Beasts of the Wild (Milky Way Wild Animals)

There are many creatures...

Noibroods (Native to Gliese 581c)

Noibroods are wicked predators who hunt small vermin underground due to their allergy to sun radiation. They are elongated metameric animals with several pair of legs. Noidbroods have rounded heads, bearing a pair of elongated mandibles from the oral cavity. They have a pair of limbs stretched forward from the body to cover the remainder of the mouth. These limbs, or maxilipeds, end in sharp claws and include venom glands that help the animal to kill or paralyze prey. They reproduce at high rates, nearly a hundred per litter, and are very territorial of their dens, attacking anything that comes within the nesting area. This viciousness has given the Noibrood the nickname, “Fiend-Crawlers”.

Dune Goliath (Natives of Agricon)

Dune Goliath are massive behemoths nearly 24 meters tall (4 stories). They are primal beasts who have hardened outer skin that imitates stone, and a vibration sense that allows them to detect movement from underground. Otherwise, Dune Goliath’s are mostly blind (like bats), with blurry, unfocusable vision. Dune Goliath’s hide in their sand dens, waiting for herds of cattle, etc. to meander in their area, where they spring up and attack. They usually travel in solitude unless courting a mate or if they have offspring. They hate cold, which forces most towns to arm their gates with Freon-pressure guns in order to ward off the beasts.

Menoetiusans (Natives of Ophion)

Menoetiusans are a rare type of creature located on Ophion. It is unknown how the organism evolved, as very few specimens have been harvested for research. It is a very deadly species due it part that it starts off as mere bacteria, but once they infect an individual, quickly take over, tearing apart their host in order to grow. This process can take anywhere from days to mere hours.

At first, victims may not be aware of the change, but soon their body falls into terrible convulsions. Many surgeons and medical staff often mistaken this for strokes or seizures. Soon, new limbs, appendages, and sensory organs sprout from the victim's body, until the Menoetiusan has all but taken over. Usually, the host dies by  this time, but some unfortunate souls remain alive and in terrible agony as the Menoetiusan takes control of their nervous, digestive, and muscular systems.

Once fully grown, Menoetiusans must constantly eat, as their rapidly splitting cells are in need of new energy. Menoetiusans are believed to be omnivores, with strong preferences towards living flesh. They are constantly on the hunt, and will go to great lengths in order to devour anything around them. While Menoetiusans are not true pack animals, they refuse to attack one another for unknown reasons. Scientists hypothesize it is because they can smell the Menoetisan infection in each host. They will work with one another in order to hunt larger prey. Any live game must be eaten quickly before their infectious bite spreads further Menoetiusan bacteria and causes the kill to transform. They regenerate at alarmingly quick lengths, and can be decimated into pieces before reforming in order to kill again.

Macenateans, a.k.a. "Ghouls"

Macenateans (Ma-sent-E-uns), better known as Ghouls, are a race of feral humanoids native to Hekate. They're carnivorous mammals with powerful olfactory buds in their nostrils and heat sensors on their serpent-like tongues. They have massive claws and elongated limbs, which allow them to climb on Hekate's rocky terrain with ease. Their usual prey are Yelims, a large herding animal, though they will eat almost anything.

Unlike most predators, Macenteans, work very well together. They have basic reasoning skills comparable to Earth primates. Ghouls travel in prides of ten to fifteen, but have been found in larger groups as big as forty or fifty. Males and females are equally sized, though females tend to have longer claws to defend their young. Macenteans are opportunistic hunters, and will follow their game, living near them in order to constantly be near food. They lack nervous systems which helps them brave Hekate's cold and ignore effects from wounds, as they need to ignore pain when attacking larger, more powerful prey.

Trigliodons

Trigliodons are massive plant eating creatures native to Nomos (Hades System). They are quick to temper and very protective of their young. They range in color from red to violet which is painted on their thick hides. They have long necks for eating off trees and vicious tails with natural spikes protruding from the tip. They are four legged, but can stand on two to reach high vegetation.

Adults are herbivores and subsist entirely on grass, leaves, and roots. During mating season, breeding cows stand watch over their nests of three to six eggs while young or eggless females try to gather food for the pride. Hatchlings learn what plants to eat and what beasts to avoid from their mothers. Cows are dangerous only when they feel their young are threatened, which happens whenever anything Human-sized or larger walks into sight on two legs. In the absence of a bull, a pride’s cows rally to the defense of the young. For this reason, young are generally lost to predators only during the long migrations between hatching grounds and grazing territories, when the herds must keep moving to beat the winter snows or return to their lush grazing plains after the relatively lean mating season.

