When the Divine Duneskipper approaches, it is said to cause landslides and earthquakes. Given their slow digestion process, anyone caught inside of it can survive for weeks and even months by scavenging other materials that the Divine Duneskipper may have swallowed.		**Divine Duneskipper - A relative of the [[Godfish]], it is a species on the verge of extinction.

===Sands of the Dead===
Found in southwestern [[Eidyn]], the Sands of the Dead is an ancient area dating back to the beginning of Eidyn. The spirits of those who died during the drying of Leir's oceans reside here. These will often appear during a sandstorm. The Sands of the Dead area is directly west of the Great Boneyard.

===Coral Forest===
The Coral Forest consists of the remains of a former reef that was once the bottom of an ocean. Coral formations and the shells of deep sea creatures dot the landscape in this region. The Coral Forest consists mostly of western Leir.

===Great Boneyard===
The Great Boneyard occupies southeastern lair. Known as a treasure trove of ancient fossils, giant rib cages and skulls dot the landscape in this region as the sandstorms and dust preserve them as part of the geography. These are the remains of extinct animals, larger than anything that is still alive today. A [[Leviathan]] skeleton is one of the most prominent land features.

The Great Boneyard comprises of two major biomes. The plains consist of wide open areas that giant animals inhabit. The graveyard consists of large clusters of bones which smaller animals can hide within.
