#139 Ozanif

Ozanifs are a large variant of the common swamp bear. They are covered in a thick, matted fur that is resistant to water and provides excellent warmth in cold conditions. Ozanifs have s a long, pointed nose and sharp teeth which constantly ooze a sweet honey-like substance. It is a carnivorous creature that hunts insects and small birds. Ozanifs don't hibernate, but they do spend most of their time in their dens during the winter months. They are very territorial and will attack if they feel threatened or to protect their young. In the summers, ozanifs make a strange, chirping sound and will often spend long hours rolling around in the muddy swamps.

#062 The Acolyte

Not much is known about the acolyte, including whether it's one creature or many. However, many travelers have reported that they've witnessed the acolyte while dying in nearby deserts. The description of the experience varies wildly from person to person, but those who've lived to tell the tale all agree on one thing: the acolyte asks you in your own language to use your dying breath to explain why you should keep living. If the acolyte likes your answer, you'll breathe again.

#092 Arochngiap

Arochngiaps are sentient, blind masses of undeveloped meat found deep underground and in caves. They move slowly and grow random limbs, with records showing anywhere from 0-10 arms and legs. They can often be found in small pools of still water, absorbing nutrients through their skin.

#055 Kurobo

The charming three-legged kurobo walk isn't the only reason they caught the world's eye at their discovery. It's cute, yes, but the real mind-blower is their ability to manifest fire, seemingly at will. The blue fire burns hotter and brighter for as long as the kuobo is near, then fades into the more traditional red and cools down. The first discovered kurobo, Charles, is an internet celebrity.

#203 Hakaji

Hakaji are small, dimorphic reptilian creatures with a bug-like head and legs. Hakaji bodies are extremely light, allowing them to briefly float even in still air. They spend most of their time up in the sky soaring on the thermals, and can occasionally be spotted doing terrific acrobatics while freefalling through the air. Shock-absorbant properties in the hakaji legs enable them to always land gracefully, even from hundreds of feet in the air.

#246 Syphunn

The syphunn is an ancient shadow creature only visible on moon-less nights. These dark mammals are covered in greasy, black fur and have a long snout they use for eating. Syphunn are capable of moving incredibly quickly while remaining entirely silent aside from their raspy breathing. Although syphunns are typically spotted alone, these creatures often live and migrate within large familial units, often spanning dozens of generations.

#317 Gurdigoot

A gurdigoot is a small, scaly creature that has two eyes, two forelegs, and a long tongue. It is generally not very intelligent, but it is capable of rudimentary speech and is able to understand basic commands from humans. It lives in small groups of about ten gurdigoots and forages for food in the forests during the day. It returns to its hidden nest at dusk and will sleep until dawn. It has a strong sense of smell and can often be found hunting down large animals, such as elk or moose.

#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.

#096 Cerasuc

Cerasucs are large, furry mammals that live in deep caves and are often found in groups of 10 or more. They have a black coat and antlers that are prized for their ability to reflect light and light up dark spaces. They have excellent night vision and their hearing is also very acute, allowing them to sense predators from far away. They forage for mushrooms and other underground plants and make nests out of sticks and vines. These strange creatures have a stoic, aloof demeanor and very little interest in other species of animals. They are very shy and skittish creatures that go out of their way to stay away from humans, but will attack if provoked or frightened.
