Between here and the Moonseye thread, *sigh* okay, everywhere in the RotE room Surrender, well, yes, I have a bit of a 'giant' fixation going on. Having this in mind, I just went

[Image: eek2.gif]

when I first read about certain animals in the region of *City of Dragons spoiler*

[+]Spoiler
Kelsingra (Chapter Three). Not only had Carson seen "big predators", and so all members of the Tarman expedition had to have two people working together when going out hunting but, while Thymara and Tats were out hunting, they came across a "hoofed creature" of "great size", "the largest" Thymara had seen yet. After this Heeby ate the big buck and Thymara noted that she had "never seen any animal that big, except dragons".

After moving on from there they both noticed score marks on a tree that they had passed but Thymara could not decide if they were from claws or antlers.

So. Thoughts? I'm not sure if light is shed on this later in CoD but are these creatures 'large' large in that they have undergone some physical change in size due to their proximity to Kelsingra (like the Elderlings were/are larger and longer)? One major point to contradict this could be that Fitz had never noticed a significant change in size of the dogs and cats he had seen while in Kelsingra in AQ. Still, the size of the trees around the region also comes to mind as I think of 'large' here. Larger-than-usual trees, larger-than-usual humans (Elderlings), larger-than-usual buildings and larger-than-usual animals...

OR are they large due to some other magic/reason? Related in some way to giants or some other element?

OR do they just *seem* large to the Rain Wilders in comparison to those animals which they all would have seen in the past eg large land-dwellers as opposed to tree-dwelling creatures or simply moose-sized or panther-sized animals in comparison to gazelle-sized or house cat-sized ones?

OR something else?

OR maybe just dragon-sized portions...! Big Grin
This ^ is what I really want to talk about but I can't help throwing in the fact that wolves had been creatures of legend to the keepers (interestingly not capitalised like the Elderlings, the Others etc...but that's another thread! P ) and thus they were terrified when they heard wolves howling from the distant hills from Kelsingra. In this the wolves were not unlike the other legendary or mythical creatures and folk from my opening post in this thread...



"I am the Catalyst, and I came to change all things. Prophets become warriors, dragons hunt as wolves."
