#022 Xianc'onent
Since the beginning of storytelling, sailors have told stories of horrible terrors hiding at the bottom of the oceans. These xianc'onents are said to emit a low vibration that amplifies through water and can be felt, just barely, while aboard larger ships. They usually stick primarily to the ocean floor, often living among sunken ships and wreckage, but male xianc'onents will also ascend to higher elevations during their brief mating seasons.
#099 Sneacock
Once upon a time, a snake and a peacock found a way to produce an offspring. That offspring's intimidating colors and wholly evil nature quickly made it the dominant species of its island, where it reproduced and overpopulated for centuries before a merchant's ship brought the predator to the mainland. The island is now known as Sneacock Island and it is strictly forbidden lest another devastating sneacock outbreak occur again.
#021 Red Vasamee
The Red Vasamee is a rodent-like creature that is notable for evolving over time to be strictly vegetarian after a meat-bourne illness nearly caused their extinction. These days they prowl through fields looking for seeds and berries, but will also settle for blander meals like grass and plant stalks.
#144 Stemilia
The stemilia are an ancient race of primates known for their extremely long, stilt-like legs. Although they historically cooperated with humanity in the distant past and lived in relative harmony with jungle villages, modern stemilia are significantly more aggressive and fearful of humans and prefer to live in villages of their own, far away from the nearest human town. Although stemilia legs are prone to breaking often, they will apply hand-made splints to remain upright and heal quickly with their fast-acting regenerative systems. As stemilia age, their legs will naturally thicken with muscle and fortified calcium deposits.
#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.
#158 Taia
The taia is an ancient creature that has a history on this world that started long before humans. The taia appears visually as a hovering being of luminescent shadows that uproots entire trees in the vicinity to weightlessly orbit around it. As the taia continues on its eternal trek around the globe, it gently replants each tree in an ever-changing trail behind it. It is said that most trees spend about a thousand years per spot (referred to as a "tree lifetime") thanks to the taia's influence. Not much else is known about the taia or its powers.
#346 An fwo dur
An fwo dur share the majority of their DNA with an extinct armadillo-like creature that used to terrorize the mountainside. Unlike their ancestors, however, an fwo dur stand upright on two legs and reach heights of over nine feet tall. These intelligent creatures tower over the more primitive species in their ecosystem, both physically and intellectually; an fwo dur often use tools, build transient infrastructure, and communicate through disjoint chromatic aberrations which can also cause confusion and dizziness in other species.
#362 Fjasdijh
Fjasdijh are slender cat-like creatures who dwell deep in caves and reproduce quickly, sometimes giving birth to litters of up to ten offspring at a time. They are nocturnal, spending their days sleeping in underground burrows and emerging at night to hunt for insects and small rodents which they drag back to their cave. Their fur is thick and dark, providing excellent camouflage. Fjasdijh are known for their sharp claws and teeth, which they use to catch and kill their prey. They are also agile climbers and can scale the walls and ceilings of caves with ease. In addition to their hunting skills, Fjasdijh are skilled at digging and have been known to create intricate tunnel systems within the caves they've inhabited. Despite their fearsome appearance and predatory habits, Fjasdijh are social creatures and live in large groups called prides. Within these prides, the Fjasdijh have a complex system of communication and cooperation, with each member playing a specific role in the group's activities.
#114 Rolglu
Rolglu are large, bristly bears that never stop migrating. They have six legs, detachable paws, and stand about eight feet tall. They are herbivores and will often follow farmers' plows, eating the freshly dug roots and other plants that are uncovered. Rolglu tend to be very friendly and will often secretly crawl into merchant boats to be carried around the world; however, their size makes them dangerous to keep aboard and merchants will often push them into the ocean upon discovery, forcing them to swim back to land. While they can be found anywhere around the world, they largely prefer the cold tundras where their thick pelt doesn't cause them to overheat.
