#024 Gnawl
Gnawls are a small, nocturnal, mountain-dwelling species that are known for their ability to carve caves into mountains and their distinctive multi-layered teeth. They are also known for their ability to communicate with each other through a series of low-pitched moans and growls. Their diet consists of insects, small rodents, and small birds.
#073 Pinbin Snake
Pinbin snakes are totally harmless, almost-friendly creatures. They eat grass, lick rocks for fun, and rarely grow more than a foot long. Their eyes are a delicacy among the rich.
#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.
#196 Fa'gu'leyth
The monstrous fa'gu'leyth is an extradimensional parasite from an unknown source. Initial tests indicate the fa'gu'leyth is capable of infecting native plantlife (especially moss) with a hivemind-like syndrome. It has been determined that the fa'gu'leyth consciousness can perceive its surroundings from the point of view of any infected plant, and seems to also be capable of reproducing via spores emitted from the bright green moss that grows on its body. A mutated vascular system allows the fa'gu'leyth to perform an indirect form of photosynthesis via the algae that grows rampant in its cardiovascular systems.
#253 Mawtok
Mawtokes are highly territorial creatures that lurk in the oceans of the world. They are only visible when they are swimming in sunlight and can remain motionless underwater for days at a time. If they decide to attack, they will rise out of the water and dig their powerful tentacles into the ground to move, and they will drag themselves and their prey back into the ocean, even if the mawtok is several miles from the shore. Mawtokes can store a large amount of water inside a specialized sac in their abdomen that lets them breathe for up to six hours while on land.
#327 Henevaspider
Henevaspiders are small creatures about the size of a schoolbus that are found in the mountains. They have dozens of long, thin legs, which have a sticky fluid on the underside of them, allowing them to cling to even the most treacherous rocky surfaces. Their bodies are soft and fragile and are covered with tiny, thin hairs; the hairs act like a web to capture small insects and bring them to the henevaspiders' mouths. Henevaspiders usually live in small communities of about fifty of themselves and will sometimes steal and ransom the eggs of other creatures in exchange for tasty offerings.
#351 Volly
Volly are sturdy, four-legged mammals that live on lush mountaintops, peacefully grazing on grass, flowers, and small mushrooms. Centuries ago, volly were almost entirely domesticated and bred for their restorative tears; over time, however, the human race built up a resistance to the healing effects offered by volly tears. Eventually, the last domesticated volly were released back into the wild, where they seemingly all migrated to the highest altitudes to live in isolation among small familial groups. It is generally believed that the volly have evolved over time to retain their natural healing abilities, but only for use on other volly and not for the benefit of other species.
#346 An fwo dur
An fwo dur share the majority of their DNA with an extinct armadillo-like creature that used to terrorize the mountainside. Unlike their ancestors, however, an fwo dur stand upright on two legs and reach heights of over nine feet tall. These intelligent creatures tower over the more primitive species in their ecosystem, both physically and intellectually; an fwo dur often use tools, build transient infrastructure, and communicate through disjoint chromatic aberrations which can also cause confusion and dizziness in other species.
#198 Hoomer
Hoomers are the descendants of a group of people who took part in an experiment involving transtemporal teleportation. This experiment resulted in the occupants of the teleportation chamber being displaced in time, transforming them into the hoomers. The hoomers' bodies are humanoid in shape, but they have no visible mouths, nose, or ears. Instead, they have a single eye in the center of their chests. They have arms and long antennae embedded within vents that cover them. Hoomers speak by means of complex hand gestures in a language that requires an acute understanding of spacetime and Leibniz curves.
