Miscellaneous Creatures

Chamelizard

A 5 foot long reptilian creature. It has the ability to completely blend in with its surroundings, making it invisible. It can easily be identified through various tricks by making the ground muddy or splashing it with paint. Its corpse glows when it is killed.

Flander's Poppies

An interdimensional species of poppy with decaying human flesh for roots. Sprouts and grows at an accelerated rate. An unknown memetic or psychic effect by the poppies causes giddiness and a loss of judgment. Animals of any kind standing in a field will soon have poppies growing on themselves. The roots of these poppies are burrowed underneath the flesh, making them extremely painful to remove. Blood loss and tissue damage generally follow. Following complete coverage by poppies, the victim will collapse into a deep sleep and become buried. Only known sample currently in Foundation custody.

Cave Trolls

Large, humanoid, grey numskulls wielding clubs. Can be completely pool generated or changed humans. Extremely brutish.

Red Pillbugs

Bled lava solidifies into igneous rock, where it may hatch later into a number of subspecies.

Steam Worm

A 1 foot long lava worm with small arms. Appear in massive (500+) amounts and feed on artificial structures and flesh. Extremely lethargic, but their large numbers make them a hazard.

Cowmels are a valuable resource to sapient creatures of the desert, functioning as a means of transportation as well as a source of food. This is exceptionally true with Camelvanners, who often use them as a means of transporting goods between tribes.
