A wild creature appears!

Stregadurc

A stregadurc is a small creature that resembles a goblin. They are often found in suburban areas and feed on trash and other items that have been thrown away. They get their name from the strange noises they make, which sound like a combination of a scream and hiccup. Stregadurc organs are a delicacy for some Enhani tribes that live high in the mountains and keep these creatures as livestock in large, cavernous holes. Some wild stregadurcs have been seen crafting themselves basic clothing.

#067 Winter Veln

Winter velns hide from predators by appearing flat or misfigured from a clever use of optical illusion camoflage, but they're actually typically very fat creatures. They eat snow and do a sort of reverse-photosynthesis, producing energy from darkness. Because of their plumpness, veln are a prized delicacy for almost every other creature in the famined tundras they inhabit. They strictly stick to a "reproduction cycle" that occurs approximately every six years, laying anywhere from sixty to eighty eggs per nest.

#091 Mouma

Mouma often live among jellyfish herds, but are more closely related to goldfish. Their bright, red coloring is a deterrent to most aquatic predators, although they're squishy and delicious. Mouma are a common pet for schoolchildren because of the expressive, silly faces they make. They typically live for about one year. Their favorite food is lettuce.

#147 Herling

The herling is a small bird about the size of a housecat. They are mostly harmless, but are often pests because of their tendency to steal and hoard shiny objects. A herling will take any object that catches their eye, including jewelry, coins, pencils, pens, forks, spoons, knives, scissors, and anything else they can carry. They usually hide these objects in the hollows of trees or other dark recesses of their environment. They are also known for the bright red feathers that emit a slight luminescent glow in low light.

#131 Phembluf

Phemblufs are large, blue fish that live in the deeper, frozen parts of the northern oceans. Phemblufs average two to three feet long and have a long black, snout with a mouth full of razor-sharp teeth that can drill through ice with ease. Phembluf usually live in packs of 5 to 20, hunting and killing larger fish and aquatic mammals. They also enjoy eating seaweed and underwater plants. A chemical reaction in their blood keeps their skin in a perpetually-frozen state; however, upon death, their skin will melt and release their innards as a thick slime, which is extremely harmful to most aquatic ecosystems.

#055 Kurobo

The charming three-legged kurobo walk isn't the only reason they caught the world's eye at their discovery. It's cute, yes, but the real mind-blower is their ability to manifest fire, seemingly at will. The blue fire burns hotter and brighter for as long as the kuobo is near, then fades into the more traditional red and cools down. The first discovered kurobo, Charles, is an internet celebrity.

#128 Sprindull

Sprindulls are extremely large, short-haired bears that live extraordinarily long lives in the deserts with no known predators. Their intelligence level has been measured as slightly above human level and older sprindulls have shown an innate capability for understanding human language, although they don't have the vocal chords necessary to formulate their own human speech. Desert towns will often adopt a sprindull of their own as a kind of mascot, forming a symbiotic relationship between the town and the bear.

#225 Astorvega

An astorvega is a slow, lumbering creature covered in a thick, brown fur. It is roughly the same size as a bear and has large, powerful claws on its forelimbs that help it dig through snow or into small holes to sleep. The astorvega is a solitary creature, moving slowly across the tundra and frozen plains, munching on grasses and shrubs. Although they typically live around 100 years, their maximum lifespan is thought to be at least a thousand years in ideal conditions. They are extremely docile creatures given their size, usually only retaliating if threatened. Astorvegas leave behind mounds of shedded fur any time the temperature rises even a little bit.

#190 Mimcree

Originally from the far east, mimcrees have been domesticated and controlled by the government for centuries due to their unique ability to shapeshift into any animal within their line of sight. This replication has been confirmed to be accurate down to a molecular level and tests have shown that almost every animal cannot tell the difference between a shapeshifted mimcree and the real thing. Although most people aren't aware of mimcrees, many people see them every day at zoos, where zookeepers typically rent a herd of mimcrees from the government to stand in for rarer species the zoo could otherwise only afford one of. Public grants make the rental fees of mimcrees more accessible, but zoos that choose to rent any shapeshifters must hire an official handler to make sure they don't get loose, or else they might never be seen again.

#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.
