Creature Ring-Tender Shadow Goblin A nearly-blind goblin of the sunless sinkhole who tends the pale ring-fungus and keeps the hollow's slow light from guttering out.

Creature Ancestry-Sense Dragon Kin The tall mortal line with the draconic weight in it — narrow-waisted, the shoulders a little broad, the fine scale-patch pale gold at the throat, the whole of it reading as one line that is waiting to be spoken in a tongue the mouth was not built for.

Creature Anvil-Singer Dwarf An iron-skinned deep-dwelling dwarf of the delve who sings the forge-fire and the anvil, the clan's patient, remembering, and most steady voice.

Creature Ash-Crow A black crow of the ashfields, glossed blue, with the sharpest eye of the flock and a memory that keeps the hand that feeds it.

Creature Ashen-Reach Human A short-lived, endlessly ambitious builder of the old fields and the new towns, who keeps their many oaths and their short, sharp, and very loud lives.

Creature Bargain-Carry Demon The heavy, low, slightly-too-broad shape of the pit, built dense and low with a deep muddy umber skin and fine pale red veins at the temples. Its bargain carries across the pit the way the fire carries across the ash, and the carrying is not a choice.

Creature Bitter-Distill Venom Goblin A fanged, gill-rimmed marsh goblin who distills the poison of the rust-colored fen and marks the warrens' still air with a bitter, green word.

Creature Bog-Hop Froglok A toad-leap of the black bog, sticky, short-tempered, and absolutely not to be cornered, who keeps its oaths loud and sharp and very short.

Creature Bone-Carry Dregmaw A shark-skinned, gilled judge of the bone city who carries the warren's bones and keeps the low warrens, the warren's quick, clannish, and most certain hand.

Creature Bone-Carry Skeleton The lean, quick shape of the field — thin through the ribcage, the finger-bones long, the whole of it built to carry the walk-line and to spend a nod the size of a whisper on the stranger who is worth the grave.

Creature Bone-Read Crow Man A black-plumed, watch-marked carrion kin of the great tree-city who reads the bones and keeps the low roosts, the roosts' curious, clannish, and most certain eye.

Creature Bone-Read Gnoll A heavy-jawed, dry-brown hyena-packer of the bone-totem savanna who reads the bones and keeps the low totems, the steppe's aggressive, social, and most certain eye.

Creature Brood-Carry Chimera A three-parted beast of the mosaic crags — lion-front, goat-mid, serpent-tail — who carries the brood and keeps the high rings, the crag's pack, cunning, and most certain tail.

Creature Call-Carry Deep One A pale, gill-bellied deep-kin of the pressure vaults who carries the call and keeps the high vaults, the vault's clannish, shy, and most certain voice.

Creature Cavern-Sense Basilisk The low, broad wall of the dark — heavy through the ridge, the head low, the ivory gaze-ring wet and bright, built to sit still for a long time and spend one look that does not come back.

Creature Clutch-Carry Cockatrice A crested, serpent-tailed fowl of the bare cliff roost who carries the clutch and keeps the high rings, the roost's territorial, cunning, and most certain wing.

Creature Court-Sight Serpent Folk A scaled, marsh-court judge of the coiled towers who sees the court's word and keeps the venom-courts of the coil, the marsh's feudal, clannish, and most certain eye.

Creature Crag-Sense Manticore A lion-bodied, scorpion-tailed, bat-winged beast of the bare crag who senses the crag and keeps the sting-rings, the crag's territorial, aggressive, and most certain sting.

Creature Crypt-Sense Vampire The tall, narrow, pale shape — heavy through the jaw and shoulder, the eyes the red of kept blood, the whole of it reading as one word that is waiting for a name, built to stand in the crypt and not move.
