#012 Val'anur

The val'anur is a monstrous beast of the tundra. What it lacks in speed it makes up for in determination and force. Val'anurs never sleep, which allows them to chase their prey indefinitely. Their gigantic paws sport deadly claws that tear exhausted prey to pieces, which val'anurs slowly savor until moving onto their next meal.

#056 Bertuisk

Bertuisks are large airfish that live above the clouds in large schools. Although they largely stay out of sight and move from area to area with the clouds, some cities will mount air attacks on the giant fish to keep too many from clustering. A single bertuisk typically feeds a whole city for a week.

#057 Eowiz

At some point, a cat wandered somewhere it shouldn't and was forever changed with an infusion of magical energy. That cat's offspring were the first eowiz in history, which showed increased intelligence, stealth, and magical ability. Eowiz typically stay out of sight, preferring instead to use their wits and powers to influence the politics of small towns from the shadows in between long cat naps in the sun. However, some do choose to live with human families under the guise of being a normal cat.

#088 Fustonin

Fustonins are small, blue birds that live near active volcanoes. They are extremely light and can fly at speeds of up to 300 mph. They have no beaks and instead use the hard, pointed end of their shoulder to peck at the sides of a volcano and pry off lava rocks that they then carry back to their nests. Because of their shiny, blue color and friendly demeanor, fustonin are often kept as pets and are a popular subject for many children's books, where they're referred to as "fussies".

#118 Herenella

Herenellas are seahorse-like creatures whose bodies form non-euclidean shapes. They feed on ambient temperature differences deep in the ocean. These creatures are very intelligent and will often be found in tight clusters of dozens to hundreds. Herenellas use their long, malleable snouts to communicate with each other, forming a complex language that uses matter-shifting for intonation. While herenellas can also breathe out of water, they rarely have any reason to leave their food source in the ocean depths.

#241 Witango

Witango are large, sturdy crystalline beasts that spend most of their days laying down and enjoying a warm bath in temperate swampwater. They have a hard time getting out of their baths because they are so comfortable, so they employ the help of their children (witangolions) to pull them out when their bath is over. When a witango leaves their bath spot, they typically leave behind an assortment of subterrean crystals that spread from their body, which sell for large amounts to most traders.

#205 Tramik

Tramik are strange creatures also known as the "pufferfish jellyfish". A tramik has no brains and instead subsists on a diet of ambient radiation and sunlight, so they typically float near the surface of whatever body of water they call home. Tramik are about the size of a basketball and are made of twisted and fused bones of many different animals, using the gelatinous substance tramik are known for producing. Tramik move incredibly slowly and will often spend days just floating in place, observing the subtle movement of currents in the water. If a tramik observes the death of another aquatic creature, it will become deeply saddened by the loss of a potential friend and will sometimes stop moving and die within a few days.

#278 Arang'raco

The arang'raco is a large lizard native to the deepest jungles. They are known for their vibrant and colorful scales and the immense sharpness of their front teeth. The arang'raco typically uses its teeth for display and for breaking through tough fruits, but it can also use them for fighting. They typically have a calm and gentle nature, but if they feel threatened by a hostile creature, they will use their powerful legs to leap toward their enemy. An arang'raco bite is usually enough to instantly subdue most predators.
