#070 Cycti

Cycti are an artificial race created by infusing gorilla DNA in a spliced cactus-bramble plant that evolved sentience and intelligence only a year after inception. Now, they roam the deserts with armies of sub-humans blindly following their vast intelligence, strength, and survival skills. Their name is naturally pronounced with unnatural vocal sounds, but humans typically call them "kicks".

#075 Vwamil

The first vwamil discovered swam out of a hot springs in a crowded, national park in the winter. The park was immediately shut down for investigation into what the unknown creature was, which then led to the discovery that vwamils commonly live in the deepest crevasses in many popular hot springs around the world. Why that first vwamil left the boiling water for a cold, winter day is still unknown.

#040 Menta

Menta tunnel their long, fish-looking tails through the seafloor and bait larger fish into biting it. The menta use a low-level form of mind control to then will the fish into the real menta body's mouth. Mentas have no known age or size limit and seem to grow 1-2 additional tails every decade, which continue to grow in length over time and can be independently controlled.

#007 Merm

Merms live in small groups, typically in the deepest reaches of the western oceans. They seem closely related to a potential aquatic fork of human evolution, but scientists haven't yet developed a way to communicate with them.

#138 Glorbon

Commonly mistaken as large, black boulders, glorbons rarely ever move except to subtly shape small cavities at the base of their bulbous body. They then secrete a sweet-smelling fragrance to lure small critters into the holes, where they are quickly trapped and absorbed by the glorbon. Their extremely-slow metabolism allows glorbons to go years between meals. Although they are extremely hardy and durable, they also have no active defense mechanism and therefore fall prey to the more persistent of predators, such as humans. Glorbon chitin is often used in construction, providing great insulation and support.

#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.

#127 Joprao

The joprao is a flying, amphibious creature which grows to be about four meters in length. It makes its nest in the long grasses of the savanna, where it lays and incubates its eggs. In order to attract mates and protect its territory, the joprao will create long, brightly colored ribbons of hair, which it attaches to its back and chest. When a male joprao is attempting to win a female, it will flap its wings to produce a high-pitched clicking sound at a unique frequency which only their mate will hear. Although few jopraos can hear each other, they can all be heard by humans; as such, joprao mating season is enough to force almost everyone in the area away for weeks at a time.

#184 Urk

Urks are enormous creatures that look like a cross between a turtle and a dolphin. They have strong, boney shells and powerful fins they use to propel themselves through the water. Their shells also contain thousands of chitinous pearls, and they are hunted by poachers for this reason. Hunters believe the delicious urk meat also holds restorative properties. Urks typically live for hundreds of years and only reproduce once during their lifetime.

#266 Zajg

Zajg (spelled zayg in some locales) are a faceless fish common in warm reefs. These large trawlers use a version of echolocation that provides better information about their surroundings compared to typical fish eyesight. This sensory system allows zajg to dominate their habitats using tactical positioning and almost-omniscient knowledge of what is happening where. Although zajg reproduce often, their populations are often controlled by local fishermen.
