Elanthia is full of many strange beasts, ranging in size from the tiniest gnats to the enormous (and terrifying) roa'ters. This guide is written not for hunters, but for travellers, that they may more fully know the creatures they pass in the wonderous world in which we thrive.
I welcome contributions to this guide-- Elanthia's very large, and there are many places I don't dare tread! Please contact me with any creature you feel should be added to the guide or with any information you can provide that I haven't included. (Well, you might want to wait on that until I've gotten some more work done myself, but I do appreciate any help people feel like giving!) Be careful to include your Elanthian evidence-- without evidence of a creature's existence, I will be forced to accept it as a legend. More information on what precisely consitutes evidence may be found here.

Aardvark
Appearance: The aardvark has long, donkey-like ears on a thin, elongated
head. Its long snout ends in a small, tubular mouth from which a
remarkable eighteen-inch, sticky, purple tongue periodically shoots out
in pursuit of ants. Its small, clever eyes roam the area in a constant
search for unwary ants.
Evidence: A peaceful aardvark wanders freely through the town of River's
Rest.
Other notes: "The aardvark narrows its beady eyes. With an irritated
snort it glares at you. It flicks its tongue in your direction!
Disappointed to discover you are not a very large ant, the aardvark turns
away."
Albatross
Appearance:
Evidence: Albatrosses may be purchased as pets from the Grass
Menagerie in Zephyr Hall.
Other notes: By legend, the spirits of lost sailors sometimes take
on albatross form in order to continue their journeys over the ocean.
As a result, killing an albatross will invoke the wrath of Niima... and
where the Wavedancer's wrath turns, the Destroyer's wrath follows.
Ant (common)
Appearance:
Evidence: The aardvark of River's Rest is always on the hunt for succulent
ants, and often finds them.
Other notes:
Ant (fire)
Appearance:
Evidence: From time to time, the aardvark of River's Rest accidentally
snorfles up a fire ant and then sneezes to expel the unwanted insect.
Other notes:
Bear
Appearance:
Evidence: Bear cubs may be purchased as pets from the Grass Menagerie
in Zephyr Hall.
Other notes:
Bear (Agresh)
Appearance: The Agresh bear is all muscle and bone and presents
a formidable appearance when standing on her hindlegs. She is a tawny
gold in color allowing her to blend more easily into her surroundings or
at least as much as a 600 pound bear can. The deadly claws that tip
each front paw completes the total package of death known as the Agresh
bear.
Evidence: Agresh bears roam through an apple orchard near Ta'Vaalor.
Other notes:
Beaver
Appearance:
Evidence: Beavers may be purchased as pets from the Grass Menagerie
in Zephyr Hall.
Other notes: "Beavers have constructed a dam in a shallow spur
of the river below. The dam, in turn, has created a large pool behind
it to facilitate the growth of pond weeds, a favorite beaver food.
A pair of beavers move about in the pool and on the shore, carrying sticks
in their mouths to add to the dam, diving into the pool to feed, or dipping
down to perhaps inspect the sturdiness of their efforts or enter their
lair for a rest." (from a spot along the Locksmehr River Trail)
Bee
Appearance: A striped yellow-and-black insect with wings and a stinger
that makes a humming or buzzing sound as it flies.
Evidence: Bees may be seen at work in Hearthstone's rose garden.
Other notes: Bees harvest nectar to make food for the hive, and
transform that nectar into honey. Their hives are also the source
of beeswax, good for making candles.
Beetle (giant water)
Appearance:
Evidence: A giant water beetle lives in one of the tanks in the River's
Rest Zoo.
Other notes:
Beetle (jadeback)
Appearance:

Burro
Appearance:
Evidence: Burros can be seen pulling carts of ore up from the south
in the city of Kharam-Dzu shortly after getting off the Glaesen Star.
Other notes:
Butterfly
Appearance: Butterflies come in many different appearances, and many
different sizes, from large to small. If you stand in the Hearthstone
herbalist's long enough, you may (as I did) observe spotted, purple, blue,
and a number of other colors of butterflies. Those fortunate enough
to participate in the Butterfly Festival of 5101 observed a truly astonishing
variety-- all colors of the rainbow, plus black, white, and gold-- in Wehnimer's
Landing, River's Rest, and Ta'Illistim. (Possibly Solhaven as well,
though I am uncertain.)
Evidence: Butterflies may be readily observed in many parts of Elanthia,
and the Butterfly Festival each spring celebrates their number and variety.
Other notes: During the Butterfly Festival of 5101, a number of people
captured living butterflies. If not locked within closed containers
(a mistake I greatly regretted), these butterflies survived after the festival,
and some carry them with them today... but the butterflies have become
oddly listless, and will no longer fly, preferring simply to perch or rest
wherever they are placed.
Buzzard
Appearance:
Evidence: An agitated buzzard may be seen on the overland trail leading
between Wehnimer's Landing and Ta'Illistim.
Other notes:
Carp
Appearance:

cats. When small, they are called kittens.

