Flora:

There can be assumed to be many ordinary items that one would also find on a "native" planet such as our Earth: common types of trees (such as oak, birch, dogwood, pine, willow), flowers (daisies, lilies, roses, wildflowers), herbs (rosemary, sage, thyme!), and other such commonalities that could be found in the wild such as types of normal mushrooms, potatoes and other green perhaps edible plants. If you want to use something that's more specific to Paragon, however, we have many choices to select from:
Common ~ Uncommon ~ Rare

Common
Paragonian Name: Chikkiberries
What Area(s) located In: All around Paragon
Description: A small berry that grows in bushes of any size and can accommodate itself to almost any climate to grow and it can also grow near cave mouths, although it is not that frequent. The berry is a regular red before it ripens which leads to confused many with it's true species, but after it matures it turns to a dark, almost black purple which takes several weeks. it is only after it has ripened as well that it's medical attributes take effect.
Medicinal Qualities: If gathered in large numbers and eaten, and only after it has ripened, it has the ability to speed up cell production and renewal which in response leads to speeding the healing processes of the body and it can be used to sooth feverish illnesses, but does not have as much effect. After a couple of hours after it has been eaten the aftereffects begun to show like a tingly feeling which oddly causes a lot of giggling. It can also be mashed until liquefied and if added to a leaf and placed upon a wound it can also speed up the healing of the specific wound without having to eat the berry.

Since it grows among the rocks, it has very tiny roots. Instead of collecting water from the ground, it collects rainwater in the "bowl", which it holds until it needs it. On cold, windy days, the water freezes, which helps anchor it down so it won't fall over.
Medicinal Qualities: When the water is frozen, the large leaves can be peeled away from the ice for a cold bandage. If the flowers are eaten, it sends a wolf into a loopy, relaxed stage. However, the wolf can experience slight hallucinations, and may say things they wouldn't normally say.

Fauna:

Many of the more common types of woodland, mountainous, aquatic and grassland prey creatures that can also exist on our Earth can also be found on Paragon: rabbits, mice (and other small rodents), flighted birds of small to medium sizes, ordinary lizards and reptiles of small to medium size, normal deer, small mustelids (ferrets, weasels) and other commonly found critters. It is well to note that wolves are the only large predator species on Paragon (as well as the only canine species!). Large bears, large cats (with the exception of the Nanose'hame that are not "native" to Paragon), large reptiles/amphibians or any such larger animals that could be considered predators, DO NOT exist on the continent.

Important Note: These animals, unless noted, are NOT communicative verbally with the wolves of Paragon. They do not speak in words that the wolves can hear, similar to how we humans cannot talk in "squirrel" or "rabbit". If a wolf is allowed to shape shift into one of these creatures, then yes, they can communicate.

Paragonian Name: Wingchester

It resembles almost entirely mountain goats and has four horns that spiral out of their skulls and sharp hooves for firm grasps of the slippery rocks. It has a short tail as well and short coat around the summer and becomes thick around the winter and even though it looks like a heavy creature, it is truly very light enabling it easy leaps from a peak to the other and for climbing as well. It would take at least two grown wolves to catch either a male or female and they are very swift on their hooves which make them difficult catches for wolves that are not accustomed to their speedy leaping. They live in small families and scatter when felt threaten, but eventually join with the same members before a day has passed or, if one is found walking around by itself, it usually means they've become lost.
Normal Diet: They are herbivores so pretty much anything that's inorganic

From their hard skull's sprouts two ram-like horns that curve around their tiny ears and end in a sharp point just below their beady eyes. If that wasn't enough, they have two sharp horns that protrude out of their snout too, the one closer to their nose usually being larger. This set of horns along with sharp hooves can inflict great damage to a wolf; one mighty kick from a Antick could crack open a wolf's skull.
Although these mammal's make an excellent food source wolves must be wary when hunting it, for once a Antick starts charging, nothing can stop it.
