The fauna of the Anvil Range is just as tenacious and specialized, with burrowing serpents, cliff-dwelling predators, and subterranean beasts dominating the ecosystem. Creatures such as the Dhorax, a massive rock-armored serpent, and the Vorkirn, a silent hunter that navigates with subsonic echoes, have evolved to thrive in the darkness below and the unforgiving terrain above. Each species, whether plant or beast, plays a role in the delicate, hostile balance of life in the mountains, shaping the world of the Minthari just as much as the tunnels they carve through the stone. | The fauna of the Anvil Range is just as tenacious and specialized, with burrowing serpents, cliff-dwelling predators, and subterranean beasts dominating the ecosystem.
