Phew! That's it, assuming I don't think of more creatures. I'm already thinking of having different ecological "theme zones" in western Markania. The deserts of Eris and Narvus are home to reptiles, lots of giant reptiles. The poison jungles of Dushan are filled with giant insects. The icy wastes of Sakata are the home to wild robotic creatures and artificial life forms. The plains east of the Loka Loka mountains are where you find the mammals. There is some bleed over of course. You're going to find giant insects and robot bears in the deserts of Eris too. 

Anyway, here's a sample.

Spiny Spider

Spiny spiders are man-sized tarantula-like spiders covered in needle-sharp quills. Spiny spiders are carrion scavengers like hyenas or vultures. They follow other predators hoping to let other creatures do the hunting. They move in after a kill has already been made and hope their quills keep the other carnivores away.

Characteristics

Unarmed Parry: The spiny spider takes no damage from performing the Unarmed Block reaction against a melee attack.
Quills: The long body quills of the spiny spider make it difficult to fight in personal combat. Anyone making a hand-to-hand or melee attack must succeed at a skill test [Agility + Evasion +1d20 vs 15 (Difficult)] as a free reaction to avoid the quills and make the attack. Failure means the attacker could not get close enough to make the attack or made the attack and took 1D6 damage (attacker’s choice). Alternatively, the player may ignore the skill test and make an attack anyway but will take 1D6 damage.

Attacks

Bite: Major; 2m (1); +7 melee attack; 1d8+3.
