“The multiverse is a crowded place, filled with shadows that breathe and predators that defy every law of biology I was taught back home. Within these notes, you’ll find my observations on the lifeforms I’ve encountered. Some are noble, most are hungry, and all are fascinating.”
— Ignatius Teller
To the untrained eye, every shadow with teeth is a monster. To the researcher, they are simply neighbors with differing social boundaries. This volume catalogues the beasts and birds of our world; whether they intend to guide you home or have you for supper depends entirely on the specimen—and, quite often, your own manners.