Other notes:
Crab (pale)
Appearance: "The giant pale crab is about a foot across and has large
pincers at the end of each of its two arms. Its multiple legs make
a skittering noise as it walks. The pale color seems to be the result
of living in dark, wet caves for its entire life."
Evidence: Pale crabs inhabit the sea tunnels in River's Rest and attack
people.
Other notes:
Crab (tiny green)
Appearance:
Evidence: In Solhaven, on the way to the North 'Haven Quay, there is
a set of steps; if you go up the steps, you will see several dozen or so
tiny green crabs.
Other notes:
Crayfish
Appearance:
Evidence: A huge crayfish may be seen in the River's Rest Zoo.
Other notes:

Appearance: "A large scaled lizard, with a wide gaping mouth full of
sharp teeth, it has short powerful legs barely long enough to lift the

that looks rather dangerous."

Appearance:
Evidence: Eagles may be purchased as pets from the Grass Menagerie
in Zephyr Hall.
Other notes:
Eagle (blood)
Appearance: "With a body length of nearly 3 feet, and a wingspan of
8 feet, the blood eagle is without a doubt the largest eagle you've ever
seen. The body is covered with blood red feathers and its powerful
wings raise dust whenever the eagle nears ground. Large black eyes
gleam with intelligence, and claws sharp enough to rip apart a bear give
this creature a distinctively threatening appearance."
Evidence: These creatures roam outside the Citadel of River's Rest,
and joy in picking up adventurers and dropping them in a ravine-- preferably
on their heads.
Other notes:
Falcon
Appearance:
Evidence: Falcons may be purchased as pets from the Grass Menagerie
in Zephyr Hall.

in Zephyr Hall.
Other notes:
Heron
Appearance:
Evidence: From a perspective outside the Captain's Quarters in River's
Rest, you may see a heron stalking frogs and fish.
Hummingbird
Appearance: "A sudden burst of color appears amongst the iris and upon
closer inspection, it appears to be a tiny bird, wings furiously in motion
and nearly impossible to see. It pauses in its flight to sip nectar
from an obliging iris and is gone in a flash, leaving behind only a memory
of a moment to treasure."
Evidence: Having seen hummingbird earrings, I compared them with this
creature that I spotted in the Heartstone rose garden and presumed that
the two were the same. Hummingbirds may also be seen in part of the
Port Valley neighborhood in River's Rest.
Other notes:
Jaguar
Appearance:
Evidence: Jaguar cubs may be purchased as pets from the Grass
Menagerie in Zephyr Hall.
Other notes:
Kestrel
Appearance:
Evidence: Kestrels may be purchased as pets from the Grass Menagerie
in Zephyr Hall.
Other notes:
Kiramon
Appearance: The kiramon has a mobile head with huge, bulging, eyes
that sparkle in a faceted clustering around the lidless perimiter.
Protruding from the massive head is a vicious-looking snout with insectile
mandibles, while the back of the cranium is a distended, two-lobed case.
Remarkably powerful rear legs jut backward from an extremly hard, resilient,
exoskeleton-like body, that seems to be in constant motion. Though
the middle legs have evolved away long ago, the front legs end in strong
opposing claws and knobby-jointed fingers. Stunted wings flap uselessly
from its long cylindrical body.
Evidence: Kiramon roam Teras Isle and an area in Ta'Illistim.
Other notes:
Koi
Appearance: "Several dozen large koi swim aimlessly about in one of
the tanks, occasionally stopping to search the sandy bottom for anything
edible. Their white bodies with patchworks of gold, red, black, orange
and yellow must have made some of them extremely valuable to their owners."
Evidence: These koi may be seen in a tank in the River's Rest Zoo.
Other notes:
Lamprey
Appearance:
Evidence: A number of stinging lampreys may be seen clinging parasitically
to a school of carp in a pool in the River's Rest zoo.
Leopard
Appearance:
Evidence: Leopard cubs may be purchased as pets from the Grass
Menagerie in Zephyr Hall.
Other notes:
Leopard (black)
Appearance: At first glance, the black leopard has pure black fur but
upon the shifting of light, faint auburn rosette patterns fade in and out
of sight against the sleek darkness. The only visible part of the
leopard when she's stealthily hidden in the wilds is her deeply-toned amber
eyes, which are always gazing warily at her surroundings. With the
ability to retract her claws into her large padded paws, the black leopard
is able to conceal her movement and stalk silently behind her prey with
great success.
Evidence: Black leopards roam through an apple orchard near Ta'Vaalor,
attacking those who near.
Other notes:
Lion
Appearance:
Evidence: Lion cubs may be purchased as pets from the Grass Menagerie
in Zephyr Hall.
Other notes:
Lion (plains)
Appearance: The plains lion is a muscular and athletic animal.
Covered with a uniform coat of soft, golden-brown fur, his long, lithe
body is equipped with powerful legs, displaying a proportionately greater
difference in the length of the forelegs compared to the extenuated hind
limbs. The feline's head is topped with white tufted ears, and a
very long, balancing tail completes the lion's physique.
Evidence: Plains lions roam the foothills near Ta'Vaalor.
Other notes:
Lizard (Gnomish)
Appearance: Appearances vary wildly; the only thing certain is that
every lizard is unique and that they all weigh roughly five pounds.
Evidence: A number of people who voyaged upon the Dhu Gillywhack came
home with these odd lizards, collected by the gnome named Frazerarg.
Other notes: Gnomish lizards may be observed perching on people's shoulders.
They are very active creatures, prone to climbing on people's heads, biting
their ears, scampering from one shoulder to the other, and so forth.
Lizard (tree)
Appearance:
Evidence: Tree lizards may be purchased as pets from the Grass
Menagerie in Zephyr Hall.
Other notes:

