Entry

By far the most unique species I've come across on Ceru. This entry doesn't necessarily describe a single special "giant" variant, though they do certainly have their giants among them. There are actually a few types of "ground sloth" I've seen, dwelling in the warmer parts of southern Ceru, browsing on open plants, with small ones dining on shrubs, and large ones browsing on short trees. They certainly aren't slothlike in nature, but the only creature that I've seen even resembling their appearance is the tree sloth. They have large claws to grasp at foliage and help climb trees to stand on their hind legs, as well as to fight off prey. Much like a tree sloth's claws, indeed, but they are fast enough to actually make effective use of them. Thankfully, they would rather waddle off than use them, but aren't afraid to do so if a predator were to pursue. They also have a tail to keep balance when standing upright, another obvious departure from their tree-dwelling ilk.

They don't appear to find descendants very threatening, not registering our kind as potential predators, just strange creatures. So, it is my hope that whoever reads this book is kind and doesn't over-hunt them, lest we cause their poor, naive extinction.
