Beasts

Rank 2

Sharquda

A fish native to the waters off the western edge of Vicisi, Sharquda have long and powerful bodies that are thickest just before the dorsal fin. They also sport a set of large, powerful jaws filled with needle-like teeth and a shark-like tail that propels them at great speeds in open water. Sharquda are commonly found at the edges of reefs searching for food, but tend to stick to the open ocean most of the time. They tend to eat prey smaller than themselves, including other Sharquda. It is not known how large they can grow, but some sailors have claimed to see sharqudas that match or exceed the size of some small whales, but these are widely regarded to be tall fish tales.

Rank 4

Brittlebone Spider

Large, pale spiders with milky-white eyes and stiff spines covering their bodies.

Nogg

Creatures unique to the Divided lands, these generally solitary beasts dominate large swathes of land with seemingly unnatural strength, which scholars have rumored to be due to some sort of demonic heritage.

Rank 5

Nogg, Grand

The giant creature positively dwarfs the rest of its kind. A lone sentinel standing over its herd, the Grand Nogg has surpassed several decades in age, despite the difficulty of surviving in the Divided Lands, and the color of its amazingly tough hide has faded to white with age and exposure to the elements. Its enormous facial horn, chipped and broken multiple times. It now resembles a jagged spike rather than the bifurcated scoop of its younger kin.
