A lot of /morig/'s more unique fauna is quite dependent on the land's magical energy, so they don't tend to spread too far and wide (thankfully). I do have a concept for a brightly colored, horned bird of prey with a plumage of orange and yellow, which would fill a niche similar to the golden eagle and accordingly have spread across the whole continent due to the large areas patrolled by each individuals (inspired by Coco). It's found even up in the mountains of /morig/, since it can use its internal fire to keep itself warm even in frigid conditions.
I also think the skull-yaks, which are basically yaks that have developed a complete bone helmet to ram stuff even harder, could be found in other countries, since they make for great beasts of burden in any alpine terrains and climates, and aren't as dependent on the local magic.
