The cryptile is a small lizard that resides on the salt plains most of the time, only coming onto the limestone karst to lay its eggs. cryptiles use their sticky frills like flypaper, running into swarms of brine flies and eating them up, licking the flies off its frill with its long tongue. the cryptile resembles a 21st century frilled lizard, however they aren't related. the cryptile is actually a future descendant of the agamid lizard.

The scrofas are pigs that walk on their tippy-toes in order to scale the rocky limestone ledges of the karst, aswell as using their snouts to forage the rocky crevices known as grykes for food. scrofas are omnivores, feeding on anything from roots and shrubs to cryptile eggs. scrofas live in small family groups, consisting of a male and his harem of females. a female can give birth up to three or four piglets at a time. the scrofa is a favorite prey item of the gryken, the most fearsome predator of these parts. like the woolly plow-hog, the scrofa is also a future descendant of the wild boar.
