The strange and sinister mix with the pastoral in Galudon.

From dairy cows to the truly frightening Depth Lurker, Galudon plays hosts to a variety of animals. There is no one governing body that oversees animal welfare or management - most populations just opt for common sense paired with casual neighborhood violence if a pet gets out of hand. This is not an exhaustive list of animals found within Pannotia, simply a sampling of some of the most exotic a traveller might run across.

Fauna

Salyfas Bird

This large, colorful bird can be found deep within the forests of Galudon. Its call is often heard in the morning, so very calming and musical that famous singers are often called a “Gilded Salyfas.” Light green and golden hued, this bird has red lips and red tips of its wing feathers. They mate for life, and their eggs are often used in alchemical compounds having to do with procreation.


Tremblelegs Spider

This large arachnids are native to the dark caves of Galudon. Getting up to three feet high, their nests are often avoided except for the most intrepid of hunters. Black, with bluish green coloring on its legs, its venom is known as a toxin capable of completely paralyzing someone for multiple hours. These spiders feed by capturing someone in their web and slowly drinking their blood for days on end. Victims who have ended up surviving are notoriously quiet about this traumatic event, but return pale, shaken, and utterly unwilling to venture towards a cave again.


Depth Lurker

A water dwelling creature featuring black, highly mobile muscular hydrostats, or tentilla. The Depth Lurker is particularly keen on interacting with bipedal beings; most spottings of the creature are reported on coastal beaches or on the shores of lakes large enough to have natural waves. In Galudon, the Depth Lurker is famous for taking its victims from shorelines, only to deposit them back to the exact spots they were taken from days later.
