#014 Yogido
Yogidos are eastern mammoth-goat hybrids that can grow to extreme sizes. It's not uncommon for a town to collectively adopt a Yogido, which can provide substantial fur, fuel, and warmth to the town and — in the case of the most well-trained Yogidos — occasionally hunt for the town, too.
#010 Vruntyk
Vruntyks are an ancient race of reptile that lived underground in caves for millennia before emerging and finding refuge in deserts and mountains across the globe. They're unfathomably fast and ferocious and live in gigantic, migrating communities. Their skin is as chewable as bubble gum and makes for a strong, defensive leather when tanned.
#201 Jigbat
Jigbats are large insects that resemble blue bats. They can be found throughout the world's forests and feed on insects, small birds, and berries. They sting their prey with a powerful paralytic venom that stains the skin blue, which they often use when they are hunting together in groups of several dozen. After taking down prey for food, jigbats will often turn on each other and fight over their share, often stinging other jigbats in the process. Jigbats are immune to their own species' venom, but if a jigbat has been stung, it will become paralyzed for several days and will be unable to eat or defend itself from future attacks. During this time, they will often hide in caves or other natural openings until their strength returns.
#223 Flignog
Flignogs are small, furred creatures that can usually be found in trees, grasslands, and caves. They often band together in small tribes, and are known to "bray" at each other to communicate. They are omnivores and spend much time hunting small animals and gathering fruit. They have also grown to enjoy the "brayberries" of the braytree, which flignogs often collect and bury in secret troves for later.
#233 Pewarra
On the plains near the city, you can find the wingless pewarras that live in large herds, best known for their concave skeleton and recognizable gait. When threatened by a predator, pewarras will huddle together in a large circle and take turns making noises to scare the predator away. Depending on the herd and their range of possible sounds, this defense mechanism can be extremely effective — or ineffective.
#166 Zaigarch
Zaigarchs are translucent jellyfish-like creatures that live in the magma chambers of their planet. They have bioluminescent organs that allow them to be seen in the dark recesses of their native caves, and the light they emit provides ocular nutrients to the other aquatic creatures nearby. They have no natural defenses and are very easy prey for larger animals. Zaigarchs reproduce asexually while being digested in other aquatic animals' stomaches.
#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.
#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.
#361 Aparilla
Aparilla are small, translucent invertebrates from the sea, best known for the soft glow they emit on dark nights. Although they are quite tiny, only growing to about the size of a thumb, they pack quite a punch when it comes to their defense mechanisms. When threatened, they release a burst of bright light and a loud, high-pitched noise that can disorient their predators. They can also release a poisonous substance that causes a painful, burning sensation. Aparilla tend to live in large groups, known as colonies, and work together to protect and defend their territory. They are fiercely loyal to their colony, and will go to great lengths to ensure its safety. However, they can also be quite territorial, and will attack any intruders that wander too close to their home. Breeding patterns for aparillas are complex and still not fully understood by scientists. They are known to reproduce through both sexual and asexual means, with some individuals capable of producing offspring without the need for a mate. Aparillas are also known for their ability to regenerate their tentacles, which allows them to continue hunting and reproducing even after being injured. Despite their small size and seemingly fragile nature, aparillas are actually quite resilient creatures. They can withstand extreme temperature fluctuations and are able to adapt to changing environments with ease. This has allowed them to thrive in many different areas of the world, including both warm and cold climates. Overall, the aparilla is a unique and fascinating creature that continues to capture the attention of scientists and marine enthusiasts alike. Its mysterious behavior and adaptability make it an important subject of study in the field of marine biology.
