Flora and fauna

Fauna

• TBD: Small reptiles with large wings and tails capable of sustained flight. Wiped out the avian population in many parts of Vespia in competition for food and protection of the environment. Typically docile and kept as pets by the wealthy. Spit caustic acid from glans in the back of the throat while hunting, though sometimes used by pet owners to punish other pets or slaves that fail to obey them. Reptile is about the size of a small cat, but with wings larger than most pigeons.
• TBD: Large mammal about the size of a small car capable of outrunning most men. Extremely predatory and hunts in alone. Somewhat intelligent and capable of making decisions in a very limited capacity, less than a dolphin or dog. Sets up traps in the rocky portions of the desert or in canyons, and lives in caves far from populated areas, but close enough to capture large prey.
• TBD: TBD

The Zhona is regarded as the national river of Vespia, which owes the formation and very survival of its 15,000-year old civilization to the existence of the river.
