Temtem is a term consisting of numerous known animal species found throughout the Airborne Archipelago. The anatomy of Temtem more often than not resemble that of animals, though some species of Temtem are known to have a human-like anatomy, or even resembling inanimate objects or plants. All known species occupy the Airborne Archipelago - a group of floating islands where Temtem and Humans coexist peacefully.
Temtems are highly reminiscent to Pokémon, possibly an example of convergent evolution.
Biology[]
Temtem, in overall terms, don't have a specific body type and vary drastically between different species. Different types of Temtem occupy different environments, their physical anatomy unique per species depending on the location found, and the conditions each Temtem has to adapt to. Their intelligence levels have a wide range, with some such as Valiar proven to be highly intelligent and capable of their own form of language, whereas others (while showing Human-like emotion) such as Tateru, possess a more animal-like nature. While many are wild, some species had been purely bred by Humans for specific tasks.
Some universal traits though had been observed, such as their enjoyment in battling one another.
Evolution[]
Most Temtem undergo a transformation throughout their lives referred to by Humans as "evolving". Evolution in Temtem, unlike real animals but similar to Pokémon, are undergone within mere seconds after a Temtem reaches a specific stage in "levels" as it is termed. The often maximum in amount of evolutionary levels in most Temtem is three, though some Temtem could only reach to two levels, and even fewer can't evolve at all. The reasons behind this alteration between Temtems is unclear, and vary between different Temtem.
Types[]
All known species of Temtems are classified within various types - a kind of physical or chemical trait. Temtem types vary between Neutral, Fire, Water, Nature, Electric, Earth, Mental, Wind, Digital, Melee, Crystal, and Toxic. Each of these types are specialized and can either coincide or contradict one another.
Various Temtem have are classified under at least one of these types, though some had been classified under two types due to sharing traits with multiple types at once, some of which even gaining a new type upon evolving (ex. The Water type Fomu gain the Wind type on evolving into Wiplump)
Origin[]
The exact origin of Temtem as an overall class is unknown. Some Temtem are implied to be domesticated and purely bred while others are naturally occurring within the wilds of the Airborne Archipelago.
