#090 Ekkast

The ekkast is a vicious creature that moves on eight legs but can slither through loose ground like a snake, and often feasts on large mammals. While young ekkasts are small enough to use natural rock structures for protection, the adult ekkasts burrow deep into the earth and make long, winding tunnels for themselves and their large families.

#089 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.

#043 Volcrano

Every volcano has at least one volcrano maintaining it. They do their best to keep out of sight but volcranos are bulky and slow. Volcanos as a species have been fate-bound to feed the volcanic lava until the end of time in order to keep it from seeking food outside of the volcano. It's the instinct they have immediately upon birth and it's the instinct they'll still be mindlessly striving for upon their inevitable death.

#243 Banabat

Banabats are small, flying creatures of the night best known for their bright yellow coloring and unique reproduction cycle. Banabats are friendly to most species and primarily feed on tree sap by using their sharp teeth to pierce deep holes through bark. While feeding, an enzyme in their saliva mixes back into the tree, fertilizing it. After a tree is fertilized, it will start growing a patch of typically 12-14 additional banabats sprouting directly from its branches.

#153 Oskurgi

Oskurgis are frog-like creatures that make their homes in the nutrient-rich mud piles found in the swampy forests of the world. Since their skin has a weak, porous texture and is very sensitive to sunlight, oskurgis prefer to remain inside large shells for the whole of their lives. They are very easily frightened and have no defense mechanism other than to curl up into their shell and sink underwater. Although no one knows why, there are some rare flowers that only ever bloom in the presence of an oskurgi.

#229 Tehrer

The tehrer is a small, flightless bird originating from volcanic islands in the south. Tehrers are extremely fast runners and use their powerful legs to leap from tree to tree, often reaching airborne heights and speeds such that they unintentionally harm themselves among landing. Their favorite food is resin, sap, and other tree fluids, and they'll often build nests next to where such food is available. Tehrers are generally friendly, active, and playful creatures that will readily interact with humans and other small, nonthreatening animals.

#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.

#280 Kora

The kora are an aquatic species of intelligent coral common in warmer ocean climates that have historically been an enabler of oceanic human societies in areas they couldn't otherwise exist. Although kora harden into a stony toughness after death (that can be used in everything from construction to weaponry), there's also a short window after their death in which they're still soft enough to cook. Kora reproduce quickly and often, often dominating their local ecosystem. In times where there aren't enough food sources, kora can also often be found floating along the water's surface where they use a variation of photosynthesis to absorb energy from sunlight.

#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.
