What with all this talk of Praxian herdbeasts does anyone have any
information on the lost/missing/hidden/etc tribes of Prax.
 
A list of the names I have been able to find in official and
semi-official publications follows, with my suggestions for RW
equivalents:

Bellow-Beast - Wildebeest (well they make a lot of noise whenever they
have a film crew in the vicinity!)
Claw-Footer - extinct camel-like beasty (with clawed feet!)the name of
which I can't remember of the top of my head.
Long-Nose - Elephant
Loper - Kangaroo?
Nose Horn - Centrosaur?
Plains Elk - Irish Elk or (since they are called this in the French
Nomad Gods) Elan

Since counters exist for them in Nomad Gods, do herds of long-nose,
plains elk and nose horns still roam Prax/The Wastes. There was also the
story in Drastic vol Prax with the dead elephant warrior's ghost.

There have been references to a marsupial tribe, hence equating lopers
with kangaroos - they bounce after all!

Cheers

Meirion
