References are made to Yranian Leapers, who either were or rode some sort of leaping creature.
If the Loper People of Genertela indeed were originally descended from the Veldangs of Pamaltela (implied in some old, unpublished writings), Lopers might also be found in Pamaltela. Not that I want to get into a debate over what Lopers are, mind you.
Really bad RQ1/2 stats exist for a number of creatures, the best of which (only the Watchwere, I think) were used in Pamaltela Book. And they probably aren't even close, I didn't look. Most of these creatures have really dumb names, IMO, such as Ib-spol-ata and things like that. There is a very large bird with two monkey tails, and similar things we can probably safely ignore.
Dinosaurs are fairly common in the western end. We know for a fact that Rhinos and Lions are found on the plains, and Tales supposes zebras in one of the Notes from Notchet's. There were horses at one point, but I doubt any survive today. I support the idea of Giraffes, Antelopes, and sundry other African herd creatures. Jackals and/or hyenae are also likely.
Camels seem to close to earth for my liking; though they would be somewhat appropriate in Fonrit, I would prefer something else. No llamas either, IMO.
>From Simon's list -- DOMESTICATED where?
Guinea Pigs are not one I would have come up with, but all of the others seem OK. Probably lots more he missed, too.
