#050 Mahaman

Mahaman that are humanoid birds that exist partially outside of time, which manifests visually with the eponymously-named phenomenon mahamans are known for: superpositions of their body in several simultaneous slices of time appear in tandem to others, which results in creatures that look blurry, morphing, and duplicated.

#228 Agriot

Agriots are long, thin beetles with bright orange wings. They are primarily nocturnal, and spend their days sleeping in the hot desert sands; they will spend the night flying and catching insects in their long, thin pincers. Agriots tend to live by themselves, but will gather together in groups of up to three to eat a larger meal. Sharing a meal in this way seems to create a bond that precludes any aggression between those agriots from that point onward.

#223 Flignog

Flignogs are small, furred creatures that can usually be found in trees, grasslands, and caves. They often band together in small tribes, and are known to "bray" at each other to communicate. They are omnivores and spend much time hunting small animals and gathering fruit. They have also grown to enjoy the "brayberries" of the braytree, which flignogs often collect and bury in secret troves for later.

#244 Angelsilk

The angelsilk jellyfish floats through the air on a cloth-like fabric made of the protein chains they produce for skin. Angelsilk are also known as ballgown angels to those who live near enough to the coast to see them. It is not uncommon for these jellyfish to grow long, elegant strips of material that float elegantly through the water as they move, sometimes reaching five or six feet long. These jellyfish do not sting.

#283 Dukrok

Dukroks are desert-dwelling birds that come in brown, black, and grey variants. They have long, thin legs and use their beaks like pickaxes to mine for insects in the sand. The dukrok will sometimes bury itself in the sand and wait for prey to come near before leaping up and spearing it with its beak. In some rare circumstances, dukroks will migrate to slightly cooler areas of plains or forests; seeing a dukrok outside of a desert is a good omen.

#218 Sihzzh

A sihzzh is an aquatic creature with a variety of strange habits related to constantly shedding its hardened skin. They usually live in large lakes or in the briny depths of the ocean, where they prowl the water in an almost never-ending search for food. Sihzzh are not social creatures and will easily fight to the death over a single fish. Luckily, even when a sihzzh is hurt, it can heal quickly by exposing its wounds to the sun; after a few hours, all injuries will be completely mended, and the sihzzh will go back to hunting.

#235 Worgant

Worgants are a species of small were-ants that live in packs in the northern forests. They have a symbiotic relationship with the betzkra woodpeckers, who make holes in the bark of trees to get at grubs and other insects, which worgants then turn into thriving nests. For a brief time after a worgant death, a small, white flower can be seen sprouting from their carcass.

#286 Zuggar

Zuggars are enormous, tentacled abominations from an unknown origin. Zuggars survive by scooping up giant mountains and slowly digesting the rock formations. After a zuggar finishes eating, it floats to the next mountain and begins the process again. Zuggars have been known to destroy entire continents in their lifetimes and are theorized to be capable of devouring entire planets.

#338 Flarthog

Flarthogs are a species of wandering, burrowing creatures that look like tiny pink hedgehogs with giant ears. They have no concept of personal property and will take whatever they want from each other or people's homes, though once they have an object, they usually carry it around with them everywhere. Each flarthog has a unique personality, and some are known to be very aggressive. Their only source of food is a slimy bacterial organism that they grow on the underside of their quills, which commonly leads to bouts of cannibalism in some areas.
