  • Winged-Horse with its tail composed of feathers and mane of hair

Exiguums

  • Exigums have a genetic code that prevents them from growing beyond their newborn size. They still mature just like a normal elephant, but remain small for their whole life.

    Pictured to the left is sweet Ella. She loves playing with butterflies.

  • Exiguums have special colors. Mainly purple and blue, but sometimes grey, but a new rare species has been spotted in Len Nove: white. Exiguums are fuzzy instead of the rough elephant skin. Their eye colors vary from green and blue, but the white apparently have yellow.

  • Exiguums face the mutilation of their tinted tusks. Purple exiguums will have either a light pink or orange tusk while the blue exiguums will have either a light yellow or purple tusk. Certain kingdoms breed these tiny creatures just to take their tusks, then are used as food for the large creatures of the arena animal fights. Queen Sealyn plans to put an end to this madness.

Needlebob

  • Most needlebob’s are a shimmering gold color, but those found in Stoltland have black tips. Needlebob’s love thick forests and spend their days under ferns’ shade, hunting beetles.

  • Needlebobs may look cute, but beware—their needles contain powerful hallucinogenic poison! Once a needle pierces its victims skin, the poison takes 30 secs to release its affect. Hallucinations can last for hours and in some worst cases, days.

  • Needlebobs prefer to roll from one place to the next instead of walk. Their needles tuck and form to its body allowing it to form a shell for easy rolling. *Careful, that’s one ball you don’t want to kick— just ask Lord Sakul!
