The Isle of Hybrids is arguably the largest island in Mythos. The island is divided into 5 parts, technically 6 if one includes The Heartwood. The 5 main parts are the Glacial Tundra in the north, the Ancient Ruins in the south, the Great Plains in the east, and the Sea of Sand in the west. The middle is the Spirit Woods, and the center of the Spirit Woods is an entirely different area known as The Heartwood, a place where everything is completely distorted.
Any creature that can change into a human also has a hybrid counterpart. The Hybrids have features of animals such as ears and tail, but still have human appearance. The traits visible can actually come in different combinations, such as having the eyes and fangs of a Snow Stalker or the ears and tail. Anthropomorphic Animals can also appear on this island, as a result from acquiring magic in manner. They are considered "pseudo hybrids" by some, but are loved as much as actual hybrids.
As this island has the most diverse geography, as well as a plethora of unique species, it has one of the longest entries in the book.
Glacial Tundra - a large open plain covered in snow. It gets it's name from the giant glaciers that cover the plain, as well as giant mountains made from rock and ice. The natives of this place have managed to carve homes out of the various glaciers, and they have major cities in the mountains. When you encounter the natives, you must never be hostile. They are friendly to those who are natives to the island, and are extremely friendly to Hybrids, almost to the point of worship or being infatuated. The creatures that live here are fluffy or fat so as to keep warm at night or when the harsh wind blows. The plants here are either evergreen or have some elemental properties, and can be used in liquid augments. However, there are only a few as the environment is extremely harsh, having an average temperature of about 0 degrees Fahrenheit.
Flora
Spruce - a dark wooded tree that has no magical properties
Pine - same as the spruce, but is lighter
Tundra Grass - grass that is very pale and has adapted to the cold of the Glacial Tundra, with very little of the plant actually sticking out from the snow
Frost Flower - a type of rose that is used in potions, jewelry, and decoration. The flower seems to be made from ice due to its coloration
Kelp - one of the few sources of food in the Glacial Tundra. It is found during ice fishing majorly.
Fauna
Natural Fauna
Snowshoe Hare - a white hare that has adapted to the cold environment of Glacial Tundra. Sometimes kept as pets

Ice Wretch - a large, worm like creature with a mouth that opens four ways (vertically and horizontally at the same time). It can sense when prey is near due to the vibrations that it's prey makes when walking. While the vibrating may be subtle for us, it is like a beacon for them, as the snow is very calm and still. When they move, they rely on sensing the heat of the prey. They also have the ability to breath ice, which is extremely dangerous
Ice Dragon - dragons that can breath ice, rather than the traditional fire. They have adapted to the cold and are thus immune to it, unless it drops below zero, in which case they will hide and wait for it to be warm again. Like all dragons, they have the ability to turn into a human if they please
Yuki - a ghost-like form of the Snow Fox that can become human if they please. The have the ability to cause blizzards, but only in self-defense, as they do not wish to bring harm to anyone

Aisu, the white bear - a giant polar bear that somehow acquired magic, making it bigger and more aggressive. It can cause large waves of snow to appear by swiping with it's claws, and it's roar causes those that hear it to become disoriented.
Ancient Ruins - a place where cities made from marble and limestone once stood. The people who live in this area are majorly fishers, as this part of the island is made up of many beaches and peninsulas, but it has plenty of fields as well. The majority of the animals that live here are birds and fish, but there are things such as boars as well. Creatures such as Hydras and Chimeras live here as well. The houses here are made from sandstone, some are renovated houses that the ancient people used, and some are just made from drift wood.

Great Plains - the entire eastern part of the Hybrid Isle. Many of the animals are grazers, but there are a few predators that can and will kill you. The people who live here are farmers and hunters.

While the place is open planes, there are trees that can be used to hide in if needed.

Sea of Sand - the western part of the island. The buildings here are made from sandstone, and, in richer communities, wood. The wood is imported from other parts of the island. The majority of the wildlife here is adapted for the lack of water, and same goes for the plants. There is a part of this place that is extremely dangerous to cross, as there are creatures that dwell beneath the sand, and sand storms that last for hours on end.

Titans
Rumble, the Great One - like its cousin, L'hiver the Tunneler, this Sand Wretch has grown four legs at its front. It has also gained the ability to breath lighting
Spirit Woods - the center of Hybrid Isle, and probably the best place for those who wish to start an adventure. The creatures here are often friendly, even predators such as the Mountain Lion. The people who live here either live in groves or live in the trees. There are supposedly even a few kingdoms that exist here. This place gets its name from the supposed spirits that one can hear or see.

They also say that spirits do actually live in the woods and often try and help you.

Heartwood - the central part of the Spirit Woods. In this place, one can never map the path out, for it is always changing, as though something were changing the paths that one walks on. You can walk up trees, go through multiple versions of the same area, and encounter creatures from other realms and realities. It is rumored that at the center of this chaotic place, there is a tree of titanic size, made from a kind of crystal. The tree is said to be sentient, which would explain why the paths constantly change, as the tree is the source of all magic in the world. Nobody knows for sure as almost no one has made it to the center of the woods. Only those with a pure soul and sol can hope to actually see the tree, which is known as the "Eternal Tree"

Same as the Spirit Woods
