Hostile Encounters
The Aether is not peaceful. Zephyrs, Cockatrices, and Sliders roam the islands, while Sentries and Mimics guard treasure. Elemental foes like Fire Crystal, Ice Crystal, Thunder Crystal, and Cloud Crystal spawn minions that fight alongside them. Whirlwinds and Evil Whirlwinds push you around, and the Valkyrie and Valkyrie Queen defend their territory fiercely.
Passive Mobs and Loot
Not everything wants to fight. Aerbunnies, Sheepuffs, Flying Cows, Phygs, and Moas are friendly — Moas can be hatched from colored eggs and ridden. Blue Swets drop Blue Gummy Swets when defeated.
Dungeons are gated by Boss Doorway blocks in 
Angelic Stone, 
Carved Stone, 
Hellfire Stone, and 
Light Angelic Stone variants. Bronze Keys open locked doors, and Altars serve as crafting or summoning stations. Capes such as the 
Agility Cape and 
Blue Cape, plus parachutes like the 
Cold Parachute, help you traverse the dangerous heights.
