A wild creature appears!

Ghiana

Ghiana are a distant aquatic relative to ancient starfish that pump electricity through their veins and filter water into liquid carbon, which they passively absorb. Although these colorful fish are known for their beauty (and weirdness), the color they appear as depends entirely on the emotional state of their viewer. Those with a clear conscious will see them as a light pink, while those with deep secrets will see a darker red or orange. In rare cases, some people claim to see ghiana of other colors; however, scientists are still unsure of how ghiana color-changing mechanisms work and what exactly dictates who sees what color.

#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.

#061 Dirb

Dirbs are flightless birds that wander fields looking for seeds and other small scraps of food. Their legs are incredibly thin and often crack or break with the slightest bump or stumble, but they heal quickly. Dirb meat is bland but filling and they are easy prey for anything that's hungry.

#356 Ashkmagn

There are ten known ashkmagn, and they all reside within the same volcanic cavern, which they are aggressively territorial about. This endangered species is intelligent and capable of complex speech. Although they seem to understand several human languages, there has been only one confirmed instance of an ashkmagn ever speaking to a human who lived to tell the tale.

#154 Sizzten muette

The ancient sizzten muette has been a staple of oasis and river life for longer than most other species, acting largely as a peacekeeper among other species over the years. Sizzten muettes can typically be found sipping from water sources and synthesizing food from proteins found in the water. Although they typically have short lifespans, they reproduce frequently and in large numbers. Fully-grown muettes typically range from 7 to 9 feet tall.

#215 Zemyl

The zemyl is a small and brightly colored mammal that lives in mountain ranges. It has a penchant for collecting rocks, prefers to eat a diet of flowers and insects, and is capable of traveling at great speeds by rolling down hills. If you ever encounter a zemyl, it is advised that you shout the phrase "zemyl!" at it to ward it off, as this is the one word that zemyls are absolutely terrified of.

#169 Havough

The large havough bird towers above trees, hills, and mountains with its imposing stature. Although havoughs typically fly into outer space to hunt for food, they often prefer to relax for weeks at a time in our atmosphere between meals. Although havough aren't malicious, they are dangerous simply due to their sheer size: the wrong footstep can crush entire towns, a gust of wind from their wings can blow over structures, and the sound of their mating call can rupture eardrums from a close enough distance. For these reasons, havoughs are typically classified as a pest even though there is nothing that can be done to shoo them away.

#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.

#204 Klelag

Klelags are peaceful creatures of the southern tropical islands. They live in groups of around ten and create elaborate, beautiful nests of grass and palm fronds out at sea. Their favorite food is the silver-striped pike-perch, which they can be found fishing for in the shallows. Klelags are mostly harmless, but they do have one weird defense mechanism that they'll instinctively use if they feel threatened: They will expand the membranes of their wings and hop over their prey, painfully raking their enemy with the sharp barbs lining their wings.

#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.
