#005 Thabu
Thabus are hulking creatures of ancient history that have survived over time by melding with mountains and hibernating. They awake every thousand or so years to see if the world is a better place, but a thabu invariably goes back to sleep after each short period awake. No one is sure what exactly they're waiting for.
#250 Parloi
Parlois are large, herbivorous reptiles without a face that spend most of their time in the water. They are easygoing, almost to a fault. They will often ignore predators and let them eat them if it means that they can continue to relax. Their favorite food is leaves that have fallen from trees, and they have a strong grip that allows them to hold a floating branch on the water’s surface for hours as they munch away.
#194 Grock
Grocks are massive, floating creatures with huge gas pockets in their bodies. They can be found in just about every habitat, but especially in forests and swamps, where they spend their days floating and eating and whistling. As they eat more and more, their bodies will continue to grow so that they can float higher and higher. However, their stomachs are quite weak and delicate, which is why a grock will never get too close to sharp objects. Grock splatter is a well-known nuisance to anyone that frequents their habitats.
#161 Adrakas
The adrakas is a giant leathery fish about the size of a small city. Its highly porous skin allows it to breathe in the water or on land, and its mouth is designed to eat all manner of creatures, from mammals to plants to rocks. The adrakas lifespan has yet to be determined, but they've been reported to have endured through more planetary-scale changes and geologic periods than mankind has. They have no known predators.
#165 Shaleel
The shaleel is a large, multi-colored reptile that inhabits the swamps and wetlands of Oorzh. Being mostly aquatic, the shaleel usually only comes to land when it is voluntarily wanting to shed its skin. Shaleels have a long, constantly-tapping tail that produces an electrical current that they use to incapacitate fish while hunting. When a predator or a new potential mate approaches, the shaleel will raise its tail high above its head and then slam it down; if the creature is a potential mate, the electrical current will cause an explosion of green sparkles that attracts the mate. If the creature is a predator, the explosion will usually ward it off.
#304 Yahak
Yahaks are small and brightly colored birds. They have hearts that beat very rapidly and are able to fly extremely quickly, though sometimes they have difficulty turning when flying at their highest speeds. When they first hatch from their eggs, they are incredibly shy and will often spend several days in their nest. However, as they grow older they will become much braver and will often be found swooping around other animals, as they enjoy being around other creatures.
#265 Trogurp
Trogurps are small, brightly-colored insects that are typically found in the forests of the world. They eat leaves and other plant matter and are covered in a thick chitinous shell. Male trogurps can be aggressive towards one another and will duel for the right to mate with a female. These duels are often deadly and can take place for hours, with the victor often being a trogurp that has lost most of its legs or wings. After finding a mate, the wounded trogurp will hitch a ride on its new mate until its limbs have grown back.
#350 Ddeinn
The ddeinn roams swamps and lava fields looking for fresh meat in an endless pursuit of food. Although ddeinns are strict carnivores, they have no preference on what meat they eat, often resorting to cannibalism or rotten meat when alternatives are scarce. Ddeinn's powerful wings allow them to traverse long distances quickly; whether they're swooping in from miles above or charging along the ground, there are few creatures that can escape this predator's razor-sharp, hungry maw. Ddeinn emit so much heat from their body that they can cook meat by sleeping on it, but this vast energy exodus is also what requires them to constantly be on the hunt for more, more, more.
#259 Gghun'vur
Gghun'vur are small insects with 13 legs that live in the coldest frozen tundras in the world. Their internal body temperature is very close to absolute zero, which severely limits the temperatures they can survive in; harsh, freezing temperatures comparatively feel like a sunny day to them and they manage to keep warm in these environments. Gghun'vur hunt other insects and small creatures via a combination of high-speed sprinting and a powerful jump, which the gghun'vur uses to tackle and wrap its legs around its prey, instantly freezing them. An enyzme from the gghun'vur's saliva breaks down biomass within frozen hunks as they lick it, allowing this small creature to consume entire frozen meals with just its small, barbed tongue.
