''A lot of this shit's unfinished at this point, and cluttered''

Eisenreich’s vast lands unfortunately leads to an impossible large number of animals to classify, name, photograph, and most prestigious of all, get recognized for finding the 1287th subspecies of horse beetle in the region. It would be easier to just name the various super major species that live in Eisenreich. All across Eisenreich, there are beetles. Of course to just simple stop there wouldn’t do them any justice, but to give an idea of what types of beetles, canine beetles, riding beetles, toy beetles, and the most common of all, micro beetles. Canine beetles are beetles who fit the role that a wolf, or dog would fit. They act similar to dogs or wolves, they most commonly live in packs, and are more intelligent than most beetle species. Canine beetles are the most common types of beetles in cities and suburban areas, and are valued for both their protective nature of their owners and children, but for their natural shepherding instincts, usually herding small children away from unknown, or dangerous things, and towards their parents. Riding beetles are valued for obvious reasons, they are easy to ride, they are docile, and they enjoy sugar. There are 3 main types of Riding beetles, horse beetles, ass beetles, now renamed donkey beetles due to the connotations of ass, and pack beetles. Horse beetles are valued for the speed and endurance they are capable of. Donkey beetles are often used for farm work, and are known for their stubbornness when danger is around, or just plain stubbornness. Pack Beetles are capable of carrying high amounts of weight without care, and are migratory, thus are favored by merchants when moving high quantities of materials. Toy beetles, are the various species of beetles bred to be pets. Micro beetles would be a regular beetle to us, but to a world where dog sized beetles are as common as dogs themselves, micro beetles fits better than calling it a beetle.
  
The second super major species that lives in Eisenreich are the Demidrakes. Breathless dragons bred into docility by the Biserian people, used for various things by the Biserian people. From food, to pack animals, to even assisting shepherds, demidrakes are a common sight. A penchant for recognizing and protecting valuables have lead many Biserian merchants to have demidrakes as guard animals. Demidrakes themselves are bred for loyalty, to recognize men of status, and are a hefty but wise investment for anyone to make. Few actions call for an execution, but among such is stealing a demidrake from it’s owner. The reason for it is because the man isn’t just stealing from the owner, but he’s stealing from multitudes of generations that the demidrake will live to serve and protect. The high cost of a demidrake isn’t due to the number of demidrakes available, because there are an excess of demidrakes. It’s due to the training it takes before a demidrake is made compliant to the new owner. The relative cost for a untrained demidrake compared to a trained one, the untrained one is worth 10 times less than the trained one, but due to the damages the untrained demidrake may cause, it is outlawed in the empire to sell an untrained demidrake.

Treemen, Ents, or Woodbrides, what ever men call them, they are a sizable, and dangerous animal/plant hybrid. Living in the Zauberwald forest, they act as guardians, attempting to protect the giant magical trees of the forrest. Camouflaging themselves as trees, they usually don’t attack a passerby without reason and some accounts say they are capable of speech, however this has been disproven many times. Do not believe any soldiers accounts about Ent’s talking, they were merely on hallucinogens at the time. We direct you towards the Ministry of Biological concerns for in depth proof. There are many trees with similar traits as the Zauberwald tree, and are a categorized from the trees who are unable to direct or carry magical energies, all the way up to the Zauberwald. In construction of military vehicles that require magical assistance to move them, only Zauberwald is used. Thankfully only a small number of vehicles require Zauberwald, and even then a small amount. The only vehicle that requires a large amount of the Zauberwald are the Stahlreisen. Zauberwald is valued because of both the quality, and quantity of magical energies it is able to direct and hold. The trees jealously guarded by the state, and have waged war upon minor nobles for cutting down a single tree for construction of an official Stahlreisen.
