A wild creature appears!

Jaxilith

Jaxilives are large shapeshifters that appear as a swarm of blue flies when dormant. When a jaxilith is threatened, it will transform into a larger worm-like creature. This njaxilith form is covered in sharp red scales and flies with a small set of translucent wings that emit a small amount of blue light. Jaxilith temperament is short and aggressive, quickly swarming and overwhelming any potential threats to their home. Nowadays, the remaining jaxilives are said to live in underground caverns, where they indiscriminately prey on anything that isn't blue.

Experimental testing of a severed jaxilith lens revealed that blue is actually the one color this small shapeshifter can't physically see.

Some cultures have historically dissolved ground Kjaxilith scales into teas as a precursory version of antidepressants.

Although the jaxilith presents itself as a swarm of flies while dormant, it's still only a single decentralized organism — and just as lonely.

#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.

#071 Banjif

Banjifs spend most of their days rolled up in balls, taking naps in the sunlight. When they're hungry, they use their incredible leg strength to leap into the sky to catch a bird in their mouth. While in ball form, a banjif is protected from most predators by their strong, chitinous shell.

#092 Arochngiap

Arochngiaps are sentient, blind masses of undeveloped meat found deep underground and in caves. They move slowly and grow random limbs, with records showing anywhere from 0-10 arms and legs. They can often be found in small pools of still water, absorbing nutrients through their skin.

#007 Merm

Merms live in small groups, typically in the deepest reaches of the western oceans. They seem closely related to a potential aquatic fork of human evolution, but scientists haven't yet developed a way to communicate with them.

#084 Hathawallow

Hathawallows are slow, bulky land walruses that choose to travel among packs of other species, forming symbiotic relationships wherever they go. The average hathawallow is incredibly smart and manipulative, often positioning itself to sacrifice those in its herd before any harm could possibly come to it. Hathawallow fur is coveted for its silky texture and warmness, and its stark, blue blubber can be used for a myriad of useful purposes. Tracking and bringing down a hathawallow is a fiscally-fruitful endeavor — as long as things go well for the hunters.

#162 Dansi

The dansi is a species of fish that can be found near the water surface in many areas of the world. They have an average length of fifteen inches and an average weight of thirty ounces. Dansis have a very flexible spine which allows them to make rapid turns and twists when trying to catch prey or avoid predators. They are typically dark yellow in color and have a large dorsal fin.

#168 Magmatuna

Magmatuna is a cursed mutation of the freshwater tuna, resulting in a scalding hot internal temperature that is immediately devastating to any aquatic ecosystem. Their molten skin causes rapid evaporation of entire lakes and rivers, completely obliterating the ecosystem and resulting in nothing but burn marks and leagues of dead fish in a dry basin. The sighting of any smoke or mass-evaporation in a body of water should be immediately reported to the nearest government body.

#311 Quammoth

The quammoth (a portmanteau of "aqua" and "mammoth" popularized by the eastern Squib coasters) is an aquatic mammoth-like mammal that calls oceanic vents home. These gigantic creatures are too large and heavy to swim; instead, they stand on four thick legs and walk along the seafloor. Quammoths offset their limited mobility by using dozens of lengthy tentacles to defend themselves, hunt small fish for food, and manipulate their environment. These tentacles have a stiff, wood-like skin that ancient Squib used to make canoes out of.

#352 Glimmerwisp

Glimmerwisps are small, fairy-like creatures with translucent, glowing wings. They have delicate, elongated features and shimmer in a variety of colors depending on their mood and surroundings. Glimmerwisps are often found in forests and meadows, where they can easily hide among the plants and flowers. They are also drawn to sources of light, such as torches and fireflies, and can often be seen flitting about in the darkness. Glimmerwisps feed on nectar and small insects, and are known for their playful and curious nature. They are also highly social creatures, often forming large communities and working together to protect their territory. Glimmerwisps have the ability to create and manipulate light, using it to communicate with each other and to create dazzling displays.
