Aurelia

Aurelia is a tidally-locked terrestrial planet orbiting around a red dwarf star located about 40 light-years from the Sol System. Comparable in size to Earth, Aurelia is a world with abundant surface water and a wide variety of native fauna and flora.

Physical aspects
Aurelia is tidally locked to its sun, meaning that one half of the planet permanently faces the star, while the other side is in perpetual darkness. As a result, the dayside of Aurelia is eternally castigated by a humongous hurricane and violent rainstorms, while on the nightside, the ocean is frozen and a perpetual ice age takes place.

Ecology
Complex life is only found on the habitable zone between Aurelia's day and night sides. On this area, swamps and wetlands make up the primary terrain. All life on Aurelia is carbon-based. Covering much of the habitable terrain are plant-like animals called Stingerfans, whose roots are eaten by the amphibious Mudpods. These in turn are preyed by Gulphogs: large ostrich-like predators with a hierarchical social structure. The most dangerous species known in Aurelia, however, is the tiny Hysteria, which can group into large colonies that poison, digest and grow breeding spores out of their prey.
