Galimshara
Galimshara is old Asdaran 'wanderwort' that means any reptilian beast of burden. The word originates from the Jathya-Dhumi word, galimsharum. All Galimshara as reptiles or possibly amphibians, must be placed under the law-lock in order to be controlled by humans and other humanlikes.

Barbora
Although the barbora was domesticated in Bahuna, possibly in the region of the Turtle Sea at least five thousand years ago, the name 'barbora' comes from an ancient Midretassene word, attesting the creature's wide dispersal throughout the old world.
Chug
A chug is a lighter breed of the objute. Although not able to bear as much weight as an objute, it is swifter and still very hardy. Chugs are often used in desert warfare in Danona and in western Weshif.
