concept: Gaireeth The Hill Stomper - by Phil Holland
"During my travels across Clinso Ridge I came across a somewhat astonishing sight. I found myself at the peak of the mountian staring at what the locals call a 'Gaireeth The God of Hills'. At first I feared greatly that this would be my final sight, however I soon learned that this monster of a creature was friendly. And perhaps a more shocking bit of information was that in fact this giant can communicate in our native tongue. It would appear that he has protected the local villagers for several hundred years. I was fascinated by all of this and decided to see if I could somehow speak to the beast. He briefly in a deep voice explained that he left his home from deep southern hills of Koroj during a war that apparently separated several factions of his people. He spoke of bloodshed and extreme agony, yet Gaireeth has a hopeful twinge in his voice. He says he knows that others survived and one day they will be united. I asked him how he knew of this and he told me 'a little bird told me'."

Have you seen them? Last known whereabouts of Ionima and Arginald Crig: First Hillocks of Srinagar
3rd Rising, 10th Major Mark of the one hundredth year passing of the P.L.C.E (Post Ludditic Crusadic Era)
I begin this report with some rather delightful news to the Supreme Ludditian Committee. We have lost but only three Dourge's in the last month with the following associated casualties:
1)Hibberster Kalwinkles
2)Ionima Crig (wife of following)
3)Arginald Crig
Stibenard Auglend sustained some crushing wounds along his left side...he's alright now.
This represents a marked decline (calculated by beads and fingers) in the number of deaths and disabilities. Far below last year passing's height of five thousand per week.
In terms of progress I must also announce that the last of what the fallen elitist intellectual empire called the "Himilayan Range" is no more. A master yardsman has measured it's height (by the only instrument allowed on hand, his thumb of course) to be a mere half a meter above sea level.
It has taken more than five thousand teams fifty years at the cost of one hundred thousand lives...but this milestone should set a worthy example to all those who dare hold the subversive thought of a world that is not indeed flat.
I daresay the gall of anyone to hold such a filthy notion. Heresy I say!
Teams have also reported that the 'Alps' are well under control...as are the 'Urals' and we look to the stubborn 'Atlas' range in the coming year.
Oh the glory of Earth as it was intended by the maker....flat from horizon to horizon. To his glorious intelligent design we commit ourselves.
Yours,
Hingbricker Levelspurn
(Eastern Hemispheric Operations Co-ordinator)
P.s. You may or may not find attached (by sticky resin) a monitary pledge form for the orphaned Crig children. Give generously...so that they too may follow their parent's shining example.

concept: The hills are alive with the sound of...STOMP!!!!
Ever wonder how Earth's terrain got to be the way it is today? We know from studying geological formations that obvious formations like lakes, rivers, and canyons are all formed from water drainage. Mountain ranges are formed from tectonic plates moving against one another in opposite directions. But what about other less obvious formations like prairies, meadows, and the plains that are scattered throughout the world? Any answers that scientists may come up with could be true but there is one reason that they might not know about, Glomp von Stompp.
Glomp has been recorded into history ever since man was aware of his own existence. Being one of a kind, this gigantic mass of a beast has been carved into cave walls, written into books, painted into paintings, and sung about in songs. Much of these recordings have also told about great destruction that often result in earthquakes and other natural disasters. Not a whole lot is known about Glomp other than that there are long periods of time where there are no recordings of his appearances. We 're not sure why there are gaps and we don't know what causes him to stir from his slumber. The last recorded appearance was in Austria in the 1930's where a series of hills and a family who liked to sing upon the tops of them mysteriously disappeared within minutes.

Gloklund:
concept: The Wandering Perhamish Hill Stomper
The race of Perhamish Hill Stomper's are a cheerful lot, most sleep lazily throughout any given day till starlight when they appear drunkenly wandering the hilly landscape to which they are so accustomed. They are awkward and clumsy in their gate which resembles that of a Bansailien toddler just learning to walk. These creatures are relatively harmless as long as you don't get caught in their unpredictable path.

Matt Dixon:
concept: The Tale of the Hill Stomper
Pity the people of Beantrickle Mills,
Who build their small homes on the tops of round hills;
For that land is the home of a twelve-toed aggressor,
That presses their dwellings with terrible pressure.
This bully's main hobby is leaping aloft,
Searching for houses he hasn't yet squashed.
Once spied, he approaches, with cunning so smart,
Then launches himself with a thunderous fart.
He crushes the village, once peaceful and sweet,
And licks up his lunch from the soles of his feet.

Main Loop:
concept: Artic Hill Dweller
This species generally doesnt stomp any hill larger than an average mole hill or ant hill, but he has found that stomping on large hills attracts prettier female AHD's.. This means he gets to score a lot more than the average AHD, thus making him a true playa for real..

concept: There is only one relligious docturine in the hills below the purple mountains of Gustar, "If you want to live a long life build, tall, build pointy and...."
it has been handed down in a badly burnt manuscript for thousands of years, the problem is the all important burnt bit had the best advice,
"build in a valley, build of brick and stone and iron, no wood or thatch, no wattle or dawb is to be used for construction of your houses. For when the Fatarsed Stompovirous comes he'll crush your home to splinters."
The Stompovirous' diet consists entirely of Mammogul eggs found in their nests high in the purple mountains. The shells of the eggs are a foot thick and solid granite, no tooth or claw could possibly open them from the outside. That is why the Stompovirous swallows the egg whole by opening its trisected mouth and locking the top of its erectile horn into a pocket in its back expanding its throat and jumping face first at the pointy end of the egg. Once inside the Stompovirous turns the egg up the other way and leaps off the nearest precipice bouncing on its hardened backside and pushing off again with its giant feet, from hill top to hill top.

concept: Termite Hill Stomper
This creature uses its powerful claws and hind legs to stomp through the tough walls of the termite hills. It then uses its long tongue and claw to catch its juicy prey.

MIKECORRIERO:
concept: Walking Nature
This gigantic living land mass is given the name "Hill Stomper" by the natives. The native inhabitants of this region owe thier lush beautiful scenery to the Walking miracle of mother Nature which provides nourishment,water,flowers,trees,oxygen and a home to the birds in the sky. It appears from far back in the hills walking through the mist and fog shaking the ground for miles as it makes its nightly rounds of feeding the land in which it lives. This miracle of nature houses thousands of birds and disappears without a trace before dawn.

concept: The Bounding Bluff!
Ah yes, the day is not complete unless you’ve spent a spell watching the cavorting ways of the Bounding Bluff! See it prance hither and thither in giant leaps and bounds upon the hilltops rousting, better yet, launching(!) resident mound moles into the air. Seeing how they deftly catch the litter critters with one of their three, whip-like tongues is truly amusing to observe.

prostate sunrise:
concept: The Verdant Strider of the Kamorian Plains is a wonderful creature of ill repute. Known mostly for devastating the hill country during the spring, they are not well understood. Most do not realize the true reason that the Striders stomp the hills during spring.
For in actuallity during the spring the beautiful Ardur Blossum blooms, covering the hills in a swath of pastel brilliance and filling the air with sweet, sweet smells that the mind can barely contain, let alone comprehend.
But what little do people know, is that the Ardur Blossum is the sign that a female Strider is in heat. That the aroma of the bloosums send the Bull Striders into a frenzy. In their passion and ardor, the Bulls rut the country side driven by sight and smell of the blossum.
Which is why you never step into the gooey mess of a Striders passing.
