==Realistic Biomes==
* '''Polar/Ice''' - Freezing cold land covered primarily in packed ice which sees little sunlight.
* '''Tundra''' - A cold, barren land with frozen soil, almost no trees, and short growing seasons allowing only grasses, shrubs, and mosses.
* '''Taiga''' - Cold forests mostly containing evergreen conifers, with very short summers and cold, snowy winters.
* '''Alpine Tundra''' - A high-altitude, treeless, freezing area with thin air which may be covered in snow throughout the whole year.
* '''Montane Forest''' - High-elevation deciduous forest lands that may be cool or warm depending on their place in the world.
* '''Temperate Forest''' - Forests mostly made of deciduous trees that see distinct warm summers and cool winters.
* '''Temperate Grassland''' - Grassland which sees freezing winters and hot summers, tough grasses, and low rainfall.
* '''Savanna''' - Grassland which experiences heavy rainfall in one season, but is otherwise quite dry and warm.
* '''Wooded Savanna''' - Savanna filled with low-density trees that do not create a canopy.
* '''Subtropical Forest''' - Forest that sees high precipitation, warm weather, and humidity, with a distinct canopy.
* '''Subtropical Rainforest''' - Tall forests that see regular rainfall but experience a short dry season, with a multi-layered canopy and rich soils.
* '''Monsoonal Forest''' - Deciduous forest that experiences a long dry season followed by a season of extreme rainfall. 
* '''Tropical Rainforest''' - Tall, lush rainforests that see heavy continuous rainfal and no dry season, with several distinct canopies and poor soil quality.
* '''Mediterranean''' - Land with cool and wet winters and dry summers, with most rainfall falling during winter and a lot of sunlight.
* '''Dry Grassland''' - Cool grassy lands with low-growing vegetation and patchy coverage, perfect for grazing animals.
* '''Semiarid Desert''' - A desert with less sand dunes and more barren rocky ground that sees a wide range of temperatures.
* '''Arid Shrubland''' - Land with very little rainfall covered mostly in sparse shrubs and stones rather than sand dunes.
* '''Arid Desert''' - A very cold or very hot barren, dusty land with almost no precipitation, hostile toward most flora and fauna.
==Riigan Biomes==
* '''Glass Mountains''' - Due to mountains made of shimmering stone, glass mountain regions suffer from no vegetation whatsoever thanks to the storms of glass grains.
* '''Hills of Burden''' - A region in the Pearl Mountains which are really difficult to climb, causing them to be mostly void of trees and wildlife.
* '''Blightlands''' - Tropical forested land filled with poisonous plants and animals due to the natural toxic blight bursts that occur there.
* '''Burning Rainlands''' - A barren, toxic region that experiences rain that slowly dissolves organic material.
* '''Blue Forest/Night''' - A temperate, humid region which sees heavy blue-tinted seasonal fog, shrouding the land in darkness.