Tarrasques

A tarrasque is a massive subteranean creature that lives on the planet of Naxos. This scaled colossus has a gigantic protective shell along its back, and a spiked tail that can destroy prey in a single swipe. Tarrasque spend most of their time dormant, sleeping in deep underground lairs. They are omnivours, devouring any plant or meat alike, turning the upper surfaces around them into barren wastelands. Unlike the majority of mammoth sized wild animals, Tarrasques are not peaceful. They must eat hundreds of tons of nourishment per week which has lead them to become very aggressive. Tarrasques can eat nearly any material, including stone, metal, and wood (taking the nutrients out of it). When hunting, a tarrasque attacks with its tail, claws, spiked tail, and massive 130 ton body. It can swallow its victims whole, though it prefers to shred them to pieces with its serated teeth first. Tarrasques have no known allergies or weaknesses, and are resiliant to most weapons, especially fire and lasers. They are very resourceful, and have used their huge lungs to blow birds or climbing mammals out of trees, as to devour them. They are solitary creatures, only meeting with other tarrasques to mate or dispute territory.

Fiend Sharks

Fiend sharks are a deadly species that live on the deep ocean planet of Atlantis VII. They are not sharks at all, but rather Grammatostomias flagellibarba (deep sea fish). The creatures use their thermographic vision and internal sonar to find prey. Once they've cornered their mark, Fiend Sharks use their evolved arms to grab at potential food, then bite into it with their razor like teeth. Fiend sharks are very territorial, and immediately attack anything in their den area. They have a strong dislike for loud noises and often attack mechanical equipment or underwater vehicles.

DEATH EEL

Death Eels are massive sea creatures that live on the ocean planet of Atlantis VII. They are long, armored, worm-like creatures who often build their homes in hollowed ocean rocks and craters. Ocean Worms are opportunity hunters, waiting for scouring ocean floor animals to peek into their treacherous homes, where they swallow them whole. Female Death Eels tend to capture prey within their gullet, keeping them alive so that she may feed them to her young. These creatures are sometimes hunted for their hearts, which are made of a strong, leathery material used to make fashionable clothing.

Blubber Dogs

Blubber Dogs are native Hades 13  mammals who are easily recognized by their prominent  bulkiness. Adult males can weigh more than 1,700 kg (3,700 lb) while females tend to be half that size . They once lived mostly in shallow waters within the underground rivers, feeding off of mollusks and fish. However, since the recent expansion of the five cities, Blubber Dogs have begun to come to the surface, scrounging for garbage and small prey. It is sparsely covered with fur and appears bald. Its skin is highly wrinkled and thick, up to 10 cm (3.9 in) around the neck and shoulders. The blubber layer beneath is up to 15 cm (5.9 in) thick and acts as a protective armor. The blubber Dog has an air sac under its throat which acts like a floatation bubble and allows it to bob vertically in the water and sleep. Blubber Dogs have legs and arms with fins along the sides that help them swim when they need to, and crawl on land when food is sparse. They are extremely aggressive, especially when their young are being threatened or when threats are on their hunting territory.

Phaya Beasts of Burden

Phaya 2 and 3’s tropical climates and moisture make them a perfect place for plant and animal life. The abundance of food has created a sub-Jurassic atmosphere for Naga to live in. Along with the snakoids, an amassment of wildlife breeds, both natural and introduced, have made the habitat their home, including enormous breeds of dinosaurs, birds, and other natural animals. These gigantic creatures have been acclimated into Naga culture as beasts of labor, instruments of war, and transpiration. Besides the introduced dinosaurs, below is a list of the most popular large breed animals who have been adapted into Phaya society. Each has there own unique characteristics that make them useful to everyday living on Phaya.

Gauthrogs (Gaw-th-RoGz)

The Gauthrog is a member of the Suidae family and a native to Phaya. They are identifiable by the two pairs of tusks protruding from the mouth and curving upwards. The lower pair, which is far shorter than the upper pair, becomes razor sharp by rubbing against the upper pair every time the mouth is opened and closed. The upper canine teeth are of a squashed circle shape in cross section, almost rectangular. They are used for digging, combat with other Gauthrogs, and in defense against predators – the lower set can inflict severe wounds. Their heads are very large, with a mane down the spine to the middle of the back. Sparse hair and loose scales covers the body. Its color is usually red which becomes more vibrant during mating season. Tails are long and end with a tuft of hair.

