#037 Lesser Cagespider

Named after the bony appendages they use to trap live prey with on their back, the lesser cagespider is a terrifying sight to behold. Unlike their larger variants, these cagespiders are only about the size of a large oak tree. They typically prey on ogres, giants, elephants, and other larger animals.

#049 Emollo

Emollo are a race of intelligent grub-like creatures that evolved arms and legs while living in gigantic, underground cities. They stand approximately three centimeteres tall and typically live around eighty years, spending approximately half of that in their long-term school system.

#138 Glorbon

Commonly mistaken as large, black boulders, glorbons rarely ever move except to subtly shape small cavities at the base of their bulbous body. They then secrete a sweet-smelling fragrance to lure small critters into the holes, where they are quickly trapped and absorbed by the glorbon. Their extremely-slow metabolism allows glorbons to go years between meals. Although they are extremely hardy and durable, they also have no active defense mechanism and therefore fall prey to the more persistent of predators, such as humans. Glorbon chitin is often used in construction, providing great insulation and support.

#108 Nulstiver

Nulstivers are large, werecreatures that are native to ancient tundra wastelands. They are generally quite docile and tend to move extremely slowly unless provoked. Despite being quite fearsome in appearance, they are typically quite friendly, often bringing the young children of nearby villages any inedible trinkets they find in the wild. Nulstivers tend to live in large groups, with a single alpha male and female leading the pack. Each nulstiver is responsible for helping raise the young of the pack in a similar way to a wolf pack or a pride of lions. While other types of werecreatures are typically solitary hunters, nulstivers will usually work together to catch large prey animals. The two most prominent features of a nulstiver are their jaws, which are lined with sharp teeth, and their thick, bony, shield-like scales that cover the top of their head and the majority of their back.

#128 Sprindull

Sprindulls are extremely large, short-haired bears that live extraordinarily long lives in the deserts with no known predators. Their intelligence level has been measured as slightly above human level and older sprindulls have shown an innate capability for understanding human language, although they don't have the vocal chords necessary to formulate their own human speech. Desert towns will often adopt a sprindull of their own as a kind of mascot, forming a symbiotic relationship between the town and the bear.

#244 Angelsilk

The angelsilk jellyfish floats through the air on a cloth-like fabric made of the protein chains they produce for skin. Angelsilk are also known as ballgown angels to those who live near enough to the coast to see them. It is not uncommon for these jellyfish to grow long, elegant strips of material that float elegantly through the water as they move, sometimes reaching five or six feet long. These jellyfish do not sting.

#373 Dounreleon

The dounreleon is a large multi-legged animal similar to that of a mule, with a chameleon like ability to change its coloration depending on location, temperature, and the temperament of the dounreleon. They have a stocky build, thick horns for protection and offense, and four sets of ears underneath their horns, with one set smaller than the other and used for listening for higher frequencies. Considered to be a luxury use for transportation and cargo-carrying for the upper class of people who have managed to somewhat domesticate it, they are highly sought out for their strength and seemingly endless endurance. But that combination allows for their testy attitudes to be known at any point, which is why domestication is still not entirely complete, and many people have died at random while involved with a dounreleon. Most are aggressive, with the females more likely to cause casualties than the males, and headstrong. If it's a unique dounreleon that you seek, then good luck not dying at any given point.

#273 Jideoray

Jideorays are a parasitic orange slime common in the warmer oceans that attaches itself to creatures to feed directly on their skin. Small fish will sometimes allow members of their school to host jideorays, as the toxic pheremone they produce also wards off most predators. Jideorays have a hard time keeping their host alive for long periods of time, but extend their lifespan somewhat by completely covering their eaten flesh with a bright orange jelly. In rare cases, some animals may find themselves completely enveloped by this orange slime while still alive. At this point the jideoray will often assume complete muscular control over the creature for the rest of its life.

#360 Jadyx

Jadyx are large, flightless birds whose metallic scales shimmer brightly in the moonlight, giving them a truly mesmerizing appearance. They are native to the dense, humid rainforests of the far south, where they can often be found foraging for fruit and small insects among the lush vegetation. Despite their impressive size, Jadyx are generally quite docile and peaceful creatures, preferring to avoid conflict whenever possible. However, they are fiercely protective of their young and will not hesitate to defend them if they feel threatened. In terms of ecology, Jadyx play a vital role in their ecosystem as seed dispersers, spreading the seeds of the fruit they eat throughout the rainforest. They are also an important food source for larger predatory animals, such as jaguars and pumas. Overall, the Jadyx are a vital part of the delicate balance of life in the southern rainforests.
