Bosk:
 Though similar in build to the Yak of Earth, the Bosk bears the heavier form of the buffalo of Urth and like him, provides food, leather, and many of the needs of the people of Gor. The meat of the Bosk may be roasted or broiled, dried, stewed, or served in a myriad of ways.

A carnivorous mammal with a long neck and silky fur that stands 20 - 22 hands high. Vicious from birth, deadly, sleek, carnivorous and fast. It is capable of being domesticated for riding in spite of its vicious nature. It is capable of covering 600 pasangs (7/10 of a mile = 1 pasang) in a day. Their eyes are triple lidded to guard against the sandstorms of the desert regions. Its long hair is used to braid rope.

Larl:
A large (7 ft. at shoulder) feline, tawny red or black in color, having a black mane; carnivorous; similar to a lion, also the priest-kings owned some "great white" larl, one of which can be found in this castle

Marsh Shark:
A deadly fresh water hunter of the Gorean Marshes. Similar in shape to the shark of Earth.

Sleen:
The deadly hunting dog of Gor. A cross between a weasel and a Komodo dragon… furred, with fangs that drip a deadly poison. It has six legs and is tenacious, they can track a trail days old as if it were fresh... finally killing the object of the hunt.

Slender, lighter birds bred for speed and endurance. Racing Tarns are also used by messengers to go from one city/state to another.

Tarsk:
Similar to the Earth pig in form and ecological niche, they are not a favored food, being carrion eaters, but are a staple among the rence growers.

Tharlarion:
Heavy but swift, these beasts range nearly 40 hands in height. They are warm-blooded reptiles used in battle as shock troops, and a smaller bred cousin as draft animals on Gor. The Marsh Tharlarion is not domesticated, but a vicious and voracious hunter.

Tumits:
A large carnivorous bird of the plains. It is hunted and eaten by the Nomadic people of Gor. Traditionally hunted with bolos, the sport lies in whether you or the bird gets to eat that night.

Urts:

A giant clam that thrives in the seas and Marshes of Gor... the shell of which is large enough to be used as a throne.

Vulo:
A small bird similar to the chicken of Earth. The meat of the vulo is usually served roasted.
