stinging broodbleeder

species I doodled while watching YouTube video essays. all I really have for them is that they’re in sharp class and swing their tail like a club to gut and bleed vikings. far from the most brutal dragon mentioned in the franchise even still :-(

Main mounts and pack animals of Encounters in the Frontier.

Left to right:

Yakor Camel: I already wrote most of it's lore here. Since horses don't exist in this setting, this fast camel is used. They are similar to dromedaries in behaviour and build, but more social and tame. They lack a hump, so they are not as resistant to dehydration and hunger as dromedaries are, but are still more so than horses. There exists many breeds of this species, here I drew two of them:

-Plateau yakor: This strong and sturdy breed is native to the northwestern plateau and a very important part of the identity of its inhabitants. The peoples of the plateau use this breed as a means of transportation, war mount, pack animal and as draft animals. They use their characteristic mane to create felt fabrics, perfect for insulation in the winter. This breed grows and sheds its mane seasonally. During the conquest of the plateau by the Sun Empire, this animal is also used in other regions.

-Yakor pony: This breed is mostly used by the steppe nomads of the setting, alongside other larger builds. This animals are not meant to carry a lot of weight, so they are used by mounted archers, skirmishers and for hunting. Their low center of gravity and sturdy legs makes them very maneuverable and fast. This is also the breed used for dragon hunting. This breed has not been as succesful in other regions of the continent where heavier camelry is prefered.

-Syzer: This animal is closely related to the yakor camel and inhabits in the savannah like environment of the southeast. They live in small packs and are sometimes hunted by humans (wich is a hard task since they are known for being quite agressive). They have been many attempts to domesticate this mighty creature, all without success (similar to irl zebras). Still, its posible to breed it with a yakor camel to obtain a Camule.

-Donpir: Closely related to the undomesticated forest tapir, this animal evolved to live plains and convergently evolved with irl horses in many ways, such as only using their central hoof for support. They retain their juvenile stripes in adulthood, but not as camuflage but as a way to blend with each other in large groups, such as zebras do. These animals are not often used as mounts, but as pack animals, since they are strong, obedient and efective on uneven terrain.

-Bakyor: This chalicothere is the largest domesticated animal in the setting (the macouse is not domesticated but tamed). They are used by merchants in land trade routes. They don't have as much stamina as a irl camel but are much stronger and very good at traversing very uneven terrain, as with their unusual hooves they can even climb.

-Camule: The hybrid between a yakor camel (usually a large breed) and a wild syzer. These animals show hybrid vigor, and are larger and stronger than both of its parents. They merge the ideal characteristics of both species and are large and strong like a syzer and hardworking and tame like a yakor. They are unfertile and the contions needed for a wild syzer male to breed with a yakor mare are hard to replicate. They are mainly produced in the southernmost región of the Sun Empire and are often gifted between rulers in diplomatic trips. They are a luxury animal sometimes called the golden camel as a reference to their coloration and value.

Double whammy >:3

The masked beasts

The masked beasts were science experiments made out of curiosity by scientists(most likely furries trying to make protogens even tho when I made the og concept i didn't know they exist lol) but it went wrong

This incident caused them to go feral killing some and running off adjusting to the wild living in groups of up to 10 tho its common to see lone wolves

They changed expressions especially when agro on a target

The crystal croakers

This guys are goofy bois tall mutants reaching up to 6 or 7 feet tall coming in many different colours with a bunch of crystal spikes as defence mechanism

They have fwog forms to appear friendlier even tho they don't tend to be aggressive they will fight if need be and speak in croaks and ribbits its unknown if toad varients exist

Their limbs can regenerate over time and so can their crystals which can be used for different reasons like healing or lighting like torches :3

here's something stupid: the catcatfish

some quick facts:

they're nocturnal and tend to roam around while awake.

they have keen senses of smell and hearing, but terrible eyesight. despite this, they also have a tapetum lucidum, making their pupils "glow" in the dark.

their fur is short, dense, and oily to waterproof them.

they prefer a diet of mostly meat and are attracted to strong-smelling food like fish, cheese, and anything fermented.

the elongated dewclaw on each front paw is sharp, flexible, and nonretractable. it injects a venom that causes respiratory failure and cardiac arrest in prey and, in extreme doses, humans. veterenarians typically remove the dewclaw venom glands during the neuter/spay procedure.

they grow to an average of 1m and 23kg (3ft and 50lb) but can reach up to double that length and triple the weight!

You squint your eyes in the direction of the forest edge, between the shadows and the mist you see pale, humanoid shapes. It's not ghosts, not this time, but a herd of brynaglo. This nocturnal herbivore has an inquisitive but careful nature, listening with its large ears to anything that catches its interest before slowly and quietly approaching. It's not unusual for brynaglo to approach campsites in or close to the forest, often with terrifying effect on non locals.

SWAN 🦢 ✈️  (Strategic Wyvern Aerial Navigator)

"The “SWANS” are biomechanical lifeforms that after years of mimicry adapted to resemble combat jets. Their wolfram-like skin not only is resistant to the toxic and parasitic dangers of the ‘false ocean’ but is nigh impossible to penetrate. While not a real bird they present many similar features and behavior. It's not all too rare to spot them flying in flocks and engaging in courtship

Swans are known to jam signals and strike airborne carriers since they’re an extremely territorial and violent species. First it will race against the enemy (it should be noted their structure allows them to reach enough speed to break the sound barrier) as a sign that they dominate the air space before they plunge the foe into the ground. Competitiveness amongst the species in a similar fashion has been observed to uncertain ends. In spite of all the gathered studies their intelligence and physical feats are still under research but paired with their enormous size and aggressivity is more than a difficult task. 

They are rapacious hunters from the skies and encounters are advised against. There’s no current methods to defend against the Swans and in consequence it has obstructed facilities, aviation and transportation."

Hey guys it's seasons greasons

(Featuring the Prectikar, Obin, and WaraWara, an Arasit.)

Obin is a big fan (pun intended) of the cold but not of other people screaming and jumping on his back. WaraWara is a thrill seeker and would never pass up the chance to go out in freezing temperatures dressed in only a tanktop and jump on a guy 12x her size.

Cherry! lumistera character I made for myself!

LOOK AT ME!!!!

Lucani are an open species by me :3 Tje TH link will redirect you to species info / a discord!

[iambittythings]

Today's beast was so dear to me, they're one of the few I actually named. Meet Pancake the Mantapup, who found a home at Canfurence. The jolliest little soul in the sea.

If you'd like a beast, marine or otherwise, please check out Bittythings and Beasts.

BOOP!! (punctures your skin with a venomous spine)

[cireks]

As if "swallowed by the earth" is a way to describe someone who's gone missing without a trace, particularly in the woods, but in Ditovo it may be more than just a saying. At least if you believe the many legends and folktales about giant plumsaina, or as they're more commonly known "earth belly". The plant does exist but usually it is only big enough to catch small vertebrates, which it does when prey step onto its camouflaged trap door and fall into the pit of the plant filled with digestive liquid and downward pointing spikes preventing escape. The roots of the plant are for storing nutrients and other substances, as well as firmly anchoring the plant in the ground when prey is thrashing about inside it. In order to reproduce the earth belly sprouts a red flower above the surface, a red flag that may perhaps save the life of one who recognizes it.
