LOHNG-shoo

An extremely large species of tortoise native to Nezhu’s desert coast and the surrounding oceans. Longshu Tortoises are known to be particularly aggressive and territorial when they come to land to breed, using their retractable necks to deliver powerful, poisonous bites to anyone foolish enough to approach their nests. The defensive, territorial nature of the Longshu Tortoise led early Nezhuan Emperors to adopt them as the symbol of the imperial house.


Nezhuan Dragon

A species of dragon found in the deep waters off the coast of Nezhu. In addition to their armored, turtle-shell-esque carapace, Nezhuan Dragon’s are most known for their distinctive fire production systems. The Nezhuan Dragon’s flames are capable of repelling water, allowing them to release geyser’s of flame below the water’s surface. They will use these flames to rapidly boil an intense stream of water that stuns their prey, but when released too close to the surface it will shoot geysers of fire out from the water.


Phujeng Bird

FOO-jehng

The Wajukara Phujeng, found in northeastern Nezhu, has a glistening coat of feathers in various shades of white, while the Pan Rin Phujeng has bright, multicolored feathers. While their large talons are sufficient to defend themselves against the Pan Rin’s fiercest predators, Phujeng are usually docile towards humans, owing to generations of contact with the Pan Chui tribes and their Namapha mages.
