Sacred Beasts
Sacred Beasts are ancient animals who evolve enough to practice the sacred arts. They can advance through the ranks, even to become a Lord or a Monarch. The Herald of the desert, dubbed the “Beast King,” is friends with sacred beasts in the Wasteland, near the Blackflame Empire.
"If a fox or a turtle survived their first century, they would absorb enough vital aura from the world around them to ascend into sacred beasts. These animals cycled madra, advanced in power, and left Remnants just as humans did. The oldest of them could even speak, and legends said some could take human forms." ― Will Wight, Unsouled pg7[source]
