《Grimoire's Soul》Bonus Worldbuilding Chapter 3: Animals of Kesterline
Advertisement
Kesterline is extremely large, with plenty of biodiversity to go around. Many animals we know of are in Kesterline, but also some unfamiliar animals as well.
Where there are Polar Bears, Caribou, and Walrus…
Mammoth Bears: Megafauna, but for polar bears. They have been known to hibernate for years, and are one of the few “endangered” animals in this world. Throkes: Long serpent like beings with thick, rubbery fat. They are considered a seadragon/ sea serpent. Comparable to seals, sea lions and walruses, only thirty feet long. Arctic Tortoise: A tortoise adapted to living in the arctic, its shell is covered in fur. It has a particularly sharp beak, which it uses to burrow its head underground in search for roots to eat. Daggerfly: a relative of the mosquito family, they often hunt in swarms. Their bite is like ice. Worble: A big fat roly poly mammal with thick fur and a thick padded head. They are herbivores whose mode of defense is extending its head out and back, like a retractable hammer. It has, on occasion, been known to roll away from its predators.
Where there are Elk, Beaver and Bison…
Dragon Squirrel: a large squirrel with two sets of arms, it can climb up trees, and has been known to grow to large enough sizes to be mistaken as a furry human. Still an herbivore, and has a prehensile tail. Fresk: A small, squat, rodent, with pronounced tusks and a skull that gives it the image of having constant angry eyebrows. Grizzly Tiger: They said it couldn’t be done. Well, it could. Run. Prime Butterfly: It is noted for a brilliant black zigzag pattern, and sheer white wings. Waterhorse: More akin to a deer than a horse, it has 1-3 horns on its head, and is suspected to be the inspiration for the myth of unicorns. Mammoth Fox: Megafauna, but for a fox. Often will be found mingling with wolves.

Where there are Brown Bears, Mountain Lions and Timber Wolves…
Dragon Snail: it is lorge, and is frequently found hanging upside down in caves. Toadhog: Similar to a hedgehog, but its prickles will attract and naturally grow fungus, which the creature will use to feed to its young. Also larger than a hedgehog. Listran Gull: an annoying bird that refuses to stop making noise, and fucks a lot. We will be better for it when it dies off. Mistybees: nonstinging bees that pollinate flowers. Instead of collecting honey in hive, they populate at the base of a tree, and turn the pollination into a fertilizer that helps the tree grow, as well as being a source of food. Wildkit: an offshoot of cats, they were trained and bred to hunt animals.
Where there are Coyotes, Prairie Dogs and Rattlesnakes…
Green Elephants: not actually green, but called so anyway, due to it having a slightly blue hue. They are slightly shaggy, and are thinner compared to other elephants, but still have the signature large trunk and ears. Mammoth Grouse: Not actually megafauna, it’s just a really big bird inaccurately labeled as megafauna. Wedfow: A cow-like creature with hulking shoulders and horns that curl around its jaw. Its cheese and milk are considered a delicacy, but mostly due to how much of a pain it is to milk it. Desert Crab: They burrow underground, and do not need water to survive. They are not actually crustaceans, nor are they actually native to the typical desert. They do prefer arid climates, and they do have hard outer shells with meat on the inside. They also have incredibly long whiskers that have light poison qualities to them, allowing them to paralyze smaller prey. They can grow up to three feet. Omnivore. Arthropod.

Where there are Gila Monsters, Roadrunners, and Turkey Vultures…
Twiggy Mouse: A two tailed mouse with spikes coming out of its back. It is often used to camoflage with cactuses. Obsidian Owl: an owl of dark black/brown feathers, it roosts on cliffsides, and hunts coyotes and other owls. Dustcrawler: an insect that keeps low to the ground, its powerful hind legs will kick up the dirt to get away. Glistening Band: a snake with unique venomous properties--it will temporarily turn the affected area partially transparent. Creates the visceral image of being able to see your veins seize up through your transparent muscle and skin.
Where there are Toucans, Anteaters and Jaguars…
Destine Butterfly: A butterfly with wings that are so sharp and fine they’re almost made of glass. Their wings are often used for incredibly fine blades, for things like surgery and torture and murdering soft and tiny animals. Andrea's Parotia: A bird so rare, only one has ever been seen or recorded. It is three feet tall, and has brilliant red and pink plumage. Nothing else is known. Firemites: a type of termite that can breathe fire. Dartwing Moth: A type of moth with brilliant colors and emanate a poison as it flies.

Disclaimer: I'm not continuing this story. Check out Azarinth Healer, it's a more current story where I worked on a lot of things I found wrong with this one. Main character is somewhat similar as well so if you like Eleonora, you'll probably like Ilea. I still invested a ton of time writing this so check it out if you feel like it. There's gonna be 20 Chapters 39k words total. Hey everyone. This is a story I've started writing like a year ago and thought why not post it now. This story is about fighting and magic in a pretty standard fantasy world. The story follows Eleonora through her daily life in Duneswatch and on her way to become an adventurer. No secrets here, it's pretty generic. Should be decently paced so just give it a shot if you want to. I'm not gonna sell it to you in this quick summary. The range of writing on RR is so wide we both know you just have to give it a chapter...or a paragraph depending on how unique the grammar is. Please do criticize harshly. I'm definitely no writer but everybody can improve with pointers in the right direction. Don't expect regular updates.

Sent to a world where Gods battle their hearts out for surpemacy. Will he emerge victorious, becoming God by force, will he fall before them in disgrace, or will he choose his own destiny. ----- 3500-4000 words per chapter. Don't worry about it making sense. If it doesn't when you expected one, then I am sorry. Awkward plot, forgive me. I had a really late start. Terribly sorry for those seeking a really great story, character, and plot. I made this to let my imagination run wild, no matter how irritating it might get, but I'll still accept criticism, it'll serve as a good teacher for the future. It's just something to make in my free time, that and the contest itself. Hope you still enjoy it though! :) Credits to Deadheadz for the great cover art! :)
