Ah yes, but the mythical landscape of DP is pretty much the one found in european mythology. My (rather scandinavian) Sartarites would regard a rattlesnake as something obviously chaotic and strange.
It just seems wrong having New World critters in DP. Prax, I grudginly admit obviously has american influenses (though I could just call the bison vicents and be done with it). I still like to think of the Praxian nomads as early arabs, not native americans.
The native americans of my game are the grazers... or rather, they are the closest. Pentan's are obviously the mongols of Glorantha.
