Sea Stalker

Developed by Rey'na

This creature is rare in Scalvoris, and unknown in the rest of Idalos due to its unique environmental needs

Details: The Sea-Stalker, as it's known by the locals, is a territorial creature that is often found patrolling the depths of Scalvoris' ocean. Occasionally, they find themselves in the more shallow waters, where they can attack and even ruin unprepared boats. Even boats fully armed dread being caught unaware by one of these creatures, with fear of losing their entire boat and their lives.

Lifespan and Development: Sea-Stalkers grow from small eggs that latch onto the side of rocks under the water, left to grow by their parents who never see them again. When hatched, they are around the size of a medium-sized dog. They grow gradually until they reach three Arcs old, when they reach their full size - comparable to an elephant.

Diet: Predatory creatures, the Sea Stalkers lurk in caves or caverns under the water, then pounce creatures of any size. Their pincers can tear through flesh with ease, but suffer when faced with shells or chitin. People are easy prey, as their pure power is enough to break the wood of a ship. Their mouth is like that of a conveyor belt, food being sucked in and shredded in the throat before used for energy.

Temperament: The creatures, being raised without parents, are incredibly territorial. However, if a creature were to be raised by a parent figure they would develop as close a bond with them as they would with the place had they not met their parent replacement. This means that any fortunate enough to find an unborn Sea-Stalker will be able to train it and, with the right training, ride it.

Abilities: The Sea-Stalker, apart from it's pure brutality and size, has one ability. Tendrils on the back of it's neck allow for it to inhale oxygen. This ability is useful for two reasons. Firstly, it can breathe with it's head out of the water, meaning the potential of being used as a mount is there. Alternatively, it can store two breaks worth of oxygen. If a rider under the water places their mouth on a tendril then the Sea-Stalker can provide them with two breaks of oxygen, allowing them to travel under the water - so long as the pressure doesn't kill them.

Weaknesses: Despite the chitin back, the Sea-Stalker has a soft and delicate underbelly - where almost all of it's vital organs are. This means that a single hit to the underbelly can result in the death of a Sea-Stalker, and is almost impossible to recover from without the help of a master veterinarian.

Shimfin (Ganditlip)

Developed by Fridgar

This creature is uncommon in Scalvoris and is found only in very cold, icy waters

Price: Untrained: Tier 6. Trained: Tier 7 - the training is basic and you will need to develop a relationship with the creature yourself.

Habitat: The Ganditlip makes its home in the icy waters of Ishallr, though have been known to stray into warmer waters when bored.

Lifespan and Development: Ganditlips usually lay between twelve and sixteen eggs per mating season, only half of the eggs will ever hatch however, and even fewer still make it to adulthood. They mature into adults at the age of one arc old and live for a further nineteen arcs on average. They will not leave the water for at least another two seasons after maturing, and even then, they can only traverse on wet sand and ice by dragging their bodies with their clawed front flippers, similar to sea lions.

Diet: Small fish and plant life found on ocean and reef floors.

Temperament: Friendly and playful, the Ganditlip (or Shimfin as known by the locals) will often spend its trials playing in the shallow waters with its brothers and sisters. When they're bored, they go exploring searching for things to do and will sometimes stray into more inhabitable waters near civilisation. While seemingly innocent and adorable, these creatures are loathed by sailors for their mischievous natures. They cut holes in fishing nets with their sword-like appendages, poke holes in the bottoms of ships and even capsize smaller vessels when in groups - all in good fun. Should the Ganditlip ever see the need to fight, as unlikely as it is, their sword-like noses are very strong and sharp being mostly made of bone and will use these to fight off larger predators, usually in groups. If someone were to tame a Ganditlip, it would need to be done with love, care and plenty of games - while it may seem a hassle to spend long hours of the day submerged, chasing a seemingly untiring aquatic reptile, the reward for having befriended a Ganditlip is a friend to the end and a very caring guardian.

Abilities: Very fast swimmers with a sword for a nose. A Ganditlip's call draws the attention of all surrounding Ganditlips within a 500-meter radius while submerged and a 100 meter radius while on land. Ganditlips stick together and will never ignore a call for help from one of their own.

Weaknesses: The Ganditlip's greatest weapon is also it's weakest point. Striking the Ganditlip's Sword will incur an immediate concussion if not killing it instantly. This is due to the nerves in the bone lining up directly to the Ganditlip's brain. Of course, striking to point of the sword will have no effect on the creature, but striking the flat of the blade from the side will be more than enough to stop a Ganditlip in its tracks.

Couriers of Lissira

Developed by Rey'na

Please note: these creatures a rare on Scalvoris and do not exist outside of the island. Please PM a mod for info before using in RP

Details: Once decaying corpses, Lissira disturbed their peace and stopped their decaying process through fungus and disease. These creatures came to life and were then placed on Scalvoris, sent to spread disease to any who encounter them. They spread the Burning Stomach disease, scientifically known as Ignis Ventri. Anybody that dies of the disease is destined to suffer the same fate as the flesh-hungry Couriers.

