- There are communities of people living in far-flung islands of the world that can hold their breath for a pretty long length of time (several minutes, at least). Hunters would certainly practise a lot, and maybe their species has larger lungs or a more efficient respiration system. - Plants, I'd guess, but there's no way to really know. - Kirin lives just about everywhere (Volcano, Jungle, Swamp, Tower) and it bugs me too. I'd suggest isolated populations in the different habitats that're specially adapted to that environment (like Bnahabra?) - Who says they're very old? They could just be at their physical prime, with the Azure/Pink as adolescents and red/green as even younger. Or Gold/Silver could actually be subspecies in the rather truer sense of the word. - Does Royal Luddy really need that mane to survive? I don't remember that... But even if that's the case, little Ludroths never really seem to stray very far from a source of water. - Arena? Erm, no idea on that one. - Generally, any monster that's large enough to destroy an entire village, like Fatalis or Ukanlos tend to be pretty rare. Plus I think there's some mythology where Fatalis destroyed vast areas by itself (Shrade seems pretty empty). And when Ukanlos showed up, everyone in the village seemed very worried. - Sea cucumbers can regenerate their digestive system pretty remarkably. Personally I think it's more likely Paria just vomits up its stomach contents like lots of things, that'd be enough to put off most monsters. - Plessy is an exceptionally strong swimmer. ;)
