Star-noses are massive, eyeless, subterranean predators that hunt the depths of the earth for other burrowing creatures. Occasionally their prey includes the beasts and humanoids that dwell in caverns or along the surface of their hunting grounds. Using the hyper-sensitive tendrils that extend from its snout, the star-nose can detect the subtlest tremors and seismic waves in the soil around them. Mysteriously, this organ can also sense the pre...

The hulking karkadann is a mythical creature born of the earth. When a spanse of desert, grassland, or steppe has been marred by war, plundered of its natural resources, or tainted by a curse, a karkadann might appear to rid the land of evil (and everything else as well). Extremely territorial and belligerent, karkadann refuse to share their habitat with any creature large enough to attract attention.
