One of the largest creatures inhabiting the caves, the Greater Cave Hoppa is a predator near the top of the food chain. Their tentacles are tipped with sickles for striking down prey. The luminescent organs on the sides of their heads are used to intimidate potential predators and rivals for mates. A trait unique to the Cave Hoppas of South Continent is the vocal cords in their breathing tubes. They are capable of more developed vocalizations than other hoppa species. By producing a high-pitch squeal, they are able to stun and disorientate geists, which rely on echolocation.

Growing to about half as tall as the GCH, the Lesser Cave Hoppa is a seed-eating organism found in the caves and the surface near them. They have a specialized diet of Raga Seeds. The seeds are often embedded in carcases, so the hoppa needs to pick them out using its sickles and horizontal beaks.
They are also found on the surface in the plains, where they feed on Siwari seeds.

====Cleaner Hoppa====

<br />'''Cleaner Hoppa'''
<br />Status:
<br />progenitor: Lesser Cave Hoppa
<br />-> Forest Hoppa]]

The Cleaner Hoppa is a species from the caves that feed on Cedya spores. Using the sticky comb-like appendage, they brush off the surfaces and creatures, which both provides them with food and keeps Cedyas from growing on those that are cleaned. Due to this behavior, the Cleaner Hoppa has few predators.

====Forest Hoppa====

<br />'''Forest Hoppa'''
<br />Status:
<br />progenitor: Cleaner Hoppa]]

The Forest Hoppa is a close relative to the Cleaner Hoppa that lives in the surface jungles and feeds mostly on Hexis spores. Unlike the Cleaner, the behavior of letting other creatures come up for a grooming is a liability since Hexis spores aren't dangerous like those of Cedyas. Forest Hoppas are skittish and quite nimble, running at the first sign of a potential predator.
