#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.

#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.

#031 Hadgeit

Hadgeits are a rare, holy creature that are believed to be the physical manifestation of an ancient god of light. They are extremely rare and are typically found in the presence of other holy creatures. They have a variety of magical abilities, including the ability to create light and to heal themselves and others. When threatened, they can also use their light to blind their attackers and scurry away.

#195 Blatheraxe

Blatheraxes are shapeshifting eels that live in the deepest depths of the ocean. They are able to stretch physical appendages from their malleable body and have been known to creatively lure curious divers to their deaths. Adult blatheraxes are typically around ten feet long and will wrap themselves around their prey in a spiral, squeezing tighter and tighter until the prey is crushed. They are extremely poisonous and have been known to consume sharks and other large predators that stray too deep into the ocean.

#237 Armal phix

Strictly, the armal family of creatures are collectively results of sudden biological mutations on the common house dog after an exposure to aether mist. Although the biological change is minimal, the extreme difference in temperament and behavior has earned the armals their own classification. The phix mutation often results in a disproportionate growth of long hair from the joints and a painful extension of the skull. Armal phix are terribly aggressive and will attack anything that moves, regardless of whether it is threatening or could be eaten. The armal phix is a menace to many cities due to their quick reproduction cycle and ability to prey on small city animals for survival. If you see an armal phix anywhere near city limits, you should immediately report it to the authorities.

#307 Kubup

Kubups are brightly-colored arboreal creatures that can jump up to 100 feet high. They are an important part of forest ecosystems, as they feed on dead tree leaves and recycle them into nutrients for the trees. They typically climb to the very top of trees and sleep there, clinging to the leaves by their sharp teeth, but during stormy weather, they can sometimes be found hiding under rocks or in caves. Their fur, when rubbed on a person's skin, will cause that person to turn into a dornax if the kubup was faizen. The effects of this process are irreversible except by highly skilled magicians.

#335 Gleetaus

Gleetauses are large beasts with spiked tails and a body covered in soft, fluffy fur. They are very fast and will often chase down small game such as rabbits, squirrels, or foxes. They are generally peaceful creatures and will avoid conflict unless provoked. The gleetaus is also well-known for its ability to vertically jump up to ten feet high. As an adult, gleetaus snouts will elongate and their tails will grow significantly longer and split many times, sometimes growing as many as nine distinct tails if they grow old enough.

#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.

#096 Cerasuc

Cerasucs are large, furry mammals that live in deep caves and are often found in groups of 10 or more. They have a black coat and antlers that are prized for their ability to reflect light and light up dark spaces. They have excellent night vision and their hearing is also very acute, allowing them to sense predators from far away. They forage for mushrooms and other underground plants and make nests out of sticks and vines. These strange creatures have a stoic, aloof demeanor and very little interest in other species of animals. They are very shy and skittish creatures that go out of their way to stay away from humans, but will attack if provoked or frightened.
