Artik-un

Artik-un are hoofed creatures domesticated for their speed, strength, and intelligence. Artik-un have an excellent sense of balance and can leap twenty times their height in the air, where they're also capable of contorting their body in response to wind pressure to ensure they always land hooves-down. An artik-un reaches full adult development after three years and have an average lifespan of 10 to 20 years.

#089 Vieflhuse

Vieflhusen are skymantas that frequently dip below the clouds in search of food, fun, and friends. Although their eyesight is terrible, they are able to use an altered form of echolocation to sense a three-dimensional representation of the area and its inhabitants beneath them. Each Vieflhuse is able to reproduce asexually and typically carries litters of 4-8 small vieflhusen on their back after giving birth.

#038 Gyrom

Gyroms are genetically-engineered giraffe variants that not only have significantly more fat and muscle, but also produce a thin protein film on their skin that absorbs back into the meat to ultimately provide more than double the protein per pound of meat compared to traditional meat competitors. Flocks of gyrom are kept in densely-packed, travel-ready "meat box" cages that take advantage of the gyrom's intentionally-designed height and slimness by lining the tall cage's ceiling with a universally-available feeder. In long-term storage, cages are typically stacked vertically with special biomech attachments that recycle food for lower cages from the excrement of upper cages.

#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.

#130 Sylveph

Sylvephs are loud, obnoxious sheep with fine, silk fur. Farmers despise their constant bleeting and the incredible mess they make in the field. Although they slowly produce silver thread, their spoils must be thoroughly washed and disinfected to prepare them for use. Sylvephs prefer to eat mushrooms and rotting biomass.

#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.

#109 Swox Majora

The swox majora is an exotic variant of the common swox moth that grows several magnitudes larger than their minora cousins. Swox majora have unwieldy, feathery wings that are heavy with the pearlescent pigments they use to attact mates. Any time the air gets too moist, swox majora are forced to lie out and sunbathe until their wings are dry enough to fly. As such, they prefer the drier climates atop mountains and largely keep to themselves, although they've evolved a wide array of defence mechanisms that have proved useful against most predators.

#318 Flyx-in-ruck

For the longest time, the flyx-in-ruck didn't have an official name, largely due to the effective camouflage and stealth techniques this snake-like reptile employs. Each flyx-in-ruck is unique, adopting a sleep pattern, hunting strategies, and food preference depending on factors in its environment. Some flyx-in-ruck migrate seasonally, and some migrate so often they may as well be called nomads. Although all flyx-in-ruck are vastly different, they do share a few common traits: they are always fast, always quiet diggers, always intelligent, and always immediately deadly to their unsuspecting prey. It is said that once you see a flyx-in-ruck, it is already too late.

#319 Drontinc

Drontincs are tiny dragons which primarily communicate through telekinesis. They often get caught up in the winds and blown across the world, which makes them particularly adventurous and inquisitive for a species which has such a short lifespan. Every spring, when drontincs are newly hatched, they are sent on a quest to find their mate. It is an incredibly challenging process, as they must learn to navigate the landscape (many drontincs will get caught in storms and blown off into the ocean), but once they have found their mate, they will spend their lives together in a small home beneath the earth.

#340 Skaða

The skaða are an ancient race of corrupted energy, capable of destroying entire planets in the blink of an eye. It is said that skaða lose one of their countless eyes every time they witness the death of another universe, and the Elder skaða is said to have only one eye remaining. Although skaða are capable of basic speech and throat singing, the sound they produce can only be heard by young girls. Skaða meat is a delicacy in the northernmost continent, where the once-diverse skaða populations have largely all migrated to.
