Ok, here's a list of creatures (with brief descriptions) to be found in the world of Xul:
Aerial jellyfish
A strange sort of jellyfish with gas-filled gelatinous bodies, floating in air. Their umbrella-like bodies are semi-transparent, ranging in colours from blue and green to pink and purple. They usually live in small shoals, using their poisonous tentacles to paralyze their prey in order to suck nutrition. Quite easily killed, but fighting them is hazardous since they explode as they die.
Ape-man
Highly developed primates, reminiscent of large man-apes. Some ape-men are as intelligent as humans, living in organized societies, fully capable of using tools, constructing buildings etc. Others are much more primitive, living in primitive tribes with a technological level reminiscent of the stone age.
Arachnoid
Anthropomorphic humanoids with arachnoid features, semi-intelligent and sporting two pair of legs and two pair of arms. Roughly the size of humans, they usually live in forest regions. Formidable beasts of prey, very fast and agile, with poisonous bites.
Battle cat
A large panther, with its soft fur so dark purple it almost appears black. Usually found in jungles, sometimes trained by warriors to be used as riding animals.
Blood thorns
A thorny bush with some sort of rudimentary intelligence and mobility. It snares its victims with long thorny branches, and the thorns are then used to suck blood.
Crystal serpent
Strange serpents living in polar areas. Their large bodies are covered in crystaline scales.
Desert crab
Monstrous crabs of huge proportions, living in lakes at desert oasis
Desert elephant
Large elephantine creatures with thick, sand-coloured skin and double set of tusks. They are to be found in desert regions, sometimes used by nomadic tribes.
Dinosaurs
Several types of dinosaurs roam this world - tyrannosaurus, stegosaurus, triceratops, pterosaurs, ankylosaurus, raptors and many more.
Dreameater
Astral beings, feeding off the dreams of sleeping people.
Droid
Mechanic creations from some forgotten highly developed culture. Sometimes found as guards in ancient ruins.
Dwarf elephant
Elephantine creatures, strong but small - roughly the size of a pony.
Felinian
Felinians are anthropomorphic humanoids reminiscent of large cats. Their eyes are greenish yellow, and the colour of their fur varies, from sand-coloured to pitch black, sometimes striped or spotted. Felinians usually are to be found in the wilderness, where they make excellent hunters, trackers and scouts. Sometimes they team up with other felinians or even humans, but usually they are loners. They are strong-willed individuals, fast and very agile.
Ghoul
The ghouls are the result of some strange curse or disease, possibly induced by magic. If bitten by a ghoul, the victims turn into ghouls themselves. Their bodies appear to be slightly deformed, just as their minds. The skin is pale, almost grey, and the nails turn into blackened claws and the teeth turns sharp. All ghouls are scavengers, feeding off dead humans and animals alike. They shun sunlight, and are usually found in ruins nearby human settlements.
Giant amoeba
The giant amoeba is a mindless gelatinous mass, devouring every living creature coming in its way.
Giant centipede
Very aggressive and carnivorous creatures, usually found in jungles.
Giant crocodile
Almost three times the size of a normal crocodile, these monstrous beasts are sometimes found in swamps and jungle rivers.
Giant insects
Many insects, such as hornets, dragonflies and grasshoppers, are to be found in giant versions. Some of them are even big enough to be ridden by humans.
Giant octopus
Thankfully, the giant octopus is quite rare. They reside in the deep oceans of Xul, sometimes in the ruins of sunken cities or shipwrecks. Fully grown specimen have reportedly been able to sink ships, making them a fearsome creature of legend for sailors.
Giant serpent
Just like giant crocodiles, giant serpents can sometimes be found in swamps and jungles.
Insectoid
Anthropomorphic humanoids with insectoid features. Some are highly developed while others are semi-intelligent, and they differ in colour, size and appearance. They live in hierarchical societies, and are to be found both in deserts and forests.
Mammoth
A massive elephantine creature, covered in dark wooly fur and sporting huge tusks. They live in polar regions.
Megalodon
The megalodon is a fierce, giant version of the shark, found in deep oceans around the world.
Mutant
Radiation and magic experiments sometimes causes mutations, affecting both body and mind. Mutants are often shunned and feared by humans, thus forcing them to live in secluded areas. Certain mutants might be unique beings, in other cases whole tribes might share the same characteristics.
Ophidian
The ophidians are anthropomorphic creatures surrounded by myths and rumours. Their upper bodies are reminiscent of humans, but with fangs and forked tongues, while the lower bodies are that of giant serpents. They are highly intelligent, usually found in ruins in swamps and jungles.
Reptilian
Anthropomorphic humanoids of reptilian origin. They are primitive, usually living in swamps and jungles (but some tribes also live in desert regions) as hunters and collectors. Reptilians differ in appearance - some are reminiscent of humanoid lizards, others crocodiles or turtles. Some species might even be feathered.
Sabre-toothed tiger
A very large feline predator with exceptionally large fangs. They are usually found in jungles or mountainous regions.
Sandworm
Gigantic worm-like creatures digging through the sands of desert regions.
Snow ape
Large carnivorous apes with thick white fur, living in polar regions.
Snow spider
The snow spiders are to be found in arctic regions. They are all white, apart from the burning red eyes. Given the fact that they are roughly half the size of an adult human, they are indeed very dangerous as they are highly aggressive as well as venomous.
Strangling vines
A semi-intelligent plant, using its vines to strangle the victims and feed on their flesh and blood.
Swamp cat
The swamp cat is a feline creature, reminiscent of a large lynx, living in swamps. Known for their green fur, they are also sometimes trained by hunters.
Swamp elephant
These green-skinned elephantine creatures are herbivores, living in large swamp regions.
Tree leech
The tree leech is about a foot long, with a slimy, striped body in greyish brown and green. They live in groups, usually around 10-30 creatures, up in the trees of steaming jungles, from where they drop down on unaware by passers to feed off their blood.
Tree of death
An intelligent tree with psionic abilities, using its branches as tentacles to capture and kill its victims before devouring them. This allows the tree to replicate the victims in pods, using them as servants to protect the tree and provide more victims.
Undead mummy
Mummies are the creation of dark necromancy, often used to guard large tombs of ancient lords and magicians.
Undead skeleton
Necromancers are known to use reanimated skeletons as guards, warriors and servants as they are mindlessly obedient and strike fear into the hearts of the living.
