Name: Ursuros
Designed By: Lycanraptor & Armundy; Biology by Samiakki
Size: Very large (Twice the size of an adult polar bear)
Element: Water
Habitat Description: Ursuros thrive in tundra biomes, especially frozen deserts. They can occasionally be found to stretch into taiga biomes if food is scarce.
Animal Description: Blue ursine creatures with an interesting biology; they naturally harbor enchantments on their backs that allow them to grow frozen stalagmites from their fur. This keeps temselves safe from would-be predators and the odd hunter who strays too close.
Males have larger stalagmites on their backs than females, although it is suspected pregnancy might cause a female's stalagmites to increase in size, in some cases. It is unknown if this is due to hormones or a need to better defend oneself. It is not known if this growth is even one consciously.
Ursuros are normally found preying on yaks and other large herbivorous ungulates that roam their territory, which can span several miles. Unfortunately, since Ursuros have appeared in other dimensions, due to overpredation from other beasts, their slim amount of food sources have left them to attack humans in desperation.
Name: Furokoru
Designed By: Lycanraptor & Armundy; Biology by Samiakki
Size: Very large (Size of a pteradactyl)
Element: Wind
Habitat Description: Usually found on mountains and the forests at the foot of them. Often lingering around Crooked Nose Mountain, so it is a familiar sight to trolls.
Animal Description: This horrid raptor is born from Dreamer crystals when they are charged with lightning. Gifted in the Wind Arts, these enormous birds of prey are known to be kept as familiars by some trolls who practice Elemental Arts. However, they are rarely used for malice and the birds are (usually) not hostile.
They are gonochoric; females are larger than males. Females seemed to 'incubate' newly charged crystals as a male forms a pair bond with her and feeds her.
They are not known to stray too far from the Troll Kingdom, almost being seen as emblems of it. To kill one is a great crime in troll culture.
Name: Horu-Ru-Ku
Designed By: Lycanraptor & Armundy; Biology by Samiakki
Size: Large (Size of a California condor)
Element: Wind
Habitat Description: Arid deserts and sandy dunes, where it will circle across an entire dream to find corpses to scavenge.
Animal Description: Its name literally means 'carrion bird' in the Low Trollish. Despite 'only' being a scavenger, these birds are highly adept in the Wind Arts that govern fire. Wind breathes life into fire and that is what they command with each wing flap.
Despite being the cleaning crew of the metaphysical lifeforms (death-forms?) in the Dream Realm - whose bodies don't fade after death - their heads aren't bald. Their feathers are frilled to protect against flying sand and the smoke of their flames, the latter of which is mostly a speculation.
Horu-Ru-Ku are highly territorial and have the capability of commanding small flocks of other carrion birds to bend to their will. They should never be challenged alone, because they will not be alone themselves.
Name: Gojanala
Designed By: Lycanraptor & Armundy; Biology by Samiakki
Size: Medium (Size of a goat)
Element: Earth
Habitat Description: These arthropods burrow deep underground and would have the ability to penetrate terrestrial troll dwellings if not for one thing; they have no lies to give up for troll defense systems.
Animal Description: Very good at rolling up into balls and even better at digging through the dirt, these seemingly short monsters shouldn't be ridiculed because of their size. It's their numbers and mastery of the Earth Arts that have the ability to easily overwhelm.
They may reproduce through traditional spawning and crystalline spawning. Like seahorses on Earth, females lay their eggs inside of special sacs the males grow, who then carry them until they hatch.
Trolls don't favor these beasts and consider them pests, but some in Blanca and in desert regions have attempted to rear them as their meat is prized elsewhere. Alas, the trolls, who do not consume physical food, cannot partake.
