《Silvergates: Northworld (Book 1 complete)》Appendix: Northworld Fauna
Advertisement
Enterprising Gaters have named species of Northworld, including unnatural species. Most of those species will probably be renamed if there is ever a real Northworld taxonomy tree since there’s no reason why a Rabbicorn would be related to its mundane Earth equivalent.
Lepus Cornutus (Horned Hare) – A hare-like herbivore with a single horn on its forehead. Typical ranks 1 to 3.
Canis Curiosus (Curious Dog) – A gray wolf analog that is highly curious about possible prey, even when not actively hunting. Typical ranks 3 (young) to 8.
Echinotritus Unda (Smoking Newt) – A smoke-breathing black salamander. The smoke is slightly debilitating, but not dangerous. Typical ranks 5 to 11.
Canis Albinus (White Dog) – A white wolf analog that is highly territorial. Will attack at random. Typical ranks 6 to 11.
Leopardus Serpo (Prowling Ocelot) – A stealthy mid-sized feline predator, nearly impossible to notice unless it is currently attacking you. Typical ranks 7 to 15.
Varanus Luteus (Orange Monitor Lizard) – A mid-sized sauroid with a yellow-orange skin that is highly prized for its fire protection properties. Typical ranks 7 to 12.
Rattus Bromosus (Fetid Rat) – A cat-sized rodent with a particularly pungent smell. The smell acts as a distraction for would-be predators. Typically ranks 8 to 14.
Chaerephon Spuo (Spitting Bat) – A small flier that spits slightly acidic saliva. It’s assumed it’s used to dissolve hard fruit rinds. Typically ranks 8 to 16.

Buffalus Percurro (Hasted Buffalo) – A large bovine with an extremely quick gait, capable of sustaining trot speed for hours with two-three hundred kilograms of charge. Percurro will be extremely agitated and might attack if you’ve killed any of its kind during the last three months or so. Typical ranks 19 to 25.
Agamodon Acer (Cutting Legless Lizard) – A subterranean snake-like creature with sharp bony sides. Its constricting attack is particularly effective due to the bone razors. Typical ranks 20 to 28.

Umbra Terrenus (Underground Shade) – A spirit that appears in key underground locations at specific times. At least Lesser Elite. Typical ranks 28 to 49.
Sus Dentefaber (Spiked Boar) – A boar with hedgehog-style spikes. Highly magical resistant, but weak to psionic attacks. Typical ranks 29 to 50.

Eudimorphodon Sexalatus (Six-winged Drakes) – Name for the members of the Drake family. The six-winged lizards also have six limbs for grasping. The males and females exhibit very different colors, but each sex has an extremely wide range of sizes. Typical ranks 36 to 98 (apparently proportional to size).
Canis Infernum (Hell Hound) – A red-pelted wolf. Particularly full of Aether, which makes it vulnerable and extremely dangerous at the same time. Typical ranks 42 to 50.
Megantereon Triceps (Three-headed Feline) – A giant feline version of the classic Cerberus. It primarily uses magical attacks. Typical ranks 45 to 58.
Pumilus Umbra (Shadow Dwarf) – A 60-70cm hairless humanoid with grey mottled skin. Moderately intelligent, and extremely cunning. Typical ranks 46 to 70.
