>What are the interresting critters in your that wouldn't be featured in a traditional bestiary ?
The most unique "fauna" within my setting are definitely "Cytes" which are essentially sort of designed, biological robots that work sort of like the white blood cells of the biomechanical Mega City the setting takes place in.
>What is their relation with the natural enviroment and the different civilizations of the world ?
The Cytes were originally created to maintain, repair and defend the City's living infrastructure as well as to provide various other logistical, regulatory and utility functions to both the City, it's artirficial ecosystems and it's denizens. In the contemporary timeframe of the setting however they are far more of an unknown and unpredictable quantity, with the denizens of the City having long since lost control of the cyte swarms due to the millenia of civil war the City underwent.
>How they relate to the magic and spiritual side of your world ?
The cytes were created with the advanced biotechnology of the golden age of the City built inherent into their biology, making them inherently capable of "biomancy" (active reshaping of their bodies as well as heightened regeneration) as well as using the "magic" of the setting that is tied to a sort of idea of extradimensional "orgone field" bs that interacts with helicoid structures. In practice, this "magic" allows them to create silk thin sheets of near impenetrable "shield" fabrics, levitate via temporarily "immovable" rods of helicoid anchors, and produce armor piercing lances and flesh lacerating threads of fibers that harden on command.
Picture related depicts a swarm of cytes assaulting a bunch of unfortunate soldiers.
>Do they have any use as an alchemical ingredient or magical component for spells ?
Not really, though many of their constituting organs and parts are highly valued by the denizens of the City due to their advanced nature.
