Rift Biome

Within this Biome Shrine, Umbra Type can be found within, like all Biome Shrines they are under the care of Dobutsu who possess origin forms of the animals native to the Saon Wildlife Preserve. Due to the taint of Datara the Saon Tribe resolved to strengthen themselves with the Alpha of the Saon Tribe going into hibernation in order to keep all of the Umbra Types dormant. Regardless the Dobutsu native to the Saon Wildlife Reserve prefer to live and fight in their origin forms rather than their Dobutsu forms this is due to only realizing that they were in fact Dobutsu when Aria encountered them. Despite that they are highly intelligent and were able to be taught the human language just in case any got captured while they can not typically speak it due to their vocal chords not being meant for such a thing they do understand when it is spoken to them. Umbra Type animals are typically dormant and are in petrified forms whether as petrified eggs which can be mistaken as rocks or simply being petrified normally which can be mistaken as realistic statues, when they encounter natural energy it causes them to re-awaken with their petrified forms flaking off revealing their true appearance. While Umbra Type animals don't look any different than their normal counterparts unless they have been completely tainted those with natural sensory, Summon Creatures & Sages are able to see the reddish-black foul aura which surrounds their body as well as their true coloring which is various shades of purple, with black/grey or white as additional colors.

From the destruction of Himeigakure Aria built an Alpha Nest for the Saon Tribe primarily to safeguard the hibernating Saon Tribe Alpha as she (Aria) understood the dangers of letting the Umbra Types awaken and run free. The fragile balance of the eco-systems of the Saon wildlife preserve would be destroyed resulting in a large loss of life. To that end she tasked the Saon Beta's to guard Arceus so that it isn't awoken resulting in all of the Umbra Type's likewise re-awakening as well. The Saon Tribe Alpha nest is very secure despite being in the center of the Saon Wildlife Reserve mainly due to Saon native animals own temperament. But it's main defense lies in the Soan Tribe who live within it. It was made to mirror a temple and is comprised four entry points (North, West, East & South) past that within the nest proper is a maze with eight layers (Stretches over 500ft below the surface) and within the center of each maze are places where young are reared as well as entry points via tunnels to get to a lower level. There are exits which only open from lower levels for reinforcements or quick escapes by Saon Tribe Dobutsu, each level is separated from one another by 20ft thick floors and the exits are a series of tunnels with "gates" which lock as dobutsu move within preventing opportunistic enemies from waiting until an exit opens and sneaking in. The walls are covered in vines both on the outside while being reinforced with wood on the inside as a frame while earth is used to coat over the wood further emphasizing the temple appearance. Due to this it is highly resilient with the floor being more durable than the walls but both were made utilizing NE based Beast Arts to shape and create the temple. Both can only be harmed by utilizing Natural/Spiritual based techniques (or their equivalents in other damage types) which not only have piercing but are strong against Nature Release. At the bottom of the 8th Level in the very center hibernates the Alpha of the Saon Tribe surrounded by dormant eggs of Umbra Type animals.
