The Alnar Shrimp is a bioluminescent filter-feeder native to the shallow, nutrient-rich waters of Lake Tijonara and the surrounding wetlands of the Asari Region in the Habitual Belt on VOI 700 D. Known to the Senti Tribe as “Iru'vesh” (meaning “Starfall in the Water”), these tiny shrimp cluster in large, swirling clouds that shimmer in response to ambient light or movement.

Alnar Shrimp are often found near submerged Glowrush reeds or glowing patches of Alnar Moss, creating dazzling natural displays that have made them central to Senti rituals and lake lore.
