Enena
Native to Estall Bay are the enenas. They live in tropical jungle environments and enjoy remaining hidden in dense foliage, using heavily marked clearings as dens.
They are considered something between a bear and a wolf, as they have tall forelegs and walk flat-footed and therefore a peculiar manner of stepping. Around their neck, they have manes somewhat like a lion, and they are usually reddish brown with dark, rough stripes. Do to their compact build and dog-like appearance, they are adept at swimming but cannot climb.
They are intelligent hunters and form social herds with complex hierarchial systems of who does what. They are known to eat turtles and tortoises by cracking the shell with their teeth and strength. If hungered, they generally attack anything that looks tasty or threatening, and they will devour almost anything that fits in their mouth and would probably be able to digest it. Their primary sound is a distinct, short, powerful roar, which can be mistaken for a hoarse, sharp bark of a large dog. They use this sound in subdued variations for communicating, but will roar loudly if irritated.
Strength: They are known to have one of the most powerful set of jaws for their size, and will mainly bite to attack. Though they have sharp claws, they use these mostly for pinning down their food and not for attacking. They are capable of moving surprisingly fast and are light on their feet.
The enena has a very close relative, simply known as the snow enena but sometimes called the ruenena . These are quite identical to their jungle-bound cousins but are more timid, less social, and more aggressive, found only in the alpine heights of southern Evealdinn. As they live where it snows, their winter coat is white and thick. They are smaller and have a different diet which concentrates on smaller prey, though they have been known to hunt and eat wolves and bears.

Huim
In the open forests and cold grasses of North Ideitess roam huim. Because they closely resemble bears, they are also referred to as huim bears, but are properly known simply as "huim". It's been recently noticed that huim also can be found in the cold alpine mountains of Jindiara, but as it is so far from North Ideitess, it's not known how they got there. It's believed that they have not been imported.
Characteristics: At the shoulder, the average huim is 2-3 meters, and they can weigh 500-700kg. They have a long tail with a bony mass on the end. They have an excellent sense of smell, partly thanks to their large noses.
Behaviour: Like bears, huim stand on their hind legs to threaten, and they also bear their teeth and growl. They will hunt and feed on almost anything that won't kill them, and mature individuals lead solitary lives. They are larger than any other type of bear, and do not have dens or go into a state of dormancy like bears.
Strength: Their large claws and powerful jaws prove to be good weapons, but they have never been seen using their tail as a weapon. They are smaller in the shoulders than other bears, but are larger in the stomach and have a much larger head and a snout that opens wider, thus, is much more dangerous.
