To All

[a_better_man]

I have a query for the masses, if you'll take a moment or two and indulge me.

Tell me about animals from your world. Or your favorite of the animals from your world. Or the most interesting. I'm curious. Friends in the Horizon have shown me critters I've never even heard of before, and even been kind enough to create one or two for my domain. And I want more. I want a vast menagerie of amazing creatures.

I've got plenty of animals I know well - foxes, badgers, rabbits, sheep - and some I don't think exist outside of this world that I've seen in Thorne. But so many of all you fine and lovely people come from amazing and vastly different worlds and I would be honored by a contribution to my little project.

Of which there is to be more than just a showcase of odd animals, and I will share with all when it's finished. But for right now...

It's all about the animals.

Not certain how unusual those are, lots of people from lots of different places have mentioned them since I got here. Seem to be on lots of worlds. We haven't got big winged fire breathing lizards where I come from, though.

Nor do we have any gargantuan goats, at least as far as I know!

They're unusual enough in my world. They're not something that are seen all that often. Although I suppose that might not be quite true, as it's said that dragons, or some of them at least, can take other forms. Even humanoid.

[She says this now, little knowing that very soon there would be a whole conclave of dragons making themselves very, very known. And a dragon who regularly spent time in humanoid form.]

It's fascinating that so many worlds have some variation of dragons. I wonder what similarities they share.

[Something to think about.]

There's a surprising number of very large creatures in my world, it seems. Of varying levels of dangerous. Rocs are gargantuan birds of prey, something like eagles only much, much larger. Large enough to carry away a fully grown moorbounder.
