The spotted lesser owlcat is a small predator of the owlcat family - flat-faced theropods with small wings, a curved toe claw, and a facial disk. Lesser owlcats of various species are found all over Uanlikri.
Like other owlcats, it hunts by ambush, targeting primarily birds and other flighted small prey. It prefers mixed habitats of wetland and woodland: its distinctive mix of spots and stripes confer it good camouflage under the canopy and among riverside bushes and sparse reeds.
Antiole activity cutting down forests to build artificial wetlands for the cultivation of swamp rice has led to the spotted lesser owlcat's range diminishing in favour of its close cousin, the banded lesser owlcat.

The banded lesser owlcat is a member of the owlcat family, a group of noctural ambush predators with short wings, a curved toe claw, and a facial disk.
The banded lesser owlcat is native to the Great Plains region and prefers habitats of tall grasses and reeds. Because of this, it has slowly been displacing its close cousing, the spotted lesser owlcat, by colonizing fields and artificial wetlands created by antiole activity.

A collection of theropods.
Lesser spotted owlcat, a small, semiarboreal nocturnal predator. Like other owlcats, they hunt by ambush, targeting primarily birds and other flighted small prey.
Bell runner, a goose-sized dromaeosaur which favors small prey and insects. Although they do not hunt in packs, they are social and groups of bell runners can often be seen hunting together in grazed fields.
Bedejou, a large allosaurid native to the open, dry woodland straddling the Zaroub and the Great Lakes basin. The white rings around their eyes grant them a stare that legends describe as petrifying.
Antiole, a species of sapient theropods, the only sapient species of this setting. Antioles are true omnivores and highly social, forming complex societies with a wide variety of languages, social norms, and cultural practices.
