#015 Verdebird
Weirdly, verdebirds glow a bright green color while also only being visible in the direct shadows of light passing through green-tinted glass, making it a rarity to actually observe one outside of controlled conditions. It's said that witnessing one is a terrible omen for things to come, but some groups of people worship them as a harbinger of change and carry shards of green glass with them wherever they go.
#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.
#087 Red-eyed Deepsquid
It's a rare occurrence for a red-eyed deepsquid to wash ashore, but certain coasts make a habit of it more often than others. It is unclear how the beached deepsquids we've seen have died, nor is it clear where in the deep oceans they call home. Deep-sea explorers have found no signs of them in any expedition and their origins and behaviors remain largely a mystery.
#166 Zaigarch
Zaigarchs are translucent jellyfish-like creatures that live in the magma chambers of their planet. They have bioluminescent organs that allow them to be seen in the dark recesses of their native caves, and the light they emit provides ocular nutrients to the other aquatic creatures nearby. They have no natural defenses and are very easy prey for larger animals. Zaigarchs reproduce asexually while being digested in other aquatic animals' stomaches.
#210 Meldor
As the national animal of a small, farmer-run republic on their planet, the meldor is a peaceful and generally friendly creature that can be found minding its own business around the fields and forests of the region. While their legs have lost the strength and power that they used to have in the past, they have learned to adapt by using their surprisingly strong wings to lift their bodies into the air, becoming warriors that fight with the wind itself! A fleet of meldors are always a force to be reckoned with!
#278 Arang'raco
The arang'raco is a large lizard native to the deepest jungles. They are known for their vibrant and colorful scales and the immense sharpness of their front teeth. The arang'raco typically uses its teeth for display and for breaking through tough fruits, but it can also use them for fighting. They typically have a calm and gentle nature, but if they feel threatened by a hostile creature, they will use their powerful legs to leap toward their enemy. An arang'raco bite is usually enough to instantly subdue most predators.
#290 Borkar
The borkar is a small creature that is a distant relative of canines. It is primarily nocturnal, and will often roam around in the dark on its back legs, carrying its food in its front claws. Due to its razor-sharp claws, it is a very fast runner and can climb most obstacles as easily as running along the ground. Like its canine cousins, it is a pack animal and coexists with other borkars peacefully. Borkar often wander into human settlements and live on the streets, only coming out at night to scavenge through trash for food.
#326 Kawa-tri
Kawa-tri are bulbous, tree-like creatures that live in forests. They thrive in the shade of other trees and grow much faster when they are standing near other kawa-tri. When a kawa-tri senses that it is in danger, its entire body will harden, effectively turning it into a tree. This makes it difficult for predators to eat it, as the tough bark is not easily digested. However, kawa-tri will sometimes harden to protect themselves from the rain and will die if left too long in this state.
#151 Zamperk
Zamperk are large, powerful creatures related to ancient dragons, but classified as a modern hydra. They are covered in thick dragon scales made of opaque crystals and have large, razor-sharp claws and teeth. They have long, whip-like tails with an accelerated regeneration factor that often not only heals all cuts and wounds, but also spawns additional, conjoined zamperk bodies as appendages. Zamperk scales are a common medicinal component when ground up into fine powder. Zamperks can also be found hibernating in large caves, particularly those found inset in mountainous terrain. Zamperks sometimes sleep for years at a time and are very difficult to wake up; however, whenever a zamperk awakens, they experience intense hunger and will hunt down the first living thing they see.
