→ BESTIARY: WASTELANDS

There are many critters that run around Adstring, and they should be noted! If you would like to add something to the bestiary, please reply to this entry in a comment using the form. If there is something you'd like to keep "unknown" for now, simply put that in the section.

Creatures too closely resembling humans (either in behavior/thoughts or in appearance) may not be accepted. If it could, potentially, be a playable character, it is not for the bestiary.

For the sake of other players' reference, since pictures are always helpful, please make a 100x100 icon for it with no border if possible. Spore's Trial Version is a good way to create creatures, if it suits your fancy.

Name: Dragonhawk Classification: Reptile Physical Characteristics: Dragonhawks are reptiles that have hawk-like beaks. They have no legs, and thus rely on their wings and tails for movement. The webbing that makes up their wings and tails are like that of a bat's wing. Most dragonhawks will rarely get bigger than a good-sized house cat, however it is possible for them to get as big as a large dog. They can also come in a variety of colors; the most common are golden, red, silver, and blue. Their eyes glow, and can also come in a variety of colors; namely silver, yellow, or red. Diet: Omnivore. They are scavengers, but they do prefer meat. Their diet mostly consists of things such as berries, fruits, mice, rats, and birds. Larger dragonhawks can eat things as large as pumpkins, watermelons, house cats, and small dogs. Habitat: Forested areas where it is possible for them to stay in very tall trees in order to scavenge for birds, or eggs left in abandoned nests. It isn't uncommon for them to also stay in the attic or loft of an abandoned building, where it can feast on rodents and stray cats. They like high, reclusive places. Lifespan: 5-15 years. Additional Information: Dragonhawks possess a variety of sounds, most of which sound like that of a hawk. They also have a "purring" type of sound, which it will use in the presence of someone it loves and trusts.

Name: Fire-lizard Classification: Reptile Physical Characteristics: Around two feet from nose to tail, though size varies with coloration. They look like miniature dragons, with smooth hides instead of scales, headknobs instead of ears, and ridges along their necks. Size and dominant hierarchy established by color, with golds (mating females) being the largest. Hierarchy is Gold -> Bronze -> Brown -> Blue -> Green, with golds and greens being the only females. Rarity is also established by hierachy; queen eggs are rare, and there will at most be one per hatching. Eyes change in color and swirl depending on mood. Diet: Carnivore. Prefers meat. Habitat: Sandy beaches Lifespan: Unknown Additional Information: If fed on hatching, a fire-lizard will form an empathic bond (similar to a weaker form of Impression) with the feeder. Multiple fire-lizards can be bonded to the same person. Fire-lizards can communicate images to their owners. They're social, generally living in flocks, with the golden queen dominant over the rest. Very suitable as pets, though adult fire-lizards cannot be tamed. They're intelligent, curious creatures and generally understand what is going on around them, to the point of taking independent action in the face of their owner's distress. They're capable of complex logic, though nowhere near human in intellect- around the level of a three year old child, or a particularly smart parrot. With patience and training they can be taught to execute commands such as delivering letters or assisting with hunting. More information can be found [HERE]

Name: Flying Monkeys Classification: Beast/Animal Physical Characteristics: Ugly, dark-haired, mean little monkeys with sharp claws that go flying around and causing misery. Eyes are red. Diet: Likely, shockingly, herbivores, but are vicious in nature regardless. Habitat: Usually a dark yucky castle in Oz. But adaptable to any place. Lifespan: 10-15 years. Additional Information: They are originally the controlled creatures of the corrupted Wicked Witch, scattered and confused by the lack of their leader and regardless a terrible foe for anyone who doesn't have shounen powers. They swoop in and play dirty, carrying up prey and dropping them, working together to dismantle some poor soul, or just flat-out going for the gouging. Yick. Larger image

Name: Giant Elk (The Segh) Classification: Mammal Physical Characteristics: This is a nearly seven foot tall deer with a wide, moose-like antler span averaging 12 feet. This animal easily weighs over a thousand pounds and has an extremely thick neck in order to carry the rack that can easily weigh 80 pounds or more. There is no distinction between males and females; both have antlers. Diet: Herbivore Habitat: The Segh prefers to live on the open plains away from trees (where their antlers may be caught.) Their diet consists of coarse roughage and highly mineralized plants in order to maintain their bone structure and antler growth. The Segh will live in herds in excess of 70 during the mating season. Lifespan: Up to 20 years Additional Information: There are no supernatural traits to speak of that anyone has observed. There have been skeletons of Seghs locked in 'eternal battle' found when their antlers have locked in battle and the animals have starved. Larger image

