#045 Egalomo
Schools of cloud-sized egalomos float high in the sky, always in search of their next meal. To attack their prey, they swoop down from the sky and suffocate creatures by wrapping around them and constricting their jellyfish-like body. During digestion, the prey's blood courses through the egalomo's body, giving it a distinct red-purple color before it eventually returns to a fluffy white.
#071 Banjif
Banjifs spend most of their days rolled up in balls, taking naps in the sunlight. When they're hungry, they use their incredible leg strength to leap into the sky to catch a bird in their mouth. While in ball form, a banjif is protected from most predators by their strong, chitinous shell.
#115 Nebulflat
Nebulflats are strange, half-ox, half-beetle creatures that live deep in the oceans of the planet. They are extremely inquisitive and will often crawl onto land to explore oceanside forests. Despite the fact that they seem to enjoy spending most of their time on land, they will become sick if they don't return to the ocean within a few days. Nebulflats cannot swim and instead just walk along the bottom of whatever ocean they call home.
#032 Frestnoch
Frestnoches evolved a thick fur across their abdomen to keep them warm in the harsh northern climates and have a varying amount of large, chitinous spikes protruding from their body that they use as tools to survive in the harsh wilderness. They largely eat trees and large bushes, but they also cut down trees to make large, circular piles for their egg nests. After laying their eggs, they'll cover their nest and remain inside to produce the warmth necessary for the eggs to grow, only leaving when necessary to collect more trees for food or when threatened.
#207 Skeighnog
Skeighnogs are vicious and bloodthirsty creatures from the vast forests of the world. They are small, roughly the size of a small dog but with a long, scaly tail and a bulbous, pouchy stomach. They are predators and will eat anything they can catch and fit in their mouths, but their favorite prey is the klelag, which they hunt by burrowing into the thick grasses of the nests. When a skeighnog attacks its prey, it usually does it from above, leaping down on its target and impaling them with its long, curved claws. A skeighnog can run very fast and has the speed to catch a human, but they are more likely to feast on their fallen prey until they've eaten their fill before chasing anything else.
#308 Nishiki
The nishiki is a large, intelligent and naturally magical creature that stands far above most other plainswalkers. They are usually found in large herds in the northern and southern tundras of the planet, where their thick hide keeps them impervious to freezing temperatures. Although nishikis have immense magical powers, they are not able to cast spells like their smaller cousin, the nashaka. Instead, their magical powers manifest physically in the form of a gigantic horn that grows out of their forehead. Depending on the individual nishiki and their mood, touching the horn can heal wounds and cure disease, or create fire and lightning.
#286 Zuggar
Zuggars are enormous, tentacled abominations from an unknown origin. Zuggars survive by scooping up giant mountains and slowly digesting the rock formations. After a zuggar finishes eating, it floats to the next mountain and begins the process again. Zuggars have been known to destroy entire continents in their lifetimes and are theorized to be capable of devouring entire planets.
#296 Jaxilith
Jaxilives are large shapeshifters that appear as a swarm of blue flies when dormant. When a jaxilith is threatened, it will transform into a larger worm-like creature. This njaxilith form is covered in sharp red scales and flies with a small set of translucent wings that emit a small amount of blue light. Jaxilith temperament is short and aggressive, quickly swarming and overwhelming any potential threats to their home. Nowadays, the remaining jaxilives are said to live in underground caverns, where they indiscriminately prey on anything that isn't blue. Experimental testing of a severed jaxilith lens revealed that blue is actually the one color this small shapeshifter can't physically see. Some cultures have historically dissolved ground Kjaxilith scales into teas as a precursory version of antidepressants. Although the jaxilith presents itself as a swarm of flies while dormant, it's still only a single decentralized organism — and just as lonely.
#368 Avar shlin
The feared avar shlin is an intrusive pest originating from radioactive swamps and dark forests. This long wriggler is best known for the debilitating toxin it induces within the eyes of anyone that sees it. Something about the avar shlin's image projected on a human retina causes a chemical reaction that produces what has been known as avar sludge; this goo slowly dissolves the intricate structures within the eyeball, resulting in a rare form of incurable blindness where the victim can still see, yet can't understand what is being seen. Avar shlin have been known to decimate entire kingdoms from within. Despite their destructive potential, avar shlins are not aggressive by nature and prefer to avoid confrontations with larger creatures. They are nocturnal, and during the day they will burrow into the ground to avoid detection. Their diet consists mainly of small insects and rodents, but they have been known to scavenge for larger prey if necessary.
