Common Name Sabertooth SalmonSpeciesOncorhynchus GrexlamiaTimeMiocene – Mid PleistoceneDietCarnivoreTemperamentEvasive, Aggressive when attackedDomesticationTameableNoRideableNoWild: Fairly unremarkable by the Island’s standards, Oncorhynchus Grexlamia is a generally passive fish. Far smaller than a human, its main form of protection is swimming in a large school. Oncorhynchus does not like conflict, and generally swims away from anything larger than it at very high […]
Common NameLeedsichthysSpeciesLeedsichthys conviviumbrosiaTimeMid-JurassicDietPiscivoreTemperamentDefensiveDomesticationTameableNoWild: Leedsichthys conviviumbrosia is probably the largest fish in the waters around the island. Its meat is also extremely succulent, a surprise given its size. It is often traded with the same value as Prime Meat, and colloquially called ‘Prime Fish’. Of course, not all of Leedsichthys’ meat is this high quality, but most […]
Common Name:DiplocaulusSpecies:Diplocaulus NatatorianutrixTime:PermianDiet:PiscivorousTemperament:SkittishDomesticationTameable:YesRideable:NoCommand: Wild: Presiding almost solely within the island’s swamps, Diplocaulus Natatorinutrix is a small amphibian that primarily eats minor fish. It rounds out what I consider the middle-bottom of the ecosystem, feeding on the tinier non-insect creatures of the island while itself being a common snack for the larger carnivores.Domesticated: There are only a […]
Common Name:CnidariaSpecies:Cnidaria omnimorphTime:Cambrian – HoloceneDiet:CarnivoreTemperament:Passive, but aggressive at close rangeDomesticationTameable:NoRideable:NoWild: Cnidaria omnimorph is another example of a creature which should not exist. It has traits that seem to come from many types of jellyfish. It posses the size and shape of large egg-yolk jellies, the powerful sting of certain box jellies, and the bioluminescence of deep-sea […]
Common Name:AnglerSpecies:Melanocetus AnglerpescumTime:Early Cretaceous – HoloceneDiet:CarnivoreTemperament:Aggressive to small fry, otherwise skittish!DomesticationTameable:YesRideable:YesWild: Whether its size is caused by adaptation to the island’s other inhabitants, or by cross-breeding with another larger species, Melanocetus Anglerpescum is the largest form of Anglerfish I’ve ever heard of. Typically found only among the deepest, darkest expanses of the ocean, this creature preys […]
Common Name:MantaSpecies:Manta MobulaTime:Early Oligocene – HoloceneDiet:CarnivoreTemperament:DefensiveDomesticationTameable:YesRideable:YesSaddle:No Wild: Here is another example of a creature that seems to have evolved beyond its historical traits. Everything points to this being a saltwater ray, but Manta Mobula has developed the ability to swim into the island´s rivers and shallows, as well as through the open ocean. Perhaps there were originally […]
Common Name:KairukuSpecies:Kairuku WaitakiTime:Late PaleoceneDiet:PiscivorousTemperament:FriendlyDomesticationTameable:YesRideable:NoWild: Kairuku Waitaki is an amazingly docile and friendly creature, everything but fish. Honestly, I’m not quite sure how Kairuku manages to stay populated across the island’s colder climes, with the many predators stalking these frozen lands.Domesticated: There is no reason to tame Kairuku for combat, since they are useless in a fight. […]
Common Name:HesperornisSpecies:Hesperornis AvenatantesTime:Late CretaceousDiet:PiscivorousTemperament:FlippantDomesticationTameable:YesRideable:UnknownWild: Appearing as something of a half-duck-half-dinosaur, Hesperornis is a medium-sized fish-eating bird, common in the rivers and lakes os the island. It would be about two-thirds the height of a human, if it stood tall, but it rarely does. Hesperornis spends most of its time gliding along the surface of the water, […]
Common Name:BeelzebufoSpecies:Beelzebufo PalucocusTime:Late CretaceousDiet:CarnivoreTemperament:LanguorousDomesticationTameable:YesRideable:YesWild: Beelzebufo Palucocus is the largest frog I’ve ever seen. Almost impossibly large, it can actually fit a full grown human adult on its back, though just barely. This is a dangerous prospect, though, as secretions from Beelzebufo’s skin and saliva have a narcotic effect on most creatures.Domesticated: Tamed Beelzebufo make for strange […]

Approximately 30 feet long, Tusoteuthis is a terror of the deep. Once it grabs its prey, it slowly crushes it into submission while using the talons on its tentacles to siphon and drain the victim of blood!Known Information: Tusoteuthis is a terrifying opponent for several […]
