The Parched Prairie Zone is an area located on the Mobian continent of Tralius, in the southeastern area of it. In Purple Paw Continuity, it neighbors the canonical Red Outback Zone, which is located near the center of Tralius, somewhat to the north.

Its name is rather misleading, as it's not really as dry as one would think.

Geology

The Parched Prairie Zone is a large, somewhat flat zone primarily consisting of short to tall grasses and shrubs, with some trees dotted here and there. Small lakes can also be found around the Zone, as well as some small ravines and mesas.

Notable Areas

Dusty Gulch/Dusty Village

Located in the northwestern area of the Parched Prairie Zone, it is a large and somewhat shallow, U-shaped valley (a gulch) that runs from the northern border of the Parched Prairie Zone to the southeastern border. A river runs through the gulch; it begins at Lake Fortuna, which sits at the northern end of the Gulch, passes through the Wild Woodland Zone, and eventually reaches the southeastern coastline of Tralius.

A medium-sized village sits within the gulch itself, near the edge of Lake Fortuna's river.

Parched Prairie Egg Base

A large base located in the southwestern area of the Arid Prairie Zone. It is owned by the Eggman Empire, and serves as one of the bases for the Tralius Egg Army. This base is maintained by sub-boss Dominik the Devil, who answers directly to Tralius Egg Boss Maw the Thylacine.

A mine owned by the Eggman Empire is located somewhat close to the base; here, Dominik and his regiment of Egg Soldiers, as well as Burrobots and Excavators, mine for valuable materials.

Redstone Desert

A medium-sized desert located roughly in the middle of the Parched Prairie Zone. It is named for the large, rust-colored mesas that dot its landscape. It is the driest part of the Parched Prairie Zone.

A small village located at the northeastern border of the desert was attacked by Fracture the Badnik and his Horde, forcing its residents to flee; among these was Marley the Bilby, now a member of the Dusty Gulch Freedom Fighters.

Lake Fortuna

A decently-sized lake located near the northern border of the Parched Prairie Zone, it sits at the northern end of the Dusty Gulch. A river runs from Lake Fortuna; it travels all throughout the Gulch, and eventually reaches the southeastern coastline of Tralius. Lake Fortuna's river passes through the Wild Woodland Zone as well, where it branches with other rivers.

Flora and Fauna

Flora

Despite its name suggesting that little can survive here, the Parched Prairie Zone is a surprisingly fertile and variable landscape; while most of the flora consists of hardy short grasses and shrubs, medium-sized trees can be found here as well. There are a good number of fruit-bearing bushes as well.

Notable Residents
