Orator Kloe says: Ah, and pay attention to their beak. They might look friendly, but their bite can and has severed the digits of even our mighty centurions.
Orator Kloe says: Although they are predators, instead of the largest fangs or claws they employ stealth and cunning when they hunt.
Orator Kloe says: Can any of you contend with a skymane? We shall see.
Orator Kloe says: In ages long past, aspirants trained against these creatures before the advent of our centurions. While effective, I discourage you from ever attempting to stop a larion mid-attack.
Orator Kloe says: It is entirely possible that you may journey in Bastion for millennia before you encounter these creatures in the wild.
Orator Kloe says: Let us see how you fare against one of these stalwart beings.
Orator Kloe says: Majestic and swift, there are few beings in any realm that can hope to match one at full gallop, nor match their endurance.
Orator Kloe says: Next we shall delve into the elusive vulpin.
Orator Kloe says: Next we shall discuss the hardy terrapin.
Orator Kloe says: Next we shall explore the swift skymane.
Orator Kloe says: Next we shall learn about the mighty larion.
Orator Kloe says: Of course, this same horn is prized by predator and hunter alike, so they must often put their speed and endurance to use.
Orator Kloe says: Prove yourself against a larion--impress me.
Orator Kloe says: Savor the moment that you find a vulpin, for it may be the only time in your existence.
Orator Kloe says: Should you encounter a larion, I suggest you appreciate it from a safe distance.
Orator Kloe says: Terrapins are one of the most ancient creatures in all of the Shadowlands. They never stop growing as they age, infusing ambient anima into their shells as they do.
Orator Kloe says: The bravest--or perhaps most foolhardy--have tried to bond with these creatures so that they may serve as mounts.
Orator Kloe says: The larion is a far deadlier foe. Their wings allow them to chase prey with unparalleled precision, and their massive claws and teeth take care of the rest.
Orator Kloe says: The oldest terrapin will grow crystalline structures throughout their bodies and shells, which in addition to being particularly formidable can be used against enemies.
Orator Kloe says: The results were often... deadly. Larions are also highly territorial--alphas will vie to become dominant over one of Bastion's many hills, fending off all who tread near.
Orator Kloe says: Their horn is able to store and channel small bursts of anima. Combined with their speed, they can be a formidable opponent in combat.
Orator Kloe says: They use this shell to protect themselves from predators. You will find them quite resistant to your weapons compared to other creatures you may encounter.
Orator Kloe says: This, of course, can make them quite difficult to hunt, but their elusiveness only adds to the value of their flowing tails in alchemical pursuits.
Orator Kloe says: Vulpin are able to use anima to bolster these abilities, allowing them to reinforce their fur, increase their speed, and even veil themselves completely from sight.
Orator Kloe says: Well done! We shall begin your next lesson in a few moments.
Orator Kloe says: Will you be able to find your way past one of these beasts?
Orator Kloe says: Worry not should you encounter a terrapin in your long journey ahead. They are quite docile creatures, and are only a threat to you if provoked.
Orator Kloe says: You may have encountered lions from your world. Some of you may even be here due to an encounter with one.
Orator Kloe says: You will undoubtedly see many skymanes as you travel Bastion. They are truly a wonder to behold in our realm.
