The Badlands were once known as fertile plains, especially among the inhabitants of the wood and surrounding areas. It slowly creeps forward encroaching on the green of the plants at its edges. Various dangers reside within its boundary oftentimes, slinking forward to take what they want.

A bleak place of sun and heat, the badlands has its kind of life that exists. Plants and animals both vie for water that is scarce. The heat tapers off as one stands on the peripheral of this tainted place. The exact nature of the denizens of this area is unclear as few venture out into the center of the Badlands without good reason. It's rumored that the parched bones of those who did lie buried in the sands.

Terrible changes happened when the plains fell to waste. Plants and living things had to adapt to survive. Some live beneath the sand and rocks tunneling down to avoid the sunlight preserving moisture. Others curl up in the sparse shade wherever they can find it, moving as it moves. Plants blossom during the night and darkest hours preserving what little water they find beneath the ground and their leaves have been replaced with spines to prevent waterloss as well as the attack of what would eat it.

If you were to take the most unusual and creepy thing and put a face to it...you would likely have a mudge. Named for their muddy and sludge like appearance, as well as for their mumbling attempt to talk...these creatures are not in anywise a companion for those that would like a warm and fuzzy pet.

Often found in packs, that is also when they are most dangerous. Their chorus of half burbled yips and bays are truly eerie. In the dark, their eyes are luminescent...and for some, that is the last thing that they see.

Mudges are omnivorous. Their jaws have the ability to unhinge, like a snakes... enabling a large maw that can swallow many things whole. Their digestive juices are a viscious thing, able to burn through rock.

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"
