![]() Credit: Alaine Goat NPC of Milos Parhelion. Brought to Old Ironsides in November 2018. | |
Overview: Being that Ama was found injured out in the wild, there is little known information about this goat's heritage or history. In the short time Milos has had her, however, is is clear that her personality is fully developed. Noisy, curious, and quite playful, Ama will trust just about anyone with food but will give them grief with her nosiness and her teasing antics. Because her old injury never properly healed, Ama walks with a limp and is often seen toe-touching the ground on her left rear leg.
Personality: Curious and social albeit demanding, Amara can often be seen goading others - namely her Luperci caregivers - and heard bleating loudly when ignored. Despite this, she has an affectionate and easy-going temperament that helps to level out her more annoying tendencies.

![]() Credit: Alaine Horse NPC of Thyri Dawnbringer. Succumbed to the blizzard in January 2020. | |
Overview: Baldr was a nice, fat gelding who belonged to Thyri Dawnbringer.
Personality: Baldr was a very mild and even-tempered gelding. He was affectionate toward other creatures, from puppies to cats to adult Luperci, and often took a submissive role around other horses; this allowed him to get along with his more dominant herd-mates. Eager to work and eager for food, he was an ideal working companion. He was merely happy for attention, whether that was pulling a heavy cart or being ridden around, and could easily be overworked because he rarely complained. He loved treats, especially apples, and often greeted Luperci with an invasive nudge to see if they had any handouts. He wasn't an especially anxious individual, but he did spook, and was all-around an average horse though one forgiving to inexperienced riders and happy just for companionship.

![]() Credit: Despi Horse NPC of Evelyn Escuella. Relocated with her to Palisade in early 2022. | |
Overview: Blackjack is a warmblooded grade stallion belonging to Evelyn Escuella.
Personality: Quiet, but not complacent. Generally well-mannered and patient, but can be stubborn when he wants to be.

Credit: Wikimedia Commons Common genet NPC of Keabetswe. Killed during the Krokar Catastrophe that destroyed Fiskebyn in late October 2018. | |
Overview: Fiero was a male Common genet that lived in Krokar from April 2016 until its violent disbandment in October 2018. He was seen almost constantly with Malcolm, of whom Fiero was particularly protective, and later with Keabetswe.
Personality: Though he came off as indifferent or uncaring, Fiero was deeply attentive towards those who gained his trust and had a tender, subtle way of showing his affection. Those who were on the receiving end of his fondness were quick to see how big his heart was but it was difficult to achieve that level of trust and love. That said, he appreciated handouts and passive attention. Despite his small size and obvious physical disadvantages, he could be fiery and fierce. By nature, Fiero liked climbing and being at a high elevation. Due to past negative experiences, he hated mustelids and anything remotely resembling them.

Ginger (Horse) | |
![]() Credit: LexLin Gypsy Ranch Horse NPC of Merlin Knight. Succumbed to the blizzard in January 2020. | |
Overview: Ginger was a coldblooded grade mare belonging to Merlin Knight.
Personality: Loved everyone and everything, especially food. She was a little dumb though, and didn't know her own strength or size or weight.

![]() Credit: ekilby @ Flickr White-nosed coati NPC of Diego del Bosque. Returned to Ceniza Valley with him in August 2018. | |
Overview: Hocico likes to get his nose into everything -- especially food. Raised from birth as a pet, he is very tame, if not always obedient. He knows several commands and speaks a couple words of (Spanish) High Speech himself (his favorite word being "Quiero!"), and often "performs" with Diego.
Personality: Hocico is incredibly curious and insufferably nosy. Lacking boundaries, he can frequently be found digging into the belongings of the coyotes he lives with and has no sense of ownership. Therefore, he will steal things from others without batting an eye, especially if the item is edible. A friendly and social creature, Hocico loves being in the company of others. That said, he distrusts the clan's ravens and refers to them as malos pájaros — "bad birds." Though he greatly enjoys "performing" with Diego, Hocico is not good at taking commands and actually prefers to ignore his handler when told to do (or not do) something. This may make the coati seem unintelligent but Hocico is anything but. In fact, sometimes he's too smart for his own good and can find himself in a great deal of trouble because of it.

![]() Credit: Wikimedia Commons Maned wolf NPC of Diego del Bosque. Returned to Ceniza Valley with him in August 2018. | |
Overview: Luison was born to the maned wolf Arasy alongside a sister, Jasy Jatere, in Ceniza Valley where Arasy had accompanied Joaquina del Bosque as she fled her abusive family. However, Joaquina's brother Fidel Alvarez caught up with the group and killed Joaquina's companions, including Arasy, leaving the maned wolf pups orphaned. Joaquina fled north with the barely-weaned puppies and sought refuge in Inferni. Vesper permitted the pups' stay, and they began to adapt to clan life with help from Joaquina and her friend Diego. A couple months later, Joaquina was abducted from the clan by Fidel. Learning of her disappearance, Vicira Tears and Diego went to find and return her. Several weeks later, after Joaquina died in childbirth, Diego took the twice-orphaned pup in to raise while Vicira took charge of her sister.
Personality: In stark contrast to her sister, Jasy Jatere, Luison is quiet and thoughtful. Though not particularly extroverted, Luison does enjoy being in the company of others so long as small talk is not expected of her. Deep and meaningful conversations about subjects she's interested in, or those that are especially important to her, is the only type that she's accepting of and she will refuse — rudely if necessary — to engage in small talk or entertain intrusive questions. The deaths of the two most important female figures of her life has caused a strong sense of spirituality in Luison. She enjoys attempting to find meaning in life and the bad things that happen. This has strengthened her bond with Diego, whose ritualistic dances and pyromancy are deeply meaningful to her.

