#170 Hevvet
Hevvets are intelligent, house-sized horse-like creatures that frequent the snowy tundras and far north. Hevvets were historically unfriendly creatures—aggressively attacking anyone near their homogenous cities—until a large war broke out in the region that divided up the land among the victors. Nowadays, most hevvets have integrated into human societies and the few historically-hevvet cities left might as well be human societies now, given that hevvets account for less than 1% of the population in even the densest city. It is said that there are groups of traditional hevvets still living in caves and the wilderness, scheming and plotting a golden new age for their dying race. There are rumors that a single purely-hevvet town still exists somewhere called the "Warden".
#011 Ssene
Ssenes are strange, shapeshifting creatures that configure parts of their body to mimic specific features of any creatures they see, rather than transforming into a copy of their whole body. This "bioremixing" property typically results in horrible, unnatural amalgamations depending on what creatures each ssene has seen recently.
#117 Gomligu
The gomligu is an large creature that resembles a rabbit, but with a long tail and thick, grey patches of rubbery skin. The gomligu is a rather shy and timid creature that flees readily, but they can occasionally be seen wandering about in enchanted forests on their hind legs if you're quiet enough to sneak up on one. While it's generally thought to be good luck to see a gomligu, it is strongly advised you never chase one.
#199 Hæglre
Hæglres are large, flightless birds that spend most of their time scavenging for food in the snow-covered plains of the world. They are very social creatures that live in groups of up to twenty individuals. In the harsher winters, they will gather together to keep each other warm. Hæglres are also very territorial and will attack any creatures that get too close to their nest, but they live so far away from most other life that this rarely occurs.
#224 Larroh
Larrohs are flying insects that can be found in the high mountains of the world, scaling the peaks and drinking from glacial lakes. They are extremely shy and will dissipate their bodies into water vapor and their substance into their surroundings if startled. Larrohs are considered a delicacy among the citizens of Sharr, who will scale the mountains to collect the creatures for consumption.
#182 Artik-un
Artik-un are hoofed creatures domesticated for their speed, strength, and intelligence. Artik-un have an excellent sense of balance and can leap twenty times their height in the air, where they're also capable of contorting their body in response to wind pressure to ensure they always land hooves-down. An artik-un reaches full adult development after three years and have an average lifespan of 10 to 20 years.
#187 Southern Bladesnake
The southern bladesnake is an aggressive snake variant originating in the deserts of Yerht. Most notable for their regenerative serum, bladesnakes intentionally sever the tails of their young and hold scavenged knives or other metal trinkets against the newborn's wound. Wounded bladesnakes secrete a natural healant that bonds their biostructure with the foreign objects, resulting in snakes that grow up with, for example, a knife for a tail. Despite their name, bladesnakes aren't typically aggressive and often bond with other metal objects, like spoons, pipes, and ancient debris and then learn to use their tails as specialized tools within their community.
#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.
#164 Finishi
The fabled finishi bird is most notable for its "perfect" camouflage as no living finishi has ever been sighted, even in areas estimated to be completely overrun by them based on the number of finishi carcasses found daily, such as in the titular Finishi Forest. Some small cult followings believe the finishi bird is a living embodiment of the forests they dwell in, while others see them taking a more active role as the guardian or protector of their forest. However, most are skeptical that these birds are anything more than just camouflage experts living a typical aviary life. There is also a prevailing belief among some regions that finishi don't exist at all, and that the carcasses found were simply crafted by those who "found" them, or planted there by nearby towns looking for increased tourism. Although no one is certain about what finishi birds are, where they came from, what they eat, or how they live, they are certainly birds that have swept the intrigue of the world by storm: cash prizes for sighting or live captures of finishi birds are prevalent and extremely lucrative... if possible.
