Animals

Brigni

Brignis are Fire tiny four legged animals, covered of brown fur. They live in groups of dozens to hundreds, socially structured. Their fur is highly flammable, forcing them to avoid fighting against each other. This enforced their already well developed instinct of conservation: they tend to run away first, and only fight back when they have no other choice. That flammable fur particularity urged them to build strong social links between each other, and even if they look a bit dumb one by one, they actually are smart enough when they are in group.

Origin

From the latin brunus, "brown", and ignis, "fire".

Chamilois

About the size of a deer, the Chamilois are agile herbivore, wide spread in high mountains and cliff like the Tjars mountains. Jumpy, they can hop from rock to rock, leaping for about three times its size. It's hard to approach them because they are easily scared, but they cannot resist watching and getting closer to the other animals they see, including the dragons. This means it's hard for you to approach them, but if you stay at the same place for few hours, they'll show up and approach you.

Origin

Unknown. The name is invariable.
