#012 Val'anur
The val'anur is a monstrous beast of the tundra. What it lacks in speed it makes up for in determination and force. Val'anurs never sleep, which allows them to chase their prey indefinitely. Their gigantic paws sport deadly claws that tear exhausted prey to pieces, which val'anurs slowly savor until moving onto their next meal.
#030 Urryn-ast
Urryn-ast are always on the hunt for humans on the verge of death and will track their prey for days at a time. They consume deceased bodies whole and, in doing so, memorize a sequence of the consumed DNA as a part of their complex digestive process. After their feast, Urryn-ast will often shapeshift into the consumed creature and retrace their path back to others, hoping to get closer to their next meal.
#038 Gyrom
Gyroms are genetically-engineered giraffe variants that not only have significantly more fat and muscle, but also produce a thin protein film on their skin that absorbs back into the meat to ultimately provide more than double the protein per pound of meat compared to traditional meat competitors. Flocks of gyrom are kept in densely-packed, travel-ready "meat box" cages that take advantage of the gyrom's intentionally-designed height and slimness by lining the tall cage's ceiling with a universally-available feeder. In long-term storage, cages are typically stacked vertically with special biomech attachments that recycle food for lower cages from the excrement of upper cages.
#153 Oskurgi
Oskurgis are frog-like creatures that make their homes in the nutrient-rich mud piles found in the swampy forests of the world. Since their skin has a weak, porous texture and is very sensitive to sunlight, oskurgis prefer to remain inside large shells for the whole of their lives. They are very easily frightened and have no defense mechanism other than to curl up into their shell and sink underwater. Although no one knows why, there are some rare flowers that only ever bloom in the presence of an oskurgi.
#159 Elephant Turtles
Elephant turtles are the aft-named cross-breed between the ancient African elephant and the gorgola turtle. Rather than growing a shell, elephant turtles take on more of a blob shape, covered in thick, unbreakable scales that resemble elephant skin. Elephant turtles are often bred in smaller villages for their high meat ratio and sturdy scales.
#242 Antwij
Antwij are a race of small angomites that originate from the southern deserts, but have long since migrated to a wider array of biomes after their homes became uninhabitable. Antwijes don't typically survive very long in the wild, except in the easiest of environment, because of their extremely docile nature and lack of hunting skill. Additionally, these small insects seem to have difficulty taking any food they deem belongs to someone or something else, leaving them starving even when a source of food may be nearby. In some desert societies, antwijes are renowned as ancient, holy creatures and provided a steady supply of food from the church. In these societies, it is not uncommon for these small creatures to crawl over sleeping members of the church in the night, repeatedly kissing them as a sign of thanks and good luck.
#168 Magmatuna
Magmatuna is a cursed mutation of the freshwater tuna, resulting in a scalding hot internal temperature that is immediately devastating to any aquatic ecosystem. Their molten skin causes rapid evaporation of entire lakes and rivers, completely obliterating the ecosystem and resulting in nothing but burn marks and leagues of dead fish in a dry basin. The sighting of any smoke or mass-evaporation in a body of water should be immediately reported to the nearest government body.
#315 Tableu
Tableu are artificial, lab-designed mammal-likes that were designed for domestication into dense populace housing. Tableu are known for their eponymous "table", a hardened appendage on top of their head that they perpetually hold perfectly parallel to the ground. When purchasing a tableu, three distinct sizes are available, and each can hold a varying amount of weight on their table. The tableu mind is a small one which shuts off completely when there aren't any humans around. Coupled with the low-energy hibernation state they enter while their mind is unpowered, tableu are designed to be the perfect pet for on-the-go families or those who want little to no commitment in their choice of pet.
#318 Flyx-in-ruck
For the longest time, the flyx-in-ruck didn't have an official name, largely due to the effective camouflage and stealth techniques this snake-like reptile employs. Each flyx-in-ruck is unique, adopting a sleep pattern, hunting strategies, and food preference depending on factors in its environment. Some flyx-in-ruck migrate seasonally, and some migrate so often they may as well be called nomads. Although all flyx-in-ruck are vastly different, they do share a few common traits: they are always fast, always quiet diggers, always intelligent, and always immediately deadly to their unsuspecting prey. It is said that once you see a flyx-in-ruck, it is already too late.
