#101 Dhagarem
Dhagarems are a common species of invisible beast that can be found across the world, but most commonly in unsettled areas. They are mostly nocturnal, but their shadows can sometimes be seen in the day if they wake up hungry. It is unclear what dhagarems actually eat.
#040 Menta
Menta tunnel their long, fish-looking tails through the seafloor and bait larger fish into biting it. The menta use a low-level form of mind control to then will the fish into the real menta body's mouth. Mentas have no known age or size limit and seem to grow 1-2 additional tails every decade, which continue to grow in length over time and can be independently controlled.
#084 Hathawallow
Hathawallows are slow, bulky land walruses that choose to travel among packs of other species, forming symbiotic relationships wherever they go. The average hathawallow is incredibly smart and manipulative, often positioning itself to sacrifice those in its herd before any harm could possibly come to it. Hathawallow fur is coveted for its silky texture and warmness, and its stark, blue blubber can be used for a myriad of useful purposes. Tracking and bringing down a hathawallow is a fiscally-fruitful endeavor — as long as things go well for the hunters.
#052 D'Geft
D'geft are stone elementals that pass freely through mountains and stone, living solitary lives. Catching a d'geft binds his will to yours, enabling the binding one to control that d'geft's powers as if they were your own. When d'geft die, their souls weigh heavily on shifting tectonic plates that cause earthquakes and century-long ruptures that ultimately form a new mountain over time, which serves as an incubator for a new d'geft to eventually form within.
#142 Nethele
Netheles are physical-realm ghosts that are cursed to haunt cities and forests. They are not necessarily evil but are tricksy, always trying to trick the people they encounter into doing something foolish. Netheles don't have mouths, but can speak to people telepathically in a way that emulates the sound of the listener's own voice. They often play pranks on people by taking their stuff and moving it around until they get very confused, but older or more aggressive netheles occasionally resort to more harmful and ill-willed pranks and trickery.
#377 Ferquill Lumiskimmer
Emerging from the ethereal mists of ancient enchanted lakes and mystical wetlands, the Ferquill Lumiskimmer is a creature of legends. With a body reminiscent of a ferret intertwined with the celestial wisps of a quill, this magical being has the power to dance effortlessly atop water, leaving behind a trail of shimmering stardust. Its feet, imbued with ancient spells, touch the water's surface, invoking ripples that sparkle like a thousand tiny stars. As twilight descends, the Lumiskimmer's silhouette, glowing softly, becomes a beacon of magic in the dimming world. To witness a Ferquill Lumiskimmer is to be touched by a fragment of the universe's oldest enchantments.
#274 SLP-059
SLP-059 is a stable organic mutation of the venus fly trap, successfully designed and created at the [redacted] facility in [redacted], Virginia. SLP-059 can be recognized by its thick, mossy feet and long bristles which can extend up to six inches to capture and pull in insects and small animals. SLP-059 also contains an enzyme capable of breaking up any nonmetal material, making it technically capable of consuming almost anything. SLP-059 can go for extremely long lengths without food or water, drawing from reserved contained in its mossy stump legs. It is strongly advised to never leave SLP-059 unrestrained, or without direct human supervision.
#284 Senjfisk
Senjfisk use thousands of microscopic limbs to move sand around them, enabling them to effectively swim through sand and loose dirt. These nocturnal carnivores also undergo a biological stasis while sleeping, which completely stops all but their most vital autonomous functions, including breathing. On particularly hot desert days, senjfisk will often sleep in any oasis nearby, sometimes sleeping underwater for days or weeks at a time.
#343 Qualya
The first record of the gargantuan qualya was recorded by scientists on a digging expedition nearly a century ago, where they reported instrument malfunctions, tremors, and fits of temporary insanity. Since then, those who have studied qualya hypothesize that this creature is capable of controlling a wide variety of other underground critters, and uses a form of shared mind to remain largely undetected by predators or inquisitive human eyes. This induction into the shared mind seems to leave many creatures with deep discolorations on their skin or cancerous tumors within, yet no autopsies have revealed a chemical or biological cause that links them directly to qualya. There is much left to be understood about this ancient behemoth.
