#010 Vruntyk
Vruntyks are an ancient race of reptile that lived underground in caves for millennia before emerging and finding refuge in deserts and mountains across the globe. They're unfathomably fast and ferocious and live in gigantic, migrating communities. Their skin is as chewable as bubble gum and makes for a strong, defensive leather when tanned.
#021 Red Vasamee
The Red Vasamee is a rodent-like creature that is notable for evolving over time to be strictly vegetarian after a meat-bourne illness nearly caused their extinction. These days they prowl through fields looking for seeds and berries, but will also settle for blander meals like grass and plant stalks.
#146 Forsydifs
Forsydifs are a variant of ant that has evolved to live on the backs of humanoids, from whom they eat dead skin cells. They spend most of their lives crawling between the dermis and epidermis of their hosts and are capable of surviving on just dead skin and perspiration for their entire lives. They do not harm their hosts and are considered to be beneficial as they clean the skin and help prevent infection.
#272 Gwievft
Gwievft are large, aquatic eels that are typically found in underwater mycelium caverns, although they sometimes explore more open waters. Gwievft have an extremely venomous bite that can completely paralyze dolphins, sharks, and humans within hours and lead to death shortly after. During this time, the gwievft toxin has opium-like effects in the victim that work to keep it calm and avoid struggling. Gwievft toxins have been successfully extracted by natives for use in sacrificial and ceremonial drinks for centuries, although ranching them is an extremely dangerous job.
#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.
#258 Tarodo
Tarodos are dangerous cave-dwelling creatures. Their long tentacles are able to find and grasp prey from far away to drag it into their subterranean lairs. Tarodos usually hunt alone from the safety of their lair, but sometimes a few tarodos will group up to work together and overwhelm larger prey. While their sticky, venomous tentacles are a threat to most animals, some fish are able to swim up the tentacles and into the tarodo's mouth to retrieve half-digested fish scraps, as the tarodo's hooked tentacles struggle to grab small things that are moving quickly up the tentacle.
#297 Kensix
Kensixes are large, nocturnal reptiles that live in the desert. They are about the size of a car, and have a thick exoshell of chitin which protects them from the sun's rays as well as any physical attacks. To hunt, a kensix will use their deft legs to chase down their prey and repeatedly smash them with their gigantic body, sometimes leaping hundreds of feet in the air to crush unsuspecting prey from above. They are omnivorous, eating whatever meat they can find. Within their shell, kensixes have six rows of elongated incisors.
#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.
#341 Karystel
Karystels are noted for their beauty, grace, and quickness. Their long, lithe bodies move like eels, and they have scales in shades of iridescent purple, blue, and green. They are very popular in the arts, both among dancers and musicians. Baby karystels look like tadpoles, but significantly grow in size over a maturation period of two years. It is not understood why some karystels develop human-like hands and some develop large tentacles for arms.
