#076 Hifinginn
Although the celestial cataclysm was a great catastrophe, it did introduce us to the Hifinginn and their universes—and consequently pushed forward our technology, biology, medicine, and understanding of the cosmos at least a century forward. The Hifinginn body is composed of veons instead of atoms, which is believed to be the reason why they largely ignore our universal rules of physics.
#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.
#243 Banabat
Banabats are small, flying creatures of the night best known for their bright yellow coloring and unique reproduction cycle. Banabats are friendly to most species and primarily feed on tree sap by using their sharp teeth to pierce deep holes through bark. While feeding, an enzyme in their saliva mixes back into the tree, fertilizing it. After a tree is fertilized, it will start growing a patch of typically 12-14 additional banabats sprouting directly from its branches.
#215 Zemyl
The zemyl is a small and brightly colored mammal that lives in mountain ranges. It has a penchant for collecting rocks, prefers to eat a diet of flowers and insects, and is capable of traveling at great speeds by rolling down hills. If you ever encounter a zemyl, it is advised that you shout the phrase "zemyl!" at it to ward it off, as this is the one word that zemyls are absolutely terrified of.
#185 Vuewex
Vuewex are a parasitic skin mite that measure a little under 1 nanometer in width and height. These small critters passively absorb kinetic energy from their host through a reversed osmosis process that looks similar to feeding. A vuewex infection is difficult to to treat due to their small size, but typically clears itself up within a week or two due to their short lifespan and inability to reproduce in most dermal environments. Vuewex are common on islands, where the humidity makes it easier for them to jump from particle to particle in the air towards their next host. Symptoms of a vuewex outbreak include rash, fatigue, and itching.
#257 Volagena
Volagenas are a species of squid-like creatures that are also extremely large. They are carnivorous and exist as top-level predators in their environment. They use their powerful tentacles to gracefully move through the water, and can even use them to grip obstactles for leverage and throw themselves at high speeds through the water. Adult volagenas rarely venture out of the deep oceans, but when they do they are often a terror to the entire ecosystem, as well as any passing ships.
#273 Jideoray
Jideorays are a parasitic orange slime common in the warmer oceans that attaches itself to creatures to feed directly on their skin. Small fish will sometimes allow members of their school to host jideorays, as the toxic pheremone they produce also wards off most predators. Jideorays have a hard time keeping their host alive for long periods of time, but extend their lifespan somewhat by completely covering their eaten flesh with a bright orange jelly. In rare cases, some animals may find themselves completely enveloped by this orange slime while still alive. At this point the jideoray will often assume complete muscular control over the creature for the rest of its life.
#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.
#355 Vilagoth
Vilagoths are an intelligent species of semi-aquatic jellies. They have large eyes and at least four tentacled arms with webbed microfingers, and they can breathe underwater for up to ten days at a time before needing to resurface. The males have small tusks that grow from their lower jaws, but the females don't have any. They are very friendly and docile creatures that like to spend their time floating around in the water and playing simple games with each other. They aren't very strong, but they are fast and can swim at speeds of up to 75 km/h. They are also quite intelligent and have been known to teach themselves how to read and write using sunken ships.
