Description Only a few creatures call the hilly arctic tundra of the far north home. The most common of them is the Sled Kin (Calluventra lapso), which dig under the snow and ice to feed on the sparse mossy plantlife that is hidden beneath. When threatened, they hurry toward the slope of their current hill and slide on their bellies down to a burrow that they have painstakingly chiseled out of the frozen ground. The environment's primary predator is the Arctic Yort (Cryoformis ballucauda), which grows much larger than its southerly cousins (big enough to be mistaken for a Cohors). Here a mother Yort is close to catching a meal for herself and her two young. When resting, they curl into a tight ball with their head tucked between their very fluffy tails for warmth. Stilt Sylphs (Cornubrevi urusai) are migratory residents of the region, flying south over Nerrivik's largest mountain range when winter sets in.
