A wild creature appears!

Zaigarch

Zaigarchs are translucent jellyfish-like creatures that live in the magma chambers of their planet. They have bioluminescent organs that allow them to be seen in the dark recesses of their native caves, and the light they emit provides ocular nutrients to the other aquatic creatures nearby. They have no natural defenses and are very easy prey for larger animals. Zaigarchs reproduce asexually while being digested in other aquatic animals' stomaches.

#082 SLP-001

SLP-001 is the codename for the first viable new species designed at the [redacted] facility in [redacted], Virginia. Copies of SLP-001 have a bright, orange skin designed to be easily seen in low-light conditions, and eight octopus-like arms that can [redacted] a victim with a single touch. In the lab, they were made to wear a custom-made [redacted] to prevent any contact with their skin, especially when undergoing [redacted]. Any reports that claim an SLP-001 has escaped from the lab are completely unfounded and false.

#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.

#031 Hadgeit

Hadgeits are a rare, holy creature that are believed to be the physical manifestation of an ancient god of light. They are extremely rare and are typically found in the presence of other holy creatures. They have a variety of magical abilities, including the ability to create light and to heal themselves and others. When threatened, they can also use their light to blind their attackers and scurry away.

#217 Jauxckle

The jauxckle is a small mammal that typically calls colder forests its home, but will often wander into new areas in its post-life undead state. Although jauxckles exclusively feed on berries and other vegetation during their life, they also include meat in their diet during their undeath. A chemical process occurs upon their death that continues to animate their muscular system, moving the jauxckle using muscle memory but without an associated consciousness; although dead jauxckles look alive, they are merely shadows of their former life and cannot think, sense their environment, or feel pain. A side effect of this chemical process produces a thick, chromatic goo that oozes from their pores and keeps the body supple and moisturized.

#242 Antwij

Antwij are a race of small angomites that originate from the southern deserts, but have long since migrated to a wider array of biomes after their homes became uninhabitable. Antwijes don't typically survive very long in the wild, except in the easiest of environment, because of their extremely docile nature and lack of hunting skill. Additionally, these small insects seem to have difficulty taking any food they deem belongs to someone or something else, leaving them starving even when a source of food may be nearby. In some desert societies, antwijes are renowned as ancient, holy creatures and provided a steady supply of food from the church. In these societies, it is not uncommon for these small creatures to crawl over sleeping members of the church in the night, repeatedly kissing them as a sign of thanks and good luck.

#187 Southern Bladesnake

The southern bladesnake is an aggressive snake variant originating in the deserts of Yerht. Most notable for their regenerative serum, bladesnakes intentionally sever the tails of their young and hold scavenged knives or other metal trinkets against the newborn's wound. Wounded bladesnakes secrete a natural healant that bonds their biostructure with the foreign objects, resulting in snakes that grow up with, for example, a knife for a tail. Despite their name, bladesnakes aren't typically aggressive and often bond with other metal objects, like spoons, pipes, and ancient debris and then learn to use their tails as specialized tools within their community.

#324 Wogflorp

The wogflorp is a large, somewhat docile creature that is often mistaken for a drifflefert. It likes to wander around the edge of shallow water, moving at the same pace as the current. It is often found sunning itself on the shore, but if disturbed it will flee into the water and hide. Due to their size, their glowing nose, their loud breathing (and numerous bubbles produced when breathing underwater), and their awkward, limited mobility, wogflorps are very bad at hiding — especially from predators who've gotten a wiff of their delicious aroma.

#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.

#361 Aparilla

Aparilla are small, translucent invertebrates from the sea, best known for the soft glow they emit on dark nights. Although they are quite tiny, only growing to about the size of a thumb, they pack quite a punch when it comes to their defense mechanisms. When threatened, they release a burst of bright light and a loud, high-pitched noise that can disorient their predators. They can also release a poisonous substance that causes a painful, burning sensation. Aparilla tend to live in large groups, known as colonies, and work together to protect and defend their territory. They are fiercely loyal to their colony, and will go to great lengths to ensure its safety. However, they can also be quite territorial, and will attack any intruders that wander too close to their home. Breeding patterns for aparillas are complex and still not fully understood by scientists. They are known to reproduce through both sexual and asexual means, with some individuals capable of producing offspring without the need for a mate. Aparillas are also known for their ability to regenerate their tentacles, which allows them to continue hunting and reproducing even after being injured. Despite their small size and seemingly fragile nature, aparillas are actually quite resilient creatures. They can withstand extreme temperature fluctuations and are able to adapt to changing environments with ease. This has allowed them to thrive in many different areas of the world, including both warm and cold climates. Overall, the aparilla is a unique and fascinating creature that continues to capture the attention of scientists and marine enthusiasts alike. Its mysterious behavior and adaptability make it an important subject of study in the field of marine biology.
