Fauna

Kalon is home to a variety of common animals, as well as a variety of magical creatures.

Common Animals

 * Horse - A common mount for travelers and a loyal companion animal.
 * Scorpion - Native to the deserts of Kalon. Surprisingly larger than anyone would expect. Their venom proves deadly and will cause flesh to rot if stung. An antidote exists, but is rare.

Hellhound
Hellhounds are canine creatures native to both the desert and barren regions of Kalon. They usually do not scale any higher than a regular pet dog and their skinny, bony body often tends to give the impression that they may be on the brink of starvation. Hellhounds are greedy scavengers, acting out patterns similar to hyenas. Despite their body shape, they will feast several times a day, on anything they can find, from small critters to larger isolated creatures. Hellhounds often hunt in packs, but have been reported to have been seen roaming as loners as well. The pelt and selective features of a hound differs between regions. While they are usually seen in black and brown tones in the desert, their fur can come in gray, black, and even red tones in barren lands.

Hellhounds are naturally connected to fire, making them capable of generating volcanic mass inside their chest and throat, which are used as projectiles against enemies. However, these attacks are limited to three at a time and need to regenerate after using up all charges. Besides their fire affinity, they feature razor sharp claws and teeth, which make them excellent pack hunters and dangerous predators.

Despite their dangerous nature, Hellhounds are considered excellent pets by desert warriors and are known to melt even the strongest man's heart. While raising puppies, their huts often tend to catch fire, as newborn puppies are lacking control over their fire glands.

Sasserwash
The sasserwash is an urban legend rumored to roam the forests near Ulmery. No one who has seen it lived to tell the tale, at least according to storytellers. It is supposedly a fierce and merciless creatures, which hunts its prey at night. Some say it may also just be a feisty squirrel.
