BESTIARY

Although the place hosts pretty much any animal that you'd regularly find in an urban, or wild area (according to climate), there are some creatures that are particular to the City itself.

You're welcome to have your character run into any of the wildlife listed in the comments, or to add to their numbers by filling in the form below:

CRAWLERS | UNDERGROUND berryfloss January 25 2011, 17:34:55 UTC
[creature name]: Crawler
[environment]: in caves closer to the upper levels of the underground.
[aspect]: significantly smaller than the average bat, the Crawler's body is largely membranous, with wings more suited to gliding, than flight. The Crawler's claws, unlike its teeth, run disproportionately long, and very sharp.
[behaviour]: carnivorous to a fault, Crawlers have a fondness for living things, trying to dig themselves a home into other creatures' skulls by defiling their eye sockets, and eating their way through. They will generally lurk in the skull area until it's been cleaned of meat and other nutrients. Because of the decreasing number of available victims, Crawlers have begun to capitalize on the resources of a single body, and they have been known to also make nests in the lung and groin areas.
[other notes]: because of their interest in preserving a food source fresh as long as possible, Crawlers secrete a number of substances that have been known to steer bodies from discomposure even weeks past their normal deadlines

[creature name]: Uber Vampire
[environment]: Underground, abandoned buildings, grave yards, anywhere at night.
[aspect]: He's pretty
[behaviour]: Full on beast. All it thinks about is killing, ripping and drinking blood. Fairly one track minded. Very aggressive. They're not terribly bright creatures.
[other notes]: These vampires are fairly durable, very strong, very quick. They turn to ash when they're killed. They can be killed with a wooden stake through the heart, beheading, fire and sunlight.

Just to clarify for the community at large: instead of ash, can it turn into sparkles? :(

I would approve so much of this yes.

MAYBE there's a Sparklepire Uber Vamp AND a regular one so you never know what you're going to get! It's like a vamp in a crackerjack box

The City Administration welcomes its temporary new sparkly light sources. And the other dudes.

THE ORDER OF SQUEAK rehymenator November 8 2011, 14:58:31 UTC
[creature name]: The Order of Squeak
[environment]: Oh, they're everywhere...
[aspect]: These aren't so much creatures -- though they can be! They can be human, angel, or slimy green demon so long as they worship the ground Mouse walks on.
[behaviour]: Depends on how the person behaves within any secret society. They may be passionate about recruiting or more interested in quiet worship. Do not cross them (or Her), though. If she is defied, or mocked? The Order can become quite violent; and very persuasive. Bag over your head brought back to meeting headquarters and brainwashed persuasive.
[other notes]: Meetings at the Order of Squeak generally involve Mickey Mouse-type ears, lots of cheese and you might possibly have to beat a maze to get into the headquarters. Look, it's-- there's a theme, okay.

DREGS | UNDERGROUND rehymenator November 8 2011, 22:34:07 UTC
[creature name]: Dreg
[environment]: Underground but if it gets restless, be careful when you sit on the toilet!
[aspect]: Well, like a 5-foot-tall humanoid pile of shit, of course. Appearance varies based on what the City as a whole has been eating a lot of. Spinach? They turn green. Corn? They get lumpy. Cheese? Generally cranky and stubborn. Very smelly.
[behaviour]: They guard the only bridge over river of shit below the City, and can shoot piles of steaming feces at their enemies. Ouch.
[other notes]: Their only weakness? Toilet paper, of course.
