Hawkbat
[Picture]
Species Name: Accipitridae Chiropterae
Method of Movement: Flying
Size range: With a body close to a meter in size on average with a wingspan five times as long, closer to five meters.
Daily activity cycle: Nocturnal
Favored climate: Temperate - Tundra
Favored terrain: Caves
Range of Activity: Fishing Wastes/New Continent to the North
Diet: Omnivore, primarily bugs and small game
Physical Description: The hawk bat is a newly discovered species by the Lightning Empire expeditionary forces during the war, native to the far northern continent. It is a large beaked flying animal with purplish-grey leathery skin. It's body almost forms a triangle, and it has a large beak. Akin to a featherless bird more than a bat, it lacks feathers in all places but its head. Its feet are taloned but its hind legs are quite short. Similar to a bat, its wings have hooks at the end that are somewhat prehensile like a hand.
Distinct traits: The Hawkbat has echolocation and thermal vision making it an extremely potent hunter at night. It's razor-sharp talons and beaks are deadly weapons, though hawk bats tend to be secluded and rarely hunt big game, preferring smaller, easily won battles. It is said the skin of a hawkbast has mystical properties though no one has proven this yet.

Onsen Monkey
Species Name: Mammilia Teramae
Method of Movement: Bi-Pedal/Quadrupedal Hybrid
Size range: Between half a meter to three-quarters of a meter

Physical Description: The Onsen Monkey is a small breed of monkeys native to the mountains of Lightning Country and Snow country. With bright red faces and posteriors and light white fur they are distinctive creatures with human-like mannerisms. Their arms are longer than their legs and can be used for running, or as powerful weapons whilst standing on their legs.
Distinct traits: The Onsen Monkey has one of the highest cold tolerances among all mammals, capable of surviving up to below 35 degrees celsius on their own. What makes them very distinct though is their love of hot springs and their very lazy attitudes, preferring to lie around rather than be too active. Onsen Monkeys are considered novel companions as their intelligence allows them to be trained easier than other animals.

Distinct traits: The Wooly Snake is accustomed to surviving cold, dark environments. Similar to vipers it has heat-pits that give it sensory even in the dark, in addition to an excellent sense of smell through it's tongue. The Wooly Snake is not poisonous and is a constrictor, however it is not to be taken lightly as it's wool and hide are quite thinking making it a challenge to hurt the snake once it is wrapped around you!

Trunked Boar

Favored climate: Temperate - Tundra
Favored terrain: Forests
Range of Activity: Northern part of the Continent (Rock Country to Fire Country to Southern Lightning Country)
Diet: Omnivore (Insects & Plants)
Physical Description: The trunked board is a massive pig-like creature with dark black fur. It's fur is thick and often mangey. What makes it different from other boars however is it's tusks tend to be far longer, and rather than a snout, it has a long trunk similar to that of an elephant. A massive and ferocious creature, the trunked boar looks heavy in all aspects of it's gait and appearance.
Distinct traits: Trunked Boars have a legendary temper and will go on rampages if provoked. Their size and power along with their tusks and ability to constrict things using their trunk make them very dangerous to humans who get in their way and bother them, even if they only eat bugs and plants. The general rule in the areas where they are found is stay out of their way.

In recent years the population has diminished due to the underground sales of their tusks and pelts.
Threat: A
