Galactic Guides: Cyclonia

Cyclonia is a dry, rocky planet, but that doesn’t mean it’s barren!

Cyclonia is a rough planet with strong winds and even stronger rocks. The critters on this world are a sturdy bunch, with tough exteriors but delicious interiors.

The Creatures & Critters:

With the planet being so dry and borderline inhospitable, the creatures that dwell here need to be a sturdy bunch and as tough as the planet itself.

The Scorching Desert is home to quite a few of these tough critters. The Tentacolon seems to be some kind of subterranean monster. No one quite knows how far down it goes, not that you’d want to know with that fiery display it’s putting on! Spraying flames like a BBQ gas canister gone rogue!

Not everything in The Scorching Desert is an immediate threat though. The Flapperdash is correctly named with how ear-flappingly fast it is! A group called the ”Speed Runners” compete to catch as many Flapperdashs as they can in 2 minutes on this planet. When caught, they drop some delicious meat slices, perfect for any meaty recipe.

The Shrubs & the Vines

With water being a rare resource on this planet, it’s a botanical miracle that the planet has any botany. Instead, it’s quite the opposite! Cyclonia is home to an array of many different species of flora, but bear in mind that most of it is spiky and harmful in nature. A great example of one of these prickly plants is the Cactopus, spiky on the outside and almost entirely water on the inside! Is the risk truly worth the reward? The answer is always: yes!

Further down south on the planet is The Spikey Pathway, the perfect place to collect a trailer's worth of Lime Slime. This slimy substance is the ideal ingredient and packs a citrussy punch! Add a little bit of water and you’ve got yourself the perfect Mama’s Lemonade.

That’s another tour done! With Cyclonia crossed off the list, we’ve now visited everything within the Inner Ring. We’ll have to pack a bit more equipment for our next travels, wherever that may be! There’s a whole Horseshoe Nebula to explore! Don’t forget to join our Discord and let us know what you want to see in our next Galactic Guide! We’ll be sure to cook up a storm.