Name: Gyaos Classification: Vampiric Reptile Physical Characteristics: An airborne reptilian creature. It has large bat-like wings that allow it to fly swiftly, but prefers to glide over long distances. Over Gyaos' eyes are large shield plates that protect them from sunlight. Gyaos are mainly nocturnal, normally only hunting at night, unless there is a lack of prey. Diet: Carnivore. Will eat any kind of meat, provided there is blood. Habitat: Highly adaptable, but prefers warmer climates. Lifespan: Unknown Additional Information: Gyaos reproduce asexually, allowing them to breed more of their own kind rapidly. They are also extremely aggressive, and seem to show quite a bit of intelligence, finding ways to outmaneuver their opponents. Gyaos also grow larger as they feed, allowing them to reach extreme sizes at an older age. As a natural ability, Gyaos are able to generate a supersonic shriek which is able to stun prey, and has been known to shatter glass, and severely cripple equipment such as watches. Also, what makes them extremely dangerous, is their beam which is generated by high concentration of particles. This beam can cut through almost any solid material. Larger image

Name: Hippogriff Classification: Avian Mammal Physical Characteristics: The Hippogriff has the combined body, tail and hind-legs of a horse with the head, front legs and wings of a giant eagle. The coloring of their feathers and body varies from creature to creature, but for the most part it usually falls in range of white, black, tan, brown and other natural tones. Diet: Carnivore. They feed mainly on insects, birds and small mammals, such as ferrets and rats. Habitat: Usually found in heavily forested areas of the Wastes, but are not limited to them. Lifespan: Unknown Additional Information: Hippogriffs are extremely proud creatures who show profound loyalty to those who treat them with the proper respect and etiquette. When approaching one, it is customary to stop a few feet away from them first and bow without breaking eye contact. If the a hippogriff bows in return than it is safe to approach, if not... move back, quickly. However, cross them and they can prove just how sharp their talons and beaks an can be. It is recommended that they be handled by professionals trained to do so. Larger image

Name: Humandrills Classification: Beast/Animal Physical Characteristics: Looking akin to large baboons ranging in size from an average man to nine feet, humandrills are pack/group hunters with a sole patriarch, which usually is the largest and strongest of the troop. They can be seen wielding weapons and even wearing armor, as these extremely intelligent creatures tend to mimic what is done around them. Diet: Omnivorous Habitat: Mostly plains and/or forested areas, but they are curious animals, so they will wander into human dwellings and civilizations just to observe the goings-on and perhaps copy what they see people doing. Lifespan: Unknown in canon, but estimated to be no more than 30 years. Additional Information: Humandrills are the literal embodiment of the phrase "monkey see, monkey do". They are very smart and adept at learning on their feet and catching on to using and implementing tools, weapons, and even armor effectively and very quickly. Because they are basically the copycats of their world, it's been said that Humandrills dwelling next to people that are docile and nonviolent will, in turn, be the same way. Those that have lived in war-torn or violent places will thus be conditioned to live and act similarly. And yes, they can copy a person's fighting style, if they're a weapons or even a fighting master. Larger image

Name: Lusus (Vriska’s) Classification: Arachnid Physical Characteristics: She looks pretty much like a regular spider, but huge-- seriously, the thing is bigger than a house. She presumably eats her prey just like regular spiders eat insects-- immobilizing them with venom, wrapping them up in a web for later, and so on. Diet: Prefers troll children, but will branch out and eat anything-- including humans and other Adstringendum residents. Habitat: Caves and caverns. Quiet slow, and doesn't move around much on her own-- she prefers to wait for her prey to come (or be brought) to her. Lifespan: Unknown Larger image

Name: Malboro Classification: They're giant walking tentacle plants with eyes and either a beak-like mouth or a gaping maw with teeth. They generally attack by breathing a noxious fume at the target, or occasionally spiting poison or acid at it. The breath attack can seriously screw someone over. Diet: Photosynthesis, definitely. Small children and animals, possibly. Habitat: Dark, damp areas or really, really cold ones. Lifespan: Unknown Additional Information: DO NOT ENGAGE. Unless you have something that can clear up blindness, poison, confusion and whatever else a malboro can breathe on you, you will likely fall to these guys.

