Behemoth: The names of these creatures tends to be rather self explanitory.  These creatures are said to be the result of the abandonment of a number of humans, in the early 16th century on the island of Desolate.  These people were thought to have evolved at the same rate at the creatures which inhabited the area, possessing a number of organic magical abilities to compliment the natural ability of human souls to gain channeling potential.  They maintain the humanoid body structure, but have evolved ivory claws and hooves to replace their fingers and toes respectively.  They also possess a thick fleshy tail, and increased amounts of body hair among the males.  They have little need for clothing as their thick skin defense provides more than enough protection from the environment normally.  They also boast an extremely muscular physique and tend to have an unkempt appearance.  On a basic level, they possess human intelligence but tend have little intellectual and social development capacity.

Usual Locations: Desolate

Possible Locations: Eranes, Hell

Benraevi: Quadrupedal organisms of human class intelligence, these are thought to have evolved from polar bears, retaining a number of the features of that organism.  They differ from their supposed ancestors in that they possess bright red, yellow and orange fur as well as slightly larger heads.  They have also adpated a more structured pack hunting mentality, abandoning stealth.  Benefiting from an overdrive of the natural mammalian homeostasis system, which later developed into the ability to generate and control large amounts of heat.  The tend to live in colder areas, where they terraform the environment to suit their preferred tastes.  Some Benraevi tribes have been known to branch of into warmer climates but are met with less success then their cold climate counterparts.

Usual locations: Frostmore, Osiire.

Possible Locations: Crystales

Berserker: Another descendant of the bear family, these creatures take their origin from the famous grizzly variety of that family.  Berserkers actually tend to be rather peaceful normally, only attacking other organisms to feed or when threatened.  Unfortunately the creatures also seem to have an over developed maternal instinct, causing females to become extremely aggressive when in the company of youth of the species.  The Berserkers have an extremely defined body, showing their developed muscilar physique.  They have longer limbs than their ancestors, causing their bodies to approach a more humanoid physique, however, being primarily adapted to walkinig on four legs, this is not fully the case.  They possess very hard and brittle fur, which acts as a defense mechanism, and possess some geomancy abilities.  There intelligence is high, those their intellectual capacity is too low to be compared to that of humans.

Usual locations: Aianores, Crystales, Jin

Possible Locations: Alegens

Chimera: Bipedal feathered species of organisms.  Though their processing abilities are on par with humans, they never evolved a high social or intellectual capacity, leaving them quite beastial in their behaviors.  The feathers of these creatures are said to be the reason for their natural defense mechanism, an almost undetectable stealth.  As their stealth features are thought to be an organic magical ability rather than one related to their soul's channeling potential, their feathers tend to be used in the creation of stealth armours.

Usual Locations: Jin, Hell, Malaikin, Desolate.

Constrictors: Never ones to be left behind, the constrictor family of snakes seemed to have benefited even more so than any others among the snakes by the advent of magic. Impossibly powerful serpents now roam with what could be termed super strength, and more importantly a powerful form of tactile telekinesis which allows them to apply every ounce of said power to any point which they touch. It has also been reported that their very force seems imbued with an ether preservative which allows them to literally crush their prey into what is essentially an ether stone, which they then swallow and allow to feed them for some time to come. Constrictors are especially valued for this ability by most creature which can manage to avoid being their prey, so much so that only 1 in 13 stones created by the beasts are ever actually personally devoured, the rest being stolen by any number of different thief species at least 2 of which depend upon the snakes for these meals.

Juggernaut: The great lords of the waters, the Bardic kings. These beasts are the greater descendants of the humpback whales which once roamed the oceans. While often considered of little importance in the political scenes of the more prevalent cultures, these great beasts have had a significant impact upon cultures the entire world around.  Though titanic of body their true strengths lay in their immense psychic talents, exhibiting both the pure strength of their abilities and the sheer skill which they employ in utilizing them. From the first time of contact these beasts have been, for a fee of energy, entertaining and beguiling the minds of happy customers with psy-scapes; enfusing the senses with an event which can be described as movie production in full 3d with all senses accounted for. Psychic impressions of their performances pressed onto ether stones are often traded for with great enthusiasm amoung their fan followings, which stretch from continent to continent, they themselves benefiting from the influx of both new psychic ‘material’ to work with and easy food in the form of ether payments. It is a testament to their prowess that there are no recorded incidents of an attack upon these creatures not peacefully resolved within mere moments of its inception.

