#003 Scrut

Scruts live in the deep north, where they burrow long distances through snow and dirt in search of their next meal. They secrete a natural, sticky antifreeze through their fur which prevents their small bodies from freezing. Although they live largely-vegetarian lives, they have been known to eat whatever happens to be available when starving.

#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.

#033 Crefih

The Crefih is an intelligent and tricky creature that attracts prey by reforming a tentacle-like appendage into the shape of a vulnerable animal. The body employs a natural camouflage and springs to attack anything that strays close to its trap. It's said that Crefih are nature's original tricksters.

#137 Gungon

Gungons are medium-sized primates that live in the colder forests of the world. Their white fur is very dense, waterproof, and home to many insect populations. The colorful plants that grow out of their backs serve as camouflage in the spring, after the snow has gone. The plants are edible, but are also able to store water that the creature can drink in times when it cannot find nearby water. Gungons loves to eat berries and can often be found in forests picking berries with its long prehensile tail. When a gungon feels threatened, it will stand on its hind legs, shake out a cloud of white pollen, and roar as loud as possible in order to scare off any would-be attacker.

#036 Darunian

Darunians were cursed by the elder gods to live forever in an observer plane, unable to be seen by or communicate with anything else on the planet. Their memory was also affected by the curse, which resulted in a long, imperfect memory that perpetually causes them debilitating grief from trying to differentiate what has really happened to the world versus what they have only imagined. It's said that the first darunians were a legendary band of adventurers with great hubris that found themselves face to face with a jealous god who transformed them into the furry creatures they are now — and forever will be.

#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.

#261 Gorgaur

Gorgaurs are a species of multi-legged reptiles common to beaches and the coasts of shallower seas. They are large and aggressive, living in small groups and hoarding small, precious objects that they find. A gorgaur group will typically carve out a shared burrow to sleep in and store their found valuables in small holes within it. Gorgaurs are also very intelligent, and have been observed using tools to dig up sand and build complex sand structures.

#336 Gardical

Gardicals are large, amphibious creatures. They are slow and clumsy on land, but are incredibly graceful in water. Gardicals are mostly docile, but it will become extremely agitated and aggressive if they lose sight of their young. Their thick skin is extremely resilient and they are capable of surviving falls from incredible heights and even being shot by guns and harpoons.

#294 Qing'chi

Legends of the old qing'chi depict them as peaceful, fast, and incredibly intelligent. Although they were physically disproportioned by most standards, it's widely believed that their large head was the precursor to developing multiple interspecies languages and a strategic awareness of their surroundings that made them untouchable to all but the most potent predators. While qing'chi are capable of running faster than the wind, they prefer to use their wits and predict predator movement ahead of time, so they never find themselves needing to run in the first place. The qing'chi weren't recorded as an endangered species before they all suddenly disappeared. Zoologists today theorize they may have migrated to lands yet unseen by man's eye.
