Mountain Boar: Bred for use as a pack animal and riding beast by the Khazak, the mountain boar has the same stats as a warthog, but is larger and more docile.  They are usually three feet tall at the shoulder, can grow to a length of almost five feet, and can weigh as much as 250 pounds.  Mountain boards are usually gray, white, or dappled white and black.  They are sure-footed, trustworthy as an average housedog, and are kept in the same esteem by the dwarves as Barind or Taors keep their horses.

Reikh'irud: A large type of spider native to the various deserts of the east, the reikh'irud (the name is Kulra'ami for "hidden assassin") hunts by burrowing into the sand and leaping out at its prey from surprise.  They are very aggressive, and will leap to attack and kill anything that wanders by its burrow, even those creatures that are too large for it to kill (the spider has been known to strike at passing humans, cattle, jackals, birds, and just about anything else).  It has rusty-brown "fur", thick legs, and large red fangs that are quite easily visible.  The reikh'irud ususally measures between three to five inches across, though an individual eight inches across was once captured and kept as a "pet" by the Prince of Chadish'nar.  The bite of the reikh'irud, while excruciatingly painful, is almost always non-fatal.

Sandbird: The sandbird is 35 centimeters in length. It is a rounded short-legged bird that has a yellowish brown color to the body, mainly found throughout the Kolamar Desert and Burning Plain. Sandbirds spend much of their time on the ground. When there is danger they will flatten out and not move using camouflage to hide. If that does not work, sandbirds will take to the air and fly quickly away.

Skyrunner: Skyrunners appear to be large thin squirrels with broad, flat heads and long fur. They can be tamed and are sometimes found as pets or as the familiar of a wizard or sorcerer. Unlike squirrels, they are cursorial hunters, eating not only plant matter but also insects, worms, grubs, and the like. They are non-aggressive, and flee quickly when threatened. Skyrunners live in small groups, but hunt and forage individually as do squirrels. They live most of their lives at the top of trees, but can be found in lower branches and sometimes on the ground. Skyrunners live in distinctive nests. These nests are hollow spheres with a single entrance which are skillfully woven together by the skyrunners out of natural materials (twigs, leaves, bark, and grass).

Sunburst Treespider:  This species is named both for its color (a brilliant golden-yellow) and its native habitat:  the thick jungle canopy.  One of the largest types of natural spiders (as opposed to the monstrous giant spiders), individuals can measure up to 2 feet across.  It is a quick, agile jumping spider that hunts birds, small mammals, reptiles, and even other sunbursts.  They are not overly aggressive to creatures that it cannot safely hunt, and is not known for attacking humans who do not molest it.  The bite of a sunburst is painful and venomous.  A person who is bitten will die, slowly and in great pain, over the course of three days.

Tavern Hummingbird: The tavern hummingbird is similar in nearly every way to other hummingbirds, and are just as fast and colorful as their wild cousins.  Rather than subsist on the nectar of flowers, tavern hummingbirds live on alcohol.  Nearly every tavern and in in the Heartlands and the central EasterSea Coast contains at least one family of hummingbirds.  They are generally tolerated as attractive nuisances as they flit about, trying to steal nips of this or that drink.  Occasionally, you find these small birds as familiars to wizards.

Treewolf: The treewolf is a small predator that, as you might expect, spends most of its life hunting in the canopy of trees. It is a fur-covered mammal resembling a tailless racoon, with mottled brown and black fur, bright eyes and a bushy tail. It is about three foot long from nose to tail and weighs 15 pounds. Tree wolves have a distinctive bark which is a short, sharp "hoot" sound.  Treewolves are able to move through tree branches very quickly and with astounding stealth. They use this to their advantage when hunting high in the trees.

Like squirrels, treewolves feel safest in the trees. When on the ground, they are vulnerable and jittery. They are always on the lookout for hawks and eagles which sometimes make a meal of them. Treewolves will run from a fight if they feel outmatched, and will also run from fire or loud noises.  Normally, tree wolves pose no threat to people.

Tree wolves hunt anything in the trees that are smaller than them (squirrels, rodents, spiders, birds, insects, grubs) and supplement this with berries and bird's eggs. The tree wolf is a marsupial mammal and raises its young in a stomach pouch. A female will typically have a litter of 2-4 cubs once every five years.

T'shrandi: The t'shrandi is an herbivorous repile that greatly resembles a miniature triceratops.  It is used as a pack animal by the tribesmen within the Emerald Forest and in the lands surrounding that great jungle.  T'shrandi are also used as meat animals.

T'shrandi stand five feet at the shoulder, and can carry comparable loads as a draft horse.  Its horns are mostly for decoration, though they can be used as weapons in the rare event that this timid beast actually stands and fights.  They are easily domesticated, and loyal to their owners.
