A wild creature appears!

Sihzzh

A sihzzh is an aquatic creature with a variety of strange habits related to constantly shedding its hardened skin. They usually live in large lakes or in the briny depths of the ocean, where they prowl the water in an almost never-ending search for food. Sihzzh are not social creatures and will easily fight to the death over a single fish. Luckily, even when a sihzzh is hurt, it can heal quickly by exposing its wounds to the sun; after a few hours, all injuries will be completely mended, and the sihzzh will go back to hunting.

#105 Girflet

Girflets are creatures typically found in the damp undergrowth at the base of forest cliffs. When disturbed, they will race away at high speed, firing off seedpods into the air. On the ground, these seedpods bury themselves into loose dirt and sprout into a full-grown tree, making girflets great for reforesting an area.

#248 Yawelt

Yawelts are small reptiles that live in hot, dry deserts. They are extremely fast and use this speed to escape from predators. When a yawelt is hungry, it will enter a trance and move in whatever direction it is facing until it finds food. Even if it is surrounded by food and water, a yawelt can continue to move for days if they aren't directly in front of food. Because of their extreme tunnel vision, several popular children's stories about focus, drive, and relaxation are based on the common yawelt.

#209 Beleymer

Beleymers are enormous, leopard-like creatures that live in the swamps and marshes in the north. When they are not hunting and eating, they enjoy wallowing in mud and sleeping in the sun. Beleymers live in families and often work together to catch prey, forming long-term familial communities. Beleymer fur is extremely thick and heat-resistant, making their pelts extremely valuable to colder societies.

#189 Stone Gool

Stone gools are incredibly powerful forest creatures with skin made of malleable stone. As they age, they grow additional sets of arms on a taller and taller frame until they max out around the same height as trees, at which point it becomes incredibly difficult for them to maneuver around the forest quickly. While they are young and smaller, however, they are extremely fast and extremely strong and have no known predators, using brute strength to take whatever they want from whoever they want.

#162 Dansi

The dansi is a species of fish that can be found near the water surface in many areas of the world. They have an average length of fifteen inches and an average weight of thirty ounces. Dansis have a very flexible spine which allows them to make rapid turns and twists when trying to catch prey or avoid predators. They are typically dark yellow in color and have a large dorsal fin.

#160 Mechacrab

Mechacrabs were ironically given their name after a sarcastic explorer discovered the species in an underground cave on a spiritual voyage deep in the far east. Mechacrabs have detachable legs and hard, modular shells that they can reconfigure and reattach new legs and hand-made appendages anywhere they need them. It is believed they are incredibly smart and inventive, but the species lacks the physiology necessary for speech or language functions and is plagued by a particularly short natural lifespan.

#295 Digo gaur

Digo gaur are a domesticated breed of zainko whose closest genetic common ancestor is the pig. Digo gaur were first discovered at the Last Refuge in the far north at the end of the second era and were bred in large numbers for food before the gaur ultimately ran wild with a power vacuum in the ecosystem. Ages ago, schoolkids used to school each other on the little-known fact that digo gaurs were the only living animal capable of surviving a decapitation. Over several millennia, digo gaurs began to evolve wilder variations of smaller and smaller heads, presently culminating in an elongated neck terminating in a hypersensitive nerve feeler.

#253 Mawtok

Mawtokes are highly territorial creatures that lurk in the oceans of the world. They are only visible when they are swimming in sunlight and can remain motionless underwater for days at a time. If they decide to attack, they will rise out of the water and dig their powerful tentacles into the ground to move, and they will drag themselves and their prey back into the ocean, even if the mawtok is several miles from the shore. Mawtokes can store a large amount of water inside a specialized sac in their abdomen that lets them breathe for up to six hours while on land.

#363 Wrappit

Meet the wrappit! These mischievous creatures are often found traveling by hitching rides on discarded wrapping paper or nestled inside gifts. With their small, gremlin-like bodies and scruffy fur, wrappits are sure to make a memorable impression to those who least expect them. Although they may look cute and cuddly, wrappits are known for their love of chaos and mischief. They have a particular fondness for shredding paper, whether it's the wrapping paper from a present or important documents left lying around. They particularly like paper that has been written on, and even moreso like paper which contains written fiction or worldbuilding. One fun detail about wrappits is their love of practical jokes. They have been known to hide in cupboards and jump out to surprise unsuspecting passersby, to switch the contents of gift boxes, to steal cookies and other treats, or to rearrange decorations in the dead of night. As for their diet, wrappits are known to munch on bits of paper and ribbon with their cookies, as well as the occasional piece of fruit or veggie. They have a particular fondness for pine cones and holly berries. But don't let their mischievous nature fool you — wrappits are also fiercely loyal friends. They have a special bond with those who show them kindness and respect, and will go out of their way to bring joy and laughter to their human companions.
