Since I am almost constantly brimming with new ideas for world building [particularly in fantasy settings] I felt it would be appropriate to just have my own thread where I could make a new post whenever I have a new Setting-related suggestion to make. I also wanted to do it like this so other members could comment/add their own ideas without clogging up the actual Setting thread. If it doesn't work out or something, I'd be perfectly fine with taking this thread down; it's just meant to be convenient, after all. ^^
Bedrohlich Pass
Bedrohlich Pass is the fearsome mountain passage that cuts through the southern end of the Aussichtslos Range, leading from the eastern territory past Nieman’s Lake and straight toward the Northern Rapids. It is frequented by herd animals and dangerous predators, and is made of several ‘chokehold’ areas where travelers are trapped on the ground with towering, sheer cliffs on both sides. If someone enters one of these areas from the mountains, they are provided a clear advantage against whatever lies below; if they can safely scale the cliff edges.

As of right now, I have two more fauna suggestions left to post, but because it's getting late and I have a surgery tomorrow, I'll be leaving what I do have finished here. [An official post with information about this will be posted in the Chat forum momentarily]
Jumping straight into this, here are my first three suggestions:

Wolftrap- These semi-rare carnivorous plants stand at about ten feet tall, and are only found in and around the Human Ruins. They have conscious minds and will eat – or at least attempt to eat – anything that moves. Their thorny main body and vines are able to move like tentacles and regenerate themselves at rapid paces, making them extremely hard to kill. The only way to stop their regeneration is to disconnect them from their root systems; consequently where they store their supply of water.

Jungle Elk- These prey beasts are hive-minded herd animals that are near constantly on the move. They migrate all through the Western Territory and the Aussichtslos Range, taking passes and pathways their heavy hooves have helped carve for years. Each Elk has a highly powerful immune system, giving them an almost 'unnatural' longevity and resistance to any kind of toxin.
