A wild creature appears!

Seullen

Seullen are large, humanoid predators that contort their bodies into the optical illusion of a large bird to lure in and pick a fight with other large predators. Nearby villages can hear the tell-tale sounds of these fights from the haunting laughter of the seullen. It is unclear whether they simply always win these fights or if they laugh so hard regardless of outcome.

#065 Aetyl Squid

Aetyl squids swim through sand like their aquatic cousins do through water. They survive off a primarily-meat diet that are captured either by trap or a surprise emergence from the sand, dragging their prey back underground. The aetyl squid also mixes sand with pungent ink to preserve leftover food for a long time.

#060 Brugnul

Brugnuls are microscopic parasites that can be found in most environments. They are commonly found in the bodies of other creatures, but can also be found on the ground, in water, and in the air. They are extremely hard to detect, and can be difficult to remove if they are located in the brain or other vital organs, where they can cause a variety of symptoms. Brugnuls are extremely resilient and almost always outlive their hosts.

#117 Gomligu

The gomligu is an large creature that resembles a rabbit, but with a long tail and thick, grey patches of rubbery skin. The gomligu is a rather shy and timid creature that flees readily, but they can occasionally be seen wandering about in enchanted forests on their hind legs if you're quiet enough to sneak up on one. While it's generally thought to be good luck to see a gomligu, it is strongly advised you never chase one.

#173 Alu'fiku

Alu'fiku are reef-dwelling fish most notable for their false "dorsal eye", which remains open while they sleep to help deter smaller predators. This is particularly helpful for alu'fiku because they sleep in open waters, coasting forward as if swimming, rather than hiding somewhere safe for their sleep. This lets the alu'fiku cover vast underwater distances in their sleep and migrate from reef to reef without too much difficulty.

#269 Oceanstar

The oceanstar is a common salt-water marine mollusk. Oceanstars got their name from sailors who could just barely make out twinkling lights beneath the ocean waves in the pitch of night. Oceanstars are herbivores that feed on microplants and detritus that settle along the ocean floor. Although oceanstars are beautiful to look at from afar, touching one may permanently damage its ability to emit light.

#281 Mazurath

The mazurath are a class of giant serpentine creatures that have lived in the deep recesses of the ocean for millennia, if not longer. Mazurath are peaceful creatures but, due to their immense size, sailors often attack them after mistaking them for common sea monsters. Inevitably, the only sailors that live to tell the tale of such mistakes are those who the mazurath lose interest in. A fully-grown mazurath can reach a length of over thirteen thousand meters and has a thick, muscular body with fin-like protrusions, which it uses for propulsion. Although the tips of their tentacles may sometimes breach the ocean surface, mazurath rarely leave the deepest ocean depths.

#252 Vifbort

Vifborts are a species of large, seemingly-immortal worms that live deep underground. Their skin is extremely sensitive and can feel vibrations from miles away. They are endlessly hunted by other worms for food and dominance, but have no effective predators, as their skin is resistant to fire, acid, blunt force, and punctures.

#354 Loqui

Loqui are a small species of upright, bipedal reptiles that are best known for long-distance marches across flatlands like meadows, deserts, and plains in sizable migratory crowds. During the spring, loqui will gather in these immense crowds and begin their season-long march, picking up and/or leaving loqui in new locations along the way. The carefree sounds of a loqui march can often be heard from almost a mile away. The flowers that grow on the back of these reptiles have an interesting microcosm of pollination and cross-breeding, driven primarily by their migration. Solitary groups of loqui will find that their flowers will unify into a single color and shape over time, while traveling loqui will grow new kinds of flowers depending on the group they're in. Some large corporations own large loqui farms where they manage and breed their flocks for specific flowers, which they mass-harvest every fall for sale, often to medicinal or pharmaceutical companies.

#378 Teshi Nurturi

The Teshi Nurturi are strange creatures that look like eggs but contain a thriving colony of pseudo bacteria. This colony is semi-sentient, and to the people of the planet Yav'Gara, the Teshi Nurturi is the perfect first pet for any child as it is simple to take care of, needing only some sugar water and a bit of dirt once a week. In Yav'Garan culture, they are seen as a symbol of growth and prosperity, and it is a common tradition to gift one to a newborn or a young child. Some families even raise a Teshi Nurturi alongside a child, believing that if both reach adulthood, they will share a deep spiritual bond. The pseudo bacteria inside the egg-like structure are special in several ways. Firstly and most usefully for the rest of the civilized galaxy, they are universally ingestible. Secondly, given an appropriate interface, the pseudo bacteria can act as a semi-stable form of biological-digital storage medium, allowing data to be stored and retrieved in a way that surpasses most synthetic storage solutions. Lastly, they never stop growing. So long as they are appropriately fed, the Teshi Nurturi will continue to expand. The capital city of Yav'Gara holds the current record with a Teshi Nurturi that is nearly sixty feet tall and weighs several thousand tons. In some rural areas, people have cultivated them into structural supports and even entire dwellings, hollowing them out while keeping the bacterial colony intact. The lifecycle of the Teshi Nurturi, when left alone in nature, is rather simple. The pseudo bacteria hatch from a strange mix of egg sack and shell and immediately start consuming any nutrients they can find. As they metabolize these nutrients, their waste products form the creature's shell. After the first six weeks of life, the Teshi Nurturi is roughly the size of a small chicken's egg. At this stage in the wild, other creatures commonly consume them. A reaction between the pseudo bacteria and digestive fluids causes the formation of a new egg sack, which is excreted, and the cycle begins anew. Several theories suggest that the pseudo bacteria that hatch are identical to the ones consumed, implying a form of biological reincarnation. Others believe the Teshi Nurturi is the longest-lived organism ever discovered, with its bacterial colony continuously regenerating over millennia. While neither theory has been definitively proven, both have passionate supporters, particularly among eco-activist and fringe scientific communities. Beyond their cultural and theoretical importance, the Teshi Nurturi has numerous scientific and technological applications. Their pseudo bacteria are a powerful probiotic, aiding digestion and immune system health across many species. Some corporations have even experimented with them as living batteries, harnessing bioelectricity generated from their metabolic processes. More controversially, they are being studied as potential medicinal treatments, as certain strains show promise in regenerating tissue and extending lifespans. Furthermore, rare specimens have exhibited unexpected mutations—such as unique shell patterns resembling text or glyphs—which have intrigued researchers at the University of Yav'Gara. In the modern world, the Teshi Nurturi is a universal food staple. Massive farms accelerate their growth using specialized fertilizers, artificial hormones, and amino acids, producing vast quantities to feed the galaxy. Chefs and culinary experts have also found that varying the nutrients provided can create Teshi Nurturi with distinct flavors, leading to gourmet variations prized in high-end restaurants. Legends speak of an ancient Teshi Nurturi hidden deep in the Yav'Garan swamps—one that has been growing for centuries and may have developed true sentience. Known as the "Great Sleeping Nurturi," it is rumored to be the size of a mountain, and some believe it is the guardian of the planet’s ecosystem. Meanwhile, reports of unusually large or strangely behaving Teshi Nurturi have led to strict planetary export regulations. Smugglers and black-market dealers often try to transport them off-world, where they are in high demand for their unique properties. The planetary government and the University of Yav'Gara ask that any anomalous behavior be reported to them immediately and any specimens that fall outside what is considered normal be returned to Yav'Gara for study.
