carrion_luggageNeech,
A common ground grub that scavenges and consumes the dead. It is likewise attracted to the smell of necrotic flesh and is very tenacious in reaching the source. Fully developed adults possess the ability to leap in order to access food and avoid danger. However, they do not always survive the landing.
Hrog,
A mostly hairless herbivore with alternating patches of mange and scales. Generally the size of a rabbit, the legs are overdeveloped for leaping across large distances. They are generally found in groups, so to discover one is usually to imply several more nearby. This is complimented by the fact that they make for good eating in quantity.
Thorn Stahg,
A larger, hoofed herbivore that resembles a prewar deer. These creatures share an unusual genetic structure with saplings, which are also thought to be a parasitic growth. The 'horns' of this creature tend to grow throughout its life and typically beyond. If left unscavenged, the skull and body will eventually be drawn into the trunk of the tree over the course of decades. Their hooves also bear a mutuation that splits the toes in three directions.
Pollinator,
These small insects begin their lifecycle within the Morninglory Hole's bulb in the springtime. Within a few hours of direct sunlight, their transparant grublike forms harden into a exoskeleton, thereby allowing the insect to metamorphose into a proper flying insect, carrying with it the pollen from its birthplant. In between flowers, they typically live under the dead grasses of the past year and eat the leftover decay.
