#053 Electrofly
Electroflies are gaseous clusters of friendly, intelligent sublife that often physically get caught in airwave currents or magnetic fields, scattering the cluster in a perpetual cycle of trying to reform the cluster's desired shape and structure, which resembles a large, pearlescent butterfly.
#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.
#007 Merm
Merms live in small groups, typically in the deepest reaches of the western oceans. They seem closely related to a potential aquatic fork of human evolution, but scientists haven't yet developed a way to communicate with them.
#008 Zoupir
Zoupir are small, insect-like pigs that travel underground, in packs. They feed primarily off dirt and roots, sucking nutrients from crops and vegetation in the area. They are an invisible pest, but farmers with a little know-how know how to spot signs of their presence.
#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.
#214 Ithant
Ithants are huge, crab-like creatures that can be found in the forests. The sound of their heavy footsteps is sometimes mistaken for the sound of falling trees. Ithants have six legs and are very quiet, only making loud noises when walking. Ithants are capable of running extremely long distances in a short amount of time due to their long legs, but they don't have the endurance to run for very long.
#191 Sabbi san
Sabbi san are a phylum of four-legged microscopic tardigrades first described by Austrian zoologist Robby Saab in 2195, who discovered them in a tainted cave water sample. Sabbi sans move quickly in water or on land with a gait that closely resembles that of a trotting goat, although they are also capable of supporting weight on their hind legs and walking bipedally. While sabbi sans were discovered in and often frequent wet caves, they've also been discovered in all kinds of wet climates, and even migrate through natural water cycles and rainfall.
#296 Jaxilith
Jaxilives are large shapeshifters that appear as a swarm of blue flies when dormant. When a jaxilith is threatened, it will transform into a larger worm-like creature. This njaxilith form is covered in sharp red scales and flies with a small set of translucent wings that emit a small amount of blue light. Jaxilith temperament is short and aggressive, quickly swarming and overwhelming any potential threats to their home. Nowadays, the remaining jaxilives are said to live in underground caverns, where they indiscriminately prey on anything that isn't blue. Experimental testing of a severed jaxilith lens revealed that blue is actually the one color this small shapeshifter can't physically see. Some cultures have historically dissolved ground Kjaxilith scales into teas as a precursory version of antidepressants. Although the jaxilith presents itself as a swarm of flies while dormant, it's still only a single decentralized organism — and just as lonely.
