A wild creature appears!

Oskurgi

Oskurgis are frog-like creatures that make their homes in the nutrient-rich mud piles found in the swampy forests of the world. Since their skin has a weak, porous texture and is very sensitive to sunlight, oskurgis prefer to remain inside large shells for the whole of their lives. They are very easily frightened and have no defense mechanism other than to curl up into their shell and sink underwater. Although no one knows why, there are some rare flowers that only ever bloom in the presence of an oskurgi.

#073 Pinbin Snake

Pinbin snakes are totally harmless, almost-friendly creatures. They eat grass, lick rocks for fun, and rarely grow more than a foot long. Their eyes are a delicacy among the rich.

#059 Croixstel

Croixstel are large bull-like creatures that produce an incredibly-thick coat of fur, which simultaneously makes most croixstel completely impervious (and unaware) of any and all physical contact, but also ultimately results in an inevitable death by overheating. Upon the death of a croixstel, traders from all over the world will swoop in to claim as much croixstel fur as they can sell.

#086 Jhinx

The noble jhinx is an ancient race of sphinx that escaped global disaster and found a new home among the deep jungles in the world, where it lived for several thousand years before being rediscovered as an entirely new species. Jhinx seem to be capable of replicating the natural sounds of any other animal it encounters and superstitious folk believe it has the ability to converse with any other animal in their own tongue, including humans. No reported human-jhinx conversation has ever been verified.

#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".

#129 Axytun

Axytuns are a small species of landfish native to the rolling fields of the east. Although axytuns are naturally pitch black, albinism is so rampant in the species that black axytuns are often captured and resold as expensive pets. They are born in litters of ten to twenty, and are kept together in a pack by the same mother for their entire lives. Axytun packs are very loyal to each other and will aggressively squeak at any creature that threatens one of their own.

#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.

#223 Flignog

Flignogs are small, furred creatures that can usually be found in trees, grasslands, and caves. They often band together in small tribes, and are known to "bray" at each other to communicate. They are omnivores and spend much time hunting small animals and gathering fruit. They have also grown to enjoy the "brayberries" of the braytree, which flignogs often collect and bury in secret troves for later.

#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.

#156 Salnodist

Salnodists are water-dwelling reptiles that hunt by inching slowly towards their prey and trapping them in their mouths before they can escape. The lower jaw is supported by a flexible bone that allows for a larger mouth. They have no eyes, and instead rely on smell to locate prey. This sense of smell is quite good, and they can detect a fish from at least a mile away. Their teeth are blunt, and they are incapable of chewing, so they must swallow their food whole. They have no predators, as their tough skin is almost impossible to puncture, and it is often covered in algae that make the salnodist much less appetizing. Salnodists can grow to be over eight feet long and weigh more than two thousand pounds.
