Berghald

Berghald

Aspect: Geo · Nation: Norfjall

Overview

Berghald are stout and slow moving, foraging about the Norfjall wetlands. They are fairly docile and will curl up into a stony ball when feeling threatened. When traversing the steep terrain of the northern continent, this skill can be used to quickly descend muddy slopes. Berghald have an amazing sense of smell, able to find buried mushrooms and truffles which predominantly make up their diets. They are often observed rolling about the muddy bogs found in central Norfjall.

Habitat

marshes and wetlands, brackish deltas.
