A wild creature appears!

Portal Jian

Portal jians are large, immobile creatures that grow in cultivated farmlands and exhibit a physical mystery still unexplained by science: the portal jian's body always contains at least one large hole or gateway that can be passed through for instantaneous travel to a nearby jian's portal. Scientists are unsure how this instantaneous travel works scientifically, but researchers are beginning to map out how a jian decides which other jian(s) to connect to.

Because so little is known about the portal jian, the species' existence is tightly controlled and monitored by the government in secure labs; until they were confident there were no jians left in the wild, the public sector was filled with paid mercenery work to locate and capture these mysterious creatures.

#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.

#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.

#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.

#230 Pinlup

The humble pinlup is a delightful breed of small animal common in wild areas near human settlements. It's a popular activity for parents to bring their kids out to play with pinlups, providing them with bread and berries to eat; in return, pinlups bless those they play with with good luck and fortune. Pinlup tongues are bright blue and used to be heavily poached for trophies, but the species' rapid population growth over the past decade has devalued any perceived rarity or uniqueness, allowing the species to thrive even further.

#194 Grock

Grocks are massive, floating creatures with huge gas pockets in their bodies. They can be found in just about every habitat, but especially in forests and swamps, where they spend their days floating and eating and whistling. As they eat more and more, their bodies will continue to grow so that they can float higher and higher. However, their stomachs are quite weak and delicate, which is why a grock will never get too close to sharp objects. Grock splatter is a well-known nuisance to anyone that frequents their habitats.

#305 Goursherpoid

Goursherpoids are aggressive reptiles that have large, flat sensors in their eye which allows them to see every wavelength of light. They have a long t tail that they can use defensively to whack their predators, and they have a bone behind their eyeballs that allows them to move their body in any direction. They are aggressive, but not territorial, and will often pick fights with other goursherpoids for sport. They will kill other animals for food, but not for sport. When fighting, their tail is used to grab their opponent and hold them in place and their claws are then used to tear their prey apart.

#274 SLP-059

SLP-059 is a stable organic mutation of the venus fly trap, successfully designed and created at the [redacted] facility in [redacted], Virginia. SLP-059 can be recognized by its thick, mossy feet and long bristles which can extend up to six inches to capture and pull in insects and small animals. SLP-059 also contains an enzyme capable of breaking up any nonmetal material, making it technically capable of consuming almost anything. SLP-059 can go for extremely long lengths without food or water, drawing from reserved contained in its mossy stump legs. It is strongly advised to never leave SLP-059 unrestrained, or without direct human supervision.

#351 Volly

Volly are sturdy, four-legged mammals that live on lush mountaintops, peacefully grazing on grass, flowers, and small mushrooms. Centuries ago, volly were almost entirely domesticated and bred for their restorative tears; over time, however, the human race built up a resistance to the healing effects offered by volly tears. Eventually, the last domesticated volly were released back into the wild, where they seemingly all migrated to the highest altitudes to live in isolation among small familial groups. It is generally believed that the volly have evolved over time to retain their natural healing abilities, but only for use on other volly and not for the benefit of other species.

#190 Mimcree

Originally from the far east, mimcrees have been domesticated and controlled by the government for centuries due to their unique ability to shapeshift into any animal within their line of sight. This replication has been confirmed to be accurate down to a molecular level and tests have shown that almost every animal cannot tell the difference between a shapeshifted mimcree and the real thing. Although most people aren't aware of mimcrees, many people see them every day at zoos, where zookeepers typically rent a herd of mimcrees from the government to stand in for rarer species the zoo could otherwise only afford one of. Public grants make the rental fees of mimcrees more accessible, but zoos that choose to rent any shapeshifters must hire an official handler to make sure they don't get loose, or else they might never be seen again.