Name: Megalania Classification: Reptile Physical Characteristics: Megalania are large reptiles resembling monitor lizards, but reaching over 20 feet (7 metres) long. They are powerful and fast, and their bite causes rapid infection and blood poisoning. They will bite and then stalk their prey until it collapses, then eat it alive. Diet: Carnivorous. Habitat: Jungle, forest, and scrubland. Lifespan: Unknown, but likely several decades. Additional Information: Some of these lizards have venom that acts as an anticoagulant. Larger image

Name: Minx Classification: Mammal Physical Characteristics: Take one standard lemur. Shrink to the size of a mouse (not counting tail), add lots of long, soft fur (especially fluff covering the eyes). Make ears larger and down turned and shorten tail by a bit. Exchange arms for bat wings with the membrane connecting in the right places. Give an adorable yet really annoying at three o-clock in the morning voice. Color the resulting mammal a dark reddish-brown with black, yellow or white patterns (commonly just stripes and/or big patch on face connected with underbelly) and set loose. Diet: Omnivore. Berries, leaves, bark, insects - basically what you'd find in trees. Also, toupees and other fake hair tend to be considered as delicacies. Habitat: High places, with a preference for the canopy of forests. Has been known to savage the trees outside expensive looking buildings. Lifespan: 3-5 years when in a setting of predators, average of ten years when kept in a safe environment. Additional Information: Minxes are highly curious creatures, often sticking their noses where they don't belong and playing with the shiny red button on the control panel. Their wings are large and strong enough to let them fly, but as a whole the species makes better gliders. They live in family groups of 3-10, and the markings are subtly different in individuals, with said family groups having similar styles.

Name: Parasite Classification: Unknown Insectoid Physical Characteristics: The parasites are about the size of a medium dog, and weigh approximately the same. They have several pairs of eyes, which they use to see very well in the dark. Their feet allow them to climb walls, and buildings, such as a lizard might. Their teeth are quite sharp and deliver a lethal toxin that expands the gas in the body, resulting in death. Diet: Carnivore Habitat: Darkened areas such as buildings, caves, tunnels, etc. Lifespan: Unknown Additional Information: These parasites inject a lethal toxin in their bite that expands the gases in the body, causing the abdominal cavity to explode violently. Symptoms of a bite wound include dizziness, uncontrollable bleeding, and finally, bleeding from all orifices. Larger image

Name: Pythmint Classification: Reptile Physical Characteristics: Classic python size ranging from 15-20 feet full grown. The only difference it has a strong "minty" smell to it to attract prey. Diet: Small to medium sized mammals. Anything it can wrap its coils around is fair game. Habitat: Anywhere with fair amounts of food is game. They hibernate during the winter months. Lifespan: 25-30 years Additional Information: Tastes just as minty as it smells. Young ones also make as good of pets as any python would, with an added bonus of bringing a nice smell to the household.

Name: Red-nosed Reindeer Classification: Mammal Physical Characteristics: Other than it being the size of a small Shetland pony, the red-nosed reindeer looks like an ordinary Arctic reindeer. Except for its glowing red muzzle and its ability to fly despite not having wings. Diet: Herbivore. Leaves, grasses, moss, bark. Pretty much anything that can be found on trees. They are also prone to descending and walking the forest floors in their hunt for mushrooms and other fungi which they have a great fondness of. The easiest way to attract them, however, is to salt the ground or leave salt crystals out to lure them closer. Habitat: They stay away from the outskirts of the Wastelands where people are more likely to come and prefer particularly dense forests, where they live high up in the tree crowns. Unlike most other reindeer, they don't live in flocks (since a herd of red muzzles would be too easy to detect for predators), but instead choose one tree as their territory (for a single adult or an adult female with calf) to which they return at nightfall. Lifespan: In the wild, 8-12 years. If domesticated (which can be extremely difficult to do since they are shy and can fly),up to 20 years if well cared for. Additional Information:During the day, they fly about the surrounding area, mostly staying well over ground, in order to feed. When winter comes, all reindeer migrate to mountain areas where they hibernate in caves until early March. The only time they wake during winter is on Christmas Eve/Christmas Night/Christmas Morning where they gather in huge numbers in the sky above the mountains to mate. The red-nosed reindeer also make for an excellent food and materials resource, though who's to say what might happen should you try eating that glowing muzzle... Larger image

