More nonsense from Wild Blue Yonder (I am still working on this I promise)

Life at altitude doesn't suit every creature, and so it is that sheep and cows do exist after the Breaking of the World, they are mainly raised by the orcs (and occasionally stolen by the ghido) of the Barrier. Shallows elves keep small goats and spotted deer, as well as some smaller, friendlier crested saurians. In Ardea and the Baronies though, altitude plays a role in what animals can be successfully farmed, as the lowest of these floating islands is at the same elevation as the highest of the Barrier's lofty peaks. Yaks, llamas, and alpacas are common, but the most numerous livestock animal was bred by the Alcidan elves many thousands of years ago. No one is certain what their original name was, but today they are called haggis, due to the strong resemblance between that dish and the bird-creature's large, leathery eggs.

Slow-moving, dim-witted, and perhaps a little smelly, the haggis is otherwise an inoffensive creature that minds its business and spends most of its time eating or sleeping. Though they have an owl-like face, divination and dissection suggests they are most closely related to a flightless species of forest parrot. Their thick fur-like feathers are waterproof and provide superior insulation, and thanks to the tiny hooks along their filaments, can be spun like wool. The resulting "downsilk" is used for all manner of outdoor garments, and haggis have been specifically bred to molt their feather coats off twice a year - a messy but lucrative harvest for their shepherds. Haggis are generalist herbivores and eat whatever they find, from moss and lichens to succulent grasses and the neighbour's flower garden, but their favourite food is root vegetables. They, in turn, are quite edible themselves, which means their herds need constant supervision - not just from predators, mind, but also because these helpless creatures tend to become stuck in fences, trapped on their backs after tumbling over stones, or stranded on rooftops if left to their own devices.

Small jetsquid are common foraging companions of many herds in the Baronies, since their activity stirs up insects or tiny fishes and bubblefish the jetsquid prey on. They also assist haggis herders in spotting danger, since the squid are quick to react to any stimulus, while a haggis might not realize a wyvern poses a hazard until it is literally being carried away in its talons.
