Emerald finds the nearest chair he can and opens up the book about the monsters of the Zebralands.
There are plenty of rare beasts of legend, and Emerald reads about the Grootslang, a southern zebraland species of snake that can grow up to 60 feet long, a semi-incorporeal creature called the ghost ape or the Bili Ape, and the Mokèlé-mbèmbé, which apparently some sort of modern dinosaur.
He also reads about more common monstrous creatures, such as the “hond moordenaar”, which is apparently some cross of an arachnid and dog that lives near the mountainous regions, a creatures very similar to a chimera called a “gif stert” that breathes poison smog, and a variety of slime that hides among plant foliage for unsuspecting prey.
Emerald also finds an entry on the Giant Wasps that Joyride was speaking about.
