River Creatures

The small folk of the rapids. All fan-made fictional creatures.

Foam sprites

Tiny giggling beings born from burst bubbles. They live for one splash — literally; a foam sprite's whole life is the arc of a droplet. Whit employs them as messengers, scouts, and, during the Flood Festival, confetti. They consider this a great honor.

Fan-made

Current-eels

Sleek eels of glowing teal light that swim inside the current rather than through the water — visible only as bright streaks. They mark the fastest line through a rapid, and racers follow them. Captain Heron insists they're just "light on water." The eels decline to comment.

Fan-made

Stoneback turtles

Slow, ancient turtles whose shells are single smooth river stones, polished by centuries. They remember every flood. Old Eddy's oldest friend is a stoneback named Bank, who has been crossing the same pool since before the Falls had a name. Whit finds Bank "deeply suspicious" and visits weekly.

Fan-made

Silt imps

Damstone's muddy hench-spirits — technically creatures, technically the enemy. See Rivals.
