#034 Mrohl
Mrohls live in enchanted forests where they eat magic berries and hallucinogenic plants. As such, their reactions to adventurers are as predictably intense as their actions are unpredictable. Their droppings are typically made into a hallucinogenic alcohol.
#134 Brokkind
Brokkinds are a species of intelligent monkey with silver wings that lives in trees in the tropics, mostly in the jungles of the world. They are about the size of a toucan and have a very high metabolism, eating about fifty times their body weight in food every day. They are very curious, and mature brokkinds often live alone, exploring the forest and watching the other creatures of the world with an unwavering gaze.
#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.
#052 D'Geft
D'geft are stone elementals that pass freely through mountains and stone, living solitary lives. Catching a d'geft binds his will to yours, enabling the binding one to control that d'geft's powers as if they were your own. When d'geft die, their souls weigh heavily on shifting tectonic plates that cause earthquakes and century-long ruptures that ultimately form a new mountain over time, which serves as an incubator for a new d'geft to eventually form within.
#150 Toomel
Toomels are small worm-like creatures that live just below the surface of the earth. They enjoy tunneling through the ground but prefer to stay close to the surface. When it rains, toomels will emerge from the ground and spend time on the surface to avoid drowning. During this time, they're particularly vulnerable to predators because they have no effective defense mechanisms other than shifting their spherical body segments into other configurations.
#326 Kawa-tri
Kawa-tri are bulbous, tree-like creatures that live in forests. They thrive in the shade of other trees and grow much faster when they are standing near other kawa-tri. When a kawa-tri senses that it is in danger, its entire body will harden, effectively turning it into a tree. This makes it difficult for predators to eat it, as the tough bark is not easily digested. However, kawa-tri will sometimes harden to protect themselves from the rain and will die if left too long in this state.
#164 Finishi
The fabled finishi bird is most notable for its "perfect" camouflage as no living finishi has ever been sighted, even in areas estimated to be completely overrun by them based on the number of finishi carcasses found daily, such as in the titular Finishi Forest. Some small cult followings believe the finishi bird is a living embodiment of the forests they dwell in, while others see them taking a more active role as the guardian or protector of their forest. However, most are skeptical that these birds are anything more than just camouflage experts living a typical aviary life. There is also a prevailing belief among some regions that finishi don't exist at all, and that the carcasses found were simply crafted by those who "found" them, or planted there by nearby towns looking for increased tourism. Although no one is certain about what finishi birds are, where they came from, what they eat, or how they live, they are certainly birds that have swept the intrigue of the world by storm: cash prizes for sighting or live captures of finishi birds are prevalent and extremely lucrative... if possible.
#177 Luneptera
The luneptera are a rarely-seen race of intelligent humanoid beetle that claim to be related to fairies. Not much is known about lunepteras other than recorded observations from times when they were more common to see, but it is written that their skin is covered in chitin that only reflects moonlight, making them invisible during the day (and on moon-less nights). Luneptera are a generally friendly race, although they've had some notable issues with mankind in the past. Luneptera also love stealing and wearing human hats and clothing, especially during their holiday celebrations; they seem to be particularly fond of long dresses, overcoats, and tall hats.
#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.
