A wild creature appears!

Jigbat

Jigbats are large insects that resemble blue bats. They can be found throughout the world's forests and feed on insects, small birds, and berries. They sting their prey with a powerful paralytic venom that stains the skin blue, which they often use when they are hunting together in groups of several dozen. After taking down prey for food, jigbats will often turn on each other and fight over their share, often stinging other jigbats in the process. Jigbats are immune to their own species' venom, but if a jigbat has been stung, it will become paralyzed for several days and will be unable to eat or defend itself from future attacks. During this time, they will often hide in caves or other natural openings until their strength returns.

#105 Girflet

Girflets are creatures typically found in the damp undergrowth at the base of forest cliffs. When disturbed, they will race away at high speed, firing off seedpods into the air. On the ground, these seedpods bury themselves into loose dirt and sprout into a full-grown tree, making girflets great for reforesting an area.

#041 Weiffalo

Weiffalo produce a seasonal wool that is as light as clouds. When Weiffalo have thick, natural coats, they love to ride strong gusts of wind around open fields, often bumping into each other both in the air and upon landing. Weiffalo also love to roll down large hills where their accumulated speed often launches them into the air if they encounter a small hill or large bump. When they're without their thick coat, their skin becomes irritable and easily broken during their typical tomfoolery.

#077 Fring

Frings are a species with the ability to change their size at will. Permanent aspects of their society like their homes and businesses are incredibly tiny and can only be seen or used while they're their smallest size, but they often size up when exploring their surroundings or adventuring together. They are able to survive off very little food and water by shrinking down when they eat.

#084 Hathawallow

Hathawallows are slow, bulky land walruses that choose to travel among packs of other species, forming symbiotic relationships wherever they go. The average hathawallow is incredibly smart and manipulative, often positioning itself to sacrifice those in its herd before any harm could possibly come to it. Hathawallow fur is coveted for its silky texture and warmness, and its stark, blue blubber can be used for a myriad of useful purposes. Tracking and bringing down a hathawallow is a fiscally-fruitful endeavor — as long as things go well for the hunters.

#373 Dounreleon

The dounreleon is a large multi-legged animal similar to that of a mule, with a chameleon like ability to change its coloration depending on location, temperature, and the temperament of the dounreleon. They have a stocky build, thick horns for protection and offense, and four sets of ears underneath their horns, with one set smaller than the other and used for listening for higher frequencies. Considered to be a luxury use for transportation and cargo-carrying for the upper class of people who have managed to somewhat domesticate it, they are highly sought out for their strength and seemingly endless endurance. But that combination allows for their testy attitudes to be known at any point, which is why domestication is still not entirely complete, and many people have died at random while involved with a dounreleon. Most are aggressive, with the females more likely to cause casualties than the males, and headstrong. If it's a unique dounreleon that you seek, then good luck not dying at any given point.

#168 Magmatuna

Magmatuna is a cursed mutation of the freshwater tuna, resulting in a scalding hot internal temperature that is immediately devastating to any aquatic ecosystem. Their molten skin causes rapid evaporation of entire lakes and rivers, completely obliterating the ecosystem and resulting in nothing but burn marks and leagues of dead fish in a dry basin. The sighting of any smoke or mass-evaporation in a body of water should be immediately reported to the nearest government body.

#278 Arang'raco

The arang'raco is a large lizard native to the deepest jungles. They are known for their vibrant and colorful scales and the immense sharpness of their front teeth. The arang'raco typically uses its teeth for display and for breaking through tough fruits, but it can also use them for fighting. They typically have a calm and gentle nature, but if they feel threatened by a hostile creature, they will use their powerful legs to leap toward their enemy. An arang'raco bite is usually enough to instantly subdue most predators.

#330 Jibbin

Jibbins are interesting tundra-dwelling creatures best known for their rapid growth and shrinking, with their size determined almost entirely by their mood (and most recent meal). Although they generally keep a scarce diet of nuts and berries scavenged from the snow, jibbins that find themselves too excited for too long will grow to an unsustainable size for all but the most fruitful of environments. When hunting jibbins, many locals will intentionally antagonize the creature to induce rapid growth before killing it, resulting in more spoils per kill. When left alone in a calm environment, a jibbin can live up to ten years.

#347 Spectrowl

This large avian is colloquially known as the "master of camouflage" because of the hard, spectral shards that cover its body. These scales contain thousands of prisms that capture ambient light and reflect a perfect representation of an uninterrupted atmosphere, effectively rendering the spectrowl invisible at most wavelengths. Because spectrowl shards are so delicate, their system camouflage can easily be damaged or disrupted in the event of a physical injury; when this happens, they have been known to reflect laser-focused beams of light that may temporarily or permanently blind those nearby. In ancient times, spectrowl were thought to be creatures from another dimension and were purposefully injured at large gatherings to produce great spectacles of light.
