#034 Mrohl
Mrohls live in enchanted forests where they eat magic berries and hallucinogenic plants. As such, their reactions to adventurers are as predictably intense as their actions are unpredictable. Their droppings are typically made into a hallucinogenic alcohol.
#007 Merm
Merms live in small groups, typically in the deepest reaches of the western oceans. They seem closely related to a potential aquatic fork of human evolution, but scientists haven't yet developed a way to communicate with them.
#123 Fenglokam
Fenglokam are stout snake-like creatures with strong limbs, broad feet and a thick tail. They are very hardy animals that can live in virtually any environment or climate and emanate cold from their body rather than heat. Their diet consists mainly of roots, grubs, worms and small insects. They are also known for their loud mating calls that can be heard for miles, which continually screetch at the resonant frequency of packed sand.
#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.
#127 Joprao
The joprao is a flying, amphibious creature which grows to be about four meters in length. It makes its nest in the long grasses of the savanna, where it lays and incubates its eggs. In order to attract mates and protect its territory, the joprao will create long, brightly colored ribbons of hair, which it attaches to its back and chest. When a male joprao is attempting to win a female, it will flap its wings to produce a high-pitched clicking sound at a unique frequency which only their mate will hear. Although few jopraos can hear each other, they can all be heard by humans; as such, joprao mating season is enough to force almost everyone in the area away for weeks at a time.
#160 Mechacrab
Mechacrabs were ironically given their name after a sarcastic explorer discovered the species in an underground cave on a spiritual voyage deep in the far east. Mechacrabs have detachable legs and hard, modular shells that they can reconfigure and reattach new legs and hand-made appendages anywhere they need them. It is believed they are incredibly smart and inventive, but the species lacks the physiology necessary for speech or language functions and is plagued by a particularly short natural lifespan.
#184 Urk
Urks are enormous creatures that look like a cross between a turtle and a dolphin. They have strong, boney shells and powerful fins they use to propel themselves through the water. Their shells also contain thousands of chitinous pearls, and they are hunted by poachers for this reason. Hunters believe the delicious urk meat also holds restorative properties. Urks typically live for hundreds of years and only reproduce once during their lifetime.
#334 Xolgar
Xolgars are giant birds native to tropical islands. When they hunt, they will pick up a strip of bark from a tree and carry it in their beaks, which they then use to create a makeshift hardnet to trap fish in the water. Once a fish has been caught, the xolgar will fly back up to a nearby tree, unroll the bark, and eat the fish. Because of their size, most other animals in their environments leave the xolgar alone.
#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.
