## Regions of Yurkeni

**Trekaros**: Northmost and largest region of Yurkeni. A giant plains habitat, which is widely considered the most dangerous region of Yurkeni due to it's colossal sized environment.

**Goblish Forest**: A large forest in Yurkeni which is made up of Mammoth
Trees, which are 600-800 feet tall and 10-20 feet wide.

**West Mountains**: Hidden mountains on the west edge of the Goblish forest.

**TBD Sea**: Colossal sea beasts make these waters impossible to traverse.

## Beasts of Yurkeni

**Monkey Giants/Goblins**: 3-6 feet tall ape-like
creatures. They seem to be sentient as they have tribes, huts and chiefs. They
have a large hump on their back which is where their second head is. The second
head has no eyes, ears, nose or mouth, only a brain. They are generally only called Monkey Giants
by the scholars at Alpharome. Due to their extra head they have no neck. Other giants.

**Small goblin/Bogeymen**: Bogeymen are small
skinny creatures(1-2 feet tall) with dark grey fur and a lizard-like
physique(long torso). They seem to be the constant companions of the Goblins
but since Bogeymen don’t seem to speak scholars believe that they are the
Goblin’s pets. On one of their first nights in the Forest the Wayfarers were
awoken in the middle of the night by a dozen Bogeymen climbing all over them.
They killed the Bogeymen which triggered a war between them and a goblin tribe.
After killing the tribe the Wayfarers learned to scare away Bogeymen rather
than kill them to avoid any further conflict

**Wolf Giants/Werewolves**: 7-8 feet tall. Just
like Goblins they have a hunched back. Other giants.

**Avigale/Birdmen**: Rumors have been heard of seeing Birdmen in the mountains. According to scholars in Alpharome, the Birdmen are ancient travelers from South
of the Scorching Storm. The birdmen have their own language with chirping, but
learned the human language by (parrot talk)

**Blood Vultures**: 3-4 feet tall with a 8-9 feet
wide wingspan. They have a long thin beak needle like beak which extends 1.5-2
feet. They use these beaks to suck blood out of living creatures. They are able
to suck from corpses but they much prefer living things. Live in large nests at
high altitudes of the west mountains.

**Dumbats**: Headless bats that have a mouth in
place of their neck. Their teeth are too small to do anything other than suck
juice from fruits. Live in the Emergent/highest layer of the Goblish forest.

**Winghounds**: Husky-size dogs(6 limbs) with 10
feet wingspan. Paws have long fingers that can grip around branches. Live at
the edges of the Goblish Forest and hunt from the Emergent Layer.

**Snake Swarm/Swarmers**: 1-8 feet long. The swarm
of snakes that inhabit the ground floor of the Goblish forest. They have
paralysis venom that won’t work unless something is bit many dozen times.

**Cluch**: 4-5 feet tall sloths that are strong as
hell. During the Wayfar a man had a Cluch grab his arm as he was sleeping. The
nails of the Cluch pierced his skin. They could not get the creature to release
and cut off its arm. The hand still didn’t loose so they cut off the man’s arm
and he died.

**Strangleroot**: Roots that grow from trees in the
middle section of the Goblish Forest. These roots will grab and hold living
creatures, then they will release acids that slowly decompose the body.

**Tryfish**: Vary in size from a finger to 10 feet
long. As they grow, more fins will bud out of them and their old fins will
continue to grow to scale with their body. Their main and largest fins are at
almost the end of their body, leaving about ¼. The larger tryfish can stand on
these large fins. Mother landfish will carry their baby fish in their
mouth. Found in the riverlands east of the Shwelk.

**Ekumar**: Horses about twice as big as normal and
have near unlimited strength and stamina. Live in Trekaros. Are sentient and
able to talk/persuade other animals into their bidding.

### Colossal beings/Titans:

**Xenartha/Goblish Titan**: Giant 500 feet tall
cluches that live in the Goblish Forest. The most distinguished Goblin tribes
will live atop a Xenartha’s back. If someone or something hurts a xenartha, the
goblins will hunt it down. It takes a Xenartha 40-60 days just to complete a
step.

**Griffins**: 35-40 feet tall with a 90-100 feet
wingspan. They live in the west mountains of Yurkeni but hunt in the plains.

**Basilisk**: 200 feet long and 5 feet wide. It’s
jaws can extend 20 feet. Found in the Southernmost regions of the Odician Sea.

**Maldrak/Earth Dragon**: 60-80 feet tall beast.

grey and they have large long tusks. They can also breath fire from their
trunks. They can be found in the Trekaros.

**Ursevulk/Mortal Guardians**: 100 feet tall bear
with a wolf head. Protect humans from other titans. Will sometimes sit and
