Bestiary
Both Chirra and Apos start out as a "Puff". They are about the size of a cat, and have muscle mass to them, but they are litterally a ball of fluff with a tail. The fluff does not eat, or drink, or make any sort of sound. While they can move in an odd slinky-type movement, or hop, or even roll, their speed at doing so varies. They are fully intelligent in this stage.
In child stage, the Apos develope a distinctly canine appearance. The wings become its most striking feature, multi faceted and beautiful. Most Apos demonstrate the qualities of a wise old sage. They are often quiet, thoughtful, and prone to naps!
While the Chirra also start out as a "Puff", their development is on a much more bipedal path. As a child they begin to take on more distinctly humanoid appearance. Once fully grown, they are about the size of a small child, and as innocent as one. Their mental acuities are, however; fully adult. Save for a rather unfortunate and racoon-like fixation on "shinies", they are very non-demanding and gentle creatures.
The Stagg are a rather interesting breed. The child is neither masculine nor feminine at first, being born of no gender. The "default" gender is female. If the Stagg wants to become a male, it must undergo a rite of initiation. After which time, it has the sanction of the Stagg leader to eat of the tree of Halps. The Bark engenders a chemical reaction leading to the developement into masculinity.
If a young Stagg takes the bark without sanction, he is cast out from the herd forever. Once disavowed, the young male will spend most of the remainder of his days wandering to rue his fate.
Owls are often paired with ancient knowledge and wisdom. While the elder owls often are deserving of such praise, the younger owls are not quite so learned. Flighty and some might say callow, the young fledglings can often be their own worst enemy...
Rare sitings
he species of which the Trickster originates. Satyrs are sometimes referred to as "Pucks" as well. While they are varied in temperment, most all share the same love of play and mischief as their leader.
You would have to be a stranger indeed to lore not to recognize this beast. Pure and noble, the Unicorn are often found in male/female pairs. A Unicorn mates for life, and if their mate dies...the remaining partner soon follows.
Hunted for their alicorn, these creature sought the help of the trickster to survive. He has granted them their plea and they are under his direct protection.
Besides the Trickster himself, the Daeva are the most mysterious of the Wood's known inhabitants. They are solitary creatures, mating for life to their one true intended. Mystical and austere, these creatures bring great blessings...but not without a price.
To befriend a Daeva is the greatest of boons. But it is not an easy task at all to do so.
The Daeva are known in other cultures by different names. The most known identitiy of a Daeva is the title "Luck Dragon"
