A wild creature appears!

Camp Spirit

Camp spirits only appear in cases where a human body has been burned alive and left alone. It's unclear how they form, but scientists have narrowed it down to something in the bones reacting to long-term exposure to ashes. They were common during the witch trials and often reproduced through a method of indirect induction, wherein they'd intentionally cause mischief that led to suspicions of more witches.

Camp spirits are much rarer nowadays, but not entirely extinct. They've evolved to live much longer and learned a system of governance that allows them to induce new generations through coordinated mischief and subterfuge on nearby human towns.

#139 Ozanif

Ozanifs are a large variant of the common swamp bear. They are covered in a thick, matted fur that is resistant to water and provides excellent warmth in cold conditions. Ozanifs have s a long, pointed nose and sharp teeth which constantly ooze a sweet honey-like substance. It is a carnivorous creature that hunts insects and small birds. Ozanifs don't hibernate, but they do spend most of their time in their dens during the winter months. They are very territorial and will attack if they feel threatened or to protect their young. In the summers, ozanifs make a strange, chirping sound and will often spend long hours rolling around in the muddy swamps.

#125 Holivax

The fabled holivax is a race of ancient colorsapping birds believed to now be extinct, but are widely referred to as exceedingly rare in ancient texts. Holivax are said to leech pigment from their surroundings, taking on hypersaturated colors reminiscent of the flora and fauna that are unfortunate enough to find themselves close enough to a holivax nest, drained of their color. It is written that holivax blood is able to cure blindness, and brightly shimmers with every color when exposed to even the littlest sliver of light.

#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.

#013 Emerid

Emerids are social, friendly birds that travel long distances through deserts, trying to make friends with lonely travelers and larger animals. They've been known to sing loud songs on hot nights, with nearby emerids all singing the same song. Those that spend much time in deserts typically develop a love-hate relationship with the emerid songs that keep them company during the day, but also keep them up all night.

#006 Dune Beetle

Dune beetles are the speedsters of the desert. You wouldn't expect it given their colossal size, but these severely-overgrown bugs can reach speeds of over a hundred miles per hour across flat land. Their flight, however, is much slower and more controlled. It's a shame the dune beetle is so aggressive and temperamental, because it would make a great domesticated vehicle for those who live in the desert.

#217 Jauxckle

The jauxckle is a small mammal that typically calls colder forests its home, but will often wander into new areas in its post-life undead state. Although jauxckles exclusively feed on berries and other vegetation during their life, they also include meat in their diet during their undeath. A chemical process occurs upon their death that continues to animate their muscular system, moving the jauxckle using muscle memory but without an associated consciousness; although dead jauxckles look alive, they are merely shadows of their former life and cannot think, sense their environment, or feel pain. A side effect of this chemical process produces a thick, chromatic goo that oozes from their pores and keeps the body supple and moisturized.

#169 Havough

The large havough bird towers above trees, hills, and mountains with its imposing stature. Although havoughs typically fly into outer space to hunt for food, they often prefer to relax for weeks at a time in our atmosphere between meals. Although havough aren't malicious, they are dangerous simply due to their sheer size: the wrong footstep can crush entire towns, a gust of wind from their wings can blow over structures, and the sound of their mating call can rupture eardrums from a close enough distance. For these reasons, havoughs are typically classified as a pest even though there is nothing that can be done to shoo them away.

#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.

#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.
