Ridden beasts

A camel with barding.

A Etiwcem with armour plating on it.

A warhorse with metal barding

Slower and less agile than a horse but more aggressive. Horses are afraid of camels. Camels also have much higher stamina than horses and are ideal for desert fighting.

These are 3 or 4m long insectoid creatures with some oddly draconian aspects, particularly in the head and along the vertebrae. They have small claws too that look like they belong on a drake instead of an insect. The eyes look like slightly larger drake eyes but still compound like an insect and their backs have a definite spiky ridge all the way to the tail. These features are even more pronounced in the Warriors and Queens.

The Etiwcem is about twice the height of a human and 4 metres long. It resembles a bear in colour and texture but the fur is much longer. It has 8 legs on each side and can shuffle along slowly. They are strong but not fast nor tough. Etiwcem are found all over the world. Typically only a small herd will be captured in one area. 6 humans can fit atop a single Etiwcem.

Grak beetles are like massive water bugs. They congregate along the shores of the Indrin isle, conveniently within the territories of the kliktaren. The creatures look much like blue-shelled wide-bodied beetles possessing six-legs. At the ends of the legs are webbed claws that they use to propel themselves through the water and they can dive under as well. They have compound eyes that enable them to see underwater as well as out of water. They have grinding mandibles they use to consume small fish and seaweed as well as plants and cacti. Grak beetles can breathe underwater.

A fast but common horse. What more do you need to know?

Not battle-worthy like a horse but provide a faster march speed

They are essentially a flying pony. Pegasai are very frail and cannot carry much more weight than a human, they are docile and exist over most of the world. It is possible to catch small herds of Pegasai in one area.

They are akin to giant ducks but without the wings and weak bone structure. With giant webbed feet the Vizzig make fighting in a swamp possible. They can support the weight of people with armour but wearing such a thing in a swamp is a bad idea, if you fall off the Vizzig you will surely die. Vizzig are found in swamps and on the banks of rivers all around the world. They eat mainly grass and make poor fighters. It is easy to catch entire herds of Vizzig in one area.

Larger than a common horse but larger and strong.
