#028 Ala Dimio

Ala dimios (commonly also referred to as just "alas") are descendents of ancient, magical dragons. While they lack the magical prowess of their ancestors, they've thrived physically and dominate the highest skies with wind attacks and a gigantic hammerhead.

#138 Glorbon

Commonly mistaken as large, black boulders, glorbons rarely ever move except to subtly shape small cavities at the base of their bulbous body. They then secrete a sweet-smelling fragrance to lure small critters into the holes, where they are quickly trapped and absorbed by the glorbon. Their extremely-slow metabolism allows glorbons to go years between meals. Although they are extremely hardy and durable, they also have no active defense mechanism and therefore fall prey to the more persistent of predators, such as humans. Glorbon chitin is often used in construction, providing great insulation and support.

#243 Banabat

Banabats are small, flying creatures of the night best known for their bright yellow coloring and unique reproduction cycle. Banabats are friendly to most species and primarily feed on tree sap by using their sharp teeth to pierce deep holes through bark. While feeding, an enzyme in their saliva mixes back into the tree, fertilizing it. After a tree is fertilized, it will start growing a patch of typically 12-14 additional banabats sprouting directly from its branches.

#174 Sanguaven

The night ravens with luminous, blood-red eyes in the south are colloquially known as sanguavens, although they've had many names throughout history. Sanguaven eyes have a unique reflective property that redshifts light and amplifies its reflection, resulting in their bright red eyes being visible in even pitch darkness, sometimes even miles away. These "demon dots", as some historical societies called them, formed the basis for many mythological stories, most notably the "All-Seeing Eyes" by Ronaldo Dominico. Although sanguavens are better understood now, they still instill a sense of unease and anxiety in those who see their glowing eyes, even from afar.

#329 Alsjepsel

The alsjepsel is a large reptile-mammal hybrid that frequents acidic swamps in the southern hemisphere. The alsjepsel were first discovered by Nin adventurers that mistook them for a demon and started a century-long crusade to wipe them out, which left a nearly extinct population. These days, alsjepsel have mostly been able to repopulate, but keep to themselves and stay far away from humans when possible. When threatened they may attack, but otherwise the alsjepsel is a generally docile herbivore.

#322 Ungarmel

When a creature is near, an ungarmel on the prowl will curl up in a ball and hover above the ground, doing its best to blend in with the environment in order to catch its prey unaware. When the time is right, the ungarmel will attack by releasing the creature inside it that drinks blood. After a successful hunt, the creature returns and eventually shares its spoils from inside the ungarmel.

#362 Fjasdijh

Fjasdijh are slender cat-like creatures who dwell deep in caves and reproduce quickly, sometimes giving birth to litters of up to ten offspring at a time. They are nocturnal, spending their days sleeping in underground burrows and emerging at night to hunt for insects and small rodents which they drag back to their cave. Their fur is thick and dark, providing excellent camouflage. Fjasdijh are known for their sharp claws and teeth, which they use to catch and kill their prey. They are also agile climbers and can scale the walls and ceilings of caves with ease. In addition to their hunting skills, Fjasdijh are skilled at digging and have been known to create intricate tunnel systems within the caves they've inhabited. Despite their fearsome appearance and predatory habits, Fjasdijh are social creatures and live in large groups called prides. Within these prides, the Fjasdijh have a complex system of communication and cooperation, with each member playing a specific role in the group's activities.

#132 Aeldatyr

Aeldatyr scales are golden and shiny, and imbued with powerful magic that allows them to create lightning. They grow to be very large, roughly the size of an elephant, and their scales are capable of reflecting sunlight, which makes them appear almost as if they are on fire when exposed to direct sunlight. Aeldatyrs are a feared predator, feeding primarily on large prey such as sheep, cows, horses, and humans. It is capable of eating almost anything it can get its teeth into. Aeldatyrs live in the shallow underground, in caves and tunnels that they have made with their claws. They are not very social creatures, preferring solitude over companionship. They emerge for adventure and sport as often as they do for food. The Aeldatyr is a highly intelligent creature that can speak many languages and understand human speech. It is a very curious creature and will often spend long periods of time observing humans.

#276 Vuvegge

Vuvegges are small insects common to forests and jungles that don't develop a sense of sight until a late stage of life. During their early "formative" years, vuvegges use their large eyeballs as sacs to store additional food or resources. Vuvegge packs are instantly recognizable by a unique hand-holding phenomenon. Elder vuvegges will lead familial packs using their developed eyesight while younger vuvegges will often specialize in collecting specific resources, storing as much as they can so they can provide to anyone in the group when needed. Even when passing resources between the pack, vuvegges will rarely unlink their hands and instead use an auxillary appendage to pass resources around the pack. Vuvegge packs move in perfect lockstep and are largely considered pests by human settlements, even though vuvegge are nocturnal herbivores that typically keep to themselves.
