A wild creature appears!

Xolgar

Xolgars are giant birds native to tropical islands. When they hunt, they will pick up a strip of bark from a tree and carry it in their beaks, which they then use to create a makeshift hardnet to trap fish in the water. Once a fish has been caught, the xolgar will fly back up to a nearby tree, unroll the bark, and eat the fish. Because of their size, most other animals in their environments leave the xolgar alone.

#001 Haissa

Haissa are a friendly species distantly related to frogs. They spend most of their time climbing trees to find great vantage points to observe the ongoings of life below and have been known to purposefully shake branches to drop food for hungry creatures below.

#070 Cycti

Cycti are an artificial race created by infusing gorilla DNA in a spliced cactus-bramble plant that evolved sentience and intelligence only a year after inception. Now, they roam the deserts with armies of sub-humans blindly following their vast intelligence, strength, and survival skills. Their name is naturally pronounced with unnatural vocal sounds, but humans typically call them "kicks".

#002 Quixole

This highly-intelligent bug establishes and oversees mutli-special insect colonies using a pheromone that encourages teamwork. Large sales of their serum are government-controlled and extremely expensive, but large cities typically keep at least a few quixoles for as-needed infusions into the city's water supply.

#005 Thabu

Thabus are hulking creatures of ancient history that have survived over time by melding with mountains and hibernating. They awake every thousand or so years to see if the world is a better place, but a thabu invariably goes back to sleep after each short period awake. No one is sure what exactly they're waiting for.

#083 Weretree

When a werebeing sheds blood into groundwater, in some rare cases a nearby tree may absorb it and transform into a weretree. After around six weeks of transformation time, the weretree's bark feels rubbery; the branches grow large, meaty muscles; a face may form, though often lacks the vocal cords to speak; and a coveted Essence Tree may sprout directly from its wooden heart, producing nectar, ambrosia, and colorful fruits. Farmers lucky enough to have a weretree born on their farm benefit greatly from the weretree's harvest, but also inexplicably become targets for jealous neighbors.

#219 Flailx

Flailx are oddball "fish" that photosynthesize their oxygen from the sun, severely limiting the nautical areas they may call home. However, flailx are extremely adept at holding their breath for long periods of time (sometimes for days!) and will venture into the deep sea to frolick along the seafloor alongside other schools of fish. They will, however, frequently return to the surface for more air and to re-warm their bodies in the sun after spending much time submerged. It is theorized that the flailx are a "reverse-evolution" of land mammals turned nautical, and that ancient flailx had long, spider-like legs.

#260 Bulthoid

Bulthoids are rare creatures that live in almost every environment. Despite their strange appearance, bulthoids are actually a very intelligent race, capable of tool use and engineering. Bulthoid society is built on a system of meritocratic communism with a focus on community support and direct communication, where everyone votes and participates in the political processes of their community. This inherent group effort makes bulthoid societies extremely resiliant to both local predators and more existential threats in their chosen ecosystems.

#285 Vcunkrx

The behemoth vcunkrx are the center of the desert ecosystem, or at least the top of it. Vcunkrx are extremely resilient to both internal and external threats and can survive for years without water or food, instead drawing their energy from the ambient heat of the desert and the kinetic energy of compacted sand. Unlike most other organisms, vcunkrx aren't a carbon-based life-form; rather, their underlying genetic composition consists of a material similar to ceramics, which is believed to have resulted in their solid, hard bodies. Vcunkrx horns are worth a fortune to poachers, but are almost impossible to acquire.

#320 Blithodurc

Blithodurcs are strange creatures also known as the "silent ones." They have no mouths and instead subsist on a diet of ambient radiation and sunlight. They are about the size of a pea and are made of twisted and fused boneshards of many different animals. They move incredibly slowly and quietly and will often spend days just stretching, observing the people and other creatures of their environs. It is possible for a blithodurc to form a close bond with a sentient life form and become deeply attached to them; however, these relationships are usually short-lived, as the blithodurc will eventually become enamored with another person, who will then become the center of their attention. If a blithodurc is deeply saddened by the loss of their friend, they will sometimes stop moving and die within a few days.
