A wild creature appears!

Vieflhuse

Vieflhusen are skymantas that frequently dip below the clouds in search of food, fun, and friends. Although their eyesight is terrible, they are able to use an altered form of echolocation to sense a three-dimensional representation of the area and its inhabitants beneath them. Each Vieflhuse is able to reproduce asexually and typically carries litters of 4-8 small vieflhusen on their back after giving birth.

#211 Dromlek

Dromleks are intelligent, flightless birds that originate from a far-off galaxy where gravitational directionality frequently changes, and dromleks therefore evolved omni-directional legs to compensate for sudden directional shifts. They are able to form complex sentences, but their voices are so muffled by their many feet that they are rarely able to communicate with other animals, including other dromleks. In their free time, they enjoy making muffled music with their mouths, observing the omnidirectional growth of trees native to their planet, and going on long, difficult walks.

#228 Agriot

Agriots are long, thin beetles with bright orange wings. They are primarily nocturnal, and spend their days sleeping in the hot desert sands; they will spend the night flying and catching insects in their long, thin pincers. Agriots tend to live by themselves, but will gather together in groups of up to three to eat a larger meal. Sharing a meal in this way seems to create a bond that precludes any aggression between those agriots from that point onward.

#195 Blatheraxe

Blatheraxes are shapeshifting eels that live in the deepest depths of the ocean. They are able to stretch physical appendages from their malleable body and have been known to creatively lure curious divers to their deaths. Adult blatheraxes are typically around ten feet long and will wrap themselves around their prey in a spiral, squeezing tighter and tighter until the prey is crushed. They are extremely poisonous and have been known to consume sharks and other large predators that stray too deep into the ocean.

#283 Dukrok

Dukroks are desert-dwelling birds that come in brown, black, and grey variants. They have long, thin legs and use their beaks like pickaxes to mine for insects in the sand. The dukrok will sometimes bury itself in the sand and wait for prey to come near before leaping up and spearing it with its beak. In some rare circumstances, dukroks will migrate to slightly cooler areas of plains or forests; seeing a dukrok outside of a desert is a good omen.

#192 Crindelino

Crindelino (meaning "giant armored ones" in an ancient script) are New World placental cold-blooded mammals. Crindelinos live isolated lives in the hottest deserts for long lifespans currently estimated to be over two thousand years long. Crindelinos are characterized by a leathery armor shell and long, sharp claws at the end of even longer arms. They have long legs, but are incredibly inflexible creatures, which impedes their mobility and speed. Newborn crindelinos typically measure between five and six feet tall, yet older crindelinos can grow to be over six hundred feet tall. Although they would be extremely capable predators, crindelinos frequently roll up into an armored ball whenever they are threatened by a predator, big or small.

#304 Yahak

Yahaks are small and brightly colored birds. They have hearts that beat very rapidly and are able to fly extremely quickly, though sometimes they have difficulty turning when flying at their highest speeds. When they first hatch from their eggs, they are incredibly shy and will often spend several days in their nest. However, as they grow older they will become much braver and will often be found swooping around other animals, as they enjoy being around other creatures.

#271 Frost Skrayll

Frost skrayll genetically diverged from the common skrayll during the Great Frosting, where their highly-malleable bodies adapted to changing weather conditions. Frost skrayll secrete a slimy substance that freezes instantly when exposed to air, which the frost skrayll uses to manage their internal temperature. In general, frost skrayll have also learned to use this mutation for increased mobility, allowing them to scale glaciers, burrow through hard ice, or create temporary land bridges.

#294 Qing'chi

Legends of the old qing'chi depict them as peaceful, fast, and incredibly intelligent. Although they were physically disproportioned by most standards, it's widely believed that their large head was the precursor to developing multiple interspecies languages and a strategic awareness of their surroundings that made them untouchable to all but the most potent predators. While qing'chi are capable of running faster than the wind, they prefer to use their wits and predict predator movement ahead of time, so they never find themselves needing to run in the first place. The qing'chi weren't recorded as an endangered species before they all suddenly disappeared. Zoologists today theorize they may have migrated to lands yet unseen by man's eye.

#367 Skalve

The skalve is a creature shrouded in legend and mystery, revered by many as a deity in the desert yet hated by others less favored. Its powerful and majestic presence is said to radiate a divine energy, and its sharp senses and unparalleled tracking abilities have led some to believe that it has a connection to the spiritual world. Skalves have a rough, sandy coat that helps them blend in with the desert and protects them from the harsh desert sun. A skalve's powerful legs allow it to traverse the dunes with ease, and its sharp claws enable it to dig for underground sources of water and food. Despite its rugged appearance, the skalve is actually quite intelligent and has been known to form close bonds with its human companions and their descendants. They are highly loyal and protective, making them valuable assets to any who respect the desert. A skalve's diet consists primarily of small rodents and lizards, but they are also known to scavenge for scraps and other sources of nourishment. They are able to go for long periods of time without water, thanks to their ability to extract moisture from the plants and insects they consume. This water is stored in bulbous sacs on the skalve's neck. In addition to their practical uses, skalves are also prized for their beauty. Their sandy coats shimmer in the sunlight, and their bright, expressive eyes seem to glow with a mysterious inner light. It is no wonder that the skalve has become such a religious figure in many desert communities.
