Feybeasts



Feybeasts are beasts which are able to wield mana. Upon their death the mana within their bodies hardens into feystones. If the feystone is touched in any way, like being hit or scraped by a knife, any bodyparts still connected to the stone will melt away, making butchering a feybeast for meat work that requires great care.

A bahelm (バッヘルム, Bahherum) looks like a winged cow with several horns on its head, from which one of the horns was long and sharp like a unicorn's horn and two other ones were big, long and sprawling like an elk's horns. The legs look muscular with sharp claws protruding from its paws reminding like a tiger or lion.

A fetze (フェルツェ, Ferutse) emerges after a zantze grows and evolves.

A goltze (ゴルツェ, Gorutse) is a strong feybeast and the last evolution stage of a zantze. It is much taller than a zantze, reaching heights of a two-story-tall building.

A Grun (グリュン, Guryun) is a feybeast that has a shape similar to Earth's red panda, but with a bony torso and a striped pelt of black and dark-green hues.

They generally have vicious tempers, but become particularly dangerous in the spring, when they emerge hungry and irritate from their nests after raising their young. In that season it is also expected to encounter Gruns in pairs, since they tend to stay close to their partners. Gruns also have a strong and foul smell that Rozemyne compared to that of Miso. It is intense enough that some nobles are nearly incapacitated from being exposed to it, though those who had experienced the stench of Ehrenfest's lower city prior to it's remodeling appear to be barely affected, if at all.

Gruns are capable of exceptionally fast movment and can charge their targets with a speed too fast for unenhanced Human eyes to follow the movement.

Many nobles compare the appearance Rozemyne's highbeast Lessy with that of Gruns, but she vehemently denies this comparison since they are "not cute at all" .-->

Kieferdeckes are a species of feybeast native to Haldenzel. They are among the weaker feybeasts, but life in large groups and scatter upon spotting a predator, which makes them hard to exterminate. They lay their eggs from late spring and throughout the entire summer and can cause great damage to the harvest if not dealt with.

A talfrosch (タルクロッシュ, Tarukurosshu) is a toad-like feybeast of varying size. They eat each other to grow and split again into multiple smaller frogs when injured sufficiently. Only when they have split into their smallest size can the individual small toads be killed. It has a stretchy and springy tongue to grab foes from a distance to be swallowed whole. At their largest they are able to swallow a Human on a hose-sized highbeat whole. They are generally seen as merely a nuisance rather than a true threat, since they never wander into inhabitet areas and are easily dealt with by trained knights. Due to their gross appearance however they are loathed, particularly by female knights

One of the places were talfroschs can be found is the Goddess' Bath near Fontedorf in central district of Ehrenfest.

A warf (ボルフェ, Borufe) is used in the game of warf. When struck, it curls up comparable to an armadillo or a pill bug. Their hides are very tough and can easily withstand a large amount of blunt force.

A zantze (ザンツェ, Zantse) is a cat-like feybeast which is about knee-high and not particularly strong. It evolves through absorbing mana, by eating ruelles or other feybeasts. The next evolution is called fetze.
