A wild creature appears!

Yawelt

Yawelts are small reptiles that live in hot, dry deserts. They are extremely fast and use this speed to escape from predators. When a yawelt is hungry, it will enter a trance and move in whatever direction it is facing until it finds food. Even if it is surrounded by food and water, a yawelt can continue to move for days if they aren't directly in front of food. Because of their extreme tunnel vision, several popular children's stories about focus, drive, and relaxation are based on the common yawelt.

#067 Winter Veln

Winter velns hide from predators by appearing flat or misfigured from a clever use of optical illusion camoflage, but they're actually typically very fat creatures. They eat snow and do a sort of reverse-photosynthesis, producing energy from darkness. Because of their plumpness, veln are a prized delicacy for almost every other creature in the famined tundras they inhabit. They strictly stick to a "reproduction cycle" that occurs approximately every six years, laying anywhere from sixty to eighty eggs per nest.

#046 Camp Spirit

Camp spirits only appear in cases where a human body has been burned alive and left alone. It's unclear how they form, but scientists have narrowed it down to something in the bones reacting to long-term exposure to ashes. They were common during the witch trials and often reproduced through a method of indirect induction, wherein they'd intentionally cause mischief that led to suspicions of more witches. Camp spirits are much rarer nowadays, but not entirely extinct. They've evolved to live much longer and learned a system of governance that allows them to induce new generations through coordinated mischief and subterfuge on nearby human towns.

#222 Oltang

The oltang is a large, green, lizard-like creature that inhabits the swamps and wetlands of Oorzh. Being mostly aquatic, the oltang usually only comes to land when it is voluntarily wanting to shed its skin. The oltang has a long, constantly-shaking tail that produces an electrical current. When a predator or a new potential mate approaches, the oltang will raise its tail high above its head and then slam it down; if the creature is a potential mate, the electrical current will cause an explosion of green sparkles. If the creature is a predator, the shock will usually ward it off.

#191 Sabbi san

Sabbi san are a phylum of four-legged microscopic tardigrades first described by Austrian zoologist Robby Saab in 2195, who discovered them in a tainted cave water sample. Sabbi sans move quickly in water or on land with a gait that closely resembles that of a trotting goat, although they are also capable of supporting weight on their hind legs and walking bipedally. While sabbi sans were discovered in and often frequent wet caves, they've also been discovered in all kinds of wet climates, and even migrate through natural water cycles and rainfall.

#278 Arang'raco

The arang'raco is a large lizard native to the deepest jungles. They are known for their vibrant and colorful scales and the immense sharpness of their front teeth. The arang'raco typically uses its teeth for display and for breaking through tough fruits, but it can also use them for fighting. They typically have a calm and gentle nature, but if they feel threatened by a hostile creature, they will use their powerful legs to leap toward their enemy. An arang'raco bite is usually enough to instantly subdue most predators.

#313 Koben

Kobens are small, furry creatures that have sharpened claws and retractable spikes on their backs. They are generally non-violent and don't attack humans unless provoked. They are foragers that search for food for most of the day, but also enjoy digging holes in the ground to hide from larger predators. Koben often rub their back-spikes against tree trunks which results in deep, noticeable gashes. Male kobens develop a bright pink coloring later in life, while females may sometimes develop patches of white fur.

#319 Drontinc

Drontincs are tiny dragons which primarily communicate through telekinesis. They often get caught up in the winds and blown across the world, which makes them particularly adventurous and inquisitive for a species which has such a short lifespan. Every spring, when drontincs are newly hatched, they are sent on a quest to find their mate. It is an incredibly challenging process, as they must learn to navigate the landscape (many drontincs will get caught in storms and blown off into the ocean), but once they have found their mate, they will spend their lives together in a small home beneath the earth.

#329 Alsjepsel

The alsjepsel is a large reptile-mammal hybrid that frequents acidic swamps in the southern hemisphere. The alsjepsel were first discovered by Nin adventurers that mistook them for a demon and started a century-long crusade to wipe them out, which left a nearly extinct population. These days, alsjepsel have mostly been able to repopulate, but keep to themselves and stay far away from humans when possible. When threatened they may attack, but otherwise the alsjepsel is a generally docile herbivore.

#183 Portal Jian

Portal jians are large, immobile creatures that grow in cultivated farmlands and exhibit a physical mystery still unexplained by science: the portal jian's body always contains at least one large hole or gateway that can be passed through for instantaneous travel to a nearby jian's portal. Scientists are unsure how this instantaneous travel works scientifically, but researchers are beginning to map out how a jian decides which other jian(s) to connect to. Because so little is known about the portal jian, the species' existence is tightly controlled and monitored by the government in secure labs; until they were confident there were no jians left in the wild, the public sector was filled with paid mercenery work to locate and capture these mysterious creatures.
