#037 Lesser Cagespider
Named after the bony appendages they use to trap live prey with on their back, the lesser cagespider is a terrifying sight to behold. Unlike their larger variants, these cagespiders are only about the size of a large oak tree. They typically prey on ogres, giants, elephants, and other larger animals.
#098 Amber
Ambers are the bane of a sailor's life and have driven many towns inland, away from the waters. After emerging from most sandy shorelines at night, they sit quietly upon rocks, physically reflecting picturesque faces from your most haunting memories.
#193 Udeneth
The udeneth is a large, light-colored creature that somewhat resembles a llama. It has no ears or nose and must rely on sight and touch to find its food. Udeneths are found on mountainsides where they frequently burrow into the snow, where they will sleep, store food, or hide from other creatures. They are very sensitive to light and will glow when they are touched or if they feel threatened.
#017 Dust Angel
The dust angel is a common critter in arable desert areas. Nutrients from their saliva propagates through plants into the soil, improving yield for all plants in the vicinity. They're extremely rare and expensive, but the richest farming organizations seem to have a limitless supply to use.
#195 Blatheraxe
Blatheraxes are shapeshifting eels that live in the deepest depths of the ocean. They are able to stretch physical appendages from their malleable body and have been known to creatively lure curious divers to their deaths. Adult blatheraxes are typically around ten feet long and will wrap themselves around their prey in a spiral, squeezing tighter and tighter until the prey is crushed. They are extremely poisonous and have been known to consume sharks and other large predators that stray too deep into the ocean.
#377 Ferquill Lumiskimmer
Emerging from the ethereal mists of ancient enchanted lakes and mystical wetlands, the Ferquill Lumiskimmer is a creature of legends. With a body reminiscent of a ferret intertwined with the celestial wisps of a quill, this magical being has the power to dance effortlessly atop water, leaving behind a trail of shimmering stardust. Its feet, imbued with ancient spells, touch the water's surface, invoking ripples that sparkle like a thousand tiny stars. As twilight descends, the Lumiskimmer's silhouette, glowing softly, becomes a beacon of magic in the dimming world. To witness a Ferquill Lumiskimmer is to be touched by a fragment of the universe's oldest enchantments.
#263 Vindsmen
After the devastating CK-295 meteor impact, what little life survived on planet P-192-856B had to radically evolve in order to survive the planet's new radioactive atmosphere. Vindsmen were once a variant of the common earth ape whose DNA began to diverge shortly after being seeded onto the planet; however, the few changes that occurred prior to CK-295 were dwarfed by its impact. Vindsmen have largely migrated from forests and jungles to caves deep underground, where they eat mushrooms, small plants, and insects. Most notably, vindsmen have evolved an amorphous muscular system that allows them not only to reshape their body at will, but also to combine with other vindsmen into a singular entity. Although rare, some sightings have reported gigantic vindsmen clusters of hundreds of connected apes. Vindsmen have a short lifespan due to an extremely high frequency of cancer.
#338 Flarthog
Flarthogs are a species of wandering, burrowing creatures that look like tiny pink hedgehogs with giant ears. They have no concept of personal property and will take whatever they want from each other or people's homes, though once they have an object, they usually carry it around with them everywhere. Each flarthog has a unique personality, and some are known to be very aggressive. Their only source of food is a slimy bacterial organism that they grow on the underside of their quills, which commonly leads to bouts of cannibalism in some areas.
#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.
