Toxic Tales: Extra Part 2

The Wastelands: a volcanic wasteland ruled by the magmasaurs. It's barren and has three volcanos, one of which the magmasaurs live in. It's blocked from most other biomes (besides the Troodon Woods) by the Anapos and Asopus Rivers. There's a single human village in the west of the biome. It's the least affected by the war because the poison wyverns don't think it's worth the struggle.

Prominent creatures: Magmasaurs, all bugs, and rexs.

Sub-biomes: Sulphur Springs and the Geysers.

The Frigid Tundra: a large snowy tundra ruled by the ice wyverns, who live on and in the largest mountain in the Icy Cliffs. It has three human villages, one by the lake, one in the Icy Cliffs, and one in the southern part of the biome. There are a multitude of frozen streams throughout the biome. It's cut off from the other biomes by the Asopus River.

Prominent creatures: Ice wyverns, yutys, mammoths, and carnos

Sub-biomes: The Icy Cliffs, the Pine Forest, and the Frozen Lake.

The Great Division: a massive mountain range cutting off the northern part of the known Mainland from the rest of it. It's the most feared part of the Mainland, it is patrolled by ice and fire wyverns at all times, and entry is strictly forbidden. The lightning wyverns where chased out of the Rolling Plains and into it, where they were most likely hunted down by the monstrous creatures that live there.

Rumored creatures: a flightless wyvern that glides between mountains and ambushes prey, often seemingly appearing out of nowhere. A mammal that can increase in size and brutally attack prey, a bird with incredible regenerative properties, and an odd creature that jumps incredible heights and dives at prey. There are sightings of many other creatures, however, most of these are one-offs.

Islands: the Tropeo Islands, the only place that wild tropeos live that's offshore of the Wastelands. Fjordhawk Island, a small island filled with fjordhawks offshore of the Wastelands. Kairuku Island, the breeding ground of Kairukus that's offshore of the Frigid Tundra. The Training Camp offshore of the Scorching Sands, it's used to train ice, fire, and formerly lightning wyverns for combat against the poison wyverns. While it's mostly wyverns, there's a small amount of other creatures such as velonasaurs, rexs, therizinos, spinos, and gigs.

P.S. most of the names of rivers and creatures are from Greek and Roman mythology that's why some of them are hard to pronounce and stand out a bit, however, they usually have a meaning that relates to the character. (especially main characters)
