#094 Dryph
Dryphs are a rare and elusive type of creature. They are said to be born from the clouds, and are occasionally seen floating above them. They levitate high in the air, intently watching life on the surface. Their whiskers are said to provide longevity and health when steeped in tea and their soft, fuzzy hide makes for beautiful garments and gowns.
#011 Ssene
Ssenes are strange, shapeshifting creatures that configure parts of their body to mimic specific features of any creatures they see, rather than transforming into a copy of their whole body. This "bioremixing" property typically results in horrible, unnatural amalgamations depending on what creatures each ssene has seen recently.
#039 Gundir
Gundirs are feared beasts of the furthest reachest north. They move quickly and quietly, using the pelts of their prey both to stay warm and remain cloaked under cover. They have been known to masquerade as animals for up to a week before ambushing others. Natives in the area refer to gundirs as fi'ni, which roughly translates to "Layered Pelt Beast".
#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.
#168 Magmatuna
Magmatuna is a cursed mutation of the freshwater tuna, resulting in a scalding hot internal temperature that is immediately devastating to any aquatic ecosystem. Their molten skin causes rapid evaporation of entire lakes and rivers, completely obliterating the ecosystem and resulting in nothing but burn marks and leagues of dead fish in a dry basin. The sighting of any smoke or mass-evaporation in a body of water should be immediately reported to the nearest government body.
#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.
#318 Flyx-in-ruck
For the longest time, the flyx-in-ruck didn't have an official name, largely due to the effective camouflage and stealth techniques this snake-like reptile employs. Each flyx-in-ruck is unique, adopting a sleep pattern, hunting strategies, and food preference depending on factors in its environment. Some flyx-in-ruck migrate seasonally, and some migrate so often they may as well be called nomads. Although all flyx-in-ruck are vastly different, they do share a few common traits: they are always fast, always quiet diggers, always intelligent, and always immediately deadly to their unsuspecting prey. It is said that once you see a flyx-in-ruck, it is already too late.
#251 Gorgolasa
Gorgolasas are giant carnivorous spiders with very sensitive eyes and hearing. They have a speed and agility comparable to that of a human, and they will often hunt in packs to bring down larger creatures. Despite their ferociousness, when humans have tried to domesticate them, they have proven to be extremely loyal and affectionate, often attempting to cuddle and nuzzle their masters when they get the chance. Gorgolasas produce a fine silk that is both strong and light.
#312 Galum
Galums are ancient, majestic creatures born from the remains of ancient warriors. They were once sentient beings known as the "ustones," but were transformed by an unknown magic into massive, leathery creatures with two wings and a retractable tail. Galums can speak, but rarely do so; instead, they prefer to be silent, stoic, and hypervigilant. Although galums have wings, they weigh far too much to be able to fly; whether this was an intentionally cruel design or a safety mechanism for their makers has been lost to time.
