 Ikhano: A bearded vulture a preferential bone eater that lives in wide ranges of the former Empire.  It is seen as an enormous threat, especially by the priests of the [[Hand of the Dead society|Hand]], who must compete with them after battles or plagues to prevent them from taking and defleshing corpses.   Unlike most animals, many priests contend that ikhanos have First Ancestors and are thus capable of sentinence.
-Ushukuna (Khutir): Legend has it that there is an enormous, highly cunning ikhano known as Ushukuna living high in the mountains of [[Khutu]] (from whence her alternate name, Khutir).  She is seen as an almost-immortal, or at least ageless creature of enormous power, highly dangerous, and that anyone whose body is eaten by Ushukuna becomes an aidastu (haunt).  Few report ever having seen this terrific creature, but her legend is formidable nonetheless.

 Lishlobo: A mythical (?) sea creature that is made of or looks like it’s made of seaweed.  It is also sometimes imagined to be a great creature on which seaweed grows, giving it that appearance.  None has ever been reliably spotted or captured but many sailors believe in it, especially in [[Ashnabis Territory|Ashnabis]].

 === Tales and Legends ===
-Legend of Ling and Pigai: This is a myth, possibly with a grain of truth, about a pair of twin brothers, Ling and Pigai.  Ling was born first, strong and healthy, while Pigai was sickly.  Their mother died in the early morning, having shared first dawn with Ling but not his brother.  The two were separated and Pigai, as [[Corpseborn Society|corpseborn]], knew little of his origins.  As youths, they met and fell in love with one another, not knowing of their connection.  Ultimately this story ends tragically, with Ling discovering the connection, killing his brother for causing their mother’s death, and then taking his own life.
