A wild creature appears!

Skalve

The skalve is a creature shrouded in legend and mystery, revered by many as a deity in the desert yet hated by others less favored. Its powerful and majestic presence is said to radiate a divine energy, and its sharp senses and unparalleled tracking abilities have led some to believe that it has a connection to the spiritual world.

Skalves have a rough, sandy coat that helps them blend in with the desert and protects them from the harsh desert sun. A skalve's powerful legs allow it to traverse the dunes with ease, and its sharp claws enable it to dig for underground sources of water and food.

Despite its rugged appearance, the skalve is actually quite intelligent and has been known to form close bonds with its human companions and their descendants. They are highly loyal and protective, making them valuable assets to any who respect the desert.

A skalve's diet consists primarily of small rodents and lizards, but they are also known to scavenge for scraps and other sources of nourishment. They are able to go for long periods of time without water, thanks to their ability to extract moisture from the plants and insects they consume. This water is stored in bulbous sacs on the skalve's neck.

In addition to their practical uses, skalves are also prized for their beauty. Their sandy coats shimmer in the sunlight, and their bright, expressive eyes seem to glow with a mysterious inner light. It is no wonder that the skalve has become such a religious figure in many desert communities.

#042 Heggeh

After spending a millennium with the other few, remaining heggehs trapped in a cavern, new generations of heggeh have completely lost their sight and evolved a slower metabolism that allows them to survive off of almost no food, despite their large size. Now that they're free from the cave, they love nothing more than feeling the warmth of the sun on their back. They are content to graze from fields and eat grass or bugs, always smiling.

#073 Pinbin Snake

Pinbin snakes are totally harmless, almost-friendly creatures. They eat grass, lick rocks for fun, and rarely grow more than a foot long. Their eyes are a delicacy among the rich.

#060 Brugnul

Brugnuls are microscopic parasites that can be found in most environments. They are commonly found in the bodies of other creatures, but can also be found on the ground, in water, and in the air. They are extremely hard to detect, and can be difficult to remove if they are located in the brain or other vital organs, where they can cause a variety of symptoms. Brugnuls are extremely resilient and almost always outlive their hosts.

#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.

#125 Holivax

The fabled holivax is a race of ancient colorsapping birds believed to now be extinct, but are widely referred to as exceedingly rare in ancient texts. Holivax are said to leech pigment from their surroundings, taking on hypersaturated colors reminiscent of the flora and fauna that are unfortunate enough to find themselves close enough to a holivax nest, drained of their color. It is written that holivax blood is able to cure blindness, and brightly shimmers with every color when exposed to even the littlest sliver of light.

#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.

#104 Ayri

Ayris are large, green worms that live near shallow waters. They can grow to be up to ten feet long and weigh up to four hundred pounds. They have a mouth with a large tongue in the middle of their head, which they use to feed on small fish, crabs and other marine animals. Ayri mobility is extremely limited: they lack any bones and instead rely on a complex network of contracting muscles around their bulbous mass of body fat.

#236 Squeebl

Squeebls were first domesticated at the turn of the last century to be an aquatic pet used to symbolize world adventuring among the upper class, but have since become a popular staple in all kinds of households due to their simple care instructions, ability to survive without food, and cute size. Squeebls produce a thick, black ink that was used for maps, but can also be re-consumed by the squeebl itself to darken it's pigment; without this ink, these jelly creatures will fade into a transparent gray. Other inks, however, can transform these best-selling creatures into all kinds of vivid colors.

#206 Mooshan

Mooshans are large, furry animals with thick, metallic fur. They live in forests and eat mostly plants, but they also like to hunt mice and other small animals. They are extremely intelligent and can learn to speak a language other than their own. They are covered in gold-laced fur that conducts heat extremely well, making them uncomfortably hot every summer and dangerously cold every winter. For this reason, wild mooshans typically prefer more mild climates.
