#103 Mountain Widow

The mountain widow is a spider that lives in the snowy mountains of the world. It is well adapted to the climate, as it burrows into the snow and stays underground until it is disturbed by the vibrations of footsteps. While underground, mountain widows will enter a meditative state of extreme focus where they listen to the vibrations of the mountain to "see" what creatures are moving where. For fun, they make thick webs in inactive volcanoes and calderas. When ignored, mountain widow webs typically last for centuries before erosion wears them down, often connecting multiple mountain ranges as groups of mountain widows migrate together.

#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.

#222 Oltang

The oltang is a large, green, lizard-like creature that inhabits the swamps and wetlands of Oorzh. Being mostly aquatic, the oltang usually only comes to land when it is voluntarily wanting to shed its skin. The oltang has a long, constantly-shaking tail that produces an electrical current. When a predator or a new potential mate approaches, the oltang will raise its tail high above its head and then slam it down; if the creature is a potential mate, the electrical current will cause an explosion of green sparkles. If the creature is a predator, the shock will usually ward it off.

#246 Syphunn

The syphunn is an ancient shadow creature only visible on moon-less nights. These dark mammals are covered in greasy, black fur and have a long snout they use for eating. Syphunn are capable of moving incredibly quickly while remaining entirely silent aside from their raspy breathing. Although syphunns are typically spotted alone, these creatures often live and migrate within large familial units, often spanning dozens of generations.

#305 Goursherpoid

Goursherpoids are aggressive reptiles that have large, flat sensors in their eye which allows them to see every wavelength of light. They have a long t tail that they can use defensively to whack their predators, and they have a bone behind their eyeballs that allows them to move their body in any direction. They are aggressive, but not territorial, and will often pick fights with other goursherpoids for sport. They will kill other animals for food, but not for sport. When fighting, their tail is used to grab their opponent and hold them in place and their claws are then used to tear their prey apart.

#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.

#285 Vcunkrx

The behemoth vcunkrx are the center of the desert ecosystem, or at least the top of it. Vcunkrx are extremely resilient to both internal and external threats and can survive for years without water or food, instead drawing their energy from the ambient heat of the desert and the kinetic energy of compacted sand. Unlike most other organisms, vcunkrx aren't a carbon-based life-form; rather, their underlying genetic composition consists of a material similar to ceramics, which is believed to have resulted in their solid, hard bodies. Vcunkrx horns are worth a fortune to poachers, but are almost impossible to acquire.

#328 Stregadurc

A stregadurc is a small creature that resembles a goblin. They are often found in suburban areas and feed on trash and other items that have been thrown away. They get their name from the strange noises they make, which sound like a combination of a scream and hiccup. Stregadurc organs are a delicacy for some Enhani tribes that live high in the mountains and keep these creatures as livestock in large, cavernous holes. Some wild stregadurcs have been seen crafting themselves basic clothing.

#350 Ddeinn

The ddeinn roams swamps and lava fields looking for fresh meat in an endless pursuit of food. Although ddeinns are strict carnivores, they have no preference on what meat they eat, often resorting to cannibalism or rotten meat when alternatives are scarce. Ddeinn's powerful wings allow them to traverse long distances quickly; whether they're swooping in from miles above or charging along the ground, there are few creatures that can escape this predator's razor-sharp, hungry maw. Ddeinn emit so much heat from their body that they can cook meat by sleeping on it, but this vast energy exodus is also what requires them to constantly be on the hunt for more, more, more.
