A wild creature appears!

Mollang

Mollang are small marsupials often found throughout wetlands and jungles. They live long lives despite the poisonous fungus that commonly grows on their short fur, which also protects them from most predators thanks to the highly-contagious nature of the fungi's toxins. However, these same toxins keep the mollang in a perpetually semi-sick state where they constantly sneeze and leak fluids that can cause physical damage to trees, brush, and other animals. Although each mollang builds up a small tolerance to their own fur's toxins, they rarely spend enough time with other mollang to expand that protection; therefore, mollang often live long, solitary, sickly lives and are actively avoided by nearly all other life that may cross their path.

#090 Ekkast

The ekkast is a vicious creature that moves on eight legs but can slither through loose ground like a snake, and often feasts on large mammals. While young ekkasts are small enough to use natural rock structures for protection, the adult ekkasts burrow deep into the earth and make long, winding tunnels for themselves and their large families.

#067 Winter Veln

Winter velns hide from predators by appearing flat or misfigured from a clever use of optical illusion camoflage, but they're actually typically very fat creatures. They eat snow and do a sort of reverse-photosynthesis, producing energy from darkness. Because of their plumpness, veln are a prized delicacy for almost every other creature in the famined tundras they inhabit. They strictly stick to a "reproduction cycle" that occurs approximately every six years, laying anywhere from sixty to eighty eggs per nest.

#095 Scotty

Believe it or not, scotties are actually descendants of dinosaurs! Scientists discovered a fourth classification of dinosaur, subterranean, during the disastrous decades-long journey to drill toward the planet's core for more resources. The scotties now kept as pets are a highly-domesticated breed meant to bring back the nostalgia and companionship of dogs for older generations.

#272 Gwievft

Gwievft are large, aquatic eels that are typically found in underwater mycelium caverns, although they sometimes explore more open waters. Gwievft have an extremely venomous bite that can completely paralyze dolphins, sharks, and humans within hours and lead to death shortly after. During this time, the gwievft toxin has opium-like effects in the victim that work to keep it calm and avoid struggling. Gwievft toxins have been successfully extracted by natives for use in sacrificial and ceremonial drinks for centuries, although ranching them is an extremely dangerous job.

#218 Sihzzh

A sihzzh is an aquatic creature with a variety of strange habits related to constantly shedding its hardened skin. They usually live in large lakes or in the briny depths of the ocean, where they prowl the water in an almost never-ending search for food. Sihzzh are not social creatures and will easily fight to the death over a single fish. Luckily, even when a sihzzh is hurt, it can heal quickly by exposing its wounds to the sun; after a few hours, all injuries will be completely mended, and the sihzzh will go back to hunting.

#161 Adrakas

The adrakas is a giant leathery fish about the size of a small city. Its highly porous skin allows it to breathe in the water or on land, and its mouth is designed to eat all manner of creatures, from mammals to plants to rocks. The adrakas lifespan has yet to be determined, but they've been reported to have endured through more planetary-scale changes and geologic periods than mankind has. They have no known predators.

#265 Trogurp

Trogurps are small, brightly-colored insects that are typically found in the forests of the world. They eat leaves and other plant matter and are covered in a thick chitinous shell. Male trogurps can be aggressive towards one another and will duel for the right to mate with a female. These duels are often deadly and can take place for hours, with the victor often being a trogurp that has lost most of its legs or wings. After finding a mate, the wounded trogurp will hitch a ride on its new mate until its limbs have grown back.

#350 Ddeinn

The ddeinn roams swamps and lava fields looking for fresh meat in an endless pursuit of food. Although ddeinns are strict carnivores, they have no preference on what meat they eat, often resorting to cannibalism or rotten meat when alternatives are scarce. Ddeinn's powerful wings allow them to traverse long distances quickly; whether they're swooping in from miles above or charging along the ground, there are few creatures that can escape this predator's razor-sharp, hungry maw. Ddeinn emit so much heat from their body that they can cook meat by sleeping on it, but this vast energy exodus is also what requires them to constantly be on the hunt for more, more, more.

#300 Orimpa

Orimpas are small and fluffy creatures that resemble a cross between a squirrel and a small cat. They have large ears and a long, bushy tail, and their bodies are covered in soft, gray fur. Some regional variations also develop white or orange spots in their fur. Orimpas are extremely intelligent and have excellent memories; they also have a good sense of smell and can hear very low-frequency sounds. Orimpas are generally peaceful creatures, but are known to become very violent when threatened. They live in large groups and spend most of their time foraging for food. Their favorite food is acorns and sunflowers, which they crush on rocks to form a mixed powder that they sprinkle on other foods for flavor.
