I've started to make my own creatures for the narratives that I am writing and wanted to share them in a separate post that I can keep adding to as I write. This also allows whoever to use them if they feel they would fit into their own fluff. Some descriptions may change slightly as I think about the species more as a whole, but these are the general ideas and species that are inspiring them. I will edit this section as I add more.
I am also including plant life into these lists as my character is versed in the landscape what is good to use and what isnt.
So far I have only really thought of creatures for Ghur as that is where my story will focus on mostly at first...and its the realm of beasts, all sorts of crazy stuff probably calls the realm home.
Any feed back would be wonderful!
Ghur:
Quetzldon – Giant Reptilian Dragon Sized Flyer that haunts the Ghur Skies and landscapes. With its large talons, spiked clubbed tail and razorsharp beak and fangs this predator is able to take on even the largest of monsters. If tamed a Quetzldon is fitted with a 5 skink crew, 1 that guides the giant reptilian and 4 others placed on its underbelly with blow pipes and javelins aplenty to skewer foes below. A host of these roost on the Tallest towers of Xiuhcoatl, their skink handlers ready to mount and swoop down against any foe. (Inspired by Quetzalcoatlus)
Bajasauradon – A Pygmy Sauropod reptilian that makes up for its lack of size with defensive spikes down its spine and most of its side while ending in 6 large spikes as tall as a man on its tail. Still weighing up to 6 tons, the Bajasauradon can still break through most battlelines with ease. When not being used in battle they are used as pack animals/work animals by nomadic tribes, trade caravans and by Seraphon/Lizardmen specifically. This is a subspecies of Thunderlizard, native to the Dragon Isles they are slightly more intelligent than their larger Lustrian Cousins, they transported to Ghur by the Star Seer Itzli-Citalli when he lifed the Dragon Isles into Space. Engine of the Gods and other Mythical devices are often put onto these walking fortresses. (Inspired by Bajadasaurus)
Diemetcrocodon – Seemingly a cross between a large Crocodilian and a Troglodon, this four legged beast lurks in swamps and large rivers. With Dual sails riding down its back in a diagonal position, it soaks up the suns rays while lying on the shoreline. If not near water this predator is quick and still powerful and should be approached with caution. With a bite force of over 10,000lbs this creature can snap most small victims in half with a single snap. (Inspired by Dimetrodon and Sarcosuchus)
Xalachiosaurus – Fourlegged Herbivore with mighty bone plates that soak up the suns and moons rays and sharp side spikes that line all the way to a flattened blade like tail with large spikes coming out at the end. Native to Ghur these animals migrate in great herds across the red dirt savanah landscape in search of water from its mighty rivers. Slightly smaller than an aged Stegadon, the Xalachiosaurus is smarter and less aggressive, unless provoked. Having slightly more intelligence allows the skinks that command these into battle to maneuver faster with slightly more complex movements. Another use is that they are able to power mighty Moon Stones of Huanchi and Sun Stones of Chotec that deliever devestation to foes and bulster allies. These plates also offer another natural defense for the creature by being able to radiate heat blasts from the plates themselves. (inspired by Stegosaurus and Kentrosaurus)
Plants:
Blue Paradise - Euphoric and relaxing, used by Xolek after battle to help him forget the carnage brought by him, if only for a moment in time. The smell of sweet orange and mint fills tjr air as this herb is smoked, soothing all around who smells it. Herbivores are especially attracted to the scent. Only Grown by Amazons on their island or the surrounding main land, highly guarded. Only respected members or guests are able to partake or gather it.
Properties:
Sunray Flower: Thought to be a blessing of Chotec onto this world, these plants flower a beautiful red orange with white accented flower. Naturally gives energy to those effected allowing faster strikes or faster dodging, this is a flower Xolek uses before battle, a ring of smoke dancing seound him as he does a ritual dance that soon turns into a fury of obsidian. They grow on trees as their vines stretch upwards, strengthening the bark it touches.
Properties:
Purple Moon: A flower of bright lilac purple with a highlight of royal purple and specs of moon silver this flower is found deep in the jungle near river sides and grows on the moss surrounding trees and rocks. When Dried and chewed this flower enhances magical affinity and expands then mind to be able to process higher difficulty spells. A rare flower that is often covered by the Fauna of the Jungle for its rich flavor from the natural sap that comes from the leaves whether fresh or dried.
Properties:
The Earthen Flower: This Flower grows very low to then ground and sprawls about for many yards. Although a big plant it is very hard to find among the brush of the jungle floor. Not only do other plants make it hard to see but the stems and branches of this flower resemble small logs and the flowers grow under and on the lower side of the stems and branches. If smoked or chewed this flower gives resilience to the partaker, as if being hardened by the earth itself and also having small healing properties allowing wounds to heal faster with less chance of infection.
