The native animal to Aglarost is known as a spo'oph. It is the work horse of our society . We use it for many different tasks including farming, hunting, cleaning, transportation, and gaming, and they're also just household pets. Our founder discovered these while searching the depths of the volcano. He captured one and tamed it. The spo'ophs are quite intelligent. In fact the spo'oph that Jakiro captured was able to lead him back to the depths of the volcano and show him his people. Even though he could not communicate with the spo'ophs, he was able to see what happened to them. They were the food source for most of the creatures in the darklands. That's why they lived near the mouth of the darklands. But their main predator was a creature called the Nom. He was a great beast that hunted the spo'ophs to near extinction. So Jakiro decided to kill the Nom that was harassing the spo'oph herd. He was able to kill the Nom using Zulfiquar. Once he did this he took his spo'oph which he called Chow, back to the Menel. Seeing how happy Chow was with Jakiro, the other spo'ophs decided to go to with Jakiro to live in peace and prosperity with him.
The spo'ophs are held in high esteem in the society. Even though they are the work horse they are treated very well. If you harm or abuse your spo'oph, you will get your spo'oph taken away for one year, and that one year wait will start once you go through Ascension. And the Ascension will be surviving the journey from second lowest level of the dark lands to Valdar. And the Acolytes will judge if you are worthy of rejoining the society, and if you will ever get your spo'oph back.
Overall the Spo'ophs are around 4'6, but what they lack in height they make up for in strength. We mainly use them for farming but as mentioned before they are used for hunting. They mainly retrieve the animals, and very rarely actually hunt. They also clean, and are used as a main source of transportation. Also every Friday you can enter your Spo'oph in the races and if your spo'oph wins you get a special prize.
