Description
Volcan Drelt:
The Volcan Drelt lives in the volcanic desert of Ka Jal. The pahoehoe lava flows are still red-hot underneath, so the Drelt never needs to bask in the morning sun. It’s primary diet consists of insects and carrion, and it defends itself from predators by racing across the hot rocks. If caught, it releases a foul smelling fluid from its mouth, writhes around as if dying before finally going completely limp and releasing more vile liquid from its eyes, nose and cloacal vent. This seems to convince potential predators that the lizard is both in an advanced stage of decay and toxic.

Fassu:
A tropical fish that has escaped transit and established itself in warm rivers, the fassu is not native to many of the rivers it is found in. These fish are territorial and very aggressive, and the solitary males will compete for the attention of a school of females. Once the females have spawned, at the base of reed clusters in rivers, and around the roots of waterweed, mooring ropes and jetty supports in their natural habitats, the male will fan oxygenated water over the eggs and defend them from predators.
Their red colouring is distinctive in lakes, where they are easy prey for herons and larger fish, but camouflages them perfectly in the redweed that is abundant in the docks and rock clusters that is their original habitat.

D’Croix Manare:
The main prey of the ‘Coin Fish’ is insects; water boatmen, pond skimmers and the like, although it is also possessed of the ability to spit a droplet of water with unerring accuracy at aerial insects. Like all Manare, D’Croix Manare are diurnal and bear live young. The fry are born fully formed, miniature versions of the mother and, within eight months, about half of the fry will become male.

Mud Lurker:
The Mud Lurker is not, as initial appearances would suggest, an eel, but is in fact, a fresh water shark. As its name suggests, it buries its elongated body in the mud at the bottom of a lake and waits for its prey to come along, before launching itself in a lightning fast strike, swallowing the hapless fish whole before returning to the mud. Within minutes, all signs of the attack are gone.