Lifespan and Development: Due to being raised dead, their lifespan and development is at a stand still. If they died a child, they stay a child. Whatever they looked like when they died will remain, the only difference being the fungus growing around them. One notable feature, however, is a hand mark gripped around their throat. This is believed to be part of a curse that these creatures spread, Lissira's way of marking her creations - but nobody knows for sure.

Diet: Flesh, humanoid in particular. However, due to being undead, they don't need food to survive. They eat for the pure bloodlust, and as a way to spread their disease.

Temperament: Aggressive. The smell of a creature nearby will cause them to attack, be it a small animal or a humanoid or even something that out-powers them entirely. This is a rare occurrence, however, because of the rotting smell that surrounds them - making most creatures avoid being anywhere near them.

Abilities: Apart from spreading the disease, none.

Weaknesses: The illness that turned these creatures destroyed their stomach, meaning that under the layers of infection is a hole. If stabbed, the creature will return to being a normal corpse - with the exception of the fungus still being inside it.

Chrythiam Fish

Developed by Pegasus
These creatures are common at the bottom of the freezing ocean. To collect them requires skills and mod input. They are available to buy dead and ready for cooking, (Tier 6) but are very rare dead in any other form (Tier 8).

Habitat: Bottom of the ocean

Lifespan and Development: These strange creatures lives for 3 arcs. Their lifespan is split into three sections, lasting approximately an arc each. The first arc sees them exploring the ocean and sea floor, moving around the island and seeking a place to make their home. During this arc they are small yellow bullet-shaped creatures (see image above). It is not clear how they make that decision, thusfar it seems completely random. The second arc is one where they reproduce. They do not mate, they are able to reproduce alone, both laying and then fertilising their own eggs however, in order to do so they 'open up', revealing that they are actually a tiny midsection with literally hundreds of fronds growing from this. In their third arc, they stop reproducing and slowly wither until their fronds are but distant memories and they are tiny solid husks which Scalvoris islanders often use in their jewellery as they glimmer and shine beautifully and reflect in every colour of the rainbow.

Diet: Algae and sea moss found on the ocean floor.

Temperament: Isolationist, but cute.

Abilities: No abilities but, in the right hands, these things are a delicacy. They can only be eaten if caught during the second arc of their life and must be cooked in a specific way in order to ensure that they are not tough and stringy. This involves careful preparation and full removal of their alimentary canal which runs through each of the tiny "fronds" which their body is made up of. Missing just one makes it taste bad.

Sharkin Shark

Developed by Pegasus
These creatures are rare and dangerous. PM a mod if you want to gather / catch one!

Habitat: Sea and Ocean. Deep waters only

Lifespan and Development: Although most fishermen wouldn't know it, the Sharkin Shark lives for approximately 75 arcs. They are babies for a very short space of time (about 30 trials) and then they are fully grown. From the time that they reach maturity, there is not really any difference in their development until, one trial, they simply die and their body transforms into a "Sharkin Shark Shell", literally a husk made almost entirely of a beautiful coral shell which is highly sought after because of its ability to change colour.

Diet: Fish

Temperament: Predators

Abilities: Rows of razor-sharp teeth, excellent eyesight and tracking, strength of body and speed of reflex, all of these things combine to make the Sharkin a most dangerous creature. However, that danger is also it's weakness as it is vicious and aggressive to the point that it seems unaware of risks. Ranging between twenty and thirty foot long, the Sharin Shark is a vicious predator throughout the oceans around the island and best avoided by all.

Screeching Hounds

Developed by Rey'na

These creatures are uncommon on Scalvoris, which is currently the only place they have been seen (adding to the notion of them being cursed).

Details: Screeching Hounds are fierce creatures, looking like a hybrid of many different canines. Their eyes are black and hollow, seemingly empty. This is due to the fact that the creatures are actually blind, believed to be cursed or even demonic beasts. Instead of sight, they use sonar to guide themselves through the harsh environments of wherever they roam.

Lifespan and Development: Screeching Hounds mate similarly to other wild canine, with the development not being far from the same. However, they grow noticeably quicker than their fellow canines. This has it's drawbacks, however, as the fast development leaves them with poor muscles and physical strength. As well as this, they live to only four arcs on average due to their weakened bodies.

Diet: Any kind of meat, usually small so they can preserve their strength. However, when encountered, a larger prey will be pursued if the hound is with a pack or a couple of others. Although weak on their own, in both physical strength and abilities, a pack has been known to take down beasts the size of elephants, or even outsmart and kill large predators.

