Kubup

Kubups are brightly-colored arboreal creatures that can jump up to 100 feet high. They are an important part of forest ecosystems, as they feed on dead tree leaves and recycle them into nutrients for the trees. They typically climb to the very top of trees and sleep there, clinging to the leaves by their sharp teeth, but during stormy weather, they can sometimes be found hiding under rocks or in caves.

Their fur, when rubbed on a person's skin, will cause that person to turn into a dornax if the kubup was faizen. The effects of this process are irreversible except by highly skilled magicians.

#134 Brokkind

Brokkinds are a species of intelligent monkey with silver wings that lives in trees in the tropics, mostly in the jungles of the world. They are about the size of a toucan and have a very high metabolism, eating about fifty times their body weight in food every day. They are very curious, and mature brokkinds often live alone, exploring the forest and watching the other creatures of the world with an unwavering gaze.

#280 Kora

The kora are an aquatic species of intelligent coral common in warmer ocean climates that have historically been an enabler of oceanic human societies in areas they couldn't otherwise exist. Although kora harden into a stony toughness after death (that can be used in everything from construction to weaponry), there's also a short window after their death in which they're still soft enough to cook. Kora reproduce quickly and often, often dominating their local ecosystem. In times where there aren't enough food sources, kora can also often be found floating along the water's surface where they use a variation of photosynthesis to absorb energy from sunlight.

#260 Bulthoid

Bulthoids are rare creatures that live in almost every environment. Despite their strange appearance, bulthoids are actually a very intelligent race, capable of tool use and engineering. Bulthoid society is built on a system of meritocratic communism with a focus on community support and direct communication, where everyone votes and participates in the political processes of their community. This inherent group effort makes bulthoid societies extremely resiliant to both local predators and more existential threats in their chosen ecosystems.

#256 Ifrit Wyrm

The fabled ifrit wyrm is a colossal demon sandworm that makes its home underneath large deserts. Its immense body temperature superheats the desert's environment and can sometimes result in wildfires or thick layers of glass forming beneath the sand. Ifrit wyrms tunnel quickly and eat anything they can catch, which is often easy to do with their geovibrational feelers. Ifrit wyrms have no known predators and can often be seen fully engulfed in flame, which they use to cook their prey. It is unknown how ifrit wyrms reproduce, but seeing one wyrm is often an indicator that several more are nearby.

#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.

#269 Oceanstar

The oceanstar is a common salt-water marine mollusk. Oceanstars got their name from sailors who could just barely make out twinkling lights beneath the ocean waves in the pitch of night. Oceanstars are herbivores that feed on microplants and detritus that settle along the ocean floor. Although oceanstars are beautiful to look at from afar, touching one may permanently damage its ability to emit light.

#291 Vorivo'r

The vorivo'r is a small alpine creature that lives in the snowy mountains. It is covered in burred fur, with a small round body and a large head. It is about the size of a human hand, and feeds on small insects and worms. Vorivo'rs run with a distinctive, scuttling gait that is easy to mistake for a spider. During warmer winters, vorivo'rs will burrow deep underground to hibernate. While hibernating, they snore so loudly the ground may rumble at times.

#324 Wogflorp

The wogflorp is a large, somewhat docile creature that is often mistaken for a drifflefert. It likes to wander around the edge of shallow water, moving at the same pace as the current. It is often found sunning itself on the shore, but if disturbed it will flee into the water and hide. Due to their size, their glowing nose, their loud breathing (and numerous bubbles produced when breathing underwater), and their awkward, limited mobility, wogflorps are very bad at hiding — especially from predators who've gotten a wiff of their delicious aroma.

#354 Loqui

Loqui are a small species of upright, bipedal reptiles that are best known for long-distance marches across flatlands like meadows, deserts, and plains in sizable migratory crowds. During the spring, loqui will gather in these immense crowds and begin their season-long march, picking up and/or leaving loqui in new locations along the way. The carefree sounds of a loqui march can often be heard from almost a mile away. The flowers that grow on the back of these reptiles have an interesting microcosm of pollination and cross-breeding, driven primarily by their migration. Solitary groups of loqui will find that their flowers will unify into a single color and shape over time, while traveling loqui will grow new kinds of flowers depending on the group they're in. Some large corporations own large loqui farms where they manage and breed their flocks for specific flowers, which they mass-harvest every fall for sale, often to medicinal or pharmaceutical companies.
