A wild creature appears!

Scrut

Scruts live in the deep north, where they burrow long distances through snow and dirt in search of their next meal. They secrete a natural, sticky antifreeze through their fur which prevents their small bodies from freezing. Although they live largely-vegetarian lives, they have been known to eat whatever happens to be available when starving.

#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.

#050 Mahaman

Mahaman that are humanoid birds that exist partially outside of time, which manifests visually with the eponymously-named phenomenon mahamans are known for: superpositions of their body in several simultaneous slices of time appear in tandem to others, which results in creatures that look blurry, morphing, and duplicated.

#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.

#035 Desert Decot

The desert variation is a little rarer than the common decot and typically lives in isolation in abandoned structures in the desert. Its long hair is actually paper-thin and provides shielding against the sun and sandstorms without much added warmth. They use their large claws to dice cacti into around a week's worth of meals per cactus and use their long hair to tie each piece to their body until it's eaten.

#147 Herling

The herling is a small bird about the size of a housecat. They are mostly harmless, but are often pests because of their tendency to steal and hoard shiny objects. A herling will take any object that catches their eye, including jewelry, coins, pencils, pens, forks, spoons, knives, scissors, and anything else they can carry. They usually hide these objects in the hollows of trees or other dark recesses of their environment. They are also known for the bright red feathers that emit a slight luminescent glow in low light.

#113 Vune Ballow

Small vune ballow dragons are commonly found throughout the world. They are covered in beautifully prismatic scales and are able to fly short distances, but tire quickly. Depending on the color of their eyes, they can typically breathe a small amount of fire or ice. They very greatly in size depending on the region, ranging roughly from the size of a caterpillar to the size of a snake. While some vune ballows are hostile and dangerous, many are friendly and playful.

#311 Quammoth

The quammoth (a portmanteau of "aqua" and "mammoth" popularized by the eastern Squib coasters) is an aquatic mammoth-like mammal that calls oceanic vents home. These gigantic creatures are too large and heavy to swim; instead, they stand on four thick legs and walk along the seafloor. Quammoths offset their limited mobility by using dozens of lengthy tentacles to defend themselves, hunt small fish for food, and manipulate their environment. These tentacles have a stiff, wood-like skin that ancient Squib used to make canoes out of.

#296 Jaxilith

Jaxilives are large shapeshifters that appear as a swarm of blue flies when dormant. When a jaxilith is threatened, it will transform into a larger worm-like creature. This njaxilith form is covered in sharp red scales and flies with a small set of translucent wings that emit a small amount of blue light. Jaxilith temperament is short and aggressive, quickly swarming and overwhelming any potential threats to their home. Nowadays, the remaining jaxilives are said to live in underground caverns, where they indiscriminately prey on anything that isn't blue. Experimental testing of a severed jaxilith lens revealed that blue is actually the one color this small shapeshifter can't physically see. Some cultures have historically dissolved ground Kjaxilith scales into teas as a precursory version of antidepressants. Although the jaxilith presents itself as a swarm of flies while dormant, it's still only a single decentralized organism — and just as lonely.

#363 Wrappit

Meet the wrappit! These mischievous creatures are often found traveling by hitching rides on discarded wrapping paper or nestled inside gifts. With their small, gremlin-like bodies and scruffy fur, wrappits are sure to make a memorable impression to those who least expect them. Although they may look cute and cuddly, wrappits are known for their love of chaos and mischief. They have a particular fondness for shredding paper, whether it's the wrapping paper from a present or important documents left lying around. They particularly like paper that has been written on, and even moreso like paper which contains written fiction or worldbuilding. One fun detail about wrappits is their love of practical jokes. They have been known to hide in cupboards and jump out to surprise unsuspecting passersby, to switch the contents of gift boxes, to steal cookies and other treats, or to rearrange decorations in the dead of night. As for their diet, wrappits are known to munch on bits of paper and ribbon with their cookies, as well as the occasional piece of fruit or veggie. They have a particular fondness for pine cones and holly berries. But don't let their mischievous nature fool you — wrappits are also fiercely loyal friends. They have a special bond with those who show them kindness and respect, and will go out of their way to bring joy and laughter to their human companions.
