The creatures of Brakaam were all normal animals (and Dragons) until Humans arrived (See History of Brakaam). Deer, elk, ducks, those animals. But when the humans came through the portals, they unknowingly brought with them the fiercest creatures of their doomed planet. Below is a list of them and what they are. (Note: These are not all of the animals on Brakaam; more species are still being found.)
Phoenixes
Golden-A beautiful golden firebird whose flames are cool to touch to friends, but to enemies, burns like a thousand suns. The Golden Phoenix is ridden by some Mages.
Black-Almost identical to the Golden Phoenix, but black. Another distinctive feature of the Black Phoenix is that it has very small, razor sharp thorns on its wings, making it impossible to ride. The Black Phoenix is very evil.
Griffons
Golden Brown-The coloring of this Griffon is much like that of lion. The Griffon has a mane, like a lion. The eagle wings have a wingspan of 15 feet across. The Golden Brown Griffon is ridden by Warriors into battle.
Stony Gray-When standing still, this Griffon looks like a statue. These Griffons, like the Black Phoenix, have thorns on its wings, to sorely disappoint any riders. In addition to the thorns, the Stony Gray Griffon has retractable claws.
Miscellaneous
Werebats-Man by day, vicious bat creature by night. The werebat is extremely rare, and due to the Mage's action against these creatures, almost no one is attacked or bitten by one these days.
Sea Serpents-20 feet long on average, the Sea Serpents usually leave humans alone, if unprovoked. They swim in warm water most of the time, and once they find an underwater cave to make their home, they rarely leave the vicinity.
Giant Scorpions-Just what it says, a giant scorpion. But instead of having two large pinser-like claws, it has four, and two barbs on its tail, making it a very deadly opponent. Usually found in the desert, these creatures are very aggressive.
