#029 Chreish

Chreish are sprawling, shapeless creatures that lack the traditional skin and body of most creatures. Instead, they grow long, entwined limbs of pure hair which act like roots to leech nutrients from the plants and soil they crawl over. They shed a lot of hair when moving and are generally seen as pests outside of the coldest climates, where their hair is a more precious resource.

#072 Mevi

Mevi is an ancient snake that's survived for hundreds of thousands of years, outliving all other intelligent life on the planet. It has developed an extraordinary taste for confusion in its prey, and so it plays intricate tricks on unsuspecting victims before they become dinner.

#109 Swox Majora

The swox majora is an exotic variant of the common swox moth that grows several magnitudes larger than their minora cousins. Swox majora have unwieldy, feathery wings that are heavy with the pearlescent pigments they use to attact mates. Any time the air gets too moist, swox majora are forced to lie out and sunbathe until their wings are dry enough to fly. As such, they prefer the drier climates atop mountains and largely keep to themselves, although they've evolved a wide array of defence mechanisms that have proved useful against most predators.

#113 Vune Ballow

Small vune ballow dragons are commonly found throughout the world. They are covered in beautifully prismatic scales and are able to fly short distances, but tire quickly. Depending on the color of their eyes, they can typically breathe a small amount of fire or ice. They very greatly in size depending on the region, ranging roughly from the size of a caterpillar to the size of a snake. While some vune ballows are hostile and dangerous, many are friendly and playful.

#223 Flignog

Flignogs are small, furred creatures that can usually be found in trees, grasslands, and caves. They often band together in small tribes, and are known to "bray" at each other to communicate. They are omnivores and spend much time hunting small animals and gathering fruit. They have also grown to enjoy the "brayberries" of the braytree, which flignogs often collect and bury in secret troves for later.

#207 Skeighnog

Skeighnogs are vicious and bloodthirsty creatures from the vast forests of the world. They are small, roughly the size of a small dog but with a long, scaly tail and a bulbous, pouchy stomach. They are predators and will eat anything they can catch and fit in their mouths, but their favorite prey is the klelag, which they hunt by burrowing into the thick grasses of the nests. When a skeighnog attacks its prey, it usually does it from above, leaping down on its target and impaling them with its long, curved claws. A skeighnog can run very fast and has the speed to catch a human, but they are more likely to feast on their fallen prey until they've eaten their fill before chasing anything else.

#192 Crindelino

Crindelino (meaning "giant armored ones" in an ancient script) are New World placental cold-blooded mammals. Crindelinos live isolated lives in the hottest deserts for long lifespans currently estimated to be over two thousand years long. Crindelinos are characterized by a leathery armor shell and long, sharp claws at the end of even longer arms. They have long legs, but are incredibly inflexible creatures, which impedes their mobility and speed. Newborn crindelinos typically measure between five and six feet tall, yet older crindelinos can grow to be over six hundred feet tall. Although they would be extremely capable predators, crindelinos frequently roll up into an armored ball whenever they are threatened by a predator, big or small.

#225 Astorvega

An astorvega is a slow, lumbering creature covered in a thick, brown fur. It is roughly the same size as a bear and has large, powerful claws on its forelimbs that help it dig through snow or into small holes to sleep. The astorvega is a solitary creature, moving slowly across the tundra and frozen plains, munching on grasses and shrubs. Although they typically live around 100 years, their maximum lifespan is thought to be at least a thousand years in ideal conditions. They are extremely docile creatures given their size, usually only retaliating if threatened. Astorvegas leave behind mounds of shedded fur any time the temperature rises even a little bit.

#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.
