Description
Some domesticated beasts from my worldbuilding project. Limited to land animals and the larger of the species (there's other species like domesticated arthropods that wouldn't really "fit" in this sort of image). The main story and most of the worldbuilding focus on this island nation called Ditovo (I'm not super fond of the name but that's what I'm currently going with anyway).

Species (starting with the "top row" of larger species, going from left to right)

Kvelys
A large bovine-like creature not native to Ditovo. It's been introduced by international traders and especially the powerful Free Twine Company who see big potential turning Ditovian wilderness into vast pasture lands. The kvelys are raised for meat and hide. Despite their double horn they're fairly docile most of the time.

Leseyn
Is another species not native to Ditovo. Walking on four legs but can run much faster on two, it's used mainly for riding but it's not widely spread among the common populace of Ditovo. The one long claw on each foot is a formidable weapon and the thick mane on the neck protects the male leseyn from wounds when fighting one another for territory and females.

Tenki
A large species native to Ditovo. It's strong but not very smart and is used as beasts of burden and pulling carts, plows, raft and barges. Due to its low intelligence it's difficult to ride and is usually needed to be led by a handler.

Mazmoa
This huge animal is exclusively a beast used by the mazmozaz people who base their entire culture around it. In Ditovo it appears with mazmozaz mercenaries but is a rare and awe-inspiring sight, each mazmoa can carry up to five heavily armed warriors on its back and neck. It requires a special diet of crimson algae, also exclusive to it's native domain, to maintain its reddish pink color and health.

Bosra
The bosra is not actually domesticated but it is ridden by the people of furs and glass - a nomadic minority of Ditovo. The people of furs and glass capture young bosra in the wilderness and raises them but there's only a few years when the bosra is big enough to be ridden before it reaches full adulthood and becomes too wild and dangerous at which point its released back into nature. The older the bosra gets the more of its fur on its underside of the neck, torso and tail falls out revealing its fearsome spikes.

Nak
A small goat-like creature. It's related to the kvelys and is also not native to Ditovo. Just like the kvelys it got a beak-like mouth that forms into a defensive weapon, in this case a helmet like structure used for headbutting.

Tanglefur hoof-hound
None of the hoof-hounds are native to Ditovo but this breed has become quite adaptive to the land's rural life, commonly guarding the waterlogged fields and fish farms. Its thick fur protect it from the cold of the water as well as from various parasites and other bite-y pests that thrives in the swampy environment.

Common hoof-hound
The most common breed of hoof-hound. Good for various of tasks from guarding to hunting to simply being a nice companion. It comes in many different colors and temperaments.

Baok
A beast of burden favored by Ditovian locals who venture into the deep wilderness of the land. It's strong and hardy, facing little issue with navigating swamps and thick forests.

Bristefur hoof-hound
A rare breed of hoof-hound for folks of a higher standing. Its well renowned for its abilities in hunting, fighting and guarding. The hairs of its coat form spikes as a layer of protection.
