#septentrionalis
Note
I got curious thinking about some things, so what animal have you found with the most memorable (or weird) blood? Kind of an odd question, but I'm curious.
There are a bunch of frogs and also several lizards that have green blood, full of biliveridin, a waste product produced in the liver that is foul tasting to predators, and may also have immune benefits to the animals. So that’s fun! Boophis septentrionalis from Madagascar has this. Here’s one with a broken leg (actually missing a foot) where the whole limb has gone blue:
(Sorry for the weird photo frame, this is from Ye Olde Internet)

anyways I love northern fungus farming ants look at this one
(the video is blurry at parts)
youtube
[ID: a short video taken of an ant crawling on mossy pavement, using a macro lense that zooms in, with the center of the video the sharpest, and the edges slightly blurry.
An ant is shown walking quickly, the camera trailing after its blurry form for a few seconds, before the ant pauses, and the camera comes into focus on it. The cameraperson's voice says off screen says, "Thank you!"
When the camera is focused on the ant, its colors and details stand out. It has a dull rust red body, with a very dark grey triangle stripe on the back end of its body, and on its head, both pointing inward.
The ant moves its antenne a bit over a grain of sand on the pavement, then drops it and moves over to another one as the camera blurrs to follow it. This one it picks up and begins to carry away, with the rest of the video only focusing on the ant for a moment at a time, the rest of it blurry because the ant is moving too quickly.
End ID.]

Uncharismatic Fact of the Day
These birds are real bloodsuckers! Vampire finches get their unique feeding habits. Individuals use their sharp beaks to create shallow wounds in the body and wings of larger birds like boobies, and drink the exposed blood as a supplement to their diet of insects. However, their victims don't seem to mind-- it's thought that this behaviour also removes parasites from their host's feathers.

Ok, everyone is excited about Arle and Remuria and Childe's appearance but I'm eyeing this book in the datamined files.
It's called Anecdota Septentrionalis, "Tales of the North" and it's of 3* rarity, like all important books in this game.
(septentrionalis generally means "northern" but also it's derived from "septentriones", the Latin word used for the seven stars of the Big Dipper)
Also the ship looks dangerously Greek.
You know whose lore it is.

Beschorneria septentrionalis
Beschorneria is a small Mexican genus related to Agave, with plants typically fond in the mountains in forested areas, rather than in the drier lowlands. The most commonly grown species is Beschorneria yuccoides, but B. septentrionalis is a smaller plant with vivid green leaves, rather than glaucous-green like B. yuccoides. The flower stalk of B. septentrionalis is also a brighter red, and it remains attractive all the way through to the end of the summer as the large fruits develop. It does well in semi-shade (or in full sun in cooler coastal climates), and it is quite cold-tolerant to as low as 10° F (-12° C).

most esteemed matchmaker, if it pleases you may i come forward with a proposition of great importance. perhaps fair ser dream should be wed to ser james the beast, duke of carolina septentrionalis. though his demeanor may lack allure he has proven a loyal friend to ser dream and the power ser dream would amass by joining forces with ser james' mighty realm, though their ways be brutish and juvenile, must not be underestimated. and ser james, too consumes with ruling his realm, would not concern himself with ser dream's doings with ser george
The Beast has wicked ways, I'm sure that he is a witch, just good at concealing his dark magicks... his emissary Karl goes missing for long periods of time under his care, and comes back strange! Strange! Have we forgotten the rumors of his dungeons! Our detest for his cold ways-- Nay, nay... i forget myself. Tis rumors, after all, and you have a point in all this. But surely there are better. Surely there are better.

Cuban Tree Frog (Osteopilus septentrionalis)
This heart-melter is native to Cuba, the Cayman Islands and the Bahamas, but an invasive species in places like Florida. These little invasive troublemakers enjoy clogging toilet drains and climbing into power boxes to cause power outages! But look at that face…how can you not forgive them…