In Phaya culture, the Gauthrogs are used both as mounts and hunting animals. There strong backs make them ideal for hauling heavy loads and their enhanced snouts make them perfect for trailing game. Gauthrogs are typically used by rangers, tradesmen and construction teams. Due to the Gauthrog’s inability to see in the dark, they are rarely taken out at night. Those who are tend to be mounted with light sources. Because of their large litters and capacity to eat nearly anything, Gauthrogs are very cheap on Phaya,  and a very common animal behind the dinosaur.

Capital Cost
Untrained: 1000
Trained: 2500
Master-Breed w/ Training: 5000 (additional +1 to all skills)

Special Equipment for Gauthrogs
Trunk Saddle (3000 capital) Because of the Gauthrogs strong back, a special saddle has been made that can carry a variety of different equipment pieces along the creature's sides and posterior. The saddle allows a user to carry more than basics, from items up to ten feet long, to a total weight of 1000 pounds.

**********************************************************************************************
Whirneros (Were-Ner-Ra-SS)

The Whirneros is the largest of the non dinosaur land mammals on Phaya. It has a massive body and large head, a short neck and broad chest. On the left and right sides of its forehead, the Whirneros has two horn-like growths. These are made of solidkeratin. It also has a noticeable hump on the back of its neck. Each of the four feet has three toes. The color of the body ranges from yellowish brown to slate grey. Its only hair is the ear fringes and tail bristles. Whirneros have a distinctive broad mouth which is used for grazing. Its wing like ears can move independently to pick up sounds from miles away. The audio passages which are responsible for hearing are larger than their entire brain of the Whirneros itself, and used to keep the herbivore safe.

Whirneros are heavily armored and dangerous when charging. They are lazy creatures and not typically used for long journeys, but make for great battle mounts or construction beasts due to their colossal strength. Their ability to hear the slightest details make them great scout creatures. Whirneros tend to prefer open grasslands, where they can live on their own for years. Their hides are resistant to most types of weather, though they tend to overheat in the sun if not given proper amounts of daily water.

Capital Cost
Untrained: 5000
Trained: 20,000
Master-Breed w/ Training: 30,000 (can remove "Lazy" negative quality)

Special Equipment for Whineros
"Battle-Saddle" (7000 capital) The Whineros are heavily armored, but their rider often is not. The "Battle-Saddle" allows the rider to take full cover behind a cylindrical shell (target can not be directly attacked, and only takes damage if the damage exceeds the armor value of the saddle). The user is protected by +2D of steel. The cylinder is covered in four micro-cameras that allow the passenger to have a 360 view (blind to what is above however). Fans inside keep the user cool enough to not overheat, though the interior is not made for extreme comfort.

Marrowkins (M-air-owe-kin-z)

Marrowkins are a large breed that live on Phaya. They are believed to be a mix of both dinosaur and feline, though research has not unveiled how this procreation process could have taken place (some rumor that it is one of many Prometheus experiments). The Marrowkin’s most distinctive feature is their large skull. When full grown, the head can reach almost a third of the length of the entire animal. It bears  a single horn on the snout, above its thin, bottle-like nose which is used for grabbing at fish and small mammals. Skin impressions from the specimen is covered in bristle-like structures, with fur covering the feet and tail. The bushy extremity that makes the tail is used for balance and to grab the attention of its mate.

Marrowkin are extremely formidable because it has both the distinct prominent features of both lineages. It can run at high speeds, take down prey nearly twice the size of it and has natural weapons all along its body. These armaments include its horn, gator like mouth, and vicious front paws. They are nocturnal and can see in the dark, though they work just as well in daylight. Because of their wily, nearly untamable temperament, the Marrowkin is very difficult to train, and gives the most trouble even after domestication. Many users die each year due to Marrowkin straying which can sometimes be a deterrent from purchasing one. They are great swimmers and tend to hunt near the boggy swamps of Phaya, as they can wade in waters for hours before tiring.

Capital Cost
Untrained: 3000
Trained: 15,000
Master-Breed w/ Training: This creature is impossible to train as a Master-Breed

Special Equipment for Marrowkins
Shock-Shoulders (2000 capital): These shoulder pieces go on the front of the creature and are directed towards specific nerves. Once per day, if the user fails their ride check for a specific command, they may activate the shock-shoulders to reroll their command to the stubborn Marrowkins. This new roll, no matter the result, is kept instead of the original. Anyone who critically fails their "reroll", is looked at as an enemy to the Marrowkin for 1D6 rounds, and attempts to dismount and eat their riders will be made by the Marrowkin.

