Ori (parts 1 and 2)

Horn Beetle: A colossal scarab beetle covered in impenetrable stone armor, dark gray and brown in color. Atop its head is a giant forked horn that it slams into the ground. Its abdomen glows bright orange, revealing its vulnerable area.

Flying and hanging creatures

• Darkwings: Small, bird-like creatures that resemble miniature versions of Kuro's main owl. They have a completely black silhouetted body, four ominously glowing yellow eyes, and sharp wings.
• Skeeto: Resembling giant malaria-carrying mosquitoes or wasps, they have an elongated purple abdomen, a long, sharp proboscis that they aim at Ori before ramming, and translucent wings.
• Spiders (Arachne / Spiderlings): Multi-legged creatures that hang from webs or crawl on walls. They have round, bloated bodies covered in glowing purple dots (eyes) and poison glands.

• Crawlers / Slimes: Resemble amorphous, gelatinous blobs or round lumps of corruption.
• Normal: glow a deep purple or pulsating crimson color.
• Spiked: Covered with sharp bony growths on the back.
• Ice and Magma variants: Depending on the location (Forlorn Ruins or Horu Volcano), they change color to a frosty blue with snow needles or to a bright orange, resembling chunks of living lava. • Hoppers: Amphibious monsters that vaguely resemble ugly, fat toads with unnaturally powerful hind legs. They have a huge toothless mouth, and their body shimmers with purple neon.
• Spitters: These resemble a cross between a toad and a lizard with an unnaturally distended crop. Their skin is dark, streaked with bright red, and a red, flaming mucus (fire flowers) constantly oozes or flies out of their mouths.
• Rammer Beetles: Resembling massive rhinoceroses or scarabs, they are protected on the front by a thick, dark gray shield of bone or stone that completely covers their face. The back of their body is soft, unprotected, and pulsates with a purple glow. • Mantises: Large, insect-like creatures resembling praying mantises. They have thin, angular legs and long, blade-like mandibles at the front. They are colored an aggressive purple or crimson.
• Corrupted Gorleks: Formerly peaceful anthropomorphic forest dwellers (resembling large ape-like creatures or yetis) who have succumbed to corruption. They appear hunched over, large, with faded gray-purple fur, eerily glowing eyes, and bony growths.

• Common Spider Enemies: Small to medium-sized monsters that inhabit dark areas. They spit poison, leap suddenly at Ori from walls, or descend on webs. They have glowing purple or green eyes and dark shells.
• Mora — The main spider boss: A massive, ancient spider infected with the Wither. Her appearance is frighteningly monumental: her massive abdomen is covered in neon-green, glowing growths and spines, she has numerous long, bony legs, and enormous mandibles. The battle with her takes place in the pitch-black depths of the Overgrown Core, where she attacks Ori with her claws, summons smaller spiders, and destroys the arena. (WHEN SHE WAS INFECTED BEFORE!!!)

Willow Stone: A living fel crystal protecting the Heart of the Willow Tree. The fight revolves around projectile ricocheting and redirection.

Mora: A giant spider trapped in the pitch-black depths of the Overgrown Depths. She moves quickly along walls, spits venom, and spawns swarms of smaller spiders. The final phase of the fight takes place in complete darkness.

Howl: The first major predator in the second game. A huge, ferocious wolf with a rotting maw, covered in corruption. Ori fights him off with a torch.

Niven Forest (Ori and the Will of the Wisps)

• Inkwater Marsh: The starting location, full of overgrown roots and old ruins.
• The Wellspring: A huge mill with crystal clear water and mechanisms made of giant gears.
• Silent Woods: A dead, gray area littered with fossilized owl bones where the Scream reigns supreme.
• Luma Pools: Fabulous coral lakes with neon water and water lilies.
• Baur's Reach: Snow-capped peaks and icy caves where the giant bear Baur sleeps. Nibel Forest (Ori and the Blind Forest)

• Swallows' Nest: A homely, quiet, and initially flourishing corner where Naru, Ori, and Gumo live.
• Valley of the Wind: A large, rocky area with wind currents. Kuro's nest is located here.
• Misty Woods: A mysterious place where fog completely changes the structure of the map and confuses the player with every step.
• Elemental Trees: Sorrow's Gorge (airy Wind Element), Forlorn Ruins (icy Ice/Earth Element), and Mount Horuzon (volcanic heart of the forest, Fire Element) • Mouldwood Depths: Eerie, dark, spider-infested crevices where Ori must navigate strictly from one light source to the next.
• Desert (Windtorn Ruins): Scorched golden dunes with ancient castles buried under the sand.

Ofer (a tall anthropomorphic lion gunsmith), Lupo (a small, long-nosed cartographer), Twillen (a robed creature who sells spirit shards), and Grom (a massive stone marmot builder).

