Megafauna

Megafauna is a category of gigantic animals that are not adapted to life in society. They are often unable to speak, but sometimes understand common language. The best-known representatives of megafauna are tyrannosaurs, pigritas and dragons.

Dangers of megafauna

Megafauna react in a much more primal way than animals in society, they don't see normal-sized animals as their equals, and are therefore very dangerous. Fortunately, they remain on the periphery of society, but populate the forests and surrounding areas for the most part, since very few people actually hunts them. There are usually rewards for those who manage to kill one.

Requirements

A single specimen can be considered a member of the megafauna regardless of its species, to be called a member of the megafauna, the mass of an individual has to excess 1 ton, and it has to be over 2,50 meters tall or long. Then, there are several more levels:

• Minor megafauna: Over a ton.
  • Here we find the vast majority of the megafauna, the centaurids, the largest megafelixes and the enormous snakes known for their immense weight, such as the red python or the green anaconda. It's here that we find the world's largest animals that society is still able to integrate, and who can therefore still speak.
• Major megafauna: Over 5 tons.
  • The large prehistoric dinosaurs and the very large pigritas.
• Maximum megafauna: Over 20 tons.
  • Usually only the most massive dragons on the planet, althrough some other animals reach that level.

Note that an individual with the power to manipulate its mass is not part of the megafauna, whatever happens.

Domestication of megafauna

Thanks to the superior quantities of resources they could produce, some megafauna species were domesticated briefly, but never over the long term, notably pigritas for their wool. Members of the megafauna are far too dangerous for ordinary animals.
