#029 Chreish
Chreish are sprawling, shapeless creatures that lack the traditional skin and body of most creatures. Instead, they grow long, entwined limbs of pure hair which act like roots to leech nutrients from the plants and soil they crawl over. They shed a lot of hair when moving and are generally seen as pests outside of the coldest climates, where their hair is a more precious resource.
#017 Dust Angel
The dust angel is a common critter in arable desert areas. Nutrients from their saliva propagates through plants into the soil, improving yield for all plants in the vicinity. They're extremely rare and expensive, but the richest farming organizations seem to have a limitless supply to use.
#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.
#226 Muludar
The muludar is a species of crab that can be found in many areas of the ocean. They have an average length of six to nine inches and an average weight of eighty pounds. Muludars are typically bright red in color and have large pincers that can be used to crush coral or grab food. Muludar crabs are a bane to net fishermen everywhere, as their density and weight often tear through all but the hardiest of fishing nets. These crustaceans also have one large eye and a variable number of legs.
#254 Boolic
Boolics are placid snail-like creatures that spend most of their days crawling in circles through the grass, slowly grazing and depositing their helmet-like shells in a community pile as they grow. In the night they retreat into their shells and begin to dream of their perfect life, a life arranged to the precise specifications of their shell’s dimensions. If this perfect life is disrupted by a predator, the boolic will summon a powerful blast of focused light that will blind the intruder and force them to flee.
#275 Foyud
Foyud are small insects that look like perched butterflies. However, foyuds are actually more closely related to arachnids that wear "wings" purely for decoration and dissuading predators. Beneath their wings, foyuds walk on dozens of tiny articulated legs. Foyuds cannot fly or even jump, and spend most of their time slowly stumbling from vegetation to vegetation in constant search of food.
#351 Volly
Volly are sturdy, four-legged mammals that live on lush mountaintops, peacefully grazing on grass, flowers, and small mushrooms. Centuries ago, volly were almost entirely domesticated and bred for their restorative tears; over time, however, the human race built up a resistance to the healing effects offered by volly tears. Eventually, the last domesticated volly were released back into the wild, where they seemingly all migrated to the highest altitudes to live in isolation among small familial groups. It is generally believed that the volly have evolved over time to retain their natural healing abilities, but only for use on other volly and not for the benefit of other species.
#114 Rolglu
Rolglu are large, bristly bears that never stop migrating. They have six legs, detachable paws, and stand about eight feet tall. They are herbivores and will often follow farmers' plows, eating the freshly dug roots and other plants that are uncovered. Rolglu tend to be very friendly and will often secretly crawl into merchant boats to be carried around the world; however, their size makes them dangerous to keep aboard and merchants will often push them into the ocean upon discovery, forcing them to swim back to land. While they can be found anywhere around the world, they largely prefer the cold tundras where their thick pelt doesn't cause them to overheat.
#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.