Temperament: It's rare that a hound is without at least two others, but the occasional one is either caught hunting alone or outcast by it's pack and searching for another. When faced with any other creature, the hounds will analyse the situation and decide if it's too dangerous to fight and if they should flee. Normally, however, this analysis will result in fight, unless the danger is beyond all odds and the favour stacks massively against the hound. When in a pack, however, the odds of fleeing vanish completely, as pack pride and honor is shown through scars and wounds. Those who obtain the most damage as well as killing the most enemies of the pack are rewarded well, sometimes with females of the pack.

Abilities: Their sonar is used as a weapon, making up for the lack of strength they have. Their names are earned from a screech sound they make. Screaming so loud, the air reverberates in front of them visibly. Anyone within a mile radius can hear it, and those unfortunate enough to be close to the hound will develop an instant headache. From one hound, a headache is all, but a pack is where the danger lies. A group of just four hounds will bring a common man or creature to their knees, weakened enough that even the underdeveloped hounds can take them out with ease. A pack of hounds screaming breaks glass and other fragile objects nearby, as well as causing ears to bleed and sharp pains to appear in the head of those near.

Weaknesses: Their physical strength betrays them, as well as their inability to see. This means that someone not near to them make for difficult prey, and anyone using a ranged weapon able to kill them with relative ease before they do any kind of damage. They also rely heavily on packs, so a lone creature is an easy kill for any animal or person with any level of weapon, be it natural or forged.

Mergala Equestors

Developed By Incubus

The Mergala Equestors are mounts capable on both land and sea, and are fittingly called "Merquestrians" by most. They are prized for their mobility and dualistic capabilities as both land and sea mounts, and are famously known for their strangely jovial personalities. Often people call them "Man's Best Fish," as the Merquestrians are a fun-loving and loyal species of equus ferus. While the Mergala Equestor has the face of a Seahorse and the tail of a Lionfish, most people do consider them to be a part of the horse family, merely due to their internal biology that more closely resembles a horse than any known aquatic animal.

It should be noted that the Mergala are mammals, and do not actually possess scales on the majority of their body save for certain areas of their head and their intricate tail.

NOTE: The Merquestrians are very fast water mounts. Travel times on water with them are half that of a boat, though they must stop and rest and will likely do so on the coast. As such, their nautical travel MUST be alongside a coast, and so they cannot do travel between large bodies of water without consistent land stops in-between. This means they are essentially completely unable to travel between oceans.

Price: These creatures inhabit primarily Ne'haer and Scalvoris, though they are originally native to Ne'haer. They can be purchased for about Tier 7 in Ne'haer, and Tier 8 in Scalvoris (which only recently began importing them). Elsewhere, they are very rare, and due to this rarity tend to be around Tier 9 for a proper one.

Habitat: The Merquestrians can live on both land and beneath the sea, and tend to prefer coastal areas, tropics, grasslands or underwater areas. They are known to get along well with Mer and Biqaj, and so can be found living among large groups of the underwater peoples, or accompanying the human-like navigators on both land and out in the ocean. Generally however they prefer to live above ground as their physiology makes it different for them to fend off large predators such as sharks.

There are an estimated 6,000 wild Equestors living in the grassy plains and coastline surrounding Ne'haer, with several thousand domesticated by breeding farms and explorers. They are a popular mount for pirates, sailors and even the military, as they can get you from a ship to land in a very short period of time. As a result, there is a large following of them growing outside of Ne'haer and so their habitat is expanding consistently.

Lifespan and Development: The Merquestrians live to about 35 years old, slightly longer than regular horses. They reach full maturity at the age of three and remain at nearly peak condition until death.

Similarly to seahorses, the Merquestrians have their babies carried by the males of the species, eggs laying dormant in a pouch kept in the tail evident on the Merquestrian's backside. During this period they tend to be very passive and evasive of heavy duty or riding. This period is significantly shorter than the horse pregnancy duration of eleven months, generally lasting about four and a half months.

Diet: As a strange hybrid of seahorse, actual horse, and lionfish, the Merquestrians have a very diverse diet that can consist of seaweed, grass, general vegetation, plankton and other things that underwater and land-walking herbivores live off of.

Temperament: Like horses in general, the Merquestrians are docile and tend to avoid conflict. When in the wild, they act much as any wild horses and can be broken in similarly, as well as trained similarly. They are very sensitive and fearful of predators, and will often bolt if they feel their life is in danger. The Equestors are also often known to grow very angry and frustrated at things being shoved forcefully into their cylindrical snout, and are no strangers to kicking veterinarians during procedures.

Abilities: The Merquestrians are about as fast on land as other horses, and can swim exceptionally quickly. Their speed underwater rivals that of dolphins, giving them vast commercial usage as ferries and companions in water sports. They are slightly more durable than other horses, and slightly larger than your average horse as well. They possess no unique ability other than their biological dualism.

