#069 Seullen
Seullen are large, humanoid predators that contort their bodies into the optical illusion of a large bird to lure in and pick a fight with other large predators. Nearby villages can hear the tell-tale sounds of these fights from the haunting laughter of the seullen. It is unclear whether they simply always win these fights or if they laugh so hard regardless of outcome.
#098 Amber
Ambers are the bane of a sailor's life and have driven many towns inland, away from the waters. After emerging from most sandy shorelines at night, they sit quietly upon rocks, physically reflecting picturesque faces from your most haunting memories.
#122 Cerdathif
Cerdathifs are a colorful variant of cerdath that typically live near the base of tall mountains. They make nests with collections of hand-picked rocks and spend most of their time meditating on the nature of the universe. Their bodies are covered in a thick layer of orange fur, which protects them from the cold. They are not hostile towards other races and do not engage in violence, prefering instead to forage or go hungry.
#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.
#318 Flyx-in-ruck
For the longest time, the flyx-in-ruck didn't have an official name, largely due to the effective camouflage and stealth techniques this snake-like reptile employs. Each flyx-in-ruck is unique, adopting a sleep pattern, hunting strategies, and food preference depending on factors in its environment. Some flyx-in-ruck migrate seasonally, and some migrate so often they may as well be called nomads. Although all flyx-in-ruck are vastly different, they do share a few common traits: they are always fast, always quiet diggers, always intelligent, and always immediately deadly to their unsuspecting prey. It is said that once you see a flyx-in-ruck, it is already too late.
#347 Spectrowl
This large avian is colloquially known as the "master of camouflage" because of the hard, spectral shards that cover its body. These scales contain thousands of prisms that capture ambient light and reflect a perfect representation of an uninterrupted atmosphere, effectively rendering the spectrowl invisible at most wavelengths. Because spectrowl shards are so delicate, their system camouflage can easily be damaged or disrupted in the event of a physical injury; when this happens, they have been known to reflect laser-focused beams of light that may temporarily or permanently blind those nearby. In ancient times, spectrowl were thought to be creatures from another dimension and were purposefully injured at large gatherings to produce great spectacles of light.
#344 Gavo
Gavo are small, porcupine-like creatures from outer space. Their quills perpetually burn red-hot, which protects them from almost every predator, and their claws are perfectly evolved for digging through almost any material, which has enabled gavos to largely own the underground. Interestingly enough, it seems that gavos significantly grow in size when exposed to the sun, yet most gavos spend every free moment burrowing deeper and deeper into the planet. It is unclear what gavos eat for sustenance. Although gavos are solitary creatures, they are capable of reproducing in large numbers extremely fast if they encounter another gavo underground.
#177 Luneptera
The luneptera are a rarely-seen race of intelligent humanoid beetle that claim to be related to fairies. Not much is known about lunepteras other than recorded observations from times when they were more common to see, but it is written that their skin is covered in chitin that only reflects moonlight, making them invisible during the day (and on moon-less nights). Luneptera are a generally friendly race, although they've had some notable issues with mankind in the past. Luneptera also love stealing and wearing human hats and clothing, especially during their holiday celebrations; they seem to be particularly fond of long dresses, overcoats, and tall hats.
#183 Portal Jian
Portal jians are large, immobile creatures that grow in cultivated farmlands and exhibit a physical mystery still unexplained by science: the portal jian's body always contains at least one large hole or gateway that can be passed through for instantaneous travel to a nearby jian's portal. Scientists are unsure how this instantaneous travel works scientifically, but researchers are beginning to map out how a jian decides which other jian(s) to connect to. Because so little is known about the portal jian, the species' existence is tightly controlled and monitored by the government in secure labs; until they were confident there were no jians left in the wild, the public sector was filled with paid mercenery work to locate and capture these mysterious creatures.
