In cold waters the beasts of the ocean grow large... There are several large specimens around the island. Killer wales... narwhals some deep water sharks and there have been sightings of crustaceans the size of elephants... Yes you read that right. We sat ashore on what we thought was part of the cliff but the thing stood on its six legs and wandered off throwing us of its back in the process. How many there are is hard to say... They seem docile enough and didn't seem to have any instinct to engage.
Inland there are plenty of animals... Coastal birds make nests amongst the trees and cliffs that make up the surface of Maradia island... There are large populations of wild goats that the Amahil tend to.
There are also pleanty of wild curly haired boars amongst the fields and forests.
Killer bees.... Yes that's right in the jungles there are bees... bees as aggressive as most wasps and big as fingers... they seem to be naturally resistant to the heat of the steam that goes through out the area and often nest in such areas... Their stings cause severe pain and swelling along with red marks that are similar to burn marks as if ones been scalded. Often comes with blisters. If their honey is edible or has any particular properties is for braver souls then I to find out. They do carry a similar glow to fire flies though they dart about far faster then their lazy saunter and their glow should be a warning to those that approach. As a note these bees are not incapacitated in any way by smoke the way our average honeybee is... so approach with caution.
The islands coast is also populated by turtles that are drawn to the varmer waters were vents bubble up from the seabed... feasting on the abundance of crabs and seaweed that cling to the cliffs and laying eggs amongst the rocky shores.
Fire salamanders yes amongst the cliffs there are salamanders that have adapted to the volcanic heat... Growing to the size of a minotaurs hand with a extremely hot body temprature. Rumored to be able to expel boiling liquid that can easily cause burns and blisters.
