List of Fablehaven's Magical Creatures - K-O

K-O

Karkadann

Huge rhinoceros-like creatures that reside in Living Mirage. Kendra spots one being carried off by a Roc. Warren warns that it would be fatal if they encountered a karkadann.

Kobolds

Kobolds are evil animals, related to goblins. Kendra saw one in Rise of the Evening Star. His name was Casey Hancock and appeared as a strikingly handsome boy. Only Kendra could see him as an ugly Kobold. He had a bald head, rancid breath, and wooed some of Kendra friends out on dates.

Lammasu

Enormous winged bulls with a man's head. They are creatures of light, and Kendra, Warren and Bracken must pass one called Halad to escape the dungeon. They live at Living Mirage and are called upon by the Fairy Queen to battle the demons that have escaped from Zyzyx.

Leprechaun

The Journal of Secrets explains that there is a magical pond somewhere on Fablehaven where a treasure hunter can capture a Leprechaun. In Book 5, Seth must catch a leprechaun named Cormac to retrieve items Patton Burgess left with him.

Leviathan

A Leviathan is one of the figurines that Thronis, the sky giant asks Seth to receive for him from the Dragon Temple. Once placed in water, the figure will turn into a real Leviathan and be obedient to the one who placed it there.

Lich

A type of undead creature said to reside in the Grim Marsh on Fablehaven. They have no connection to "Mr. Lich," the Sphinx's right-hand man and a viviblix (see above).

Lycanthrope

Essentially, a werewolf. Two of them are included in the ambush at Obsidian Waste. They look like a cross between a wolf and a bear.

Manticore

A lion with a man's head and a scorpion tail. They are creatures that reside in Living Mirage.

Milch Cow

Every magical preserve has one of these amazing animals, which in everything but size, appear like normal animals. However, they are enormous. They are magical beings that create the milk the fairies drink. It is this milk that allows mortals to see magical creatures. The milch cow at Fablehaven is called Viola and was already 100 years old when she was brought to Fablehaven. The Lost Mesa magical preserve has a similar but larger cow called Mazy. On a magical preserve in Greenland, they have a gigantic walrus that produces butter that has the same effect as the milk.

Minotaur

A creature that is part man, part bull. These make appearances in all of the books. In book 1, it is one of the creatures released with Bahumat. In book 2, Warren fights one who is placed to guard the way to the artifact in the inverted tower. In book 3, several are stationed to guard Kurisock's domain at the battle between light and dark creatures. In book 4, a minotaur is one of Agad's servants at Blackwell Keep. In book 5 some come with Torina Barker, a firedrake, Mirav and some gargoyles to kill Civia, last of the Eternals.

Necromancer

Patton Burgess mentioned to Seth that he needed the use of a Necromancer to secure passage with the entity in the captains cabin of the Lady Luck to Shoreless Isle.

Naiads

Or Water Nymphs. Beings that live underwater who live a life of mirth and frivolity. They dwell in the pond surrounding the Fairy Queen's Island Shrine. The naiads love to make fun of anyone else, and drown humans for fun. Lena, the housekeeper, is a former naiad who became mortal when she joined Patton Burgess and became his wife. She later was restored as a naiad at the end of Book 1. Some names of naiads in the series are: Chiatra, Narinda, Ulline, Hyree, Pina, Zolie, Frindle, and Jayka.
