A wild creature appears!

Crindelino

Crindelino (meaning "giant armored ones" in an ancient script) are New World placental cold-blooded mammals. Crindelinos live isolated lives in the hottest deserts for long lifespans currently estimated to be over two thousand years long.

Crindelinos are characterized by a leathery armor shell and long, sharp claws at the end of even longer arms. They have long legs, but are incredibly inflexible creatures, which impedes their mobility and speed. Newborn crindelinos typically measure between five and six feet tall, yet older crindelinos can grow to be over six hundred feet tall. Although they would be extremely capable predators, crindelinos frequently roll up into an armored ball whenever they are threatened by a predator, big or small.

#121 Etorgidur

Etorgidurs are some of the largest creatures in the world, reaching heights of up to 100,000 feet. They are very closely related to the fabled etorgs in origin, but take a more ghostly, ethereal form and largely ignore all other forms of life. Etorgidurs have a much more social lifestyle; they will often gather in groups of up to 50 to eat, sleep, mate, and bask in the ghostly presence of each other. Because they are nonpermeating beings, they can phase through objects in the world and each other, which is what allows so many large etorgidurs to gather at such concentrated locations.

#199 Hæglre

Hæglres are large, flightless birds that spend most of their time scavenging for food in the snow-covered plains of the world. They are very social creatures that live in groups of up to twenty individuals. In the harsher winters, they will gather together to keep each other warm. Hæglres are also very territorial and will attack any creatures that get too close to their nest, but they live so far away from most other life that this rarely occurs.

#233 Pewarra

On the plains near the city, you can find the wingless pewarras that live in large herds, best known for their concave skeleton and recognizable gait. When threatened by a predator, pewarras will huddle together in a large circle and take turns making noises to scare the predator away. Depending on the herd and their range of possible sounds, this defense mechanism can be extremely effective — or ineffective.

#272 Gwievft

Gwievft are large, aquatic eels that are typically found in underwater mycelium caverns, although they sometimes explore more open waters. Gwievft have an extremely venomous bite that can completely paralyze dolphins, sharks, and humans within hours and lead to death shortly after. During this time, the gwievft toxin has opium-like effects in the victim that work to keep it calm and avoid struggling. Gwievft toxins have been successfully extracted by natives for use in sacrificial and ceremonial drinks for centuries, although ranching them is an extremely dangerous job.

#315 Tableu

Tableu are artificial, lab-designed mammal-likes that were designed for domestication into dense populace housing. Tableu are known for their eponymous "table", a hardened appendage on top of their head that they perpetually hold perfectly parallel to the ground. When purchasing a tableu, three distinct sizes are available, and each can hold a varying amount of weight on their table. The tableu mind is a small one which shuts off completely when there aren't any humans around. Coupled with the low-energy hibernation state they enter while their mind is unpowered, tableu are designed to be the perfect pet for on-the-go families or those who want little to no commitment in their choice of pet.

#268 Drullar

Drullars are small, terrestrial dragons with a skin made of transparent crystals. Drullars can range in color from a soft white to orange, with large red eyes and a dog-like snout. They are herbivorous and often live in forests and jungles, where they subsist on a diet of fruit and leaves. Drullars are also highly intelligent and possess a sophisticated system of belief that they communicate through musical notes that drullars produce through the horn-like protrusion atop their head.

#271 Frost Skrayll

Frost skrayll genetically diverged from the common skrayll during the Great Frosting, where their highly-malleable bodies adapted to changing weather conditions. Frost skrayll secrete a slimy substance that freezes instantly when exposed to air, which the frost skrayll uses to manage their internal temperature. In general, frost skrayll have also learned to use this mutation for increased mobility, allowing them to scale glaciers, burrow through hard ice, or create temporary land bridges.

#339 Karkat

Karkats are medium-sized creatures that spend most of their time on the ocean floor, though they will occasionally come to the surface for air. They have hollow bones and two long, nearly prehensile tails that help them to swim quickly. When they are at the surface, they tend to gather in large groups and quietly observe the world around them. They have very soft skin and are very gentle creatures.

#349 Flayansk

The flayansk originates in the far north, in the freezing highlands of Cotsk. Flayansk vary wildly in size throughout their life, growing quickly from the size of rodents to the size of large boulders, then eventually shrinking back to microscopic levels as they reach old age. No matter their size, however, flayansk struggle with their weight: since they weigh less than air, these creatures will hold themselves close to the ground with their massive claws so they don't float away into the atmosphere. Although flayansk can go for weeks (or, in some cases, months) without eating, starvation is still their leading cause of death due to being unable to get back down to the ground once they start floating away.
