	Betazed has five continents and hundreds of islands. Great expanses of natural wilderness cover much of the planet, varying from dense jungles to wide canyons and cliffs. Betazed's jungles are home to an abundance of flora and fauna and left mostly undisturbed, although the only real danger (other than getting utterly and completely lost or having an unlikely run-in with a '''fogcat''') are the 'mud pits' which have been known to swallow uncautious travelers or wildlife within seconds.

			* '''Fogcat''' - a type of gray-white tiger with black eyes. The fogcat prefers jungles, but has also been known to make itself at home near mountain lakes. Unlike many felines, fogcats love to swim. They are generally shy and will retreat from humanoids when possible, but during shedding season fogcats will sometime wander up to convenient [[Betazoid\|Betazoids]] in hopes of them carrying a brush.

			* '''Nightwind''' - an eagle-sized bird of prey with silvery black feathers and a form of telepathic awareness. Nightwinds hunt mostly the large moths of Betazed and smaller mammals; seeing a nightwind when the moons are full is considered an omen of great change, usually for the better.

			* '''Oscoid''' - a kind of shellfish found in the Thaxan Ocean.

			* '''Theocondt''' - a colorful flightless bird, vaguely resembling a large Terran ostrich with webbing between its toes and long pointed beaks. Theocondts are capable of moving at speeds close to fifty kilometers per hour on the run, even through thick muck. Some myths say Betazoid warriors went into battle riding these animals.

			* '''Whispering Men''' - a highly evolved primate species which live in the deepest wilderness areas on Betazed. They get their names from the 'sound' of their thoughts, which seem like unintelligible whispers combined with a few basic emotions. They are much larger than Betazoids, standing nearly 2.5 to 3 meters tall and often weighing several hundred kilograms. They have thick gray fur and usually walk on all four limbs like gorillas. Whispering Men are extremely cautious and avoid contact with humanoids.

The muktok seems to thrive off a particular combination of nutrients only found in the soil of Betazed - attempts to cultivate these flowers on other worlds have been met with very little success.		* '''Muktok''' - a flower with a distinctive variegated, bristlelike foliage; they live for hundreds of years.

			* '''Oskoid''' - a plant with dark yellow leaves and purple veins; a Betazoid delicacy. Oskoid fronds are favored for their distinct taste and the warming sap that allows the flavor to change and develop as one eats.

	A broad diversity of plant and animal life lives on Betazed, and most are specially adapted to the pleasant, if often humid climate. Unlike some worlds, Betazed still has a number of large predators, though they generally avoid humanoid creatures and are well content to be left alone in turn.

Mount Traxanaxanos, the highest peak of Betazed, is located in the western Khara range. The coastal regions however are characterized by gentle hills and a pleasant subtropical climate.
