CR 6 - 10
Colfex, Professional
(Medium Animal)
A quadrupedal mammal with fixed claws, sabre fangs, and thick plate scales down its back and tail. They behave
similarly to wolves, but are more clearly hierarchical. Ram and maul tactics are typically used, they will often
knocked their foes to the ground and mangle them with claws and fangs.
As animal companions they are affectionate and protective with their owners. However, they are quite a bit more
difficult to tame and often fetch a high price as a result. City guards prefer Colfex to canines if it can be
afforded. This is because Colfex are more intimidating to average folk, especially with their chilling roar.

Keireth, Professional
(Medium Animal)
Keireth are slender, graceful quadrupeds with a weirdly elegant blend of mammalian, reptilian, and arthropod traits. They move on long, slender legs tipped with sharp climbing claws, and their vitals are guarded by overlapping chitin plates thickest along the spine, with chitin “ribs” on the flanks that meet in fine points down the belly and chest. Wherever the chitin breaks, small flexible scales take over, and faint turquoise bioluminescence shines between the ribbing—glowing brighter or dimmer depending on how startled they are. Their faces are heavily armored, with wasp-like mandibles hidden under the plating that extend when they feed; they have no eyes, only two small breathing holes along the chitinous muzzle. Two long, drab, plumose tendrils sweep back from the head to about mid-body, reading scent and ground-and-air vibrations with alarming accuracy.
