The planet had a very extensive animal life. Native mammals included the suubatar, a six-legged animal primarily used as a luxury mount, the sadain, a mount often used by those who couldn't afford a suubatar, the shanh, a feared predator that hunted in packs, the surepp, a domestic animal often herded by the nomadic Alwari, and the lorqual, the largest creature of the Ansionian plains. There were also many other creatures, like the spiky tumbleweed-like creature called the Chawix, which was actually a plant. It impaled its prey as the wind carried it. A species of insects called Kyren would often darken the skies. Another being of the planet was the gairk, a creature that would capture prey that fell into its watery habitat by fitting together with others of its kind like a jigsaw puzzle. The weirdest of Ansionian fauna was probably the ongun-nur, a huge but light flying creature that relied on the wind to travel around the plains.

Though small stands of trees dotted the landscape, the world was often swept by high winds, as the number of trees was not plentiful enough to disrupt the airflow. Most species were either avians who rode the wind or sure-footed enough to remain on the ground. Volcanic vents were also common on the planet's surface. There were few hills on the vast prairies, some of them home to the Gwurran, a species related to the dominating native race, the Ansionians. Though definitely smaller, they were very akin to the Ansionians.

Ansion was a planet in the Mid Rim near Vortex and Bilbringi with wide plains dotted with cities and villages.
