#113 Vune Ballow
Small vune ballow dragons are commonly found throughout the world. They are covered in beautifully prismatic scales and are able to fly short distances, but tire quickly. Depending on the color of their eyes, they can typically breathe a small amount of fire or ice. They very greatly in size depending on the region, ranging roughly from the size of a caterpillar to the size of a snake. While some vune ballows are hostile and dangerous, many are friendly and playful.
#155 Gebloon
The gebloons are a race of intelligent beings that resemble orange blobs with a face. They are about 3 feet tall and have four arms and two legs, although those appendages are usually part of their blob and out of sight when not in use. Gebloons live in small, highly-political villages scattered across their planet of G'bledula, which orbits a red giant that emits large amounts of radiation they absorb for food and energy through a modified form of photosynthesis. Although some gebloons have been brought to our planet, they have a hard time surviving off the sun's comparatively minimal radiation and are less energetic and visibly less saturated as a result.
#195 Blatheraxe
Blatheraxes are shapeshifting eels that live in the deepest depths of the ocean. They are able to stretch physical appendages from their malleable body and have been known to creatively lure curious divers to their deaths. Adult blatheraxes are typically around ten feet long and will wrap themselves around their prey in a spiral, squeezing tighter and tighter until the prey is crushed. They are extremely poisonous and have been known to consume sharks and other large predators that stray too deep into the ocean.
#173 Alu'fiku
Alu'fiku are reef-dwelling fish most notable for their false "dorsal eye", which remains open while they sleep to help deter smaller predators. This is particularly helpful for alu'fiku because they sleep in open waters, coasting forward as if swimming, rather than hiding somewhere safe for their sleep. This lets the alu'fiku cover vast underwater distances in their sleep and migrate from reef to reef without too much difficulty.
#307 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.
#292 Volkan
The volkan is a massive creature, about the size of a buffalo, but with four legs and a tail. It is covered in thick black fur and has a massive mouth full of razor-sharp teeth. It has a pair of horn-like structures on its head and its eyes are usually glowing red or yellow in color. Volkans are solitary creatures and will rarely tolerate the presence of other volkans. They are extremely territorial and will fight to the death over their territory if they encounter another of their kind. When a battle between two volkans is about to begin, they will first do a series of complicated dances, where they will leap, kick, and stomp around the battleground.
#321 Sathera
Sathera are peaceful, ethereal creatures that feed on the energy of lightning storms. They are mostly invisible in most light spectrums, but when visible, they appear as circular fields of color that are constantly shifting. They tend to stay high in the atmosphere and will often be present during large storms; however, they occasionally kneel down to the planet to drink from lakes and rivers.
#320 Blithodurc
Blithodurcs are strange creatures also known as the "silent ones." They have no mouths and instead subsist on a diet of ambient radiation and sunlight. They are about the size of a pea and are made of twisted and fused boneshards of many different animals. They move incredibly slowly and quietly and will often spend days just stretching, observing the people and other creatures of their environs. It is possible for a blithodurc to form a close bond with a sentient life form and become deeply attached to them; however, these relationships are usually short-lived, as the blithodurc will eventually become enamored with another person, who will then become the center of their attention. If a blithodurc is deeply saddened by the loss of their friend, they will sometimes stop moving and die within a few days.
#358 Mollang
Mollang are small marsupials often found throughout wetlands and jungles. They live long lives despite the poisonous fungus that commonly grows on their short fur, which also protects them from most predators thanks to the highly-contagious nature of the fungi's toxins. However, these same toxins keep the mollang in a perpetually semi-sick state where they constantly sneeze and leak fluids that can cause physical damage to trees, brush, and other animals. Although each mollang builds up a small tolerance to their own fur's toxins, they rarely spend enough time with other mollang to expand that protection; therefore, mollang often live long, solitary, sickly lives and are actively avoided by nearly all other life that may cross their path.
