#043 Volcrano

Every volcano has at least one volcrano maintaining it. They do their best to keep out of sight but volcranos are bulky and slow. Volcanos as a species have been fate-bound to feed the volcanic lava until the end of time in order to keep it from seeking food outside of the volcano. It's the instinct they have immediately upon birth and it's the instinct they'll still be mindlessly striving for upon their inevitable death.

#052 D'Geft

D'geft are stone elementals that pass freely through mountains and stone, living solitary lives. Catching a d'geft binds his will to yours, enabling the binding one to control that d'geft's powers as if they were your own. When d'geft die, their souls weigh heavily on shifting tectonic plates that cause earthquakes and century-long ruptures that ultimately form a new mountain over time, which serves as an incubator for a new d'geft to eventually form within.

#153 Oskurgi

Oskurgis are frog-like creatures that make their homes in the nutrient-rich mud piles found in the swampy forests of the world. Since their skin has a weak, porous texture and is very sensitive to sunlight, oskurgis prefer to remain inside large shells for the whole of their lives. They are very easily frightened and have no defense mechanism other than to curl up into their shell and sink underwater. Although no one knows why, there are some rare flowers that only ever bloom in the presence of an oskurgi.

#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.

#244 Angelsilk

The angelsilk jellyfish floats through the air on a cloth-like fabric made of the protein chains they produce for skin. Angelsilk are also known as ballgown angels to those who live near enough to the coast to see them. It is not uncommon for these jellyfish to grow long, elegant strips of material that float elegantly through the water as they move, sometimes reaching five or six feet long. These jellyfish do not sting.

#231 Ephflynne

Ephflynnes are enormous creatures that swim through the air at speeds of up to one thousand miles per hour. They're completely translucent, but they can change the wavelength of light they reflect to blend in with their surroundings or to make themselves visible. They eat massive amounts of vapor every day, which they track and locate by following a pheremone known as sugreth. An ephflynne can grow to be ten miles long and can live for hundreds of years.

#295 Digo gaur

Digo gaur are a domesticated breed of zainko whose closest genetic common ancestor is the pig. Digo gaur were first discovered at the Last Refuge in the far north at the end of the second era and were bred in large numbers for food before the gaur ultimately ran wild with a power vacuum in the ecosystem. Ages ago, schoolkids used to school each other on the little-known fact that digo gaurs were the only living animal capable of surviving a decapitation. Over several millennia, digo gaurs began to evolve wilder variations of smaller and smaller heads, presently culminating in an elongated neck terminating in a hypersensitive nerve feeler.

#175 Nemmen

Nemmen are small, purple fish that frequent reefy areas and the deep sea, but are also commonly caught to resell as consumer pets. They are soft to the touch and like to be pet by their owners, unlike most other fish. When nemmen are happy, they blow small bubbles that they play with, often swimming circles around each bubble. Most nemmen live two or three years.

#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.
