#037 Lesser Cagespider
Named after the bony appendages they use to trap live prey with on their back, the lesser cagespider is a terrifying sight to behold. Unlike their larger variants, these cagespiders are only about the size of a large oak tree. They typically prey on ogres, giants, elephants, and other larger animals.
#020 Starbug
Fully-grown starbugs make up the majority of visible lights in the night sky with their planet-sized bodies, but baby starbugs hatch and spend most of their pre-celestial life on abandoned planets until they learn to fly well enough to pierce gravity wells. When their eggs are laid in space, they are made of one of the strongest materials known to man. They drift endlessly, often for centuries, until they find a planet with sufficient gravitational pull to draw them into its atmosphere. The meteoric impact is what cracks the shell and releases a newborn starbug.
#070 Cycti
Cycti are an artificial race created by infusing gorilla DNA in a spliced cactus-bramble plant that evolved sentience and intelligence only a year after inception. Now, they roam the deserts with armies of sub-humans blindly following their vast intelligence, strength, and survival skills. Their name is naturally pronounced with unnatural vocal sounds, but humans typically call them "kicks".
#216 Zelorgbia
Zelorgbian creatures are relatively simple jellyfish-related invertibrates that live on the edges of the ocean. Zelorgbians come on shore to bask in the sunlight and to lay their eggs. However, they can't move on land and risk dehydration if they're beached, so they choose to stay as close to the water's edge as possible. They are very sociable and will often move in huge herds, which sometimes get swept long distances by strong ocean currents.
#221 Gormilgrimimrsa
Gormilgrimimrsa are tall, green, and lean creatures that live in the forest. They are extremely agile and can run for half a day on pure adrenaline, but can be very sensitive. To hunt, they use their keen sense of hearing to find prey, then use a mix of sticks and grass to craft weapons. Gormilgrimimrsa are very lonely creatures and will emotionally attach themselves to whoever is paying attention to them, often to their detriment.
#208 Marvenken
Marvenkens are sea creatures that prey specifically on sailors and passengers to small- to medium-sized boats. Although they typically dwell near the bottom of whatever body of water they've called home, any time a marvenken finds something shiny along the ocean floor they will float closer to the surface in search of boats and unassuming victims. By holding the shiny object in their mouth, they'll reflect sunlight towards the boat to draw attention to itself and hold the object just beneath the surface, as if offering it to the ship's passenger. If their prey reaches into the water to grab the object, the marvenken will quickly wrap a dozen tentacled appendages around whatever they can and pull their dinner into the water, where it is quickly dragged back down into the depths and never seen again.
#212 Steevlen
The steevlen is an adorable creature that lives in the forests of the world. They are small, round lion-like creatures (usually about three feet tall) that love to hug and lick. Their saliva contains a mild poison that often can be used to stun attackers. Steevlen are typically pack hunters and live in large familial groups that claim any interesting geological formations in the area as their own, where they will often keep all of their spoils.
#178 Xi'gind
The xi'gind is an unintelligent creature that shares more DNA with terrestrial flora than fauna. A single xi bulb, given the proper care and environment, can sprout a newborn xi'gind within a matter of weeks. Although the xi'gind head then grows vertically out of the soil, xi'ginds also accelerate root-like growth of fleshy appendages that can grow from the ground over a hundred yards away. It is currently unknown how the xi'gind controls these remote appendages, as they don't seem to share a physical connection with the head.
#360 Jadyx
Jadyx are large, flightless birds whose metallic scales shimmer brightly in the moonlight, giving them a truly mesmerizing appearance. They are native to the dense, humid rainforests of the far south, where they can often be found foraging for fruit and small insects among the lush vegetation. Despite their impressive size, Jadyx are generally quite docile and peaceful creatures, preferring to avoid conflict whenever possible. However, they are fiercely protective of their young and will not hesitate to defend them if they feel threatened. In terms of ecology, Jadyx play a vital role in their ecosystem as seed dispersers, spreading the seeds of the fruit they eat throughout the rainforest. They are also an important food source for larger predatory animals, such as jaguars and pumas. Overall, the Jadyx are a vital part of the delicate balance of life in the southern rainforests.
