Animals
One person's idea of something is often vastly different from another's. Only with a grain of truth from every thinker will your field of rice grow strong.
While it may tempting to consider seemingly simple beasts a threat not much caring about, underestimating the most numerous denizens of the world is an easy way to end up not reaching the monster you sought out to slay.
Where are you on the Food Chain?
Most predators only go for the food they know. Ideally something easy enough to catch but large enough to be worth the effort. While terrifying, you have no reason to fear the passing shadow of a Baxilom Eagle (unless you happen to be an elephant). But if you ever find yourself falling under the gaze of a hungry tiger then you have my condolences.
Unless a predator is desperate, driven mad by hunger or dark magic, you can make a quick pace through the wild lands without having much to worry about as long as you are slightly bigger than them. All bets are off though when it comes to an angry cow.
A man might slay a dragon, but a single touch from the wrong toad might well do to them the same.
Defence Against Animals
Fear of Loud Noises
Animals, as with many people, have long been greatly unnerved by sudden, violent sounds. It is often a good idea to have something ready to make a lot of noise to hand, should you need to clear away the crows... Or maybe even something larger.
Bite Collars
It is hard for something to chew at your neck if it covered in spikes.
Types of Animals
|
AviansBirds & NeosaursThese are the ones who take to the skies and many other places besides. |
MammalsAlmost all MammaliansFrom badgers to bears, there is a mammal in almost every niche of every ecosystem. |
RephibiansReptiles & AmphibiansTwo very different groups of animals often sharing space together. |
FishFish!The most iconic denizens of the seas. Fish can be found in water and may other things besides. |
|
InsectilesInsects & ArachnidsArguably the rulers of many worlds, these two groups are almost everywhere... Especially where you don't expect. |
MolluscCephalopods & FriendsSlimy things of the land, skies and seas. Often coming with their own home. |
CaddriumWorms, Starfish, Urchins & AnemonesA large grouping of vastly different creatures, brought together due to some ancient misunderstanding. |
KrusttackansCrustaceans & Giant Insects/ArachnidsSheltered in secret amongst the arcs of old gods. Krusttackans grew large from a surface that was shattered like eggshells. |
|
PlasmoidsSlimes, Jellyfish & MacrobacteriaWith nothing but the company of crabs and ghosts. Evolution found new way to fill out what was lost. |
NiedriadsNativized & Non-Native ExofaunaLike the Dingos of old, many of these visitors from other worlds have spent enough time to be welcomed into the ecosystem. Just as many have not. |
ExobiansThe few remaining survivors of the very first beings to have earned their life. Only those well hidden or too small to be hunted have made it through this far. |
????All the animals that do not fit into the other categories. |
Animals are not machines, anybody that has spent time with them knows there is something going on behind those eyes. Except for the orange one sleeping on my desk. |
