#371 Tangleweaver
If you find this strange egg nestled in leaves in the darkest part of the forest, do not touch it. Run as far and as fast as you can. Those who come too near the tangleweaver will be entranced, and fall into a deep sleep while vines grow over their bodies, hiding what was done. When the tangleweaver hatches, it will crawl into and infect the victim, using the body as a disguise to mingle with humans. It will suck on the souls of the humans around it for years, until the day it has grown large and strong enough to break free of its human suit and begin feasting on flesh.
#118 Herenella
Herenellas are seahorse-like creatures whose bodies form non-euclidean shapes. They feed on ambient temperature differences deep in the ocean. These creatures are very intelligent and will often be found in tight clusters of dozens to hundreds. Herenellas use their long, malleable snouts to communicate with each other, forming a complex language that uses matter-shifting for intonation. While herenellas can also breathe out of water, they rarely have any reason to leave their food source in the ocean depths.
#218 Sihzzh
A sihzzh is an aquatic creature with a variety of strange habits related to constantly shedding its hardened skin. They usually live in large lakes or in the briny depths of the ocean, where they prowl the water in an almost never-ending search for food. Sihzzh are not social creatures and will easily fight to the death over a single fish. Luckily, even when a sihzzh is hurt, it can heal quickly by exposing its wounds to the sun; after a few hours, all injuries will be completely mended, and the sihzzh will go back to hunting.
#171 Horsnau
These radioactive snails descend from the common snail but have mutated to grow branching, interconnected shells around long, eel-like bodies. Horsnaus typically live 20-25 years and then die in their shell, which is often too intricate to be reused by another horsnau. While a horsnau shell isn't particularly hard or structurally sound, their toxic, foul-smelling meat deters most would-be predators.
#301 Saski
The saski is a species of airborn sanni that often can often be found following cumulonimbus clouds, though their migratory patterns have them almost everywhere on the planet at least once a year. Saski have an average length of two hundred feet and an average weight of three thousand pounds. Saskis are known for their ability to squirt ink from their bodies which causes an immediate onset of intense psychosis in most creatures, which is used both as a defense mechanism and when hunting prey.
#258 Tarodo
Tarodos are dangerous cave-dwelling creatures. Their long tentacles are able to find and grasp prey from far away to drag it into their subterranean lairs. Tarodos usually hunt alone from the safety of their lair, but sometimes a few tarodos will group up to work together and overwhelm larger prey. While their sticky, venomous tentacles are a threat to most animals, some fish are able to swim up the tentacles and into the tarodo's mouth to retrieve half-digested fish scraps, as the tarodo's hooked tentacles struggle to grab small things that are moving quickly up the tentacle.
#325 Rakiviz
The rakiviz is a large bird about the size of a human. They are covered in a thick layer of white feathers and have two muscular legs, each of which has up to ten talons. The rakiviz is usually docile, but when a full moon rises, they will cease all activity and begin to slowly circle the sky. If a person or creature looks directly into the eyes of a rakiviz or sees their reflection during this time, they will become frozen in place, unable to move or think until the rakiviz stops circling. Rakiviz that venture too close to civilization are aggressively hunted down or pushed back to the wilderness to avoid these "night concerts".
#329 Alsjepsel
The alsjepsel is a large reptile-mammal hybrid that frequents acidic swamps in the southern hemisphere. The alsjepsel were first discovered by Nin adventurers that mistook them for a demon and started a century-long crusade to wipe them out, which left a nearly extinct population. These days, alsjepsel have mostly been able to repopulate, but keep to themselves and stay far away from humans when possible. When threatened they may attack, but otherwise the alsjepsel is a generally docile herbivore.
#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.
