Bestiary

A descriptive or anecdotal treatise on various kinds of animals and beasts in Chronicles of Primordial Wars

Stone Worm
A large worm the length of a foot and the thickness of an adult’s thumb. They looked like earthworms, yet much larger in size. The larger a stone worm grows, the deeper it would bury itself underground, so there were only small ones left amongst the surface. Stone worms tasted rather bad and many people would suffer from severe diarrhea after eating them, so no one from the tribe would keep stone worms on their menu. A worm cut into two parts could still heal its wound and grow into a complete one after some period of time. Stone worms were much quicker than earthworms, one would only return empty handed if they could not catch them immediately upon seeing them.

Black Swamp Worm
A soft to touch worm and was as big as a person's palm with a flat oval shape. It had many thin and long feet, and it was as black as the swamp. Shao Xuan discovered that the worm spread out large quantities of black bubbles from its mouth and the bubbles covered the worm as a whole. The black bubbles will gather and finally make as large as a football with the worm in its center. The black sphere was pretty light in weight, and it required some strength to crush. The black sphere-half floated on the surface of the water and could be used for fishing.

Piranha Fish
It had a giant mouth filled with numerous tiny sharp teeth. The fish was born to bite and kill since it possessed a mouthful of teeth in such a scale.

Night Swallow
It was a swallow-like bird. It was quick when flying and only came out at night. It’s a meat-eating creature. They were far more ferocious than bats and they were also highly gregarious, so they lived and moved in swarms. That was also the reason why few people in the tribe would go out at night without a torch. They may easily get attacked by Night Swallows. Normally a Night Swallow’s voice could not be heard, but it’s told in the tribe that powerful warriors could hear its cry. It was said to be cacophony but it was only a tale told by people, and most of them haven’t heard it in person.

Thorn Black Wind
A Thorn Black Wind had two layers of skin, one was the hard scales, and the other was very tough thick leather.

Fearsome Wolf
