#020 Starbug

Fully-grown starbugs make up the majority of visible lights in the night sky with their planet-sized bodies, but baby starbugs hatch and spend most of their pre-celestial life on abandoned planets until they learn to fly well enough to pierce gravity wells. When their eggs are laid in space, they are made of one of the strongest materials known to man. They drift endlessly, often for centuries, until they find a planet with sufficient gravitational pull to draw them into its atmosphere. The meteoric impact is what cracks the shell and releases a newborn starbug.

#025 Baibi

This small monkey navigates long distances by utilizing the bug-like wings on its back and can commonly be seen flying from forest to forest during the day. Their silhouette in flight mimicks those of birds, but birdwatchers with an eye for what to look out for claim it's a good omen to spot one.

#123 Fenglokam

Fenglokam are stout snake-like creatures with strong limbs, broad feet and a thick tail. They are very hardy animals that can live in virtually any environment or climate and emanate cold from their body rather than heat. Their diet consists mainly of roots, grubs, worms and small insects. They are also known for their loud mating calls that can be heard for miles, which continually screetch at the resonant frequency of packed sand.

#066 Stonemaker

Stonemakers inhabit deserts, fields, and mountains. They feed largely off rock and stone, always migrating to find new flavors and consistencies. Venom injected through a stonemaker bite will also turn most organic matter into a hardened stone within a matter of minutes or hours, depending on the size and hardiness of the victim. There is no known cure for the stonemaker's turn other than a fast amputation before the venom can spread. Stonemakers often flock to the statues they make in nature, sharing their kill with others of their tribe.

#149 Softwalker

Softwalkers are a very strange and exotic beast that lives in the tundras of the world, connected to a specific species of plant in a symbiotic way. A softwalker has a very large, fluffy coat of hair that covers its entire body except for its face, which is surrounded by a fringe of long, white hair. Although their body is quite strong, the typical softwalker is rather cowardly, and will often run and hide at the first sign of danger. No matter the terrain, softwalkers never emit any sounds while walking or running.

#256 Ifrit Wyrm

The fabled ifrit wyrm is a colossal demon sandworm that makes its home underneath large deserts. Its immense body temperature superheats the desert's environment and can sometimes result in wildfires or thick layers of glass forming beneath the sand. Ifrit wyrms tunnel quickly and eat anything they can catch, which is often easy to do with their geovibrational feelers. Ifrit wyrms have no known predators and can often be seen fully engulfed in flame, which they use to cook their prey. It is unknown how ifrit wyrms reproduce, but seeing one wyrm is often an indicator that several more are nearby.

#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.

#343 Qualya

The first record of the gargantuan qualya was recorded by scientists on a digging expedition nearly a century ago, where they reported instrument malfunctions, tremors, and fits of temporary insanity. Since then, those who have studied qualya hypothesize that this creature is capable of controlling a wide variety of other underground critters, and uses a form of shared mind to remain largely undetected by predators or inquisitive human eyes. This induction into the shared mind seems to leave many creatures with deep discolorations on their skin or cancerous tumors within, yet no autopsies have revealed a chemical or biological cause that links them directly to qualya. There is much left to be understood about this ancient behemoth.

#361 Aparilla

Aparilla are small, translucent invertebrates from the sea, best known for the soft glow they emit on dark nights. Although they are quite tiny, only growing to about the size of a thumb, they pack quite a punch when it comes to their defense mechanisms. When threatened, they release a burst of bright light and a loud, high-pitched noise that can disorient their predators. They can also release a poisonous substance that causes a painful, burning sensation. Aparilla tend to live in large groups, known as colonies, and work together to protect and defend their territory. They are fiercely loyal to their colony, and will go to great lengths to ensure its safety. However, they can also be quite territorial, and will attack any intruders that wander too close to their home. Breeding patterns for aparillas are complex and still not fully understood by scientists. They are known to reproduce through both sexual and asexual means, with some individuals capable of producing offspring without the need for a mate. Aparillas are also known for their ability to regenerate their tentacles, which allows them to continue hunting and reproducing even after being injured. Despite their small size and seemingly fragile nature, aparillas are actually quite resilient creatures. They can withstand extreme temperature fluctuations and are able to adapt to changing environments with ease. This has allowed them to thrive in many different areas of the world, including both warm and cold climates. Overall, the aparilla is a unique and fascinating creature that continues to capture the attention of scientists and marine enthusiasts alike. Its mysterious behavior and adaptability make it an important subject of study in the field of marine biology.
