#029 Chreish
Chreish are sprawling, shapeless creatures that lack the traditional skin and body of most creatures. Instead, they grow long, entwined limbs of pure hair which act like roots to leech nutrients from the plants and soil they crawl over. They shed a lot of hair when moving and are generally seen as pests outside of the coldest climates, where their hair is a more precious resource.
#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.
#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.
#108 Nulstiver
Nulstivers are large, werecreatures that are native to ancient tundra wastelands. They are generally quite docile and tend to move extremely slowly unless provoked. Despite being quite fearsome in appearance, they are typically quite friendly, often bringing the young children of nearby villages any inedible trinkets they find in the wild. Nulstivers tend to live in large groups, with a single alpha male and female leading the pack. Each nulstiver is responsible for helping raise the young of the pack in a similar way to a wolf pack or a pride of lions. While other types of werecreatures are typically solitary hunters, nulstivers will usually work together to catch large prey animals. The two most prominent features of a nulstiver are their jaws, which are lined with sharp teeth, and their thick, bony, shield-like scales that cover the top of their head and the majority of their back.
#123 Fenglokam
Fenglokam are stout snake-like creatures with strong limbs, broad feet and a thick tail. They are very hardy animals that can live in virtually any environment or climate and emanate cold from their body rather than heat. Their diet consists mainly of roots, grubs, worms and small insects. They are also known for their loud mating calls that can be heard for miles, which continually screetch at the resonant frequency of packed sand.
#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.
#337 Kingfrug
The kingfrugs are large, flightless birds that live in the desert. They are mostly yellow in color with black and white markings on their wings. They have a pair of large eyes, and their beak is very wide and sharp. They have a keen sense of smell, and they can tell when it is about to rain by the change in air pressure. They are usually very quiet, but when it rains, they can be heard squawking loudly from miles away.
#338 Flarthog
Flarthogs are a species of wandering, burrowing creatures that look like tiny pink hedgehogs with giant ears. They have no concept of personal property and will take whatever they want from each other or people's homes, though once they have an object, they usually carry it around with them everywhere. Each flarthog has a unique personality, and some are known to be very aggressive. Their only source of food is a slimy bacterial organism that they grow on the underside of their quills, which commonly leads to bouts of cannibalism in some areas.
#151 Zamperk
Zamperk are large, powerful creatures related to ancient dragons, but classified as a modern hydra. They are covered in thick dragon scales made of opaque crystals and have large, razor-sharp claws and teeth. They have long, whip-like tails with an accelerated regeneration factor that often not only heals all cuts and wounds, but also spawns additional, conjoined zamperk bodies as appendages. Zamperk scales are a common medicinal component when ground up into fine powder. Zamperks can also be found hibernating in large caves, particularly those found inset in mountainous terrain. Zamperks sometimes sleep for years at a time and are very difficult to wake up; however, whenever a zamperk awakens, they experience intense hunger and will hunt down the first living thing they see.
