#016 Xylach

Xylaches are sprawling reptilian creatures that tend to migrate toward popular human beaches to feed off the trash and food left behind. Although one xylach could easily match twenty or more people in power, they largely remain docile and, at most, loudly grunt towards beach-goers for scraps. Rather than trying to remove them or going to different beaches, people have largely learned to just ignore xylaches.

#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.

#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.

#371 Tangleweaver

If you find this strange egg nestled in leaves in the darkest part of the forest, do not touch it. Run as far and as fast as you can. Those who come too near the tangleweaver will be entranced, and fall into a deep sleep while vines grow over their bodies, hiding what was done. When the tangleweaver hatches, it will crawl into and infect the victim, using the body as a disguise to mingle with humans. It will suck on the souls of the humans around it for years, until the day it has grown large and strong enough to break free of its human suit and begin feasting on flesh.

#131 Phembluf

Phemblufs are large, blue fish that live in the deeper, frozen parts of the northern oceans. Phemblufs average two to three feet long and have a long black, snout with a mouth full of razor-sharp teeth that can drill through ice with ease. Phembluf usually live in packs of 5 to 20, hunting and killing larger fish and aquatic mammals. They also enjoy eating seaweed and underwater plants. A chemical reaction in their blood keeps their skin in a perpetually-frozen state; however, upon death, their skin will melt and release their innards as a thick slime, which is extremely harmful to most aquatic ecosystems.

#241 Witango

Witango are large, sturdy crystalline beasts that spend most of their days laying down and enjoying a warm bath in temperate swampwater. They have a hard time getting out of their baths because they are so comfortable, so they employ the help of their children (witangolions) to pull them out when their bath is over. When a witango leaves their bath spot, they typically leave behind an assortment of subterrean crystals that spread from their body, which sell for large amounts to most traders.

#281 Mazurath

The mazurath are a class of giant serpentine creatures that have lived in the deep recesses of the ocean for millennia, if not longer. Mazurath are peaceful creatures but, due to their immense size, sailors often attack them after mistaking them for common sea monsters. Inevitably, the only sailors that live to tell the tale of such mistakes are those who the mazurath lose interest in. A fully-grown mazurath can reach a length of over thirteen thousand meters and has a thick, muscular body with fin-like protrusions, which it uses for propulsion. Although the tips of their tentacles may sometimes breach the ocean surface, mazurath rarely leave the deepest ocean depths.

#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.

#132 Aeldatyr

Aeldatyr scales are golden and shiny, and imbued with powerful magic that allows them to create lightning. They grow to be very large, roughly the size of an elephant, and their scales are capable of reflecting sunlight, which makes them appear almost as if they are on fire when exposed to direct sunlight. Aeldatyrs are a feared predator, feeding primarily on large prey such as sheep, cows, horses, and humans. It is capable of eating almost anything it can get its teeth into. Aeldatyrs live in the shallow underground, in caves and tunnels that they have made with their claws. They are not very social creatures, preferring solitude over companionship. They emerge for adventure and sport as often as they do for food. The Aeldatyr is a highly intelligent creature that can speak many languages and understand human speech. It is a very curious creature and will often spend long periods of time observing humans.
