#085 Worgrad
Worgrads are small desert-dwelling creatures that subsist on a diet of insects, light rays, and gusts of desert wind. They are very small, with large, black eyes and soft, sandy-colored fur that feels like sandpaper. Worgrads live in small burrows, consisting of large, open rooms connected by winding tunnels, which they build themselves out of desert sand, clay, and plant matter. They spend most of their day sleeping, but they are very active at night, and can sometimes be heard climbing across the ceilings of their burrows making mysterious clicking noises.
#056 Bertuisk
Bertuisks are large airfish that live above the clouds in large schools. Although they largely stay out of sight and move from area to area with the clouds, some cities will mount air attacks on the giant fish to keep too many from clustering. A single bertuisk typically feeds a whole city for a week.
#125 Holivax
The fabled holivax is a race of ancient colorsapping birds believed to now be extinct, but are widely referred to as exceedingly rare in ancient texts. Holivax are said to leech pigment from their surroundings, taking on hypersaturated colors reminiscent of the flora and fauna that are unfortunate enough to find themselves close enough to a holivax nest, drained of their color. It is written that holivax blood is able to cure blindness, and brightly shimmers with every color when exposed to even the littlest sliver of light.
#035 Desert Decot
The desert variation is a little rarer than the common decot and typically lives in isolation in abandoned structures in the desert. Its long hair is actually paper-thin and provides shielding against the sun and sandstorms without much added warmth. They use their large claws to dice cacti into around a week's worth of meals per cactus and use their long hair to tie each piece to their body until it's eaten.
#007 Merm
Merms live in small groups, typically in the deepest reaches of the western oceans. They seem closely related to a potential aquatic fork of human evolution, but scientists haven't yet developed a way to communicate with them.
#203 Hakaji
Hakaji are small, dimorphic reptilian creatures with a bug-like head and legs. Hakaji bodies are extremely light, allowing them to briefly float even in still air. They spend most of their time up in the sky soaring on the thermals, and can occasionally be spotted doing terrific acrobatics while freefalling through the air. Shock-absorbant properties in the hakaji legs enable them to always land gracefully, even from hundreds of feet in the air.
#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.
#366 Hastdre
In the furthest reaches of the coldest tundras where visibility reaches near-zero with even your hand right in front of your face, the mechabionic hastdre dominate the area with metallic skin and no need to eat. These hastdre are able to sustain themselves with solar energy, absorbing sunlight through their fiber-optic mane and converting it into energy. Even when intense blizzards block out the sun for days or weeks at a time, hastre will enter a low-energy hibernation mode until their power source is accessible again. Hastdre are highly intelligent creatures, able to communicate with each other through electronic signals and even able to hack into electronic systems or each other. They are fiercely territorial, protecting their territory with advanced weapons systems built into their bodies. They are also known to be quite aggressive, attacking any intruders on sight. Despite their metallic exterior, hastdre are not immune to injury and must occasionally repair themselves. They have the ability to regenerate lost limbs and repair damaged areas by consuming metal and other materials to rebuild their bodies. While the hastdre are primarily solitary creatures, they do form small groups or "packs" during mating season. These groups can consist of up to 10 individuals, and the dominant hastdre will be in charge of defending the territory and leading the pack. The mating process for hastdre is quite elaborate, involving elaborate courtship rituals and displays of strength and intelligence.
#180 Scordul
Scorduls are large, slow-moving amorphous blobs of flesh and bone that live in the forest. They are nocturnal and will often hide in caves or behind rocks, waiting for prey to come close. They can also camouflage themselves by changing their shape through a complicated bone-reconfiguration process or by coating themselves with a thin membrane of clear mucus that reflects light and smell. They are highly poisonous and will often lay in wait for days or weeks for the perfect time to strike their prey. A scordul bite is extremely painful, and anyone unfortunate enough to survive an encounter will likely lose at least the limb in which the bite occurred, but maybe more.
