#062 The Acolyte
Not much is known about the acolyte, including whether it's one creature or many. However, many travelers have reported that they've witnessed the acolyte while dying in nearby deserts. The description of the experience varies wildly from person to person, but those who've lived to tell the tale all agree on one thing: the acolyte asks you in your own language to use your dying breath to explain why you should keep living. If the acolyte likes your answer, you'll breathe again.
#049 Emollo
Emollo are a race of intelligent grub-like creatures that evolved arms and legs while living in gigantic, underground cities. They stand approximately three centimeteres tall and typically live around eighty years, spending approximately half of that in their long-term school system.
#078 Etorg
Etorgs are the living skeletal remains of eternal giants. Although most have grown bored of life and live solitary lives atop mountains or in colossal underground caves, younger etorgs will sometimes adopt a city, curl up around it, and patiently watch generations of lives unfold. Etorgs also love sandwiches, which they occasionally make by uprooting entire forests to squish between two slabs of planetary crust.
#136 Bruvnur
Bruvnurs are large, black-and-white mammals that have demonstrated a high level of intelligence and inter-species communication. They are reknowned for their ability to quickly learn and take orders. In the wild, they are usually found in large groups that congregate in frozen cave systems. Bruvnurs are often hunted for their thick pelts, which sell for a handsome sum to the Academy.
#216 Zelorgbia
Zelorgbian creatures are relatively simple jellyfish-related invertibrates that live on the edges of the ocean. Zelorgbians come on shore to bask in the sunlight and to lay their eggs. However, they can't move on land and risk dehydration if they're beached, so they choose to stay as close to the water's edge as possible. They are very sociable and will often move in huge herds, which sometimes get swept long distances by strong ocean currents.
#374 Panileaf
A rare incubating leaf. When hatched, it's roots suck up all the nutrients in the soil and destroys the plants around it. These plants hatch a hundred years after they are taken out of their mother plant. The size of the leaves depends on how far it is from its mother plant when it hatches. The closer to its mother plants, the larger the leaves. The roots of the panileaf can be used as medicine for malnutrition as well as a drug. The leaves have no purpose other than helping to reproduce. The panileaf can be eaten by animals that have a stone stomach.
#301 Saski
The saski is a species of airborn sanni that often can often be found following cumulonimbus clouds, though their migratory patterns have them almost everywhere on the planet at least once a year. Saski have an average length of two hundred feet and an average weight of three thousand pounds. Saskis are known for their ability to squirt ink from their bodies which causes an immediate onset of intense psychosis in most creatures, which is used both as a defense mechanism and when hunting prey.
#299 Galla sprii
The galla sprii's official origin is unknown, but scientists believe it was genetically created centuries ago for use in agriculture. Galla sprix are hulking, two-headed mammals that keep a strict, independent diet per head. Farmers nowadays use them for a natural cross-cultivation of biofruit after introducing each sprii head to a specific fruit. Galla sprix are then free to roam the fields freely, where they also keep large predators and thieves away.
#074 Angrenif
Angrenifs are shapeless blobs of living matter that can be found in the deserts of the world. They are extremely resilient and can survive for years without water or food, instead drawing their energy from the heat of the desert. When an angrenif is in direct sunlight, it will begin to move faster and morph to grow larger; but when it is in the shade, it will slow down and begin to shrink. Their typical lifespan is about one hundred years.
