 By AriIn Tutorials, World Building, Writing Tips6 Comments

So we are back with the World Building Series again. Last week I covered Flora (plants) and this week, it's Fauna (animals). I even included a little special bonus at the end of this article. 🙂 If you are building a world, the chances are you are going to want animals. Even ice planets can have species (think Tauntauns from Hoth).

I am back on the World Builder Series. (If you missed the first two parts were The Sun & Seasons and Landscapes).  So now it's time to turn our attention to water and its importance when creating worlds.

This blog post was suggested by YokoNakajima from deviantART. Big thanks for suggesting this topic. I am always happy to hear from my readers on their suggestions for a new article/writing topic.  If you want me to write about something specific, just use this form to let me know. So I thought I would add it to my World Building series.
