#076 Hifinginn

Although the celestial cataclysm was a great catastrophe, it did introduce us to the Hifinginn and their universes—and consequently pushed forward our technology, biology, medicine, and understanding of the cosmos at least a century forward. The Hifinginn body is composed of veons instead of atoms, which is believed to be the reason why they largely ignore our universal rules of physics.

#148 Dacagoth

Dacagoths are small, fluffy mushroom-like creatures that live in grottos and caves. They are about the size of a human thumb and are typically a light shade of gray. They spend most of their time sleeping and eating the rocks and fungus of the caverns they inhabit. After several years, they reach maturity and gain the ability to shed their sentience and become a regular mushroom.

#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.

#236 Squeebl

Squeebls were first domesticated at the turn of the last century to be an aquatic pet used to symbolize world adventuring among the upper class, but have since become a popular staple in all kinds of households due to their simple care instructions, ability to survive without food, and cute size. Squeebls produce a thick, black ink that was used for maps, but can also be re-consumed by the squeebl itself to darken it's pigment; without this ink, these jelly creatures will fade into a transparent gray. Other inks, however, can transform these best-selling creatures into all kinds of vivid colors.

#334 Xolgar

Xolgars are giant birds native to tropical islands. When they hunt, they will pick up a strip of bark from a tree and carry it in their beaks, which they then use to create a makeshift hardnet to trap fish in the water. Once a fish has been caught, the xolgar will fly back up to a nearby tree, unroll the bark, and eat the fish. Because of their size, most other animals in their environments leave the xolgar alone.

#358 Mollang

Mollang are small marsupials often found throughout wetlands and jungles. They live long lives despite the poisonous fungus that commonly grows on their short fur, which also protects them from most predators thanks to the highly-contagious nature of the fungi's toxins. However, these same toxins keep the mollang in a perpetually semi-sick state where they constantly sneeze and leak fluids that can cause physical damage to trees, brush, and other animals. Although each mollang builds up a small tolerance to their own fur's toxins, they rarely spend enough time with other mollang to expand that protection; therefore, mollang often live long, solitary, sickly lives and are actively avoided by nearly all other life that may cross their path.

#120 Cuuyn

A cuuyn is a strange, slow-moving creature that can only survive in areas where the air contains a certain, top-secret compound. A cuuyn's lifespan is directly correlated with the density of the compound it breathes: the denser, the longer the cuuyn will live, with no documented upper limit. As a cuuyn ages, its bodily cycles speed up exponentially, significantly increasing its metabolism, gestation period, and immune systems. It is widely believed that cuuyns were artificially created for government animal testing, but no one has ever found proof.

#296 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.

#363 Wrappit

Meet the wrappit! These mischievous creatures are often found traveling by hitching rides on discarded wrapping paper or nestled inside gifts. With their small, gremlin-like bodies and scruffy fur, wrappits are sure to make a memorable impression to those who least expect them. Although they may look cute and cuddly, wrappits are known for their love of chaos and mischief. They have a particular fondness for shredding paper, whether it's the wrapping paper from a present or important documents left lying around. They particularly like paper that has been written on, and even moreso like paper which contains written fiction or worldbuilding. One fun detail about wrappits is their love of practical jokes. They have been known to hide in cupboards and jump out to surprise unsuspecting passersby, to switch the contents of gift boxes, to steal cookies and other treats, or to rearrange decorations in the dead of night. As for their diet, wrappits are known to munch on bits of paper and ribbon with their cookies, as well as the occasional piece of fruit or veggie. They have a particular fondness for pine cones and holly berries. But don't let their mischievous nature fool you — wrappits are also fiercely loyal friends. They have a special bond with those who show them kindness and respect, and will go out of their way to bring joy and laughter to their human companions.
