#207 Skeighnog

Skeighnogs are vicious and bloodthirsty creatures from the vast forests of the world. They are small, roughly the size of a small dog but with a long, scaly tail and a bulbous, pouchy stomach. They are predators and will eat anything they can catch and fit in their mouths, but their favorite prey is the klelag, which they hunt by burrowing into the thick grasses of the nests. When a skeighnog attacks its prey, it usually does it from above, leaping down on its target and impaling them with its long, curved claws. A skeighnog can run very fast and has the speed to catch a human, but they are more likely to feast on their fallen prey until they've eaten their fill before chasing anything else.

#242 Antwij

Antwij are a race of small angomites that originate from the southern deserts, but have long since migrated to a wider array of biomes after their homes became uninhabitable. Antwijes don't typically survive very long in the wild, except in the easiest of environment, because of their extremely docile nature and lack of hunting skill. Additionally, these small insects seem to have difficulty taking any food they deem belongs to someone or something else, leaving them starving even when a source of food may be nearby. In some desert societies, antwijes are renowned as ancient, holy creatures and provided a steady supply of food from the church. In these societies, it is not uncommon for these small creatures to crawl over sleeping members of the church in the night, repeatedly kissing them as a sign of thanks and good luck.

#210 Meldor

As the national animal of a small, farmer-run republic on their planet, the meldor is a peaceful and generally friendly creature that can be found minding its own business around the fields and forests of the region. While their legs have lost the strength and power that they used to have in the past, they have learned to adapt by using their surprisingly strong wings to lift their bodies into the air, becoming warriors that fight with the wind itself! A fleet of meldors are always a force to be reckoned with!

#258 Tarodo

Tarodos are dangerous cave-dwelling creatures. Their long tentacles are able to find and grasp prey from far away to drag it into their subterranean lairs. Tarodos usually hunt alone from the safety of their lair, but sometimes a few tarodos will group up to work together and overwhelm larger prey. While their sticky, venomous tentacles are a threat to most animals, some fish are able to swim up the tentacles and into the tarodo's mouth to retrieve half-digested fish scraps, as the tarodo's hooked tentacles struggle to grab small things that are moving quickly up the tentacle.

#324 Wogflorp

The wogflorp is a large, somewhat docile creature that is often mistaken for a drifflefert. It likes to wander around the edge of shallow water, moving at the same pace as the current. It is often found sunning itself on the shore, but if disturbed it will flee into the water and hide. Due to their size, their glowing nose, their loud breathing (and numerous bubbles produced when breathing underwater), and their awkward, limited mobility, wogflorps are very bad at hiding — especially from predators who've gotten a wiff of their delicious aroma.

#319 Drontinc

Drontincs are tiny dragons which primarily communicate through telekinesis. They often get caught up in the winds and blown across the world, which makes them particularly adventurous and inquisitive for a species which has such a short lifespan. Every spring, when drontincs are newly hatched, they are sent on a quest to find their mate. It is an incredibly challenging process, as they must learn to navigate the landscape (many drontincs will get caught in storms and blown off into the ocean), but once they have found their mate, they will spend their lives together in a small home beneath the earth.

#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.

#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.

#365 Pin-yoch

Pin-yoch are microscopic organisms that manifest and control hordes of large, humanoid spirits that can leap up to 100 feet in the air. Pin-yoch use these ethereal puppets to gather resources and defend themselves against predators, but also to enjoy themselves through the art of dance. Pin-yoch are best capable of manipulating the physical world through their spirits, using them to move objects and even create complex structures and reusable tools. Pin-yoch communicate with each other through a series of clicks and chirps, which are repllicated and amplified through their puppet spirits. These sounds are inaudible to the human ear, but can be picked up by other pin-yoch within a mile radius. The puppet spirits are also able to mimic the sounds and movements of other creatures, which helps the pin-yoch gather information or avoid danger by manipulating would-be predators. Pin-yoch are difficult to study as they are so small and elusive, but scientists believe they have a complex reproductive system that involves the merging of multiple pin-yoch to create a new organism. This process is still not fully understood and is a subject of much research and speculation. Overall, pin-yoch are fascinating creatures that continue to intrigue scientists and mystics alike with their unique abilities and behaviors.
