#093 M'li
M'li are electrically-charged, gelatinous airfish closely related to the ancient jellyfish of oceans. Fleets of m'li are often cared for by farmers who appreciate the m'li's cross-pollination of battery fields. The electrical current that emanates from every m'li body forms a circuit over the air with nearby electronics, equalizing battery charges between them all.
#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.
#135 Lononin
Lononins are strange, trans-dimensional birds that are infamous for their ability to teleport anything they touch into another dimension. With no ears, all lononins are deaf. Younger lononins are usually very skittish and shy, often immediately teleporting away from unwary travelers who get too close.
#207 Skeighnog
Skeighnogs are vicious and bloodthirsty creatures from the vast forests of the world. They are small, roughly the size of a small dog but with a long, scaly tail and a bulbous, pouchy stomach. They are predators and will eat anything they can catch and fit in their mouths, but their favorite prey is the klelag, which they hunt by burrowing into the thick grasses of the nests. When a skeighnog attacks its prey, it usually does it from above, leaping down on its target and impaling them with its long, curved claws. A skeighnog can run very fast and has the speed to catch a human, but they are more likely to feast on their fallen prey until they've eaten their fill before chasing anything else.
#251 Gorgolasa
Gorgolasas are giant carnivorous spiders with very sensitive eyes and hearing. They have a speed and agility comparable to that of a human, and they will often hunt in packs to bring down larger creatures. Despite their ferociousness, when humans have tried to domesticate them, they have proven to be extremely loyal and affectionate, often attempting to cuddle and nuzzle their masters when they get the chance. Gorgolasas produce a fine silk that is both strong and light.
#304 Yahak
Yahaks are small and brightly colored birds. They have hearts that beat very rapidly and are able to fly extremely quickly, though sometimes they have difficulty turning when flying at their highest speeds. When they first hatch from their eggs, they are incredibly shy and will often spend several days in their nest. However, as they grow older they will become much braver and will often be found swooping around other animals, as they enjoy being around other creatures.
#343 Qualya
The first record of the gargantuan qualya was recorded by scientists on a digging expedition nearly a century ago, where they reported instrument malfunctions, tremors, and fits of temporary insanity. Since then, those who have studied qualya hypothesize that this creature is capable of controlling a wide variety of other underground critters, and uses a form of shared mind to remain largely undetected by predators or inquisitive human eyes. This induction into the shared mind seems to leave many creatures with deep discolorations on their skin or cancerous tumors within, yet no autopsies have revealed a chemical or biological cause that links them directly to qualya. There is much left to be understood about this ancient behemoth.
#164 Finishi
The fabled finishi bird is most notable for its "perfect" camouflage as no living finishi has ever been sighted, even in areas estimated to be completely overrun by them based on the number of finishi carcasses found daily, such as in the titular Finishi Forest. Some small cult followings believe the finishi bird is a living embodiment of the forests they dwell in, while others see them taking a more active role as the guardian or protector of their forest. However, most are skeptical that these birds are anything more than just camouflage experts living a typical aviary life. There is also a prevailing belief among some regions that finishi don't exist at all, and that the carcasses found were simply crafted by those who "found" them, or planted there by nearby towns looking for increased tourism. Although no one is certain about what finishi birds are, where they came from, what they eat, or how they live, they are certainly birds that have swept the intrigue of the world by storm: cash prizes for sighting or live captures of finishi birds are prevalent and extremely lucrative... if possible.
#259 Gghun'vur
Gghun'vur are small insects with 13 legs that live in the coldest frozen tundras in the world. Their internal body temperature is very close to absolute zero, which severely limits the temperatures they can survive in; harsh, freezing temperatures comparatively feel like a sunny day to them and they manage to keep warm in these environments. Gghun'vur hunt other insects and small creatures via a combination of high-speed sprinting and a powerful jump, which the gghun'vur uses to tackle and wrap its legs around its prey, instantly freezing them. An enyzme from the gghun'vur's saliva breaks down biomass within frozen hunks as they lick it, allowing this small creature to consume entire frozen meals with just its small, barbed tongue.
