Fringe Animals in Island Inquest | World Anvil

Fringe Animals

Fringe Animals are animate creatures that appear similar to Animals but do not need to be. They are created by Magic and usually belong to a declining population.

Removing such Animals from their usual breeding grounds, causes sterility or in some cases even death within a short amount of time.

It is assumed that Magic itself isn't a big fan about playing god (see The Conscious Magic Theory).
