#058 Forrest
Forrests are ghostly entities that inhabit jungles and forests. They are largely transclucent and intangible, typically only able to affect the world through moving wind. In the foggiest nights, a forrest can be seen with the naked eye. Locals often refer to forrests as the "soul of the forest".
#022 Xianc'onent
Since the beginning of storytelling, sailors have told stories of horrible terrors hiding at the bottom of the oceans. These xianc'onents are said to emit a low vibration that amplifies through water and can be felt, just barely, while aboard larger ships. They usually stick primarily to the ocean floor, often living among sunken ships and wreckage, but male xianc'onents will also ascend to higher elevations during their brief mating seasons.
#146 Forsydifs
Forsydifs are a variant of ant that has evolved to live on the backs of humanoids, from whom they eat dead skin cells. They spend most of their lives crawling between the dermis and epidermis of their hosts and are capable of surviving on just dead skin and perspiration for their entire lives. They do not harm their hosts and are considered to be beneficial as they clean the skin and help prevent infection.
#171 Horsnau
These radioactive snails descend from the common snail but have mutated to grow branching, interconnected shells around long, eel-like bodies. Horsnaus typically live 20-25 years and then die in their shell, which is often too intricate to be reused by another horsnau. While a horsnau shell isn't particularly hard or structurally sound, their toxic, foul-smelling meat deters most would-be predators.
#327 Henevaspider
Henevaspiders are small creatures about the size of a schoolbus that are found in the mountains. They have dozens of long, thin legs, which have a sticky fluid on the underside of them, allowing them to cling to even the most treacherous rocky surfaces. Their bodies are soft and fragile and are covered with tiny, thin hairs; the hairs act like a web to capture small insects and bring them to the henevaspiders' mouths. Henevaspiders usually live in small communities of about fifty of themselves and will sometimes steal and ransom the eggs of other creatures in exchange for tasty offerings.
#314 Ghiana
Ghiana are a distant aquatic relative to ancient starfish that pump electricity through their veins and filter water into liquid carbon, which they passively absorb. Although these colorful fish are known for their beauty (and weirdness), the color they appear as depends entirely on the emotional state of their viewer. Those with a clear conscious will see them as a light pink, while those with deep secrets will see a darker red or orange. In rare cases, some people claim to see ghiana of other colors; however, scientists are still unsure of how ghiana color-changing mechanisms work and what exactly dictates who sees what color.
#322 Ungarmel
When a creature is near, an ungarmel on the prowl will curl up in a ball and hover above the ground, doing its best to blend in with the environment in order to catch its prey unaware. When the time is right, the ungarmel will attack by releasing the creature inside it that drinks blood. After a successful hunt, the creature returns and eventually shares its spoils from inside the ungarmel.
#120 Cuuyn
A cuuyn is a strange, slow-moving creature that can only survive in areas where the air contains a certain, top-secret compound. A cuuyn's lifespan is directly correlated with the density of the compound it breathes: the denser, the longer the cuuyn will live, with no documented upper limit. As a cuuyn ages, its bodily cycles speed up exponentially, significantly increasing its metabolism, gestation period, and immune systems. It is widely believed that cuuyns were artificially created for government animal testing, but no one has ever found proof.
#364 Broque
Broque are small, bipedal amphibians best known for their sad demeanor, deep blue skin, and their ability to camouflage into their surroundings when standing perfectly still. They are often found in moist, forested areas and are known to be shy creatures, avoiding human contact whenever possible. They are primarily nocturnal, spending the majority of their days sleeping in burrows or hiding in bushes. Broques are known for their highly developed vocalizations, using a variety of clicks, chirps, and whistles to communicate with one another. They have a strong sense of community, living in small groups and working together to find food and defend their territory. In terms of reproduction, broques are known for their elaborate courtship rituals, which involve singing, dancing, and exchanging gifts of food. They typically give birth to small clutches of eggs, which they fiercely protect until they hatch into tadpoles. The young are then cared for by the entire group, with all members taking turns hunting and gathering food for the growing broques.
