#colossal forest

Raptor as in bird of prey, not dinosaurs. 

Wingspan of...15-20 feet? Didn’t get a good look. Hunts around rock faces. Probably got a nest somewhere at the top of cliffs.

Like a hundred feet long, 2.5 feet wide, makes 6-inch grove in the ground as it slithers. Jet black scale, makes tremors as it passes. Can’t miss it.

Subspecies of the Rraru. These people are iffy at naming things.

The “ring” doesn’t mean it’s tiny or anything. It’s huge: long and lithe, but not as thick as its pack-hunting, ground-dwelling cousins. The Laring prefers dexterous jumps over tree tops and are solo hunters, active at multiple times a day. Pounces mid-range from tree-to-tree on powerful hindlegs.

Climbing claws. Teethy. Tail isn’t as long as the Rraru.

Swarms of ‘em sitting in muck of still waters and sticks on you and drinks blood...as leeches do. They hate dryness and needs moisture, and I suppose the similarity ends there.

Unlike leeches, these little bastards comes with a mouth on both the anterior and posterior sides. Not sure where the posterior one leads.

Speculation (by me) goes that since the area is fulled of tonne-plus megafaunas, the leeches gets a feast whenever one comes by. If they had an anterior mouth for feeding, the posterior mouth could lead to a separate blood sac that it could regurgitate for its young(s).

Steer clear of abnormally uniform, fresh grass. The singular tree on these grounds are carnivorous.
