???A common creature on the plains, the flatbellied kako is the smallest of the three kakos. Looking somewhat like rhesus macaques with scorpion tails long enough to reach over their heads, they are very intelligent and curious nocturnal pack creatures. They are not dangerous but are nevertheless annoying pests.

???The sandstinger kako is an enormous threat to all those who traverse deserts of any kind. They are highly resistant to their varied temperatures and are closer to scorpions than the rest of their kin; their stingers are poisonous and very dangerous. A pack of sandstinger kakos has brought down many an unwary traveler or caravan.

???The largest kako, the treeshaker kako is a massive, gorilla-like kako that can easily kill a human with it's large stinger. Although omnivores, they prefer meat above other sources of food. It's name derives from it's habit of simply shaking a tree, either alone or in unison, in order to acquire any fruits it might bear as well as small tasty morsels in the form of treetop creatures.

???A rather freaky creature really. It has a pear-shaped torso. On this torso it has a face with a very large mouth and a very human nose and ears; it's eyes are elevated on stalks on top of it's head and it sports two very strong goat-like legs. It has a long, flowing tail which helps it maintain it's balance after taking one of it's signature jumps, which can sometimes go further than an untrained elf could!???

"When you hear the Clattering, you know it's all over."
The Clatterslasher is a fearsome beast. Not only is it intelligent, it's enormous and extremely dangerous. It's preferred habitat is that of forests, where it stretches it's legs between several trees and waits in ambush. It's extremely hard to detect it because it tends to choose trees where it gets lots of concealment from foliage. Add to that it's very dark-green coloration, and you'll realize why so many people have died to the Clattering. The Clattering is the sound that one hears as it opens it's mouth and slides it's abdominal blades out of their resting position; they tend to clatter against each other, and it's chitin carapace also clatters.

???A curious plant-based beast. It's essentially a mass of vines, thought to be a mishap of an ancient demon's attempt to exterminate the elves. It's a dangerous, albeit slow predator that simply crushes it's enemies to death with it's vines. Care should be taken when you notice these creatures because they do not trigger any normal traps.
