[edit] Tropical Shrubland
A fairly common biome, shrublands represent the first step away from forests towards treeless maps. Trees and other vegetation are certainly present in useful numbers, but nowhere as thick as the forest and swamp sites. On a temperate shrubland, a lack of large predators is a plus, but the troublesome creatures that do show up will likely appear in packs (i.e. wolves and macaques). Unlike the cooler temperate shrubland, tropical shrublands have far more dangerous wildlife, including the dreaded elephant.

[edit] Real world example(s)
On Earth, tropical shrublands can be found in a number of regions, with the largest concentration being the East African bushlands in Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Sudan and Somalia. Temperate shrublands in the Freezing or Cold range would be considered moors, such as the well-known examples in the British Isles. Temperate, Warm and Hot shrublands would be considered heaths, as represented by the Australian "bush country", and parts of California and South Africa.
