Atraphors are native to most of the forested regions of the First Plateau. They are large predators, and are usually not much of a threat to adapoi, humans or youda. The atraphors of the Tadooban Forest, however, have been trained and seeded by the Ganbell Clan of adapoi to hunt and attack humans and deyrey. The Ganbell have done this to pursue their vendetta against the inhabitants of the city of Kashaad: by making the forest impassable for humans, the Ganbell can insure that Kashaad remains isolated from Paiden and the Outsider communities around the Paiden River.
