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.

#024 Gnawl

Gnawls are a small, nocturnal, mountain-dwelling species that are known for their ability to carve caves into mountains and their distinctive multi-layered teeth. They are also known for their ability to communicate with each other through a series of low-pitched moans and growls. Their diet consists of insects, small rodents, and small birds.

#044 Zweifhlaightte

Zweifhlaughttes are colossal slugs from a time long before humans that have an interesting physiological compartmentalization not present in other species on the planet. The majority of the body remains buried underground in self-dug caves, while smaller pieces of the body detach and claw their way up to the surface, where they hunt for small animals. After they've consumed an excess of nutrients, the hunting appendages return underground and rejoin with their host body.

#148 Dacagoth

Dacagoths are small, fluffy mushroom-like creatures that live in grottos and caves. They are about the size of a human thumb and are typically a light shade of gray. They spend most of their time sleeping and eating the rocks and fungus of the caverns they inhabit. After several years, they reach maturity and gain the ability to shed their sentience and become a regular mushroom.

#112 Krearieae

Krearieae are large, birds covered in dense, wooly plumage. They are a sacred animal in the Unser culture. Members of the Fromug tribe breed and raise them as livestock, using their dung as a fertilizer and using krearieae feathers as a source of heat. They are also very powerful fliers and can carry objects almost ten times their own weight. When they are fully grown, they can be as large as an elephant.

#202 Fethid

Fethids are a species of large, fish-like creatures that live in the ocean. They are about two feet long and weigh about two hundred pounds. They are extremely intelligent and have evolved a complex system of language, culture, and social structure. They communicate with one another using a series of whistles and clicks that vibrate through water, which they use to convey complex ideas and emotions. They are known to be extremely peaceful and will not attack any other creature unless provoked, although they will defend themselves if necessary. Fethids have incredibly dense and strong skin that makes great armor when hunted.

#234 Xlidngh

The xlidngh is a small, flying creature that continuously secretes a sweet-smelling pheremone from its third eye, located on its body. This pheromone attracts nearby creatures of all shapes and species in an almost trance-like state, where they will follow nearby xlidnghs wherever they go. While these small creatures often use this ability to lure would-be predators to their death (and score themselves a nice dinner or two), they also seem to frequently lead animals in need to where they should go, whether they're lost, looking for their family, or looking for food/water. It is unknown whether or how xlidnghs communicate, but they generally seem to be friendly and good-natured.

#374 Panileaf

A rare incubating leaf. When hatched, it's roots suck up all the nutrients in the soil and destroys the plants around it. These plants hatch a hundred years after they are taken out of their mother plant. The size of the leaves depends on how far it is from its mother plant when it hatches. The closer to its mother plants, the larger the leaves. The roots of the panileaf can be used as medicine for malnutrition as well as a drug. The leaves have no purpose other than helping to reproduce. The panileaf can be eaten by animals that have a stone stomach.

#284 Senjfisk

Senjfisk use thousands of microscopic limbs to move sand around them, enabling them to effectively swim through sand and loose dirt. These nocturnal carnivores also undergo a biological stasis while sleeping, which completely stops all but their most vital autonomous functions, including breathing. On particularly hot desert days, senjfisk will often sleep in any oasis nearby, sometimes sleeping underwater for days or weeks at a time.

#333 Gremalf

The gremalf can be found in large herds in forests, hills, and mountains. Gremalves are large, cloven-hoofed animals that are kept by many farmers for their rich, orange milk. A gremalf herd is usually led by a single dominant female known as the "queen." The queen will determine where the herd feeds and will attack and kill any other gremalves who try to assume her position.
