#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.
#083 Weretree
When a werebeing sheds blood into groundwater, in some rare cases a nearby tree may absorb it and transform into a weretree. After around six weeks of transformation time, the weretree's bark feels rubbery; the branches grow large, meaty muscles; a face may form, though often lacks the vocal cords to speak; and a coveted Essence Tree may sprout directly from its wooden heart, producing nectar, ambrosia, and colorful fruits. Farmers lucky enough to have a weretree born on their farm benefit greatly from the weretree's harvest, but also inexplicably become targets for jealous neighbors.
#147 Herling
The herling is a small bird about the size of a housecat. They are mostly harmless, but are often pests because of their tendency to steal and hoard shiny objects. A herling will take any object that catches their eye, including jewelry, coins, pencils, pens, forks, spoons, knives, scissors, and anything else they can carry. They usually hide these objects in the hollows of trees or other dark recesses of their environment. They are also known for the bright red feathers that emit a slight luminescent glow in low light.
#121 Etorgidur
Etorgidurs are some of the largest creatures in the world, reaching heights of up to 100,000 feet. They are very closely related to the fabled etorgs in origin, but take a more ghostly, ethereal form and largely ignore all other forms of life. Etorgidurs have a much more social lifestyle; they will often gather in groups of up to 50 to eat, sleep, mate, and bask in the ghostly presence of each other. Because they are nonpermeating beings, they can phase through objects in the world and each other, which is what allows so many large etorgidurs to gather at such concentrated locations.
#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.
#031 Hadgeit
Hadgeits are a rare, holy creature that are believed to be the physical manifestation of an ancient god of light. They are extremely rare and are typically found in the presence of other holy creatures. They have a variety of magical abilities, including the ability to create light and to heal themselves and others. When threatened, they can also use their light to blind their attackers and scurry away.
#209 Beleymer
Beleymers are enormous, leopard-like creatures that live in the swamps and marshes in the north. When they are not hunting and eating, they enjoy wallowing in mud and sleeping in the sun. Beleymers live in families and often work together to catch prey, forming long-term familial communities. Beleymer fur is extremely thick and heat-resistant, making their pelts extremely valuable to colder societies.
#184 Urk
Urks are enormous creatures that look like a cross between a turtle and a dolphin. They have strong, boney shells and powerful fins they use to propel themselves through the water. Their shells also contain thousands of chitinous pearls, and they are hunted by poachers for this reason. Hunters believe the delicious urk meat also holds restorative properties. Urks typically live for hundreds of years and only reproduce once during their lifetime.
#267 Groxus
The groxus is the largest known insect in the world. They can grow to be 300 feet long and weigh up to 60 tons. Groxuses are nocturnal, feeding on large mammals and each other. They can be found in forests and deserts throughout the world. Because of their large size, groxi spend a lot of time hunting and will swoop down from the sky to consume entire fields worth of livestock before migrating on to new areas.
