#056 Bertuisk

Bertuisks are large airfish that live above the clouds in large schools. Although they largely stay out of sight and move from area to area with the clouds, some cities will mount air attacks on the giant fish to keep too many from clustering. A single bertuisk typically feeds a whole city for a week.

#078 Etorg

Etorgs are the living skeletal remains of eternal giants. Although most have grown bored of life and live solitary lives atop mountains or in colossal underground caves, younger etorgs will sometimes adopt a city, curl up around it, and patiently watch generations of lives unfold. Etorgs also love sandwiches, which they occasionally make by uprooting entire forests to squish between two slabs of planetary crust.

#044 Zweifhlaightte

Zweifhlaughttes are colossal slugs from a time long before humans that have an interesting physiological compartmentalization not present in other species on the planet. The majority of the body remains buried underground in self-dug caves, while smaller pieces of the body detach and claw their way up to the surface, where they hunt for small animals. After they've consumed an excess of nutrients, the hunting appendages return underground and rejoin with their host body.

#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.

#214 Ithant

Ithants are huge, crab-like creatures that can be found in the forests. The sound of their heavy footsteps is sometimes mistaken for the sound of falling trees. Ithants have six legs and are very quiet, only making loud noises when walking. Ithants are capable of running extremely long distances in a short amount of time due to their long legs, but they don't have the endurance to run for very long.

#234 Xlidngh

The xlidngh is a small, flying creature that continuously secretes a sweet-smelling pheremone from its third eye, located on its body. This pheromone attracts nearby creatures of all shapes and species in an almost trance-like state, where they will follow nearby xlidnghs wherever they go. While these small creatures often use this ability to lure would-be predators to their death (and score themselves a nice dinner or two), they also seem to frequently lead animals in need to where they should go, whether they're lost, looking for their family, or looking for food/water. It is unknown whether or how xlidnghs communicate, but they generally seem to be friendly and good-natured.

#257 Volagena

Volagenas are a species of squid-like creatures that are also extremely large. They are carnivorous and exist as top-level predators in their environment. They use their powerful tentacles to gracefully move through the water, and can even use them to grip obstactles for leverage and throw themselves at high speeds through the water. Adult volagenas rarely venture out of the deep oceans, but when they do they are often a terror to the entire ecosystem, as well as any passing ships.

#263 Vindsmen

After the devastating CK-295 meteor impact, what little life survived on planet P-192-856B had to radically evolve in order to survive the planet's new radioactive atmosphere. Vindsmen were once a variant of the common earth ape whose DNA began to diverge shortly after being seeded onto the planet; however, the few changes that occurred prior to CK-295 were dwarfed by its impact. Vindsmen have largely migrated from forests and jungles to caves deep underground, where they eat mushrooms, small plants, and insects. Most notably, vindsmen have evolved an amorphous muscular system that allows them not only to reshape their body at will, but also to combine with other vindsmen into a singular entity. Although rare, some sightings have reported gigantic vindsmen clusters of hundreds of connected apes. Vindsmen have a short lifespan due to an extremely high frequency of cancer.

#114 Rolglu

Rolglu are large, bristly bears that never stop migrating. They have six legs, detachable paws, and stand about eight feet tall. They are herbivores and will often follow farmers' plows, eating the freshly dug roots and other plants that are uncovered. Rolglu tend to be very friendly and will often secretly crawl into merchant boats to be carried around the world; however, their size makes them dangerous to keep aboard and merchants will often push them into the ocean upon discovery, forcing them to swim back to land. While they can be found anywhere around the world, they largely prefer the cold tundras where their thick pelt doesn't cause them to overheat.
