Under Construction
Dragons - It is a myth that these wonderous creatures are
reptiles. Though they may appear reptilian, they're in fact warm-blooded.
They're primarily carnivorous, but are capable of being omnivores if the
situation requires it. They are independent and wise creatures, capable of
both sedate behaviour and relentless ferocity. They're very intelligent,
often learning to understand spoken language, though they are incapable
of speaking due to lacking the proper mouth structures to do so. When
born, they grow very rapidly and reach adult size in a matter of months.
After that, they cease to age, and only die from disease or injury, not
old age. As they grow older, they develop breath weapons (typically
various forms of fire projection), and may even learn to cast magical
spells. In fact, once they reach full size, their grasp of language,
spell casting ability, and strength of their breath weapon are the only
easily recognizable means of estimating a dragon's age. Some very
ancient and powerful dragons may learn to polymorph into human form for
brief periods, during which time they can speak. The rest of the time,
their means of communication with humans is typically in the form of
head nodding in answer to yes/no questions. Note that very young dragons
may understand little to no spoken language.

Sasquatch - It's not really known weather these humanoid creatures
are more closely related to humans, apes, or bears, since they have
features of all three. They have an intelligence roughly equivelant
to a three-year-old human. Usually they will learn somewhere between
10 and 100 words, though that number could probably double if it
weren't for the fact that they're naturally cautious around any
creature that is not of their own species. They tend to shy away
from interacting with people, but it does happen from time to time.

Earth Elemental - Like all elementals, these are rarely
encountered just roaming about naturally. More often than not, if
one is spotted, it was most likely summoned by a spellcaster. It
may or may not still be under that spellcaster's control, and in
either case they are often dangerous. Naturally roaming ones are
usually much more sedate and peaceful. Since they're actually composed
of rock and dirt, edged weapons and fire attacks are usually useless
against them. They are somewhat susceptible to blunt attacks, but it
usually takes magic or a powerful blow to damage them (such as a
stone from a catapult).