Name: Sabre-tooth Cat Classification: Mammal Physical Characteristics: Ranges from large to medium sizes (think larger than your usual big cats, down to the size of a snow leopard), depending on the type of habitat and breed (tiger, lion, jaguar, leopard, ocelot, lynx, etc.) of the cat. They are a diverse species that come with spotted, striped, or patterns anywhere in-between to sometimes coats of single color depending on their breed. Very quick in their attacks and silent, their speed only lasts for several yards before they begin to slow and possibly end their pursuit should their prey manage to hear them before an attack is sprung. Their canine teeth are very large and curved and has earned them the name of sabre-tooth cat. The sharp claws are not easily missed either, and both are used for hunting or attacking. From time to time, sabre-toothed cats have been known to fight over territory to expand hunting grounds. Diet: Any kind of meat, and remember... you are meat. Habitat: From savanna to mountain ranges. Lifespan: Unknown Additional Information: They are solitary creatures when it comes to their own kind until breeding season, and while their young grow. It is not uncommon to see both parents together with a group of cubs. The sabre-toothed lions are the only acception to this, as they enjoy living in prides to better feed eachother, and their young. Larger image

Name: Sandworm Classification: Megadrile Physical Characteristics: Appearance is very similar to that of a common earthworm. They have Crystalline teeth for dealing primarily with rocks and sand. Teeth are arranged around the rim of it's mouth. Size can vary up to hundreds of meters in length. Diet: Omnivore Habitat: Underground in the sandy areas of the Wastelands. Lifespan: Unknown Additional Information: Young are tamer than adults. Adults are very protective of their own and territorial. Tend to attack solo but can attack in groups. Can be eaten.

Name: Shadow Classification: Pure-blood Heartless Physical Characteristics: Small and black with a tiny pair of antennae, they appear unassuming enough. But their claws are sharp, and their yellow eyes keen. And for normal people, they're stronger than they look. Diet: Hearts. Habitat: They prefer to live in the shadows, so that means pretty much anywhere. Lifespan: Undetermined. Additional Information: These guys are pretty basic; the basic of the basic where Heartless are concerned. Not only the most common type, but the weakest. Still, as said before they're stronger than they look. Characters without special abilities will be easily endangered by them. They can become part of the ground, if it's cast in shadow and move freely across it. Only when they get up and make their move can one attack them.

Name: Sly Fox Classification: Beast/Animal/Pet Physical Characteristics: Usually small and with a brilliant white coat, Sky foxes only differ from normal arctic foxes in that their snouts are elongated and generally look almost trunk or proboscis-like. They are also about the size of a domestic house cat or small dog. Diet: Omnivore Habitat: Plains and wooded areas, or anywhere they can feel comfortable. Lifespan: Unknown in canon, but estimated to be no more than 12 years. Additional Information: Sky foxes are very docile, curious, and intelligent creatures and make marvelous pets. They can understand human speech very well and are loyal and devoted to those they care for. Larger image

Name: Swan Dragon Classification: Avian Reptile Physical Characteristics: Medium sized (about the size of a large male tiger) winged reptile covered in white feathers, recognizable because of the orange, swan-like beak and the front limbs and tail which are covered in scales the same color as the beak. Diet: Omnivorous, and large. Smaller animals, fruits, nuts and seeds, etc. Habitat: Usually can be found inhabiting savannah and desert areas. Lifespan: Supposedly about 15 years. Additional Information: Even though the Swan Dragon is not as aggressive as the other members of its family, it is still a wild animal, and thus, while an individual can eventually be tamed by someone who demonstrates to hold power over it, it would be very difficult.

Name: Tegu Classification: Reptile Physical Characteristics:Tegus are relatively large lizards that can grow to a length of about 4 ft. Their jaws are quite powerful and can cause quite a painful bite. They are normally calm unless hungry or provoked. Diet:Carnivorous Habitat:Warm forested or rocky areas. Lifespan: 10-15 Years Additional Information:Can be tamed, if one has knowledge of reptilian pets. Also come in a variety of colors and species. Larger image

Name: Thestral Classification: Winged Horse Physical Characteristics: For those who can see them, thestrals look something like a cross between a winged horse and a dragon. They have a dragonish head and neck, along with a pair of blank, white, shining, pupil-less eyes. Completely fleshless, their glossy black coats cling to their skeletons, through which every bone is visible. Vast, black and leathery wings, similar to those of bats, sprout from their withers. A long black mane and tail complete their resemblance to horses, while the pointed fangs are once again dragon-like. They communicate with each other through a shrill and strange shriek that resembles some sort of monstrous bird's. Diet: Carnivorous and attracted to the smell of blood. Habitat: Forests and dark environments. Lifespan: Unknown Additional Information: Considered unlucky by many wizards due to their association with death, thestrals can only be seen by those who have seen someone die and fully accepted, understood and internalized the concept. Gentle and quite intelligent despite their appearance, thestrals are loyal and useful creatures that can discern a friend from an enemy, and with the proper patience, can be trained as well. Having an amazing sense of direction, they smart enough to understand their rider's words when they ask to travel to a specific location, and are capable of flying long distances at a great speed. Additionally, their tail hair can be used for a wand's core, powerful but tricky to use. Only one wand made with thestral hair is known to date. Larger image

