Gondol

Strange beings with two long legs attached directly to their heads, which are vaguely bearlike but relatively flat with outwardly elongated upper lips. They are mostly covered in brown fur, and have beady black eyes. They are typically solitary creatures, noted for their docility and peacefulness. As far as anyone has observed, they make no sounds, or any other visible interactions with other species. As such many people think of them as having a unique sort of mystique and beauty, romanticised as being silent observers content with appreciating the world as it is without affecting it. This idea has inspired Gondols to often be portrayed in artworks, particular ones featuring nature. Some theorise they are sentient and that we simply do not know because we cannot communicate; further still, some think they are Aquilla’s earthly watchers. Though sightings are rare, they are widespread, so it is hard to estimate where exactly they live, or how many.