help climb things and hold things. The monkey looks very smart and
seems to be full of mischief."
Evidence: Monkeys may be found in the River's Rest Zoo, where they
attack and pester passersby.
Other notes: Monkeys are extremely intelligent-- while not up to the
speaking level, they are full of mischief, and their antics are highly
entertaining (or annoying, depending upon the antic in question.)
Monkey meatballs are sold as food in the Stone Eye in River's Rest.
Monkey (spider)
Appearance:
Evidence: Spider monkeys may be purchased as pets from the Grass
Menagerie in Zephyr Hall.

Rabbit
Appearance: "The rabbit has velvet-soft, dappled grey fur and
an absurdly pink nose. Its ears, long and floppy, bounce comically
as it hops and waddles about." Rabbits come in many colors, such
as white, black, tan, brown, grey, and combinations of two or more hues.
Evidence: Rabbits may be purchased as pets from the Grass Menagerie
in Zephyr Hall. A floppy-eared rabbit also meanders around the town
of River's Rest.

Raccoon
Appearance:
Evidence: Raccoons may be purchased as pets from the Grass Menagerie
in Zephyr Hall.
Other notes:
Rat (giant)
Appearance: Larger than a domestic cat, the giant rat stands over a
foot high. Dark brown in color, shading off to white on the belly,
with naked pink ears and narrow glinting eyes, the rat glares with unrestrained
bloodlust. Known to exist in great packs, the rat has brought more
than one over-eager adventurer to an early grave.
Evidence: Rats roam the catacombs under Wehnimer's Landing, as well
as many other unwholesome places.
Other notes:
Raven
Appearance:
Evidence: Ravens may be purchased as pets from the Grass Menagerie
in Zephyr Hall.
Other notes:
Rolton
Appearance: "This is obviously a prime example of the beast of legend,
the fiend of song and tale. Known near and far as an implacable enemy
of early settlers, it was this ferocious sheeplike creature that earned
the epithet of Warrior-Killer in its sordid past. The rolton is covered
with a dirty, matted, disgusting-looking grey pelt that might once have
been white and is still abysmally smelly. However, it isn't this
trait alone that gives her such a terrifying appearance. As the animal
bleats at you, it is then you get a view of the 'maw of death', with its
long, curved incisors that gnash and gnaw. The critter has some nasty-looking
hooves as well."
Evidence: Roltons wander grassland areas in River's Rest and Wehnimer's.
Other notes: Rolton wool (from the tame variety) is often used to make
warm, comfortable clothing. Rolton meat is also considered quite
delicious by many. Before the Ice Age passed, rolton were called
tarkaan.
Rook
Appearance:
Evidence: Rooks may be purchased as pets from the Grass Menagerie
in Zephyr Hall.
Other notes:
Scorpion (giant albino)
Appearance: The scorpion is like any other scorpion in general body
structure. This particular variety, however, is about seven feet
in length, with potent venom brewing in its cauda. The huge insectoid
creature is entirely white, except for its pincers and stinger, which are
a light pink. The eyes of the albino scorpion are crimson -- not
to mention entirely blind.
Evidence: Giant albino scorpions infest Mraent Cavern in Zul Logoth.
Other notes:
Seathrak
Appearance: "A dark shape becomes visible through the starboard panel
as it slowly moves ahead of the ship. Soon, the long snout and red
eyes of a seathrak are recognizable, then the clawed limbs, and finally
the long, powerful tail as the creature paces the ship."
