BLADESERPENT,
THE ANCYTHRIAN
The
Ancythrian Bladed Serpent (or simply "Bladeserpent") is a large sea-snake living
in the depths of the Ancythrian Sea, about the size of a large ship and
purportedly 2-3 peds in
diameter. The serpent received its name from a blade that is attached to its
head and tail, lending it fierce looks and a dangerous weapon. The beast's
existence for a long time had been doubted and there was great speculation, and
it was generally assumed that the tales of the serpents were mere myths created
by weary sailors. Until the discovery of its giant eggshells floating inland
from the sea convinced the most dubious researchers...

GIANT
KRAKEN,
THE
The Giant
Kraken is a very rare, very unseen sea-creature
with 8 gigantic tentacles. The only way they have been found is dead,
washed up upon the banks of the seas. These massive
creatures are one of the most dangerous, largest, and still unknown
about creatures within
Caelereth. With their
strength they can even tear whole ships apart.

HYDRAGON
WORM,
THE
The
Hydragon (pronounced HIGH-drah-gon) is a rare but dangerous
water monster, which frequents fresh-water
lakes and rivers in Northern Sarvonia
and Nybelmar though the occasional specimen
has been located as well in the Rayne and the Teiphra rivers just south of the
Tandala Mountains. It is also
known as “Ergvaz’mur” (Kugliz'seitre,
lit. “Three Heads”) and to the elves as the
"Coór'raház" (Styrásh, "Snake of
Coór"). There is believed to be also a
variety in Nybelmar known as the Bala'Ur,
which is reportedly monstrous in size, but no proofs of the latter are
available. Many people think the Hydragon to be completely mythical, but the
Northerners know better and most peoples, from the
Celeste Lowlands to Barsalon, can
show the curious a shed skin, or the “beak fang”, or a preserved specimen of
some sort.

KAIMUN
REPTILE,
THE
The Kaimun
(plural "Kaimuni") is a fearsome-looking but sedentary
water beast, resembling an enormous
carnivorous lizard. It has two varieties, the large
Ocean Kaimun and the smaller Swamp Kaimun, which are nearly identical in
appearance except for their size. The Ocean Kaimun is found in the southern
ocean waters and ranges along the Sarvonian
coast from the Gulf of Maraya to just past Ciosa. The Swamp Kaimun is found
throughout the Sarvonian continent wherever
there is wet swampy territory, as far north as the Water Marshes, the area of
the former elven metropolis
Fá'áv'cál'âr.

KRRROA'HAXPATTL
MONSTER,
THE
The
Krrroa'haxpattl, how the
icetribes name this beast due to the sounds it makes when mating (sometimes also
referred in its short form, "Krrroa"), is one of the
most feared beasts of the Northern seas of
Caelereth, but one of the most fascinating and strange at the same time. It
is often described as a gargantuan, black mass with no fixed form with a forest
of tentacles. Actually it is not very ferocious, except in certain
circumstances. It is not its enormous size which frightens the people, but it is
said that looking at it causes horror in the bravest man or woman, though this
can not be explained with its sheer appearance alone.

OPHOCHIO,
THE ("SWAMP
SERPENT")
The
Ophochio (oh-FO-chee-oh) is an immense swamp wyrm that is found in Northern
Sarvonia. It is known by various names: As Swamp Serpent in
Santharia, Otorm’tog (Kuglim'seitre),
Chor’haz (Styrásh) Kanarolon (Thergerim-Taal),
to name a few. It is located in the magic-polluted
Crystal Lake of
Northern Sarvonia, just north of
the Tandalas, and is thought to be
something created by the warping of
Diorye’oleal magics in that area.

YOYARR
MONSTER,
THE
The Yoyarr
is a bizarre creature that dwells in the Black Lakes of Trumatyreon within the
caverns inhabited by the Trumarim Dwaves and
Darkling Brownies in
western Nybelmar. Yoyarr, perhaps better
known as the Akotiljor, are noted for their ability to survive in the otherwise
inhospitable lakes and for their massive, glowing teeth. Unfortunately, while
Trumarim are known to possess a wealth of information on most subjects that
involve the Black Lakes, it appears that overfishing has removed Akotiljor from
those sections of the lakes that reside nearest their settlements long ago,
leaving Darkling Brownies
both their main source of the glowing teeth and of researchers' information on
these enigmatic creatures.
