Shuriman Wildlife Overview

The diverse wildlife of Shurima includes several notable species adapted to desert life:

Brackern Ancient crystalline creatures native to the Shuriman desert, living in scattered clans across the continent.

Dormun Massive creatures with chitinous plates that can sense hidden water reservoirs. Some nomadic tribes build homes on their backs, maintaining a symbiotic relationship.

Eka'Sul Desert goats that travel in herds.

Mwatis Goat-like creatures with distinctive plated head casques. Their wool and plates are valued for insulation and felting.

Sandswimmers Large quadrupedal creatures that swim through sand using webbed feet and narrow bodies. They follow predictable migration patterns and feed on small desert creatures.

Skallashi Large quadrupedal herbivores with long legs, well-adapted to desert conditions. Though ill-tempered, they're valued as sacred beasts of burden. Their hides are often decorated with protective symbols and their horns adorned with charms.

Desert Threats

• Kmiros: Giant scarab swarms that prey on travelers
• Xer'Sai: Void creatures varying in size from small to massive that burrow beneath the sand
• Other "Outerbeasts": Additional void-born creatures that inhabit the desert regions

The wildlife helps create Shurima's unique ecosystem while posing both opportunities and dangers for its inhabitants. Many species serve practical purposes for local populations, from transportation to resources, while others represent significant threats to survival in this harsh environment.
