#043 Volcrano
Every volcano has at least one volcrano maintaining it. They do their best to keep out of sight but volcranos are bulky and slow. Volcanos as a species have been fate-bound to feed the volcanic lava until the end of time in order to keep it from seeking food outside of the volcano. It's the instinct they have immediately upon birth and it's the instinct they'll still be mindlessly striving for upon their inevitable death.
#079 Skrayll
Most Skraylls live in the darkest forests, eating shrubs and rodents, although those that live a long time often grow larger and larger. Skrayll bones are made of a soft, rubbery substance that allows them to change over time depending on use, not unlike how muscles grow and shrink. Their rubbery bone material also secretes a slimy substance that hardens into a thick hide when exposed to air, which skyraylls must constantly shed or else they risk mobility problems and/or full paralysis.
#121 Etorgidur
Etorgidurs are some of the largest creatures in the world, reaching heights of up to 100,000 feet. They are very closely related to the fabled etorgs in origin, but take a more ghostly, ethereal form and largely ignore all other forms of life. Etorgidurs have a much more social lifestyle; they will often gather in groups of up to 50 to eat, sleep, mate, and bask in the ghostly presence of each other. Because they are nonpermeating beings, they can phase through objects in the world and each other, which is what allows so many large etorgidurs to gather at such concentrated locations.
#234 Xlidngh
The xlidngh is a small, flying creature that continuously secretes a sweet-smelling pheremone from its third eye, located on its body. This pheromone attracts nearby creatures of all shapes and species in an almost trance-like state, where they will follow nearby xlidnghs wherever they go. While these small creatures often use this ability to lure would-be predators to their death (and score themselves a nice dinner or two), they also seem to frequently lead animals in need to where they should go, whether they're lost, looking for their family, or looking for food/water. It is unknown whether or how xlidnghs communicate, but they generally seem to be friendly and good-natured.
#188 Crysion
Crysions exhibit an interesting physical phenomenon not entirely understood yet by scientists: the refraction of their scales reflects light such that crysions are only visible in water and invisible out of water. After death, the crysion's scales begin a chemical decomposition process that results in less and less "invisibility" over time. Crysion meat is one of the most nutritious fish and said to be extremely good for maintaining healthy eyes.
#229 Tehrer
The tehrer is a small, flightless bird originating from volcanic islands in the south. Tehrers are extremely fast runners and use their powerful legs to leap from tree to tree, often reaching airborne heights and speeds such that they unintentionally harm themselves among landing. Their favorite food is resin, sap, and other tree fluids, and they'll often build nests next to where such food is available. Tehrers are generally friendly, active, and playful creatures that will readily interact with humans and other small, nonthreatening animals.
#314 Ghiana
Ghiana are a distant aquatic relative to ancient starfish that pump electricity through their veins and filter water into liquid carbon, which they passively absorb. Although these colorful fish are known for their beauty (and weirdness), the color they appear as depends entirely on the emotional state of their viewer. Those with a clear conscious will see them as a light pink, while those with deep secrets will see a darker red or orange. In rare cases, some people claim to see ghiana of other colors; however, scientists are still unsure of how ghiana color-changing mechanisms work and what exactly dictates who sees what color.
#345 Phang'ul
The feline-like phang'ul are a solitary, nomadic race that roams the lands in search of prey. They are known for their sleek, muscular build and their piercing, intelligent eyes. Their thick, luxurious fur comes in a range of colors, from deep blacks and browns to vibrant oranges and blues. In terms of behavior, phang'ul are skilled hunters and highly intelligent, with a natural aptitude for strategy and tactics. They are also fiercely independent, preferring to roam the lands on their own rather than live in communities. When it comes to reproduction, phang'ul have a unique mating ritual in which the male must prove his worth to the female by completing a series of abstract challenges. If he succeeds, the female will allow him to mate with her, after which she will give birth to a litter of up to four cubs. The phang'ul have a strict hierarchy within their society, with the strongest and most intelligent individuals rising to the top. They are also known for their strong magical abilities, which they use to protect themselves from predators and to enhance their hunting skills. Despite their solitary nature, phang'ul are not completely isolated from other races. They have been known to form temporary alliances with other creatures, particularly when faced with a common enemy. They are also skilled traders, and are often sought out by other races for their stockpiles of food and other resources.
#369 Akshaya
The ancient akshaya has been around since the beginning of life and is widely believed to be the source of it. Akshaya has a shimmering, iridescent body that is constantly changing colors and patterns, and seven long tentacles that it uses to move and interact with its environment. Its movements are graceful and fluid, and it is often described as having an almost ethereal quality. This galactic creature is capable of communicating with any species through telepathy and can manipulate raw energy to form interdimensional portals, which allow it to travel quickly throughout time and space. According to legend, akshaya uses these portals to seed barren worlds throughout the universe with their very first lifeforms. It is believed that akshaya's portals lead back to wherever its home is — and that they're filled to the brim with every possible combination of life imaginable, meticulously hand-crafted with love by akshaya.
