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
Snow Fox - a fox with white fur and a knack for mischief. The natives often keep them as pets due to their friendly nature as well as their natural instinct to defend family and their territory
Polar Bear - a white bear that is rather aggressive for a creature of the Glacial Tundra, even towards those native to the island or even the region
Frost Lynx - a type of cat native to the Glacial Tundra, and about the size of a horse. They, like the snow foxes, are kept as pets, but they are also used for transport, whether it be riding on their back or pulling a carriage
Seal - a large blubber-filled animal that is extremely calm and friendly, and can often be seen near native fishing camps. They are dark in coloration, which is uncommon for a creature of the Glacial Tundra
Frost Fin - a type of fish that is native to the Glacial Tundra year round
Mammoth - a large creature that had tusks and is covered in a thick, wooly coat
Magical Fauna
Snow Stalker - similar in appearance to the Frost Lynx, but their fur is more blue than white, and they can change into a human form. As such, the can mimic and understand human speech
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
Titians
L'hiver, the Tunneler - a giant Ice Wretch that is 8 Times the size of a normal one. It has four legs located at the front of it's body, and is now more mobile due to this. Rather than breathing ice, it now shoots ice shards from its mouth, which makes it even more deadly than a normal Ice Wretch
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.
