The Creeks for heroic stature and independence; pregnancy isn't dangerous to Creeks. Graul an entirely construct race of supersoldiers. Spiders. Innumerable critters. "Crunchers" were apparently created when some sorcerer found a triceratops skeleton and said, "Bwa-ha-ha! It shall live again!"

The latter "overwhelms your mind with raw psychic noise, paralyzing all volition. Eventually you fall over and more eventually, you rot, which helps make new weeds." Luckily for the folks of the Creeks, Halt brought with her a breed of multi-ton, fire breathing, steel-wooled sheep-things named Eustace and they quite enjoy munching almost every type of weed.
