in addition to the standard fauna of an Domhan
caladrius (snow-white magical bird that - rarely - comes around when a person is gravely ill; generally the person is a king, great warrior, etc.; if the caladrius looks at the sufferer, then he will certainly recover; if the bird refuses to look upon the stricken person, he will die)
catoblepas (animal-creature with a buffalo-like body, a head that is similar to a boar; can raise its head only a little; has armor-like plates along its back for protection; inoffensive but lethal in self-defense, as some can cast a lethal gaze, others have deadly poisonous breath)
cockatrice (strange fusion of reptile - snake - and rooster; cockatrice have a deadly gaze, and a wound inflicted by its talons or beak can have an equally deadly effect; cockatrice are extremely aggressive as a means of self defense, making them deadly opponents)
flying horse (not to be confused with the magical, intelligent pegasus; these are simply horses with wings, herd animals that often become prey to rocs, griffins and even hippogriffs; their survival is ensured by their large herd sizes - look out below)
giant octopus (giant form of the normal animal, more than just an animal; very intelligent; most don't trifle with humanity or high si, some that have been - or believe they have been - wronged become killers, others are killers to begin with; freshwater versions like their small kin are smaller and rely on their great agility, which in the case of the giants makes them potentially terrifying opponents)
giant squid (kraken; huge carnivorous predator that will just as soon attack a whale as a swimming humanoid, but does not have any real hesitation to do either; slightly more intelligent than their small kin, the giant squid is an animal of huge proportion; freshwater versions like their small kin are smaller and rely on their great agility, which in the case of the giants makes them potentially terrifying opponents)
griffin (predatory creature, body of a large lion, head and wings of a giant eagle; occasionally prey on humanoids as targets of opportunity but more commonly depredate livestock)
hippocampus (half horse, half serpentine with fish-like fin at end; water creature that can be domesticated by water races, but is generally encountered wild)
hippogriff (originally the product of griffin mating with a mare - which is its favorite prey - almost all hippogriff come from other hippogriff, and the species is an occasional prey animal for griffin, rocs, and the largest pterodons; hippogriff are wild, very difficult to break, and occasionally attack humans or si in self defense or even as prey)
insect, giant (giant versions of various insects; moths and butterflies are usually harmless if left alone, while bees can be deadly and bloodsuckers are a major threat)
karkadann (horned animal, similar to a smaller Elasmotherium and most likely a relative; strange in that it is carnivorous despite appearing more like a herbivore; striped black and yellow, some spotted like a leopard; ferocious predator with no fear of humans or high si and will attack, often without provocation)
llamhigyn y dwr = water leaper
Nemean lion = subspecies of maned smilodon, the largest lions in the world
pegasus (winged, magical horse that is more intelligent that natural horses; not simply an animal like the regular horse or winged horse; will not accept just anyone as a rider, and quite difficult to 'break')
phoenix (incredible bird, thoroughly magical; perhaps only one exists at a time; when the phoenix dies or is killed it is consumed by flames, but in the ashes a baby phoenix arises; lifespan is around 600-1000 years and as the end of that life cycle approaches the phoenix migrates, often travelling to other continents before rebirth; feather is enormously valuable, especially to alchemists)
"prehistoric" animals (include Smilodon et al, dire wolf, Harpagornis eagle, elephant bird, Stegodon elephant, Irish elk Megaloceros, Megatherium sloth, short-faced bears, cave bears, Brontotherium and other Brontothere rhinos, wooly rhinoceros, Mammoth, Mastodon, woodland musk ox, Phorusrhacos large flightless bird, Gomphothere "shovel tusk" elephants - Platybelodon et al, Borophagus dogs and other large hyenas, cave hyena, hyaenodon, cave lion, Panthera lion, Elasmotherium rhino, Doedicurus and other Glyptodon armadillo, Deinotherium elephant, Entelodont carnivorous pigs, Uintatherium and Eobasileus rhino-like mammals, Diprotodon large marsupial herbivore, Europa hippo, Gomphotherium elephants, Paraceratherium giant hornless rhino, marsupial lion, Moeritherium small-eared, tuskless elephant, Sivatherium antlered giraffe, Synthetoceras tri-horned deer, Teleoceras short-horn rhino, Odobenocetops walrus-whale, Deinosuchus et al giant crocodiles, stag-moose, Steller's sea cow, et al - as well as a host of others, innocuous, small, and not so small.)
"prehistoric" sea creatures (including trilobites, Basilosaurus and Dorudon large serpentine sea mammals, squalodon sharktooth dolphin, Orthacanthus shark, ammonoids/belemnoids/nautiloids - some over 50 feet long/wide, Dunkleosteus, armored fishes jawed and jawless, Eurypterid sea scorpions, dangerous corals, Thalattosaur marine lizards, Mosasaurus, Thalassomedon, Plesiosaurs, Pliosaurs - including the monster Liopleurodon one of the most powerful of all "monsters"; various other marine reptiles and "prehistoric fishes"; Leedsichthys huge fishes; Ichthyosaurs marine reptiles; et al - as well as a host of others, innocuous, small, and not so small.)
pterodactyl/pterosaurs (several species; many are fish-eaters and less dangerous, but lethal in self defense; some are small, others large and some are huge; a few are as large as a roc and just as powerful)
roc (huge bird of prey, size like that of the very largest pterodons; the largest rocs can carry off an elephant; although more or less only a bird, it is a lethal predator who can crush a human in the blink of an eye)
salamander, alchemist's (these appear like regular salamanders, except they can be quite large and with a venomous bite; immune to fire, they can be brought into the world by alchemical processes or - rarely - naturally, in volcanic eruptions and fierce wildfires; alchemical salamanders released into the world can reproduce with natural salamanders, except that the fire immunity will decrease to resistance until, after a few generations, the offspring are normal salamanders)
spider, giant (ferocious predator, much feared; most are simply big arachnids in search of food, others possess an alien intelligence that makes them even more deadly)
unicorn (the renowned single-horned horse being, magical and intelligent; playful in youth, they are wild and untamable, very rarely wicked but will defend themselves, their kin and their home with ferocity; most are white, some are brown or roan; horn color is usually white but this too can vary)
water leaper = llamhigyn y dwr (dangerous water predator, appearing as a very large frog that in place of legs has wings and a serpentine tail; mouth has sharp fangs; usually eats fish and other smaller marine life, a horde will attack livestock and horses and occasionally humaniods)
