#073 Pinbin Snake
Pinbin snakes are totally harmless, almost-friendly creatures. They eat grass, lick rocks for fun, and rarely grow more than a foot long. Their eyes are a delicacy among the rich.
#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.
#046 Camp Spirit
Camp spirits only appear in cases where a human body has been burned alive and left alone. It's unclear how they form, but scientists have narrowed it down to something in the bones reacting to long-term exposure to ashes. They were common during the witch trials and often reproduced through a method of indirect induction, wherein they'd intentionally cause mischief that led to suspicions of more witches. Camp spirits are much rarer nowadays, but not entirely extinct. They've evolved to live much longer and learned a system of governance that allows them to induce new generations through coordinated mischief and subterfuge on nearby human towns.
#186 Jaunwix
The rare jaunwix is a hypermaterial metafeline whose origins are unknown. This creature's body flows like water, babbling through brooks and trickling through crevasses like a river, filling whatever space is available. This unstable shape takes the form of water for the most part, but jaunwix can also "emerge" from the water with a shape that resembles a large, black leopard or panther. Jaunwix eat vegetation and shrubs via osmosis and absorption as their liquid body passes over them. This creature also has an incredibly difficult time going uphill, but is capable of doing so given enough strength and effort.
#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.
#174 Sanguaven
The night ravens with luminous, blood-red eyes in the south are colloquially known as sanguavens, although they've had many names throughout history. Sanguaven eyes have a unique reflective property that redshifts light and amplifies its reflection, resulting in their bright red eyes being visible in even pitch darkness, sometimes even miles away. These "demon dots", as some historical societies called them, formed the basis for many mythological stories, most notably the "All-Seeing Eyes" by Ronaldo Dominico. Although sanguavens are better understood now, they still instill a sense of unease and anxiety in those who see their glowing eyes, even from afar.
#287 Chillopiar
Chillopiars are aquatic animals that live in the depths of the ocean. They are composed of many small pieces of coral and sponge, which can be detached and reattached by contracting muscles in their bodies. If a chillopiar is injured and loses a piece of itself, it can regenerate it by eating another chillopiar. They are highly social, and they communicate with each other by emitting and receiving different frequencies of light, including some on a spectrum invisible to humans.
#357 Senna
It seems like the average senna lifespan is longer than that of the universes it inhabits. This large, snake-like creature has somehow evolved a form of inter-dimensional travel to escape the inevitable heat death of most universes. Sennae are unfathomably large, sometimes stretched across three or four universal dimensions when fully extended. These mysterious creatures have no known predators nor prey. Eons ago, people used to believe they could see sennae traveling through distant universes in the night sky, but science has long since "proved" that such a sight would be physically impossible given their size. History debates the authenticity of several allegedly-verified sightings.
#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.