Epoich (E-Pa-Sh)

Epoich are a remarkable breed of creature with a distinct look and unique abilities. Epoich are extremely thin predators, usually colored white or grey, with rigid boney legs that have distinct gaping holes. The toes of the Epoich have a special adaptation that allows them to adhere to most surfaces without the use of liquids or surface tension. It also has a special secretion gland that allows them to absorb and excrete liquid to allow for maximum adherence to surfaces. Epoich are omnivores who eat both native plants that are poisonous to most breeds, as well as small mammals. They have adapted eyes that allow them to see from great distances, as well as heat within their environment. They eat vermin and plants, and avoid combat.

Epoich can only be used by light riders (Ullitors or heavily equipped species will cause the creature to collapse). Their specialized cells, chromatophores, contain pigments in their cytoplasm, that allows them to change color to match their environment. Dispersion of the pigment granules in the chromatophores sets the intensity of each color. When the pigment is equally distributed in a chromatophore, the whole cell is intensively colored, but changes because the cells get a message from the brain. This ability can be trained to be turned on and off with signals from the rider, allowing for a specialized tool that many hunters use to sneak up on prey. Epoich must remain in the warm environments of Phaya due to their warm blood and become ill quickly if taken into temperatures below tropical climates.

Capital Cost
Untrained: 10,000

Special Equipment for Epoich
Camouflage Reflectors (4000 capital): These side wings can cover the rider by activating it with an action. Upon use, a bio-plastic covers the rider. This covering is connected to the creature's flesh through medical trodes, and mimics the Epoich's camouflage, giving the rider the same bonus as the creature so long as it is using it's ability.

Quellings (Ka-well-ing-z)

Quellings are a natural breed of Phaya animals closely related to birds. They are long legged with both fur and feathers that cover their flesh. They do not have a beak, but two large incisors which it uses to catch sea life that hides within the muddy sands of the shore. Quellings have amazing vision which allows them to zoom in on prey. This eye site does not work at night, as the creature is unable to see in darkness. The animal can no longer fly, but is one of the quickest native species within Phaya. Some Quellings have been recorded to run as fast as 80 mph, though these top speeds can not be held for long. Quellings are typically used as messenger vehicles, as they have fast feet and are easy to manage. Quelings are usually trained just after they hatch and can be fully coached by year one. They are naturally flighty animals, and do not engage in combat unless absolutely cornered.

Soitogs (Sew-Ta-Gss)

Soitogs are rare creatures that have been reported on several different planets. No one is sure who exported hese animals from their native globe, or why, but the beasts have since grown accustomed to life in other environments. Their massive claws, bulky physiques and thick exoskeletons tend to be their most prominent features. They are very territorial and very violent to anyone who gets in their way, be they other animals or intelligent life.

Most people seem to think that Soitogs are unthinking brutes. This is not the case. They can communicate with one another through body language and often create traps, using collapsable tunnels to catch their prey. That being said, they care not for subtlety, creating much destruction wherever they go and can often be found dominated by slavers for use as dumb muscle. Soitogs can be found on over thirty three different planets, but are yet to be found in Earth's atmosphere.

Sky Eels


Sky Eels are native creatures to Santa Muerte, a minor planet within the Phaya System. These adaptable creatures can both live within the black muck of Santa Muerte’s waters or the gray skies above. Sky Eels spent most of their times in the cold swamps of Santa Muerte, but due to their adaptions, can fly using strong gases and a specialized organ in order to swim through the skies. While most sky eels do so to hunt, they also use their flight in order to mate and hide young.

Sky Eels hunt mostly in schools, consisting of anywhere from twelve to fifty eels at a time. Their ability to use their chameleon like camouflage helps sky eels swim through waters or air until they are within striking distance from prey, in which they devour in a feeding frenzy. Many victims only have mere seconds before they are completely ripped apart, making the few Terrans who live on Sante Muerte fear them and hunt them aggressively. Unfortunately, due to their large reproductive numbers, Sky Eels are still abundant in Santa Muerte, making them the apex predator on the black planet.

Razor Makaira


Razor Makaira are large four legged beasts on the planet of Santa Muerte who can both live in the sea and on land. The creatures make their homes in the muddy black slog of Santa Muerte’s moors, attacking unsuspecting pray by hiding within the black waters. Razor Makaira are given their name for their sharp beaks that help then pierce pray with deadly accuracy. The tips of their facial lances are so deadly that they can pierce many types of armors. Razor Makaira are the only known hunters of sky eels, though their battle for territory has often left both injured or maimed.
