#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.
#097 Whalewalker
These hulking creatures once dominated the long-lost oceans. As the heat wave intensified and oceans began to evaporate, the first whalewalker ancestors adapted their way onto land. Whalewalkers lay down and open their gigantic mouth, then remain still for days at a time to lure in bugs and other small animals before chomping down for a calorie-packed bite. They live lonely, frequently-migrating lives.
#111 Quernug
The quernug is a strange creature that resembles a sheep. They stand about 2ft tall and are covered in purple, matted wool, have a frog-like mouth, and have two horns on the sides of their head. Quernugs make a strange barking sound and will hop around, blindly following humans and other creatures. They are generally harmless, but may sometimes bite their companions, resulting in serious wounds, infection, and prolonged illness. Quernugs reproduce by spitting up eggs in a nest of mud and rotting leaves.
#371 Tangleweaver
If you find this strange egg nestled in leaves in the darkest part of the forest, do not touch it. Run as far and as fast as you can. Those who come too near the tangleweaver will be entranced, and fall into a deep sleep while vines grow over their bodies, hiding what was done. When the tangleweaver hatches, it will crawl into and infect the victim, using the body as a disguise to mingle with humans. It will suck on the souls of the humans around it for years, until the day it has grown large and strong enough to break free of its human suit and begin feasting on flesh.
#066 Stonemaker
Stonemakers inhabit deserts, fields, and mountains. They feed largely off rock and stone, always migrating to find new flavors and consistencies. Venom injected through a stonemaker bite will also turn most organic matter into a hardened stone within a matter of minutes or hours, depending on the size and hardiness of the victim. There is no known cure for the stonemaker's turn other than a fast amputation before the venom can spread. Stonemakers often flock to the statues they make in nature, sharing their kill with others of their tribe.
#150 Toomel
Toomels are small worm-like creatures that live just below the surface of the earth. They enjoy tunneling through the ground but prefer to stay close to the surface. When it rains, toomels will emerge from the ground and spend time on the surface to avoid drowning. During this time, they're particularly vulnerable to predators because they have no effective defense mechanisms other than shifting their spherical body segments into other configurations.
#233 Pewarra
On the plains near the city, you can find the wingless pewarras that live in large herds, best known for their concave skeleton and recognizable gait. When threatened by a predator, pewarras will huddle together in a large circle and take turns making noises to scare the predator away. Depending on the herd and their range of possible sounds, this defense mechanism can be extremely effective — or ineffective.
#178 Xi'gind
The xi'gind is an unintelligent creature that shares more DNA with terrestrial flora than fauna. A single xi bulb, given the proper care and environment, can sprout a newborn xi'gind within a matter of weeks. Although the xi'gind head then grows vertically out of the soil, xi'ginds also accelerate root-like growth of fleshy appendages that can grow from the ground over a hundred yards away. It is currently unknown how the xi'gind controls these remote appendages, as they don't seem to share a physical connection with the head.
#074 Angrenif
Angrenifs are shapeless blobs of living matter that can be found in the deserts of the world. They are extremely resilient and can survive for years without water or food, instead drawing their energy from the heat of the desert. When an angrenif is in direct sunlight, it will begin to move faster and morph to grow larger; but when it is in the shade, it will slow down and begin to shrink. Their typical lifespan is about one hundred years.
