Torala
These huge creatures are found along the rivers and coastlines of the Northern Empire, their thick blubbery hides protecting them from the cold. They spend most of their time gently floating along in the water, or lounging on the banks. The largest kopa dominate their colonies, vocally and violently protecting their position from any that might intrude. The oldest Torala carry scars from many territorial battles and display them with pride.
Diet: Riverweed
The massive torala are often seen wallowing along the rivers close to the Naralon forests and there are large colonies that have found homes off the Enguan coast. They are normally quite happy to ignore fubarnii, but if riled up can be truly terrifying beasts. There are numerous stories of boats and barges lost when unwary captains have failed to spot them in the water.
This large, semi-aquatic herbivore possesses two very strong arms. It can hold its breath underwater for long periods. It has small eyes and poor vision. Its tusks are used both for foraging and for defence. Most at ease in water, it is slow moving on land but even then remains dangerous.