Evidence: You can see seathraks through the glaes bottom of the Glaesen
Star.
Other notes:
Silkworm
Appearance:
Evidence: Silk is a fairly common fabric in Wehnimer's Landing, and
silk clothing may be purchased at Dara's Salon.
Other notes:
Snail (overgrown)
Appearance: The overgrown snail crawls around slowly on its single
lubricated foot, leaving a slime trail behind wherever it goes. Its
grey body has a greenish undertone, and its skin is rough and raspy.
Perched atop its back, the home of the overgrown snail is a thick, rounded
shell nearly three feet in diameter. The shell spirals into a central
point. The overgrown snail peers out from a pair of grey, lidless
eyes set upon twin stalks. Some individual with too much time on
his or her hands has painted a green, red and black tartan design on the
snail's entire shell.
Evidence: This odd creature crawls through the town of Zul Logoth.
Other notes:
Snail (sea)
Appearance:
Evidence: I saw one inching across the bottom of the Glaesen Star (through
the glaes bottom) before it was abruptly eaten by a large-mouthed fish.
Other notes:
Snakeheads
Appearance: "Swimming below the panes of glaes, a school of snakeheads
beat their broad fins against the flow of the river, hovering while waiting
for the current to bring their prey to them."
Evidence: These (fish?) can be seen through the glaes bottom of the
Glaesen Star.
Other notes:
Squirrel
Appearance:
Evidence: Squirrels may be purchased as pets from the Grass Menagerie
in Zephyr Hall. There are also a number of diseased squirrels captured

Menagerie in Zephyr Hall. A box turtle may also be seen sunning itself
along the Locksmehr River trail between Wehnimer's Landing and Ta'Illistim.
Other notes:
Velnalin
Appearance:
Evidence: Velnalin wander the grasslands south of Wehnimer's Landing.
Other notes: Their meat is good eating; one may obtain a plate
of velnalin steak in the Wehnimer's party tent; velnalin hide also tans
very well, and a cracked saddle of velnalin leather may be seen in the
stables of River's Rest's Citadel. Before the Ice Age passed, velnalin
were called karnelin.
Weasel
Appearance:
Evidence: Weasels may be purchased as pets from the Grass Menagerie
in Zephyr Hall.
Other notes:
Whale (sperm)
Appearance:
Evidence: Ambergris, which may be found on various creatures in River's

is "(a) waxy grayish substance formed in the intestines of sperm whales
and found floating at sea or washed ashore" (from dictionary.com).
Presumably, there are sperm whales about as well, somewhere.
Other notes:
Wolf
Appearance:
Evidence: Wolf pups may be purchased as pets from the Grass Menagerie
in Zephyr Hall.
Other notes:
Wolverine
Appearance: Possessed with a ferocious nature far out of proportion
to its size, this wolverine appears to be an extremely vicious opponent.
Swift and agile, with claws and teeth backed by muscles like coiled springs,
the wolverine will take on and defeat foes three times its size.
Even stout boiled leather is oft times no match for its powerful claws
and ferocious bite. You see a touch of foam about its mouth, which
may indicate some type of virulent disease.
Evidence: Wolverines wander the grassland area south of the gates of
Wehnimer's Landing.
Other notes:
Woodpecker
Appearance:
Evidence: At one point along the Locksmehr River Trail, the sounds
of a number of woodpeckers drilling for insects in elms can be heard.
Other notes: The woodpecker may be recognized by its characteristic
"ratta-tatta-tatta-tat!" sound as it drills for insects in the trunks of
trees.
