Abyss Worm: A one-meter wide land dwelling tube worm, and the gods alone know how long they are. Ambush predators, they disguise their lair by covering their heads with loose local debris, and piston out up to five hexes to snatch anything that passes overhead (birds, adventurers), and try to drag it down into its home.
Adamantoise: Giant tortoises ranging from the size of a Mini Cooper to that of a main battle tank. Vicious bite, nearly indestructible shell, tenacious, and omnivorous. Do not taste as good as duners.
Akateko: A Yamato region monster that looks like a blood-red child's hand the size of a cat, with a fanged maw in the palm. Ambush predators, they like to drop from trees on their victims.
Apkallu: A bright green with yellow highlights tropical penguin. Native to tropical regions, such as the Southern Isles, and coastal areas of the Uruk Mandarinate, the Hazad Caliphate, and the Empire of the Fang. Why docile on land, the entire flock will react to aggression, and like crows, have a good communal memory of who their enemies are. Make for good familiars for aquatic mages.
Axe-Beak: Also known as murder birds. These carnivorous relations of the chocobo are native to the Kring plains, and occupy the ecological niche of movie velociraptors. Flightless, with exceptionally vestigial wings, Axe-beaks possess powerful legs, razor-sharp talons, and a powerful jaw capable of neatly de-limbing an adult plainsman. Chicks can be raised as hunting beasts, but to date only casualties result in trying to saddle-break them.