Maggie (Donkey) | |
![]() Credit: Mandi Donkey NPC of Merlin Knight. Killed in January 2022 during New Caledonia's war. | |
Overview: Maggie was a Mammoth jenny belonging to Merlin Knight.
Personality: She had a sweet, in your pocket kind of temperament, but was also a typical donkey. She would do everything told to her until she didn't feel like it anymore, then she'd stick to the ground like a tree. She loved treats - especially carrots - and was easily motivated by food.

![]() Credit: Alaine Domestic cat NPC of Milos Parhelion. Relocated with him to Old Ironsides in mid-August 2019. | |
Overview: Meerclar is a grumpy, aloof cat who has little patience for Luperci. Despite her moody behavior, she reserves a certain amount of tolerance for puppies, particularly those youth belonging to the few Luperci she is most loyal to.
Personality: Grouchy and feisty, Meerclar has little patience for stupidity and nonsense. When she's not with her remaining kittens, she can often be seen snoozing in the furs inside the house or off on her own around Krokar. She generally avoids Luperci when she can and largely ignores them when she can't. Meerclar respects and tolerates Milos, however. She has some handle on high speech but is not fluent.
History:
|
![]() Credit: Mandi Domestic cat NPC of Milos Parhelion. Relocated to Old Ironsides Trade Depot in early October 2018. | |
Overview: Moo is the last remaining kitten from Meerclar's 2016 litter and seems perfectly content to continue living in the Cormier-Parhelion household, much to her mother's chagrin. Unimaginatively named, Moo is a playful cat who particularly enjoys rough-housing and play-fighting.
Personality: Moo seems to be a rather simple cat, whose only goal in life is to hunt mice, engage in play, and snooze in the sun. She is neither crafty nor ambitious and, unlike her mother or her sister, she has no desire to ignore or annoy Luperci. On the contrary, Moo will often leave "gifts" for Krokarans in the form of mice or other unfortunate creatures.

![]() Credit: Wikimedia Commons Common loon NPC of Malcolm. Vanished in the autumn of 2017 and is presumed dead. | |
Overview: Raosar was a female loon under Ailie Morgan's care until Malcolm took over following Ailie's abduction. An attack left her right wing crippled, rendering her unable to fly. Raosar vanished in the autumn of 2017 and is presumed to be dead.
Personality: Raosar was a mysterious and secretive bird, preferring to spend the majority of her time out on the lakes whenever she could. During the months when the lakes began to freeze over, she took advantage of Ailie's generosity and relied on her for food and warmth. Quiet and mystifying, Raosar had a soft, beautiful call that Ailie found sad and haunted.

![]() Credit: Alaine Goat NPC of Milos Parhelion. Brought to Old Ironsides in November 2018. | |
Overview: Sela was born unexpectedly to Amara on Ocober 12th, 2014 and is just as shaggy and wild as her mother. She is the Houdini of goats
Personality: Sela has grown into an adventurous and deeply curious young doe. Though not as noisy or demanding as her mother, she rarely backs down from a challenge and is known to frequently escape her enclosure. Sela is friendly, playful, and usually one of the first goats to greet visitors.

![]() Credit: Wikimedia Commons Red-tailed hawk NPC of Merlin Knight. Was released into the wilds after Thyri Dawnbringer's death in February 2020. | |
Overview: Seraphim is a mature female hawk with the ability to speak broken High Speech and work cooperatively with Luperci to hunt, fight, and spy on others. Thyri Dawnbringer acquired her from a talented falconer in April 2016. They worked diligently together until Thyri's death in February 2020. After spending some time under Merlin Knight's care, she was released into the wilds to live her life free from falconry service.

History:
|
![]() Credit: San Horse NPC of Elle Cormier. Departed from Mistfell Vale with her in the spring of 2019. | |
Overview: Spruis is a wily, sometimes unruly, mare with an apt name. She doesn't mind Luperci but she only accepts a select few to handle or ride her. She'll happily listen to you sing, though!
Personality: True to the meaning of her name, Spruis can be a tricky mare to manage or get to know. She acts largely indifferent to Luperci, neither avoiding them nor actively seeking attention from them. She'll willingly accept treats (especially dried apples!) and listen to songs from anyone, but she allows only a very select few to handle her and trusts even fewer. If she's pushed by someone she has not previously accepted as a "worthy" handler, she may bite or otherwise act out. Those who can handle her should still be cautious; Spruis may still try to take advantage of any handler who she doesn't implicitly trust.

![]() Credit: Mandi Horse NPC of Merlin Knight. Traded to Bennett Braithwaite at the Lancaster Stockshow in September 2022. | |

![]() Credit: Despi Horse NPC of Evelyn Escuella. Relocated with her to Palisade in early 2022. | |
Overview: Vegas is a Hotblooded grade mare belonging to Evelyn Escuella.
Personality: Fast, strong, and foolhardy; haughty and stubborn. Little deters this determined horse, and even less scares her. This can, however, make her a nightmare to deal with. While not outwardly aggressive, Vegas readily and eagerly pushes her limits with her riders, and is hard to motivate. She's curious and generally unafraid, which can get her into some trouble if not supervised. A habitual Houdini if given enough roam without restriction. She is particularly fond of Santiago Tejada) and Evelyn Escuella.
