#001 Haissa
Haissa are a friendly species distantly related to frogs. They spend most of their time climbing trees to find great vantage points to observe the ongoings of life below and have been known to purposefully shake branches to drop food for hungry creatures below.
#024 Gnawl
Gnawls are a small, nocturnal, mountain-dwelling species that are known for their ability to carve caves into mountains and their distinctive multi-layered teeth. They are also known for their ability to communicate with each other through a series of low-pitched moans and growls. Their diet consists of insects, small rodents, and small birds.
#107 Vlaughd
Vlaughd are demonic-looking, bat-winged desert creatures. They have extremely long prehensile tongues and their saliva is acidic enough to corrode metal. They have razor-sharp teeth and large, blood-red eyes. They are highly carnivorous and will attack and eat almost any other creature they come across. They are extremely fast and agile, and will not hesitate to pick a fight with a much larger adversary.
#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.
#162 Dansi
The dansi is a species of fish that can be found near the water surface in many areas of the world. They have an average length of fifteen inches and an average weight of thirty ounces. Dansis have a very flexible spine which allows them to make rapid turns and twists when trying to catch prey or avoid predators. They are typically dark yellow in color and have a large dorsal fin.
#160 Mechacrab
Mechacrabs were ironically given their name after a sarcastic explorer discovered the species in an underground cave on a spiritual voyage deep in the far east. Mechacrabs have detachable legs and hard, modular shells that they can reconfigure and reattach new legs and hand-made appendages anywhere they need them. It is believed they are incredibly smart and inventive, but the species lacks the physiology necessary for speech or language functions and is plagued by a particularly short natural lifespan.
#301 Saski
The saski is a species of airborn sanni that often can often be found following cumulonimbus clouds, though their migratory patterns have them almost everywhere on the planet at least once a year. Saski have an average length of two hundred feet and an average weight of three thousand pounds. Saskis are known for their ability to squirt ink from their bodies which causes an immediate onset of intense psychosis in most creatures, which is used both as a defense mechanism and when hunting prey.
#251 Gorgolasa
Gorgolasas are giant carnivorous spiders with very sensitive eyes and hearing. They have a speed and agility comparable to that of a human, and they will often hunt in packs to bring down larger creatures. Despite their ferociousness, when humans have tried to domesticate them, they have proven to be extremely loyal and affectionate, often attempting to cuddle and nuzzle their masters when they get the chance. Gorgolasas produce a fine silk that is both strong and light.
#300 Orimpa
Orimpas are small and fluffy creatures that resemble a cross between a squirrel and a small cat. They have large ears and a long, bushy tail, and their bodies are covered in soft, gray fur. Some regional variations also develop white or orange spots in their fur. Orimpas are extremely intelligent and have excellent memories; they also have a good sense of smell and can hear very low-frequency sounds. Orimpas are generally peaceful creatures, but are known to become very violent when threatened. They live in large groups and spend most of their time foraging for food. Their favorite food is acorns and sunflowers, which they crush on rocks to form a mixed powder that they sprinkle on other foods for flavor.
