Creatures of the Land which will consist of big creepy and sometime cute and cuddly rippers. Watch out. Looks aren't always what they seem.

From earth shaking monsters and big fat slimy chaps to flying shards of evil menacing the skies. These are the creatures that will inhabit this ruthless world. Some creatures will have their own theme song or will play a crucial part of the characters well being within the story.

558 x 424+

Fluens are large slow moving creatures who live in the NorthWest. Their ability to survive in the cold enables these creatures to go very long periods without eating. They are the main source of food for the Drour's (Dragons). They also reproduce very quickly so the chain is never broken, therefore they are never hunted by the any other race in fears that the Drours will return the attacks against the humans and wolves.

558 x 424+

Liberatens are very agile lizard-like creatures who live in the South East Coastal line. They live on both land and water and scavage for small animals. One of their favorite meals are the fins. They are fun to watch because they rarely ever catch a fin on the first try. Their stubby legs are very quick, but unstable. In the water however; they are pure hunters.

"Pyrons"
558 x 424+

Pyrons are four legged creatures that often manuever on their two hind feet and only venture out at dusk and at night. Their large ears are their only means of hearing food and hunting them down is one of the most spectacular means of entertainment. They have the ability to blend in with their surroundings and they have an unusal ability to mimick the same sound as any creature it encounters in hopes of luring them into the pack waiting in the brushes a few yards away. They have been known attack humans and a respectable distance must be kept at all times.

"Whalen"
558 x 424+

This brut came about when I had a nightmare the other night and it was about a whale that lived in my pond back in my home town. This big guy jumped out flapping itself along the ground and up the hills. The next thing i knew it had 3 dogs within its mouth as it scurried down and out of the driveway below. It would jump a few times on its belly and then slide a few yards ahead and start the same process over. All while chomping down on its prey. Then, they would turn around and come after you or something else and repeat the same process. Afterwards, it would return back to the water where it would wait for another unsuspecting creature. Their behavior in the Far Far East is very similar to what I just described. Their knowledge is massive and have been known to forsee the future. "What haunts you ultimately helps you."

These are the most feared creatures of the Five Kingdoms and live in the SouthWest and a second clan in the NorthEast.

Little have every communicated with them and even fewer have survived an attack. Drours main source of food however; is a creature called, Fluens who roam around in the North West ice region.

These guys are Dicks. They are Mean, rude, and walk with an unsettling royal pompus arrogance as they strut their stuff in front of you.