Name: Tiger-Dog Classification: Mammal Physical Characteristics: Ranging from 8ft long (excluding a tail that leads up to 12 ft in some cases) the tiger-dog has a four-pawed height of upwards from 6ft when fully grown. Weighing around 900lbs or more, the males are larger than the females. Diet: Carnivorous Habitat: Grasslands where they blend in well with tall bushes and shady trees. They have been known to live in mountainous regions when bringing up their pups. Lifespan: 70-80 years. Tiger-Dogs have a huge body and excellent metabolism that, if sustained on a healthy diet, can carry them into the same age span as humans. Additional Information: Females are distinctly more aggressive than males, the latter of which are inquisitive and playful by nature unless fighting for dominance with their flaming breath. Able to breathe fire from birth, these large furry mammals like to live in social groups for several months out of the year until the pups are mature enough to fend for themselves, at which point the parents will seek their own solitude. They are not inherently vicious on-sight unless provoked. Larger Image

Name: Tonberry Classification: Reptile Physical Characteristics: Tonberries are quite small, usually no taller than three feet. They typically have green skin, round heads with small snouts and yellow eyes. They wear dark brown cloaks with hoods and usually carry two things with them: an old-fashioned lantern and a small butcher knife. Diet: Unknown Habitat: Tonberries can normally be found in caves Lifespan: Unknown Additional Information: In battle, Tonberries slowly walk towards the player's party, and when close use their signature Chef's Knife attack, which either does massive damage or instantly kills a party member. If attacked, they counter with Karma or Everyone's Grudge, doing damage to the attacker based on how many enemies they have slain, the damage increasing as the target party member kills more enemies. Compounding their offensive strength is their high HP, placing Tonberries as extremely dangerous foes. For those teams strong and fortunate enough to kill a Tonberry, they will find that they taste of Snozberries.

Name: Unicorn Classification: Mammal Physical Characteristics: Young unicorn foals start out with a pure gold coat, turning silver when they are around two years old and growing their horns at around four. They reach full maturity when they are seven years old and are pure white with golden hooves and a silver horn. Diet: Herbivore. Leaves, grass, fruit etc. Habitat: Forested areas of the Wastelands, though some braver, more curious ones can sometimes be found exploring the greener, less populated areas of the Safezone. Lifespan: Unknown Additional Information: Unicorns are powerful magical creatures that tend to move around in herds, usually led by a dominant mare. The adults are very protective of their young, herding them to the center of the group when threatened before using their hoofs and horns to drive off the predator. They are said to represent innocence and purity, and are highly intelligent. Perhaps it is because of this that they are wary of humans, preferring women to men, though the babies are usually more trusting and tend to nuzzle curiously at humans once they get over their initial shyness. It helps if the one they're nuzzling has sugar cubes to offer them. A good judge of people, unicorns will sometimes take an immediate liking to some while drawing back or even striking out at others. It takes time for them to become wholly comfortable with the presence of humans, much less trust them, but once their trust is gained, they can be quite affectionate and will even let some people ride them, though they will never allow themselves to be tamed as pets. If someone is at death's door, drinking unicorn blood can keep them alive, but unless that blood was given willingly, the drinker will live a cursed life from the very minute the silver-blue blood touches his or her lips.

Name: Warp Stalker Classification: Reptile Physical Characteristics: Scale color can vary from white to dark purple to dark green to bright red-orange. The common characteristic is their glowing eyes, spikes protruding from its back, sharp claws on its feet, and spiked tail. The average adult is 10-15 feet from nose to tail and 2-4 feet tall at the shoulder. Diet: Fish and fruit, though it has been known to attack humans when provoked.

Lifespan: Unknown Additional Information: Smart and powerful creatures, they are able to phase in and out of physical and astral dimensions. Their shifting has been known to disturb magical energy in the area. They can be aggressive when provoked or threatened, but with proper training, can be ridden as mounts. They are also edible.

Though if starving, likely anything fleshy. Habitat: Dark places, usually forests where they're more isolated, they lurk in caves and places under the earth they themselves can even burrow; the one in the series lived in a mine, for example. Lifespan: Immortal until killed. Additional Information: The creature is capable of a lot of nasty tricks in order to get its prey; it can mimic voices to lure people to it, and it has a keen sense of sight and smell. It's also very fast and very strong; normal knives and guns aren't very effective, but fire is an easy way to take them out, and straight up silver, according to Supernatural canon. Larger image