Moki Village (Wellspring Glades)

This race's home and main refuge are the Wellspring Glades.
• Location: This is the central, most cozy and picturesque location of the game, hidden between the Ink Marsh and the Spring.
• Atmosphere: The village is built on huge tree branches and rock ledges. Moki houses are small wooden nest-huts with thatched roofs.

Village Development: Initially, the village is in disrepair due to Niven's decline. However, as the story progresses, Ori can bring Gorlek ore to the builder, Grom (a Gorlek character). With this ore, the village can be fully restored: new houses for Moki can be built, the thorns cleared, beautiful gardens planted, and sturdy bridges erected, transforming the Springfields into a thriving and safe oasis.

The Moki are a native race of peaceful and friendly creatures that inhabit the lands of Niven in Ori and the Will of the Wisps. • Build: Small, mammalian creatures that resemble a hybrid of a lemur, a meerkat, and a ferret. They are about the same height as Ori.
• Coat: Short fur, brown and white in colour.
• Face: They have large, pointed ears and dark circles around their eyes, giving them a panda-like appearance. All Mokis have bright, glowing yellow eyes.
• Movement characteristics: They have long bodies and a long tail with a white tip. They can walk and stand on two hind legs, but when in a hurry or frightened, they run quickly on all fours. Moki cubs are called pups.

Lupo is a cartographer, a creature of the same species as Grom (Moki). He is distinguished by his enormous backpack, filled to the brim with scrolls and maps, and his comical round glasses.

Grom is the architect of the Moki race. He resembles a large, upright meerkat or otter with a bushy tail, wearing a construction belt and a leather headband.

Tokk is a wandering chronographer and explorer, a blue-and-white bird resembling a long-billed heron or a tattered shoebill, carrying a backpack on his back.

Baur is an ancient bear, immersed in a centuries-long slumber. A gigantic creature, the size of a small rock, covered in thick, light-colored fur. Due to its long slumber, its back is covered in a veritable winter forest, with snow-covered branches and frost.

Kwolok is the great swamp guardian. He is a gigantic, ancient toad of incredible size. His skin is blue-green and covered in moss and growths. A massive bony growth resembling a crown adorns Kwolok's head, and his chin and neck are adorned with gold and fabric amulets, emphasizing his status as the wise ruler of the swamps.

Shriek is a deformed owl and the main antagonist of the second game. Born in the Badlands, she was exposed to the Rot, which mutated her body. Shriek appears emaciated, her bones partially exposed, and her plumage resembling fossilized gray mud or ash. One of her wings is deformed and resembles a bony paw, which she uses to rest on the ground, creating a frightening, half-crouched silhouette. Her head is featherless, revealing a dark skull with empty gray eyes.

Kuro is a colossal owl and the main antagonist of the first game. A gigantic bird with jet-black plumage, she embodies the darkness of night. Her wings span colossally, and her eyes glow with an ominous, cold yellow light. Her silhouette is dominated by sharp, angular lines, emphasizing her primal fury and power.

Sein is Ori's spiritual companion in the first game, serving as the light and eyes of the Spirit Tree. He has no physical body and appears as a floating, bright sphere emitting pure bluish-white light and sparks.

Ku is a young owl, Ori's adoptive sister and Kuro's daughter. Unlike her formidable mother, Ku is much smaller and more charming. She has soft bluish-gray plumage and large, expressive eyes. Her most distinguishing feature is her left wing, which has been damaged since birth and has almost no feathers. Because of this, Ori fashions an artificial wing for her from Kuro's feather.

Gumo is a member of the ancient Gumon race. A thin, lanky creature with long, spider-like limbs. Its body is covered in grayish-brown fur, and on its head is a distinctive disc-shaped growth, resembling a mask or a patterned wooden plate. Its long legs give it a clumsy, bouncy gait.

Naru is Ori's adoptive mother, a member of an unknown, gentle species native to the Nibel forest. She is a large, round, pear-shaped creature, resembling a cross between a bear and a panda. She has thick, dark (almost black) fur, save for a massive white "mask" on her face and a white belly. Naru has short, thick legs and very soft features.

Ori is a small, glowing Guardian Spirit. Its body is completely white and emits a soft light. Ori's anatomy resembles that of an anthropomorphic feline or rabbit: it has a long, flexible tail, thin legs with tiny hooves, large, pointed ears, and two small, glowing antennae on its head. Ori's eyes are completely black with contrasting white pupils. As in many other platformers, the protagonist of Ori and the Blind Forest and Ori and the Will of the Wisps expresses emotion solely through movement, body language, and soft sounds (sighs, squeaks).
