From Ben

the floating mansion was the party house i talked about in my short idea. So all characters should get drawn to it, thats how theyll all meet, yep.

And yes, there are talking creatures like HoP animals and non-talking ones like Star. While Star cannot talk, she certainly does act humanish. She winks, licks her beak, ruffles her feather and flaps her wings in her own sort of communication. So in a way she has the personality of an animal creature in a story like The Obelisk or PoP. She just cant talk. Think of it like the Dodo in the beginning of The Obelisk.

Hmm, although a nickname for those would be cool, i like the idea a lot. I'll leave it up to you to decide since your story has the talking animals, Wyvernian.
