- ABOUT THE AUTHOR
- Also by Amanda Foody
Considered among the most powerful of healing Beasts; for years Scholars believed they held the secret to everlasting life. This may be a myth, but they remain a prized companion for any Lore Keeper who often faces danger. Make sure to plan accordingly, though—their Lore will knock you straight to sleep!
DRAGON
Wilderland: the Mountains
Class: varies
A collective term for Beasts of a mixture of reptilian and avian natures, who vary in size, power, and type of Lore.
FIRENEKKIE
Wilderland: the Sea
Class: Trite
These phytoplankton cover the seafloor, providing light to all the Wilderland’s underwater plants and creatures. In the late Summer, they become so numerous that some of the Sea’s waves glow a vibrant blue.
FWISHT
Wilderland: the Sea
Class: Familiar
Capable of carrying objects twice their size, these pelican-like Beasts make excellent postal birds. And their healing Lore might not work on humans, but it does just the trick for a Beast’s minor scrapes or bruises.
GLUPPYFISH
Wilderland: The Sea, the Jungle, the Mountains
Class: Trite
These tiny colorful fish make beautiful additions to home aquariums. They develop their rainbow scales from the foods they eat, and so Gluppyfish from various Wilderlands often look different from one another, as their diets vary with each environment.
GRAVALDOR
Wilderland: the Woods
Class: Legendary
Resembling a massive bear, the Legendary Beast of the Woods slumbers for most of the year, and some Keepers credit hearing a low rumbling in the forest that could be his snores. When awakened, he has been known to destroy entire towns, especially when feeling threatened.
GRUIGNAD
Wilderland: the Sea, the Mountains, the Desert
Class: Trite
These sea lice live within tangles of algae, but their favorite home is human hair. To rid yourself of them, Siggykelp water makes for a useful shampoo, but a mayonnaise mask will substitute in a pinch!
HADDISSS
Wilderland: the Desert, the Mountains, the Jungle
Class: Mythic
Being only skeleton, these serpentine Beasts have no brain, no stomach, and no insides at all. They don’t seem to eat or age, and much about their lives remains a mystery. Though I’m positive I heard one burp once.
HOOKSHARK
Wilderland: the Sea
Class: Prime
The heads of these sharks resemble large hooks, which they use with their sand Lore to dig bottom-dwelling fish out from the seafloor. Beware—they are known to indulge in humans as well.
JAWBASK
Wilderland: the Sea
Class: Prime
These sharks suck up small Beasts and animals from the ocean floor like vacuums.
KARKADANN
Wilderland: the Desert, the Jungle
Class: Prime
A large, hairless horse with an ivory horn and the attitude of a wolverine. I desperately wished for one as a child only to later learn they are nothing like ponies.
LEPINFISH
Wilderland: the Sea
Class: Familiar
The bane of all sailors, these “flying fish” jump so high that they can leap onto even the mightiest of ships.
LOCHMORDRA
Wilderland: the Sea
Class: Legendary
