#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.
#022 Xianc'onent
Since the beginning of storytelling, sailors have told stories of horrible terrors hiding at the bottom of the oceans. These xianc'onents are said to emit a low vibration that amplifies through water and can be felt, just barely, while aboard larger ships. They usually stick primarily to the ocean floor, often living among sunken ships and wreckage, but male xianc'onents will also ascend to higher elevations during their brief mating seasons.
#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.
#017 Dust Angel
The dust angel is a common critter in arable desert areas. Nutrients from their saliva propagates through plants into the soil, improving yield for all plants in the vicinity. They're extremely rare and expensive, but the richest farming organizations seem to have a limitless supply to use.
#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.
#219 Flailx
Flailx are oddball "fish" that photosynthesize their oxygen from the sun, severely limiting the nautical areas they may call home. However, flailx are extremely adept at holding their breath for long periods of time (sometimes for days!) and will venture into the deep sea to frolick along the seafloor alongside other schools of fish. They will, however, frequently return to the surface for more air and to re-warm their bodies in the sun after spending much time submerged. It is theorized that the flailx are a "reverse-evolution" of land mammals turned nautical, and that ancient flailx had long, spider-like legs.
#278 Arang'raco
The arang'raco is a large lizard native to the deepest jungles. They are known for their vibrant and colorful scales and the immense sharpness of their front teeth. The arang'raco typically uses its teeth for display and for breaking through tough fruits, but it can also use them for fighting. They typically have a calm and gentle nature, but if they feel threatened by a hostile creature, they will use their powerful legs to leap toward their enemy. An arang'raco bite is usually enough to instantly subdue most predators.
#303 Fenngmoth
Fenngmoths are enormous moths with a wingspan of nearly 250 meters. They are strong enough to carry several tons at a time in their claws. They're able to fly very quickly for their size, and they will often swoop down to grab large animals from the ground. After catching a creature, fenngmonths store it in their devoursac until it is fully absorbed. Fenngmoths are normally only active at night. During the day, they hide in clouds.
#337 Kingfrug
The kingfrugs are large, flightless birds that live in the desert. They are mostly yellow in color with black and white markings on their wings. They have a pair of large eyes, and their beak is very wide and sharp. They have a keen sense of smell, and they can tell when it is about to rain by the change in air pressure. They are usually very quiet, but when it rains, they can be heard squawking loudly from miles away.
