#370 D'eggio
This fearsome matriarch stalks egg-laying creatures in swamps and wetlands until it finds the perfect time to strike, then takes over their prey's egg-laden nest as if it were their own. D'eggios will lay on top of eggs for days or weeks at a time while tendril-like spikes on their underside piece each egg with microscopic holes and inject their own DNA directly into the egg, resulting in abominable mutant creatures that are more like d'eggios than their original species, although both parts often show through. Although most d'eggio offspring don't live long enough to reproduce, some variants can completely take over an entire biome with the right genetics.
#049 Emollo
Emollo are a race of intelligent grub-like creatures that evolved arms and legs while living in gigantic, underground cities. They stand approximately three centimeteres tall and typically live around eighty years, spending approximately half of that in their long-term school system.
#135 Lononin
Lononins are strange, trans-dimensional birds that are infamous for their ability to teleport anything they touch into another dimension. With no ears, all lononins are deaf. Younger lononins are usually very skittish and shy, often immediately teleporting away from unwary travelers who get too close.
#104 Ayri
Ayris are large, green worms that live near shallow waters. They can grow to be up to ten feet long and weigh up to four hundred pounds. They have a mouth with a large tongue in the middle of their head, which they use to feed on small fish, crabs and other marine animals. Ayri mobility is extremely limited: they lack any bones and instead rely on a complex network of contracting muscles around their bulbous mass of body fat.
#230 Pinlup
The humble pinlup is a delightful breed of small animal common in wild areas near human settlements. It's a popular activity for parents to bring their kids out to play with pinlups, providing them with bread and berries to eat; in return, pinlups bless those they play with with good luck and fortune. Pinlup tongues are bright blue and used to be heavily poached for trophies, but the species' rapid population growth over the past decade has devalued any perceived rarity or uniqueness, allowing the species to thrive even further.
#196 Fa'gu'leyth
The monstrous fa'gu'leyth is an extradimensional parasite from an unknown source. Initial tests indicate the fa'gu'leyth is capable of infecting native plantlife (especially moss) with a hivemind-like syndrome. It has been determined that the fa'gu'leyth consciousness can perceive its surroundings from the point of view of any infected plant, and seems to also be capable of reproducing via spores emitted from the bright green moss that grows on its body. A mutated vascular system allows the fa'gu'leyth to perform an indirect form of photosynthesis via the algae that grows rampant in its cardiovascular systems.
#302 Aglolof
Aglolof is a large, winged creature that lives at extremely high altitudes, often above the clouds. It has a long, thin body and enormous wings, attracting many would-be riders to attempt to climb up to their lair, but few survive the journey, both because of the difficulty of their ascent and their host's violent reactions to their presence. They feed on insects and small mammals, and their excrement is often used by shoemakers to strengthen leather. They are born in clutches of 15-17 eggs, and will lash out at any perceived threat to their young.
#350 Ddeinn
The ddeinn roams swamps and lava fields looking for fresh meat in an endless pursuit of food. Although ddeinns are strict carnivores, they have no preference on what meat they eat, often resorting to cannibalism or rotten meat when alternatives are scarce. Ddeinn's powerful wings allow them to traverse long distances quickly; whether they're swooping in from miles above or charging along the ground, there are few creatures that can escape this predator's razor-sharp, hungry maw. Ddeinn emit so much heat from their body that they can cook meat by sleeping on it, but this vast energy exodus is also what requires them to constantly be on the hunt for more, more, more.
#259 Gghun'vur
Gghun'vur are small insects with 13 legs that live in the coldest frozen tundras in the world. Their internal body temperature is very close to absolute zero, which severely limits the temperatures they can survive in; harsh, freezing temperatures comparatively feel like a sunny day to them and they manage to keep warm in these environments. Gghun'vur hunt other insects and small creatures via a combination of high-speed sprinting and a powerful jump, which the gghun'vur uses to tackle and wrap its legs around its prey, instantly freezing them. An enyzme from the gghun'vur's saliva breaks down biomass within frozen hunks as they lick it, allowing this small creature to consume entire frozen meals with just its small, barbed tongue.
