Amstaadian Flora and Fauna

[Thok]

Krynoch

A form of living crystal that subsists on mostly inorganic material (dirt, rocks, stones, occasionally metal ore and bone). Typically fairly small and sluglike in shape and movement. Reproduce asexually; when they reach a typical size, they split in two. Size and color depend on food sources; wild Krynoch generlly have dull coloring with blotches appearing on them. There has been some attempts to breed Krynoch domestically.

Hooper

Looks like a turtle with a small circle of dense, barbed tissue protruding from between the base of its neck and the shell. At will, it can bend its head down and shoot the hoop to snare a creature (no larger than a big rat). Although the creatures themselves are mostly harmless, they are quite capable of disarming agressors. With difficulty, they can be trained.

Giant Iridis

Comes in a variety of colors but can be primarily found in purple and pink,
Wild flower rarely seen in the mountains, extremely difficult to find and even more difficult to grow for an industry, extremely valuable as its roots can be crushed into a powder that has powerful hallucenogenic effects. Often used by mountain shamans in religious rituals and unscrupulous characters as a method of exchange. Recent government crackdown on the distribution of Iridis powder has caused the street price to move from its already high levels to one that makes the underground drug trade extremely lucrative.
