Flora and Fauna (Narah-Gar)

This page will serve as a bestiary detailing the plants and animals that can be found in the marshy country of Narah-Gar.

Evening Star:

An uncommon but indigenous flower that grows only in the caves and dens of the marshland can be found here. This deep purple flower, known as Evening Star, can release clouds of noxious gasses into the air when startled, the gas invokes a twelve hour period of paralysis on its victims which allows the poison to take effect. When the paralysis wears off, the victims will be met with partial to total loss of vision (caused by swelling of the eyes), dizziness, fever, vomiting, and in some cases death within the following 12 hours. If you survive the initial intoxication, the toxin will quickly spread throughout your body, eating away at muscle tissue as it goes and causing you to break out in a rash of green growths on your skin. When it reaches the brain, in most cases, infected individuals will take on heavy brain damage, causing insanity in all but one known cases. The only known survivor of the of the Evening Star toxin who didn’t go stark raving mad was Keffnir (Ruler of the Eastern Marshlands), who suffered from all other symptoms for three days and lost most central back muscles, permanently hunching his back and causing him mild primary dementia.

Brine Creeper:

Brine creepers are a common sight, fishing for Seka Toads (their main food source) on the banks of the many lakes in Narah-Gar. Even though they have a height of around 4 feet and are carnivorous, they are of no threat to humans unless they are nesting, at which time they are very protective of their territory and will attach anything that enters it. Though they have no eyes, they can still see using their tongues to smell the world around them. Though not very strong, they make up for it with stamina and speed, as they can run much like and at the speed of an earth ostrich.

Gut Snake:

Though not actually a snake, “Gut Snakes” were given their unusual name for their snake-like bodies and exposed second stomach. They are hostile creatures that live in solitude and kill threats and prey alike using their ability to summon up and shoot out a blob of acid from their acid stomach. Grey-green in color so as to blend in with the plant life around them, they slither in silence and are skilled hunters. Their “Head” consists of one massive eye and socket used for more than just vision; the eye could be considered an artistic masterpiece as it consists of rotating circles and fiery reds, yellows, and oranges and has an extremely hypnotizing effect.
