#193 Udeneth
The udeneth is a large, light-colored creature that somewhat resembles a llama. It has no ears or nose and must rely on sight and touch to find its food. Udeneths are found on mountainsides where they frequently burrow into the snow, where they will sleep, store food, or hide from other creatures. They are very sensitive to light and will glow when they are touched or if they feel threatened.
#009 Rappariffian
Rappariffians have never had a confirmed sighting, but cultures throughout history have always told stories of some form of them, albeit with different names. These spectral presences weave themselves through dimensional planes, occasionally passing through our physical dimension. Stories are inconsistent on whether they're completely silent or screaming banshees.
#137 Gungon
Gungons are medium-sized primates that live in the colder forests of the world. Their white fur is very dense, waterproof, and home to many insect populations. The colorful plants that grow out of their backs serve as camouflage in the spring, after the snow has gone. The plants are edible, but are also able to store water that the creature can drink in times when it cannot find nearby water. Gungons loves to eat berries and can often be found in forests picking berries with its long prehensile tail. When a gungon feels threatened, it will stand on its hind legs, shake out a cloud of white pollen, and roar as loud as possible in order to scare off any would-be attacker.
#239 Fyrial
The brilliant fire of a fyrial's eyes can be seen for miles and are the source behind many religious stories originating in ancient deserts. Although they are typically solitary creatures, they will sometimes come together in pairs or small groups to feed on a massive kill, earning goodwill within their local community. When a fyrial dies, its body is consumed in a violent explosion that burns it to ashes.
#229 Tehrer
The tehrer is a small, flightless bird originating from volcanic islands in the south. Tehrers are extremely fast runners and use their powerful legs to leap from tree to tree, often reaching airborne heights and speeds such that they unintentionally harm themselves among landing. Their favorite food is resin, sap, and other tree fluids, and they'll often build nests next to where such food is available. Tehrers are generally friendly, active, and playful creatures that will readily interact with humans and other small, nonthreatening animals.
#240 Bargrim
The bargrim is a small, nocturnal creature which is native to the forests of the world. It may look like an ordinary butterfly when it is resting, but its natural camouflage belies its fearsome nature. It has sharp teeth, tough scales, and can quickly spin a web to trap its prey. Bargrim wings are also covered in a sedative dust that they can expel with a masterful flick of the wing. Some villages make sleepytime tea with bargrim dust.
#350 Ddeinn
The ddeinn roams swamps and lava fields looking for fresh meat in an endless pursuit of food. Although ddeinns are strict carnivores, they have no preference on what meat they eat, often resorting to cannibalism or rotten meat when alternatives are scarce. Ddeinn's powerful wings allow them to traverse long distances quickly; whether they're swooping in from miles above or charging along the ground, there are few creatures that can escape this predator's razor-sharp, hungry maw. Ddeinn emit so much heat from their body that they can cook meat by sleeping on it, but this vast energy exodus is also what requires them to constantly be on the hunt for more, more, more.
#349 Flayansk
The flayansk originates in the far north, in the freezing highlands of Cotsk. Flayansk vary wildly in size throughout their life, growing quickly from the size of rodents to the size of large boulders, then eventually shrinking back to microscopic levels as they reach old age. No matter their size, however, flayansk struggle with their weight: since they weigh less than air, these creatures will hold themselves close to the ground with their massive claws so they don't float away into the atmosphere. Although flayansk can go for weeks (or, in some cases, months) without eating, starvation is still their leading cause of death due to being unable to get back down to the ground once they start floating away.
#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.