Enormowl

Developed by Pegasus
These creatures are restricted to the Elements. Trying to capture one is a crime!
In the wild these creates are very rare and very dangerous!
Thus far, they have only been seen in Scalvoris and seem to be unique to the area

Habitat: High mountains, wooded areas, dark caves.

Lifespan and Development: The enormowl live for approximately 60 arcs. They hatch during the warmth of Saun but they prefer the colder and thinner air of high mountains. Their numbers are quite small and the Elements (Scalvoris Military) send out expeditions to collect their eggs. They have also set up a breeding programme so that there will be many more of the Enormowl in the future. This breeding programme is set high up in the Scalvoris Mountains as this is where the eggs and newborns have to be in order to survive most easily.

Diet: The enormowl will eat almost anything, in truth. They enjoy meat and they need a certain amount of it in order to maintain their strength, but the varied plant life around Scalvoris is also food to them

Temperament: These enormous creatures can be tamed and trained, but only from birth. If left in the wild, they will prey on animals and devour crops, but only so much as they need to in order to live.

Abilities: With an enormous wingspan of 7 meters, the Enormowl is in proportion and so it's beak and talons are very useful weapons. It can fly for a full trial before needing to rest, but then it will need to both rest and feed and it has a voracious appetite at this point. These creatures can fly in the day or night, but prefer the dark of the night as their night vision is excellent. Training the Enormowl is a definite commitment, it must be noted, as they must be trained by the person who cares for them and this is, especially for the first four or five arcs, a job which takes a number of breaks per trial.Once trained, however, they are loyal and easy to handle.

Scal Sohr Khal

Developed by Incubus

These creatures are restricted to the Elements. Trying to capture one is a crime!
In the wild these creates are very rare and very dangerous!

Danger Level: Moderate-High

Details: The Sohr Khal are a type of avian drake prominently found in Scalvoris Mountains, brothers to the beasts of the same names found in Uthaldria. A powerful all-round predator, their talents lie in their speed and their ability to adapt to a situation. Out of all of the fauna who inhabit the Scalvoris Mountains, the Sohr Khal are probably the most internationally famous, called the "Saint of the Skies" by others around Idalos. This is due to their habit of watching their targets from a long distance away before striking, standing tall and praying solemnly with their human-like talons before they close in. In reality, this is how they estimate the exact duration of time it will require for them to descend upon their target, standing quietly and calculating before making their move. Nevertheless, they are a resolute predator, and their feathers and hide sell for a pretty penny in the Scalvoris markets.

Lifespan and Development: Living until around twenty five, the Sohr Khal are a fairly long lived avian species, and one with a fairly rapid development phase. While they do not appear to repopulate as quickly as many other species in Uthaldria, they grow to full adulthood within a year of life, and remain in their prime until their death. At full size, the Sohr Khal is quite large, with a twenty-five foot wingspan and a body large and strong enough to serve as a mount for two full sized Lothar without tiring.

Diet: They generally eat grasslands animals such as wolves, felines, hafrein, etc., as well as some other monsters if necessary.

Temperament: The Sohr Khal, due to their intelligence, have the ability to be domesticated. If they believe that domestication would lead to a better life (such as in the case of them incapable of sustaining themselves in the wilds) or if they find themselves condemned to certain death, they will often relent to hunters and allow themselves to be captured and trained. They are generally not a wrathful or territorial creature, but rather a precise and calculating beast. It is for this reason that many say the Sohr Khal cannot be trusted, as they choose their own safety above anyone else. This is often true, but loyalty can be found within their flock, especially to those who provide them with the sustenance they demand.

Price: Restricted availability. Must be mod approved.

Note: The Sohr Khal mounts are one of the fastest methods of travel in Idalos, and cut flying time by half.

Abilities: While they do not have any special abilities, the Sohr Khal are spectacular in that they are incredibly fast. They are one of the fastest flying creatures in Idalos in short bursts, some of them capable of flying even faster than a peregrine falcon (with no riders, and for a short duration). Much of their lethality comes with their ability to rapidly zoom into their target, and due to their intellect and human-like hands, they are capable of grabbing their prey and dropping them from hundreds of feet in the air, something they can generally do with ease due to their strength. Some have even been fabled to twist the necks of targets as they pass, though many dismiss this as hogwash, considering the precision that would be needed to do so at the speeds the Sohr Khal exhibit.

Their tails, while also posing as a weakness due to their length, are quick and thick. They can lash out at targets and cause massive blunt damage, and as such it is recommended not to attack their rear.

Weaknesses: Exceptionally lengthy tails, can be grabbed to control the mobility of the Sohr Khal. If their wingspans are too damaged, they can't fly, which severely hampers their ability to fight. Generally, temporarily damaging the wingspan of a Sohr Khal is how they are captured.
