Chilotaurs- Chilotaurs resemble a cross between an human and a giant centipede. They vary in size but average between 40-120 feet in length. Their human halves have deeply tanned skin, pointed ears, and two long antennae protruding from their foreheads that are always in motion. Their function is to alert the chilotaur to any threat or food source nearby. They are very sensitive to movement to a range of about 60 feet. They are longer for males to help them locate mates.
Their centipede bodies are various shades of colour ranging from a very light tan to deep black or red. The number of legs varies but most have around 40 pairs. The first pair of legs are actually a delivery system for a very nasty venom which is why most predators leave chilotaurs alone. Effects are paralysis followed by difficulty in breathing and death in a matter of minutes for human sized victims. Larger predators may escape with severe pain and nausea.
However chilotaurs do have their weaknesses. They can’t stand bright light of any kind and prefer to avoid travelling in daylight if they can help it. They prefer dark, moist environments and are usually found on the forest floor among the leaf litter or in caves or in ruined buildings.
Chilotaurs aren’t fussy about their diet. If its slow enough to catch and small enough to be swallowed, its lunch! Favourite food items include small mammals, flightless birds, reptiles of all descriptions and various fruits and vegetables. They are particularly fond of small arboreal frogs and doesn’t seem to mind the skin secretions at all from the poisonous varieties. Although rare, it has been known for greater specimens to turn man-eater. These individuals can be a real hazard for adventurers exploring cave systems.
Nagas- Nagas are half human, half snake people. Their size varies a lot, ranging from 6 feet "head to ground", to about "120 feet head to ground", with very different body lengths. (The creature is goint to be a giant naga, though.) Giant nagas are very dangerous and pose an enormous threat to adventurers on Felarya. They are fast and agile predators, surprisingly silent for their size and possess huge appetites. They love to ambush convoys and small groups of humans. A typical giant naga eats about 5 humans a day to stay healthy, and many more in order to feel satiated. They eat animals if the hunt is going poorly, and some have even included fruits and vegetables in their diet. Nagas have very strong stomachs. Not only it can digest just about everything, but it's very resistant to damage as well. Once an unfortunate adventurer finds himself trapped inside one, there is really only one thing that can happen.
In battle, nagas mostly use their tail, along with their bare fists and sometimes a weapon. A naga's tail is tremendously strong, and can do great damage when swung, crushing their foes between the ground and their tough scales. In spite of their physical powers nagas are usually peaceful towards other creatures and are not really a war-like race. The major exception is when dealing with dridders, who have been their natural enemies since time immemorial.
