creatures of cariain

[Saph]

All the traditional (and subspecies) of mythological creatures and normal critters exist in cariain but here are some of the unique mythological creatures to cariain.
Katurias
What saph is. These critters inhabit much of the mountainos regions. They are horse sized and breath fire. Some can shrink and grow in size. They eat anything that moves and grazes.

Ciatara
Basically a cat with talons, there are many different breeds of these. they eat whatever suits the size of the cat (deer and rabbits are popular)

Liriata
Taloned and winged horses of the sky. they come in all the normal colors of horses and sky blue. My nameless spirit is an example of one of these, she looks the same except for the feathers in her mane and her coloring.

More unique critters live in cariain but i have not made any pictures of them as of yet. You may also suggest ideas of your own critters to me and i will think about adding them to cariain.

Hell horses
they appear as really skinny horses with fangs and dagger claws. They are not very friendly...

Shirka:
horse like creatures wing bird wings and fore feet.... not much is known about these creatures other than they are sacred to the air, weather and sky god arlia. Shirka are closely related to liriatira almost the same species.
winged wolves and cats

not much to say other than they are both very social. They come in many verities, bat winged, feathered etc.
mord
a strange combo of moose and bird... They graze the forests (not the bahiga) and the plains.
half birds
these are birds that can shapeshift between two forms, usaully a small and a big form. They are incredibly loyal, kind, and fierce. They make excellent familiars.

Alright, I will put these into consideration if making rps in specific areas!

they are extremly fast, reaching 75 mph.
Phelinx
Fast desert dwelling wolf like critters. They hunt during dawn and dusk and spend alot of time hiding from the cold and heat of the desert. They can reach speeds of 60mph and can kick up small dust storms.
Drageer
Deer like critters with horns, large dew claws, spikes along there backs and a long tail. They are common in the forests of cariain. They can entangle you in vines and as soon as they are far enough away from a hunter they release it.
Bat winged wolves (no cariainian name yet, help please?"
wolves with there fore legs turned into bat wings. They act alot like wolves and are famous for there abilty to turn invisible at will.

[smuggles]

. is till cant get a good name for the wolves.

[deathbyalice]

Just call them Wargs, like from LOTRs. That is if that are particullarly evil. I would not be sure what to call ones that are not evil.

[deathbyalice]

These critters are funny! Can I play with them??

[Saph]

They are not particulary evil...
yah you can play with them as long as you don't change there physical traits.

[deathbyalice]

I wont, lol. Are they frienly then?

[talitan]

Well the wargs that isengard used were well........ you know tourted and stuff.. but wild wargs werent particulary evil... they just eat make little baby wargs and other things

[Saph]

Well there like humans, it depends on the bat winged wolf....

[deathbyalice]

lol

[Ithildae]

You could call them wargs anyway, it doesn't have to have relation to the LOTR thing. But what if someone comes in knowing those wargs but not your bat-winged-wolf wargs? They might assume that their charries were interacting with four-legged wolf-beasty things instead of wingy wolves.

For naming them, imagine what you might call them if you were a human citizen who discovered them. I'm fresh out of good ideas on that, but if they know wolves and these look wolflike, they'd probably call them some derivitive of that. As unoriginal as bat-wolves or dragon-wolves, even (though of course it's wyverns that have wings instead of forelegs).

A few random names:

Groinlings
Haraks
Tarelles
Luvines
Luftwolves
Furveryns (see what I did there with the fur and the wyverns? eh? eh? ... no? never mind xD)

[deathbyalice]

I think I would probably call some of them chimeras...Not for the mythalogical reference, but the more used one.... At least in anime and such.

[Ithildae]

Yeah, you're right - chimera has come to mean a combination of species in general. Like the goat/sheep combination those scientists made. Wouldn't that be more a description of what the wolfbats are, though?
That's interesting, I didn't know there was a particular anime useage of the word ... not surprising considering how little anime there is on tv here, though. What is it used to name?
