You have found a link that leads nowhere... deliberately.
Reasons?[edit]
The reason for this is to clean up the Special:Wantedpages, thus making our lives easier behind the scenes.
So, what links lead here?[edit]
There are too many to bother wasting our time listing. So here's a list of pages that link here. This article is a list of fictional and real animals and plants mentioned in the re-imagined series as existing on the Twelve Colonies. For the most part, the colonies appear to have the same organisms as present-day earth, with the exceptions noted below.
In keeping with the naturalistic science fiction concepts that Ron D. Moore uses to model the series, it is unlikely that we may see any life forms outside of those found on any of the Earth-like planets of the Twelve Colonies.
Fictional[edit]
Plants[edit]
- Baltar: A parting gift: hand-rolled from some of the finest Fumarella leaf on Caprica. It's also one of the last left in the universe. (Water)
- An homage to the original series, in which Starbuck's cigars are referred to as "fumarellos". This plant may be similar or identical to tobacco.
- Roslin: I would like to explore alternative treatment. [...] Have you ever heard of Chamalla extract? (Act of Contrition)
- Resembles (somewhat) herbal cannabinoids and opioids in its pain-killing and hallucinogenic effects, which are found in the plant cannabis and the opium poppy, respectively.
Real[edit]
Animals[edit]
Mammals[edit]
- Adama: ...then grab your gun and bring in the cat. (Mini-Series)
- Cally: "She said the engine powerup sequence began by squeezing something that looks like a red ligament with blue veins on the right side coming out of a sack of gooey fluid, shaped like a... dog." (Six Degrees of Separation)
- Tyrol: "Take it for a ride. Treat it like a horse." (Six Degrees of Separation)
- Starbuck: "A horse. Why not a goat? I mean, that's good, right? Think of it as a goat." (Six Degrees of Separation)
- Rats
Birds[edit]
- While the animals have never been specifically mentioned, it's reasonable to assume the Raptor is named after them.
- Cami makes a mention of having "chicken pot pie". (Mini-Series)
- Jammer: I don't care if they put a giant parakeet in here. If the colonel says build a cell, we build a cell. (Resistance)
- Jammer: "You just want to bury your heads in the sands like Ostriches."
Reptiles[edit]
- While the animal has never been specifically mentioned, it's reasonable to assume the Viper is named after it, and Roslin saw halucinatory vipers.
- Pythons (Home, Part I)
Fish[edit]
- Baltar: There was an off-road bridge, over the Euclid river. I used to go there, when I was a boy. Watch the fish try and swim upstream. They were mesmerizing. (Home, Part I)
- What Baltar describes, without naming, are anadromous fish - almost certainly a type of salmon.
Plants[edit]
- Roslin: I need you to send my ID code on the exact same frequency: D, as in dog, dash, 456, dash, 345, dash, A as in apple. (mini-series)
- Gaeta: Seven other container ships are refusing to release their supplies. Food, medicine, even coffee. (Resistance)
- Roslin: Chamalla and Licorice. Would you like some? (Resistance)