These beasts are light based elementals in which the male of the species is exceptionally large and physically powerful, utilizing a glyph based armour of light as both a piercing/grappling weapon, as well as a defense all at once. The female of the species generates its own version of the same armour, utilizing it to become visually and ethereally cloaked, as well as to create clones of herself to confuse prey during the hunt. Unlike the male, females have both melee and ranged offensive weaponry specialized for taking prey while it is focused on the clones. Lioras have been long considered a symbol of power and grace by peoples the world over. In a small number of both male and females of the species runic wings have been observed.

Maug’Ridg: A beast of indiscernible mammalian decent.  A shaggy affair with a blunt snout and its body awash with warning colorations of bright outstanding combinations of red, yellow and black.  It wages sensory warfare with all that it comes into contact with and at every level. For while it indeed has a foul initial odor, the beast also has specialized sprays which posses an even fouler scent, being ethereally imbued with gut wrenching, sensory twisting energies.  As a passive ability, even the ether around the beast warps into a distinctly unpleasant cesspool, causing the very act of channeling to hold an unpleasant feeling while it also projects a disturbingly unpleasant psychic aura as well. Even its carcass is unpleasant for when it dies it infects all of the local ether and psychic residue with its distinctive unpleasantness, while its body literally bloats and explodes into a truly foul concoction, with an unexplainable persistence, exhibiting a strange minor form of magical fallout which continues to ‘haunt’ an area with its foul presences for a while after it expires. Its name translates to Foul Fool. Much like the Krickau, these creatures were exterminated locally by many of the larger established clans.

Murder: The descendents of the black bird family they have become sleeker hunting machines, made for swarming an opponent into submission via high speed strikes. But this is the least important aspect of their nature. Each bird in the group contributes a part of it psyche to an amalgamation of psychic links, it is in fact this amalgamation of links and not the birds themselves which is referred as the Murder. Within the Murder each bird becomes a hand of the whole, each a piece of a precise and intelligent being dedicating itself to becoming greater and more powerful. A true Murder can form with only 3 birds in a linked group and as such individual Murders have been noted throughout the world, each its own distinct personality, the Murder itself having a soul and psyche separate and distinct from those of the birds which it commands as its own. Vicious wars of integration are often fought between rival murders, the object of which is to diminish their foes enough to overwhelm and integrate what is left of them into themselves. In Itam there is a single murder who has served the royal family for as long as any remember, a beast who’s membership counts in the millions and is itself a channeler of great repute, Karasu the Tengu. Individual birds in a Murder are usually referred to as Krow.

Know for a voracious appetite and the ability to rip preserved chunks of ether from the forms of their prey, these beasts, while dangerous, are usually just hit and run predators, stealing ether chunks and leaving the victim alive for the next ravenger to pass.  However, when a large enough pack of them gather, they are incited to a mating frenzy and in that frenzy they become swarm hunters, not stopping till they have gorged themselves full of prey.  Whether that be local creatures they pull down in their frenzy or the bodies of injured brethren, in this state their threat level is increased dramatically. Their bites also have a tendency to cause ether hemorrhaging.

Titan: Essentially a living wall of intelligent armour, these creatures live a slow peaceful life.  This is primarily because their bodies are essentially the epitome of a mobile fortress.  These creatures often travel to trees of life within an area, which they migrate to and browse upon.  These elephantine descendants are, along side of their own natural armour, usually encrusted with the crystal residues which collect from the anti-entropic activities of the Trees. Along with their mighty physical bulk the Titans have developed a psychic internet as well, a reflection of their elephantine history.  The Titans have strong alliances with the great Juggernauts of the seas due to their shared use of the global psychic relay, often themselves acting as overland boosting stations for their undersea brethren. Unlike their undersea brethren they are fairly talentless psychics, merely utilizing it as a convenient way to talk to other Titans and Juggernauts in distant places.

But it is not for this fur which they are best known. Indeed they are the very model of the psycher’s stubbornness, able to go into a berserker’s fury when confronted with prey or foe which presents a credible threat. These creatures are indeed best known for this natural ability to Overclock themselves driving their threat level far beyond what their conventional abilities suggest for a short duration, allowing them to slaughter and devour their enemies, even when said enemies seem to have the advantage in power.
