Hexium
- Smell:A crisp wet smell.
- Taste: While to humans it tastes bitter and like the color green, most herbivores seem drawn to it like flys to sugar.
- Uses: Great Feed for most Herbivores, the honeycomb inside is packed full of nutrients.
- Description: Up to four-foot tall grass, that starts out as a thin hexagonal base and grows into a fine point. Leading to being named Hexium or Hex Grass. It is one of the odder shaped flora of Tyleth and isn't really understood why it grew in such a way. The inside is not hallow and is more of a honeycombed like webbing to give it flexible strength.
Prinals
- Smell: Like the earth, after it is struck by lightning a charred electric sort of smoldering.
- Taste: Shockingly bitter and sour, it not only turns off humans but most herbivores won't eat it.
- Uses: Marks where Darringtinium Ore deposits though when dried they do not lose their color and are often used as decoration.
- Description: About two-foot tall grass, with a right magenta base that fades into the VantaBlack color that Darringtinium Ore is known for. It grows in thick around ore sites, leading some to think it one of the various prairie grasses solely tainted by the ore in the ground. The oddity from most of the grasses is it tends to vibrate and give off a low humming noise.

Verdain
- Smell: Freshly popped popcorn.
- Taste: Citrusy with a lemony flavor, most herbivores don't enjoy the taste but will eat it if it is the last thing left.
- Uses: Can be brewed into a tea as well as used a flavoring for moonshine.
- Description: Three-foot tall grass with vivid hues of greens some bordering on the psychedelic side of the hues. Lush grass but not really the most common of the common prairie grass and tends to hang close to water sources. Like most prairie grasses the bright lush colors are held at the base and darken as they grow out to their full length.
Azurim
- Smell: A sickly sweet scent to most humans though herbivores seem to be drawn to it.
- Taste: Mostly bitter to humans when raw but cooked it's like black currants, most herbivores will eat it.
- Uses: Often used as a flavor additive to moonshine, a flavoring for some pies, and even a few herbal teas.
- Description: Two-foot tall grass with vivid colors of blues and some violets as they grow out. The vivid blue colors stays closer to the base of the blades while a the further out turns darker and can even become more violet in color.

Ambril
- Smell: A sweet soft scent like vanilla baked from a day old batch of cookies, few herbivores really eat it.
- Taste: If you ever chewed on a piece of grass you know it tastes green and about as good as nothing.
- Uses: Can be mixed in with grasses for herbivores, used for starting fires, and weaving.
- Description: Five-foot tall grass that generally dots the grasslands like tight shrubs, it's long yellow tendrils often bright and vibrant at the ends of the blades and a light firey orange at the base. Generally losing their color as the dry out and become a more even tone throughout the long blades.
Rouge
- Smell: A light rose and honeydew fragrant.
- Taste: Sweet and like a ripe strawberry.
- Uses: Treats for Herbivores, flavoring for waters, teas, moonshine, and great snacks.
- Description: Six-foot tall grass that the base is often a dark deep red or soft maroon and fade out into a bright cherry red. Gorwing in large clumps and a rare sight.
