Though most of the forest would have been known to be a safehaven for all those seeking refuge, there occasionally lurked creatures that were real threats to the people of Exeba. These included the terrorhawk, lobstercroc and the most fierce Marmall. 
The first would swoop down and pick up all that were in the open, up to 48 creatures per creature per swoop. No weapon existed that could yet take even one down. Even it's feathers are considered high quality weapons... and they aren't effective against them. 
The second Would lurk in the waters and the sands,  creating sinkholes that can take on houses of any kind. There is but one person who has ever escaped one. He is now renowned as Limpy. And he is proud of it too. 
The last was revealing himself as he stepped forward, one paw at a time.

From that foresty bunch of leafs, there came a creature best described as a mix of a bear, wolf, lion and smoke-machine. The black thick fog surrounding the hard to discern sillouette of the creature made its eyes stand out even more. It was sniffing at the young ones as it too drooled blue acid unto the floor.

Sargom grabbed Kor by the mouth and dragged him into the berry bush. Kor didn't resist when he knew what was going on, but he did have a hard time not drowning in his own saliva as it build up in her hand. The silence alone could kill a person. Kor flapped his hand arround in the direction of the 2 elves.

Luckily for him this creature was a lone hunter and mostly blind...
