The corpse maid. The name comes from the old Ditovian practice of keeping these scavengers in a pool in the home for cleaning human corpses of flesh, a task so important the species is considered a sacred being or even a lesser god. Once all of the flesh has been consumed by these fish and only the pure skeleton remain the corpse maids are eaten in a ritualistic feast by the deceased's friends and family. However this practice, as well as keeping of corpse maids at all, is rare in modern times an only remaining among a few conservative noble houses.

B. Lady Green amulet. The Lady Green is an entity of the forest, a spirit or a lesser god you may encounter while traveling. She may help you find your way home or she makes sure you're never seen again, the amulet is to help you gain control of that fate. The Lady never shows her face to those she appears before, no matter how you turn she will always face away from you. The amulet however gives her a face of a precious stone in the color of the dark unknowable depths of the forest.

Lurking beneath the surface of murky swamps, pond-backed Salagators are bizarre ambush predators. Their elaborate spikes and nasal horns resemble the knees of cypress trees, and help them blend in to their overgrown environments. To protect their young, parents raise their tadpoles in shallow pools on their backs.

The porcupuffer is an adept swimmer with abundant defense to ward off potential predators. It inflates its body to protrude enormous quills, and fans out its tail for threatening smacks. On land however, it's less than graceful...

These active predators are the only thing nimble enough to take down a porcupuffer without getting stabbed. Fishersnakes use the tentacles on the ends of their faces to detect subtle disturbances underwater while swimming, and can unhinge their jaws to fit oversized prey into their mouths. Their fangs can fold neatly into the jaw independently of one another when the mouth is closed, and it remains unclear whether or not they contain any venom.
