#020 Starbug
Fully-grown starbugs make up the majority of visible lights in the night sky with their planet-sized bodies, but baby starbugs hatch and spend most of their pre-celestial life on abandoned planets until they learn to fly well enough to pierce gravity wells. When their eggs are laid in space, they are made of one of the strongest materials known to man. They drift endlessly, often for centuries, until they find a planet with sufficient gravitational pull to draw them into its atmosphere. The meteoric impact is what cracks the shell and releases a newborn starbug.
#076 Hifinginn
Although the celestial cataclysm was a great catastrophe, it did introduce us to the Hifinginn and their universes—and consequently pushed forward our technology, biology, medicine, and understanding of the cosmos at least a century forward. The Hifinginn body is composed of veons instead of atoms, which is believed to be the reason why they largely ignore our universal rules of physics.
#122 Cerdathif
Cerdathifs are a colorful variant of cerdath that typically live near the base of tall mountains. They make nests with collections of hand-picked rocks and spend most of their time meditating on the nature of the universe. Their bodies are covered in a thick layer of orange fur, which protects them from the cold. They are not hostile towards other races and do not engage in violence, prefering instead to forage or go hungry.
#130 Sylveph
Sylvephs are loud, obnoxious sheep with fine, silk fur. Farmers despise their constant bleeting and the incredible mess they make in the field. Although they slowly produce silver thread, their spoils must be thoroughly washed and disinfected to prepare them for use. Sylvephs prefer to eat mushrooms and rotting biomass.
#100 Ignadian
The ignadians are vaguely amorphous cave toads who live in the deepest underground lakes of the world, especially near volcanos. Because they spend much of their time in a liquid state, they have developed the ability to survive at extremely high temperatures. Their core bodies are shaped like small stars and glow a brilliant orange-red. It is believed that the ignadians were the first cave toads to come into being, and that some of the first ignadians may still be alive today.
#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.
#145 Starsquid
Starsquid are the only known creatures that live in the upper exosphere. They are translucent floating jellyfish that hunt on moonless nights by using their bioluminescence. When dawn comes, they ascend back into the heavens to spend the day resting and digesting. Starsquids are said to be ancient and wise, and are responsible for inspiring mankind's first attempts at flight. According to mythology, they originated as energy life forms in the early days of the universe and slowly drifted through space until being captured in our planet's gravity well.
#317 Gurdigoot
A gurdigoot is a small, scaly creature that has two eyes, two forelegs, and a long tongue. It is generally not very intelligent, but it is capable of rudimentary speech and is able to understand basic commands from humans. It lives in small groups of about ten gurdigoots and forages for food in the forests during the day. It returns to its hidden nest at dusk and will sleep until dawn. It has a strong sense of smell and can often be found hunting down large animals, such as elk or moose.
#352 Glimmerwisp
Glimmerwisps are small, fairy-like creatures with translucent, glowing wings. They have delicate, elongated features and shimmer in a variety of colors depending on their mood and surroundings. Glimmerwisps are often found in forests and meadows, where they can easily hide among the plants and flowers. They are also drawn to sources of light, such as torches and fireflies, and can often be seen flitting about in the darkness. Glimmerwisps feed on nectar and small insects, and are known for their playful and curious nature. They are also highly social creatures, often forming large communities and working together to protect their territory. Glimmerwisps have the ability to create and manipulate light, using it to communicate with each other and to create dazzling displays.
