[The Unreliable Narrator]

River Elk - Buck & Doe
Type: Monster
Environment: Any vibrant but untamed river or other water source
Threat: Buck - Dangerous to Approach | Doe - Difficult to Capture
Features: The elk's body appears to be made of flowing clear water, but it's stomach and neck often contain aquatic flora or fauna from the area. The horns of the buck are large and imposing and appear to be made of compressed river rock. Their legs are oddly thin, though they are often obscured by the water the creature resides in. In spite of this River Elk are still capable of powerful kicks and bounding leaps.

"It was if someone had just taken a section of the river and simply poured it into a mold." - Druid & Hunter Harroc Crownegrove

Avoat
Type: Beast
Environment: Slyscera Mountains mid to upper heights.
Threat: carnivorous, so any fleshy creature is in danger.
Features: winged creature with the head of a mountain goat and body of predatory bird. Has strong talons to dig into mountainside. A horned head for ramming larger prey. Thick cold resistant feathers cover it's body. Usually very agressive and favor surprise attacks.

"If you seek the heights beware, for the Avoat hunts you as well."-Torin, a clanless dwarf
