#037 Lesser Cagespider

Named after the bony appendages they use to trap live prey with on their back, the lesser cagespider is a terrifying sight to behold. Unlike their larger variants, these cagespiders are only about the size of a large oak tree. They typically prey on ogres, giants, elephants, and other larger animals.

#370 D'eggio

This fearsome matriarch stalks egg-laying creatures in swamps and wetlands until it finds the perfect time to strike, then takes over their prey's egg-laden nest as if it were their own. D'eggios will lay on top of eggs for days or weeks at a time while tendril-like spikes on their underside piece each egg with microscopic holes and inject their own DNA directly into the egg, resulting in abominable mutant creatures that are more like d'eggios than their original species, although both parts often show through. Although most d'eggio offspring don't live long enough to reproduce, some variants can completely take over an entire biome with the right genetics.

#011 Ssene

Ssenes are strange, shapeshifting creatures that configure parts of their body to mimic specific features of any creatures they see, rather than transforming into a copy of their whole body. This "bioremixing" property typically results in horrible, unnatural amalgamations depending on what creatures each ssene has seen recently.

#043 Volcrano

Every volcano has at least one volcrano maintaining it. They do their best to keep out of sight but volcranos are bulky and slow. Volcanos as a species have been fate-bound to feed the volcanic lava until the end of time in order to keep it from seeking food outside of the volcano. It's the instinct they have immediately upon birth and it's the instinct they'll still be mindlessly striving for upon their inevitable death.

#061 Dirb

Dirbs are flightless birds that wander fields looking for seeds and other small scraps of food. Their legs are incredibly thin and often crack or break with the slightest bump or stumble, but they heal quickly. Dirb meat is bland but filling and they are easy prey for anything that's hungry.

#129 Axytun

Axytuns are a small species of landfish native to the rolling fields of the east. Although axytuns are naturally pitch black, albinism is so rampant in the species that black axytuns are often captured and resold as expensive pets. They are born in litters of ten to twenty, and are kept together in a pack by the same mother for their entire lives. Axytun packs are very loyal to each other and will aggressively squeak at any creature that threatens one of their own.

#141 Wartbug

The large wartbug is native to warmer forests on southern coasts, but has slowly spread throughout the continents over the years. They are about as large as a dog and primarily feed on berries and small forest-dwelling rodents. Wartbug shells are renowned for their durability and often sell for a high price. When a Wartbug is threatened in the wild, they will dig their feet into the ground to anchor themselves in place and then hide within their shell; predators will eventually give up versus their inpenetrable shell, but hunters and merchants will typically just cut off the wartbug's legs and haul the large body back to civilization.

#291 Vorivo'r

The vorivo'r is a small alpine creature that lives in the snowy mountains. It is covered in burred fur, with a small round body and a large head. It is about the size of a human hand, and feeds on small insects and worms. Vorivo'rs run with a distinctive, scuttling gait that is easy to mistake for a spider. During warmer winters, vorivo'rs will burrow deep underground to hibernate. While hibernating, they snore so loudly the ground may rumble at times.

#365 Pin-yoch

Pin-yoch are microscopic organisms that manifest and control hordes of large, humanoid spirits that can leap up to 100 feet in the air. Pin-yoch use these ethereal puppets to gather resources and defend themselves against predators, but also to enjoy themselves through the art of dance. Pin-yoch are best capable of manipulating the physical world through their spirits, using them to move objects and even create complex structures and reusable tools. Pin-yoch communicate with each other through a series of clicks and chirps, which are repllicated and amplified through their puppet spirits. These sounds are inaudible to the human ear, but can be picked up by other pin-yoch within a mile radius. The puppet spirits are also able to mimic the sounds and movements of other creatures, which helps the pin-yoch gather information or avoid danger by manipulating would-be predators. Pin-yoch are difficult to study as they are so small and elusive, but scientists believe they have a complex reproductive system that involves the merging of multiple pin-yoch to create a new organism. This process is still not fully understood and is a subject of much research and speculation. Overall, pin-yoch are fascinating creatures that continue to intrigue scientists and mystics alike with their unique abilities and behaviors.
