====Steppe Giant====

In the Garvenus Steppe, it's about the laws of nature, the laws of predation, and the laws of survival. For the most part, almost everything fits in a cycle - everything has a food source, and everything can be eaten by something else. All except for one creature, the steppe giant. An insectoid creature evolved to take on tree- and plant-like characteristics, the steppe giant combines the hardiness of a tree, the regeneration of a plant, and the resilience of an insect, all in one package. Even the mighty spotted behemoth won't go near a steppe giant for fear of being trampled. Save for those gifted enough in fighting and magical ability, and the Sky Devourer itself, the steppe giant is nigh invincible in the wild.

In its path to becoming an apex specimen, the steppe giant had lost the need to reproduce given its survivability and exceptionally long lifespan. Should something come along and kill a steppe giant, it would drastically alter the Garvenus ecosystem, for better or for worse. Fortunately for it, the Stormlord peoples have launched major efforts to preserve this wonder of their world, an oddity among a people who would rather let nature's devices manage the world.
