Cynder : My mother and I were just beginning to understand each other, and I… I was helping her recover, too. In a healthier way than Kaos was. My mother is evil, yes but… there was good in her at one point. If I had stayed, maybe I could have brought that good back out of her. But I just couldn’t bare to watch her destroy Skylands and hurt my friends.

Lost Queen : Kurosia had many strange native species, but as for rare…

The Uka (top) dwelled mostly in caves and dark shadows, which of course, was aplenty on our beautifully evil mountain. However, they had a tendency to prey upon us. Their tails were able to hypnotize us, therefor we hunted them to near extinction. They still dwell in the areas around our city, though rare enough that I’ve never seen one myself. 

Plant wise, the Praying Venus plants were only kept in the castle. There were a few on the mountain but, they were of course rare. We kept them in our gardens to eat any varmints from getting to our plants. Or, we’d offer them as gifts to other villains that pledge themselves. I actually had a few myself, nippy creatures they were. They too used to prey on us, but after one of our Queens killed theirs, they happily offered their services ( moreso to save their own lives but, I digress ).
