#105 Girflet
Girflets are creatures typically found in the damp undergrowth at the base of forest cliffs. When disturbed, they will race away at high speed, firing off seedpods into the air. On the ground, these seedpods bury themselves into loose dirt and sprout into a full-grown tree, making girflets great for reforesting an area.
#101 Dhagarem
Dhagarems are a common species of invisible beast that can be found across the world, but most commonly in unsettled areas. They are mostly nocturnal, but their shadows can sometimes be seen in the day if they wake up hungry. It is unclear what dhagarems actually eat.
#050 Mahaman
Mahaman that are humanoid birds that exist partially outside of time, which manifests visually with the eponymously-named phenomenon mahamans are known for: superpositions of their body in several simultaneous slices of time appear in tandem to others, which results in creatures that look blurry, morphing, and duplicated.
#249 Esailei
Esaileis are large, carnivorous reptiles that live in mountains. They have a strong bite that allows them to crush bones, and they are capable of climbing steep cliffs with ease. They are very difficult to train, but if a human succeeds in this endeavor, they can be the most loyal and obedient companions imaginable.
#154 Sizzten muette
The ancient sizzten muette has been a staple of oasis and river life for longer than most other species, acting largely as a peacekeeper among other species over the years. Sizzten muettes can typically be found sipping from water sources and synthesizing food from proteins found in the water. Although they typically have short lifespans, they reproduce frequently and in large numbers. Fully-grown muettes typically range from 7 to 9 feet tall.
#270 Whisper
Whisper bulbs (also affectionally known as "screamers" in windier locales) are sentient plant-animal hybrids that eventually emerge from trees pollinated by The Whisperer. Whispers are also capable of reproducing by infecting the tree with a virus that spreads to other locations in the tree, and may sometimes spread to nearby trees using crosspollination. Although whispers are immobile and cannot hunt, they are capable of tapping the tree they've grown out of for nutrients. Left alone, whispers generally match the lifespan of the tree they depend on, although too many whispers absorbing nutrients from a single tree may kill it. The shape of a whisper produces a distinct, high-pitched whistle when wind passes through it, increasing in decibels as the speed of the wind increases.
#164 Finishi
The fabled finishi bird is most notable for its "perfect" camouflage as no living finishi has ever been sighted, even in areas estimated to be completely overrun by them based on the number of finishi carcasses found daily, such as in the titular Finishi Forest. Some small cult followings believe the finishi bird is a living embodiment of the forests they dwell in, while others see them taking a more active role as the guardian or protector of their forest. However, most are skeptical that these birds are anything more than just camouflage experts living a typical aviary life. There is also a prevailing belief among some regions that finishi don't exist at all, and that the carcasses found were simply crafted by those who "found" them, or planted there by nearby towns looking for increased tourism. Although no one is certain about what finishi birds are, where they came from, what they eat, or how they live, they are certainly birds that have swept the intrigue of the world by storm: cash prizes for sighting or live captures of finishi birds are prevalent and extremely lucrative... if possible.
#296 Jaxilith
Jaxilives are large shapeshifters that appear as a swarm of blue flies when dormant. When a jaxilith is threatened, it will transform into a larger worm-like creature. This njaxilith form is covered in sharp red scales and flies with a small set of translucent wings that emit a small amount of blue light. Jaxilith temperament is short and aggressive, quickly swarming and overwhelming any potential threats to their home. Nowadays, the remaining jaxilives are said to live in underground caverns, where they indiscriminately prey on anything that isn't blue. Experimental testing of a severed jaxilith lens revealed that blue is actually the one color this small shapeshifter can't physically see. Some cultures have historically dissolved ground Kjaxilith scales into teas as a precursory version of antidepressants. Although the jaxilith presents itself as a swarm of flies while dormant, it's still only a single decentralized organism — and just as lonely.
#369 Akshaya
The ancient akshaya has been around since the beginning of life and is widely believed to be the source of it. Akshaya has a shimmering, iridescent body that is constantly changing colors and patterns, and seven long tentacles that it uses to move and interact with its environment. Its movements are graceful and fluid, and it is often described as having an almost ethereal quality. This galactic creature is capable of communicating with any species through telepathy and can manipulate raw energy to form interdimensional portals, which allow it to travel quickly throughout time and space. According to legend, akshaya uses these portals to seed barren worlds throughout the universe with their very first lifeforms. It is believed that akshaya's portals lead back to wherever its home is — and that they're filled to the brim with every possible combination of life imaginable, meticulously hand-crafted with love by akshaya.
