#089 Vieflhuse
Vieflhusen are skymantas that frequently dip below the clouds in search of food, fun, and friends. Although their eyesight is terrible, they are able to use an altered form of echolocation to sense a three-dimensional representation of the area and its inhabitants beneath them. Each Vieflhuse is able to reproduce asexually and typically carries litters of 4-8 small vieflhusen on their back after giving birth.
#097 Whalewalker
These hulking creatures once dominated the long-lost oceans. As the heat wave intensified and oceans began to evaporate, the first whalewalker ancestors adapted their way onto land. Whalewalkers lay down and open their gigantic mouth, then remain still for days at a time to lure in bugs and other small animals before chomping down for a calorie-packed bite. They live lonely, frequently-migrating lives.
#051 Akaru
Akaru are a small, domesticated breed of dragons originally popularized by farmers in the east. Fully grown, most akarun won't even reach your knees. They're bred for vivid colors and make great pets who love to fly around and bring their owner back small trinkets.
#239 Fyrial
The brilliant fire of a fyrial's eyes can be seen for miles and are the source behind many religious stories originating in ancient deserts. Although they are typically solitary creatures, they will sometimes come together in pairs or small groups to feed on a massive kill, earning goodwill within their local community. When a fyrial dies, its body is consumed in a violent explosion that burns it to ashes.
#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.
#175 Nemmen
Nemmen are small, purple fish that frequent reefy areas and the deep sea, but are also commonly caught to resell as consumer pets. They are soft to the touch and like to be pet by their owners, unlike most other fish. When nemmen are happy, they blow small bubbles that they play with, often swimming circles around each bubble. Most nemmen live two or three years.
#290 Borkar
The borkar is a small creature that is a distant relative of canines. It is primarily nocturnal, and will often roam around in the dark on its back legs, carrying its food in its front claws. Due to its razor-sharp claws, it is a very fast runner and can climb most obstacles as easily as running along the ground. Like its canine cousins, it is a pack animal and coexists with other borkars peacefully. Borkar often wander into human settlements and live on the streets, only coming out at night to scavenge through trash for food.
#365 Pin-yoch
Pin-yoch are microscopic organisms that manifest and control hordes of large, humanoid spirits that can leap up to 100 feet in the air. Pin-yoch use these ethereal puppets to gather resources and defend themselves against predators, but also to enjoy themselves through the art of dance. Pin-yoch are best capable of manipulating the physical world through their spirits, using them to move objects and even create complex structures and reusable tools. Pin-yoch communicate with each other through a series of clicks and chirps, which are repllicated and amplified through their puppet spirits. These sounds are inaudible to the human ear, but can be picked up by other pin-yoch within a mile radius. The puppet spirits are also able to mimic the sounds and movements of other creatures, which helps the pin-yoch gather information or avoid danger by manipulating would-be predators. Pin-yoch are difficult to study as they are so small and elusive, but scientists believe they have a complex reproductive system that involves the merging of multiple pin-yoch to create a new organism. This process is still not fully understood and is a subject of much research and speculation. Overall, pin-yoch are fascinating creatures that continue to intrigue scientists and mystics alike with their unique abilities and behaviors.
#367 Skalve
The skalve is a creature shrouded in legend and mystery, revered by many as a deity in the desert yet hated by others less favored. Its powerful and majestic presence is said to radiate a divine energy, and its sharp senses and unparalleled tracking abilities have led some to believe that it has a connection to the spiritual world. Skalves have a rough, sandy coat that helps them blend in with the desert and protects them from the harsh desert sun. A skalve's powerful legs allow it to traverse the dunes with ease, and its sharp claws enable it to dig for underground sources of water and food. Despite its rugged appearance, the skalve is actually quite intelligent and has been known to form close bonds with its human companions and their descendants. They are highly loyal and protective, making them valuable assets to any who respect the desert. A skalve's diet consists primarily of small rodents and lizards, but they are also known to scavenge for scraps and other sources of nourishment. They are able to go for long periods of time without water, thanks to their ability to extract moisture from the plants and insects they consume. This water is stored in bulbous sacs on the skalve's neck. In addition to their practical uses, skalves are also prized for their beauty. Their sandy coats shimmer in the sunlight, and their bright, expressive eyes seem to glow with a mysterious inner light. It is no wonder that the skalve has become such a religious figure in many desert communities.
