These large ram/sheep are owned mostly by the Woldren as they are a domesticated species. They grow thick massive coats that are shorn for wool products or their hides are fully tanned when they are used for food, to line the woldren caves, and to make entrance covering to their den rooms. Males and females both grow large curling horns, though females are smaller. Their standard color is a deep rich brown with light tan points and signature horn color fade. They have round stubby noses and drooping ears and lack heavy wool on their faces and around their hooves. They have long tails that end in thick fluff, useful for brushing off snow off their backs. They do come in other colors but rarely, the other colors are; White, Brown Merle, and Black. These rams stand at about elbow/chest high with the Woldren. Found in snowy climates.

These long slender pointed nose eels are very common in warmer costal waters. They are a slate gray with a light gray green tail and dark gray squiggle like markings down to about the half way mark on their bodies. Needle eels make great snacks for many dragons, often dried into jerky whole, or in fillets. They have no scales and are leathery so do not require scaling and their bones are so fine, they are easy to chew and don't get stuck in your throat. Another common cooking method is cut into chunks and boiled into seafood soups. A very mild fishy flavor compared to other seafood.

These fruits have thin skin and soft flesh that taste sweet and fruity. Often used in various dishes and drinks, they are highly sought after, but hard to find.
