#090 Ekkast
The ekkast is a vicious creature that moves on eight legs but can slither through loose ground like a snake, and often feasts on large mammals. While young ekkasts are small enough to use natural rock structures for protection, the adult ekkasts burrow deep into the earth and make long, winding tunnels for themselves and their large families.
#071 Banjif
Banjifs spend most of their days rolled up in balls, taking naps in the sunlight. When they're hungry, they use their incredible leg strength to leap into the sky to catch a bird in their mouth. While in ball form, a banjif is protected from most predators by their strong, chitinous shell.
#134 Brokkind
Brokkinds are a species of intelligent monkey with silver wings that lives in trees in the tropics, mostly in the jungles of the world. They are about the size of a toucan and have a very high metabolism, eating about fifty times their body weight in food every day. They are very curious, and mature brokkinds often live alone, exploring the forest and watching the other creatures of the world with an unwavering gaze.
#107 Vlaughd
Vlaughd are demonic-looking, bat-winged desert creatures. They have extremely long prehensile tongues and their saliva is acidic enough to corrode metal. They have razor-sharp teeth and large, blood-red eyes. They are highly carnivorous and will attack and eat almost any other creature they come across. They are extremely fast and agile, and will not hesitate to pick a fight with a much larger adversary.
#309 Vargon
Vargons are enormous, thick-skinned reptiles that form the natural apex predator in the kingdom of Skulnir. They are visibly descended from several different creatures and have four clawed feet and feathery wings, which are hidden beneath their thick, leathery skin. They have a mouth full of razor-sharp teeth and a long, whip-like tail that they use to hunt prey and defend themselves. Vargons are incredibly tough and muscular and will kill anything in their path; however, they are also very clever and will usually avoid confronting creatures larger than themselves, unless they are extremely hungry or highly provoked.
#292 Volkan
The volkan is a massive creature, about the size of a buffalo, but with four legs and a tail. It is covered in thick black fur and has a massive mouth full of razor-sharp teeth. It has a pair of horn-like structures on its head and its eyes are usually glowing red or yellow in color. Volkans are solitary creatures and will rarely tolerate the presence of other volkans. They are extremely territorial and will fight to the death over their territory if they encounter another of their kind. When a battle between two volkans is about to begin, they will first do a series of complicated dances, where they will leap, kick, and stomp around the battleground.
#346 An fwo dur
An fwo dur share the majority of their DNA with an extinct armadillo-like creature that used to terrorize the mountainside. Unlike their ancestors, however, an fwo dur stand upright on two legs and reach heights of over nine feet tall. These intelligent creatures tower over the more primitive species in their ecosystem, both physically and intellectually; an fwo dur often use tools, build transient infrastructure, and communicate through disjoint chromatic aberrations which can also cause confusion and dizziness in other species.
#349 Flayansk
The flayansk originates in the far north, in the freezing highlands of Cotsk. Flayansk vary wildly in size throughout their life, growing quickly from the size of rodents to the size of large boulders, then eventually shrinking back to microscopic levels as they reach old age. No matter their size, however, flayansk struggle with their weight: since they weigh less than air, these creatures will hold themselves close to the ground with their massive claws so they don't float away into the atmosphere. Although flayansk can go for weeks (or, in some cases, months) without eating, starvation is still their leading cause of death due to being unable to get back down to the ground once they start floating away.
#368 Avar shlin
The feared avar shlin is an intrusive pest originating from radioactive swamps and dark forests. This long wriggler is best known for the debilitating toxin it induces within the eyes of anyone that sees it. Something about the avar shlin's image projected on a human retina causes a chemical reaction that produces what has been known as avar sludge; this goo slowly dissolves the intricate structures within the eyeball, resulting in a rare form of incurable blindness where the victim can still see, yet can't understand what is being seen. Avar shlin have been known to decimate entire kingdoms from within. Despite their destructive potential, avar shlins are not aggressive by nature and prefer to avoid confrontations with larger creatures. They are nocturnal, and during the day they will burrow into the ground to avoid detection. Their diet consists mainly of small insects and rodents, but they have been known to scavenge for larger prey if necessary.
