Larger Animals of Ralinius

Albens

Due to the spontaneous tidal effects, Albens have evolved flat bodies. This allows them to easily move through shallow water, and also to lie in the shallow tide pools they can often become stranded in. The large “flippers” that make up each side of the Albens can also be used to cross narrow strips of land. The mouth is located on the bottom of the creature for easy feeding from the flat and rocky seabed.
 

 

Nasat

Nasats are a snake approximately four or five feet long. Along the Nasat’s back are three sets of wing-like flippers. These delicate wings can be neatly folded along the creature’s back while it moves across land. Underwater, it uses them for steering and propulsion in addition to the length of its body. Nasats eat mostly small fish and crustaceans, but have been known to gather with other Nasats and attack larger animals such as the Albens.
 

 

Delopus

Delopi are large birds, approximately seven feet in wingspan. They are white underneath, and brown on top. This allows them to blend in with the sky during flight and with the land while grounded. They have light bodies, such that they can glide for long periods of time if waters engulf too much of the land. They can also float on the water for a long time. Delopi could spend nearly their entire life on the water if not for breeding. Delopi give birth to live young, as eggs would be too much at risk when the tides shifted. 

Vorus-wyrms

Vorus-wyrms are large, elongated fish, similar to eels. Vorus-wyrms measure up to twelve feet in length. They lie waiting in the depths for the receding tide to send fish running back into the deeper sea. They attacks these schools, sucking in dozens of smaller fish through its huge jaws. Though a fearsome predator for small creatures, the Vorus-wyrm’s jaw muscles are weak and its teeth are dull. Despite its size, it is no match for some of the larger sea creatures.
