#170 Hevvet

Hevvets are intelligent, house-sized horse-like creatures that frequent the snowy tundras and far north. Hevvets were historically unfriendly creatures—aggressively attacking anyone near their homogenous cities—until a large war broke out in the region that divided up the land among the victors. Nowadays, most hevvets have integrated into human societies and the few historically-hevvet cities left might as well be human societies now, given that hevvets account for less than 1% of the population in even the densest city. It is said that there are groups of traditional hevvets still living in caves and the wilderness, scheming and plotting a golden new age for their dying race. There are rumors that a single purely-hevvet town still exists somewhere called the "Warden".

#143 Gonagan

Gonagans are small, furry creatures that resemble a large, long-haired dog. They live primarily in the northern continents and love to build elaborate settlements comprised of shaped ice, debris, and crystalline structures. They are also extremely territorial and will quickly resort to deadly violence if their land is threatened by a human or other creature. Gonagans also have four sets of nipples beneath their long fur, all of which produce a very mild sedative that is extremely effective on humans. In many northern areas, gonagans were widely bred as a source of medication for the indigenous populations. In the east, gonagan tea is commonly consumed as a mild recreational drug and has gained the gonagan a large cult following.

#127 Joprao

The joprao is a flying, amphibious creature which grows to be about four meters in length. It makes its nest in the long grasses of the savanna, where it lays and incubates its eggs. In order to attract mates and protect its territory, the joprao will create long, brightly colored ribbons of hair, which it attaches to its back and chest. When a male joprao is attempting to win a female, it will flap its wings to produce a high-pitched clicking sound at a unique frequency which only their mate will hear. Although few jopraos can hear each other, they can all be heard by humans; as such, joprao mating season is enough to force almost everyone in the area away for weeks at a time.

#128 Sprindull

Sprindulls are extremely large, short-haired bears that live extraordinarily long lives in the deserts with no known predators. Their intelligence level has been measured as slightly above human level and older sprindulls have shown an innate capability for understanding human language, although they don't have the vocal chords necessary to formulate their own human speech. Desert towns will often adopt a sprindull of their own as a kind of mascot, forming a symbiotic relationship between the town and the bear.

#217 Jauxckle

The jauxckle is a small mammal that typically calls colder forests its home, but will often wander into new areas in its post-life undead state. Although jauxckles exclusively feed on berries and other vegetation during their life, they also include meat in their diet during their undeath. A chemical process occurs upon their death that continues to animate their muscular system, moving the jauxckle using muscle memory but without an associated consciousness; although dead jauxckles look alive, they are merely shadows of their former life and cannot think, sense their environment, or feel pain. A side effect of this chemical process produces a thick, chromatic goo that oozes from their pores and keeps the body supple and moisturized.

#243 Banabat

Banabats are small, flying creatures of the night best known for their bright yellow coloring and unique reproduction cycle. Banabats are friendly to most species and primarily feed on tree sap by using their sharp teeth to pierce deep holes through bark. While feeding, an enzyme in their saliva mixes back into the tree, fertilizing it. After a tree is fertilized, it will start growing a patch of typically 12-14 additional banabats sprouting directly from its branches.

#250 Parloi

Parlois are large, herbivorous reptiles without a face that spend most of their time in the water. They are easygoing, almost to a fault. They will often ignore predators and let them eat them if it means that they can continue to relax. Their favorite food is leaves that have fallen from trees, and they have a strong grip that allows them to hold a floating branch on the water’s surface for hours as they munch away.

#270 Whisper

Whisper bulbs (also affectionally known as "screamers" in windier locales) are sentient plant-animal hybrids that eventually emerge from trees pollinated by The Whisperer. Whispers are also capable of reproducing by infecting the tree with a virus that spreads to other locations in the tree, and may sometimes spread to nearby trees using crosspollination. Although whispers are immobile and cannot hunt, they are capable of tapping the tree they've grown out of for nutrients. Left alone, whispers generally match the lifespan of the tree they depend on, although too many whispers absorbing nutrients from a single tree may kill it. The shape of a whisper produces a distinct, high-pitched whistle when wind passes through it, increasing in decibels as the speed of the wind increases.

#347 Spectrowl

This large avian is colloquially known as the "master of camouflage" because of the hard, spectral shards that cover its body. These scales contain thousands of prisms that capture ambient light and reflect a perfect representation of an uninterrupted atmosphere, effectively rendering the spectrowl invisible at most wavelengths. Because spectrowl shards are so delicate, their system camouflage can easily be damaged or disrupted in the event of a physical injury; when this happens, they have been known to reflect laser-focused beams of light that may temporarily or permanently blind those nearby. In ancient times, spectrowl were thought to be creatures from another dimension and were purposefully injured at large gatherings to produce great spectacles of light.
