* Dragon - Unlike the more intelligent dragons more commonly seen in TZ, this particular subspecies is a dull stone grey with none of the intellect and prowess of their more powerful cousins, retaining elemental breath and raw brute strength. Unique to this sub species is their incredible levels of rage, they can ignore blows that would leave any other living organism dead - including severe damage to the brain. It is in fact believed they possess multiple brain like organs that have allowed the species to continue fighting long after the primary brain's death. One of the highest threat level monsters.
* Deathstalker - An armored scorpion with elemental resistance, these behemoths were created in the Shapeshifter - Elemental wars, their poison can kill with a single blow. Their eyes are incredible sensitive.
* Bogbeast - A large tentacled beast that stalks the East Flora's deep swamps. No one has ever seen the full scale of one, much less the source of the beast's limbs - and lived.
* Werelight - A tiny spiritual entity that remembers anything its energy comes across, being magic, spells, plants, or people. A common choice for a familiar for magic users.
* Lanverine - A savage beast that climbs the sheer vertical cliffs of the Central Valleys. They listen for vibrations or loud noises to find prey. They possess four spiked legs that they impale into the ground. They are capable of movements of such speed they can overtake a humanoid traveling at the speed of sound in brief bursts. They are vulnerable only in the flesh of the inside of their mouth.
