A wild creature appears!

Zamperk

Zamperk are large, powerful creatures related to ancient dragons, but classified as a modern hydra. They are covered in thick dragon scales made of opaque crystals and have large, razor-sharp claws and teeth. They have long, whip-like tails with an accelerated regeneration factor that often not only heals all cuts and wounds, but also spawns additional, conjoined zamperk bodies as appendages. Zamperk scales are a common medicinal component when ground up into fine powder.

Zamperks can also be found hibernating in large caves, particularly those found inset in mountainous terrain. Zamperks sometimes sleep for years at a time and are very difficult to wake up; however, whenever a zamperk awakens, they experience intense hunger and will hunt down the first living thing they see.

#030 Urryn-ast

Urryn-ast are always on the hunt for humans on the verge of death and will track their prey for days at a time. They consume deceased bodies whole and, in doing so, memorize a sequence of the consumed DNA as a part of their complex digestive process. After their feast, Urryn-ast will often shapeshift into the consumed creature and retrace their path back to others, hoping to get closer to their next meal.

#115 Nebulflat

Nebulflats are strange, half-ox, half-beetle creatures that live deep in the oceans of the planet. They are extremely inquisitive and will often crawl onto land to explore oceanside forests. Despite the fact that they seem to enjoy spending most of their time on land, they will become sick if they don't return to the ocean within a few days. Nebulflats cannot swim and instead just walk along the bottom of whatever ocean they call home.

#004 Avahi

Not much is known about where avahis originated, but they migrate in large packs extremely quickly, typically along water-adjacent routes. Their small stature and nimble speed makes them difficult to track and their spiny exterior carapace provides an excellent defense against most would-be predators. If you see one avahi, chances are there are many more avahis nearby; they communicate quietly with hand gestures and whole-body movement.

#022 Xianc'onent

Since the beginning of storytelling, sailors have told stories of horrible terrors hiding at the bottom of the oceans. These xianc'onents are said to emit a low vibration that amplifies through water and can be felt, just barely, while aboard larger ships. They usually stick primarily to the ocean floor, often living among sunken ships and wreckage, but male xianc'onents will also ascend to higher elevations during their brief mating seasons.

#099 Sneacock

Once upon a time, a snake and a peacock found a way to produce an offspring. That offspring's intimidating colors and wholly evil nature quickly made it the dominant species of its island, where it reproduced and overpopulated for centuries before a merchant's ship brought the predator to the mainland. The island is now known as Sneacock Island and it is strictly forbidden lest another devastating sneacock outbreak occur again.

#146 Forsydifs

Forsydifs are a variant of ant that has evolved to live on the backs of humanoids, from whom they eat dead skin cells. They spend most of their lives crawling between the dermis and epidermis of their hosts and are capable of surviving on just dead skin and perspiration for their entire lives. They do not harm their hosts and are considered to be beneficial as they clean the skin and help prevent infection.

#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.

#306 Gruntmrub

Gruntmrubs are small, furry, tree-dwelling creatures that are often mistaken for squirrels or frogs. They live in clans of several dozen, with the largest, strongest gruntmrub serving as the leader. They spend most of their day sleeping in trees, but they are excellent climbers and will sometimes leap from tree to tree to catch flying bugs. They are thought to be one of the earliest non-evolving species in the world and have relatively primitive brains.

#252 Vifbort

Vifborts are a species of large, seemingly-immortal worms that live deep underground. Their skin is extremely sensitive and can feel vibrations from miles away. They are endlessly hunted by other worms for food and dominance, but have no effective predators, as their skin is resistant to fire, acid, blunt force, and punctures.
