#015 Verdebird
Weirdly, verdebirds glow a bright green color while also only being visible in the direct shadows of light passing through green-tinted glass, making it a rarity to actually observe one outside of controlled conditions. It's said that witnessing one is a terrible omen for things to come, but some groups of people worship them as a harbinger of change and carry shards of green glass with them wherever they go.
#061 Dirb
Dirbs are flightless birds that wander fields looking for seeds and other small scraps of food. Their legs are incredibly thin and often crack or break with the slightest bump or stumble, but they heal quickly. Dirb meat is bland but filling and they are easy prey for anything that's hungry.
#047 Aledharo
Aledharen are slimy, blind creatures that wander deserts in search of warm rocks to lie on, where they'll typically sunbathe for weeks at a time. When an aledharo is hungry, it'll bury its head in the dunes and extend root-like tentacles that extract nutrients and groundwater from deep in the ground. The slime aledharen uniformly secrete from their body is disgusting both in taste and smell, and is a natural predator-deterrent.
#117 Gomligu
The gomligu is an large creature that resembles a rabbit, but with a long tail and thick, grey patches of rubbery skin. The gomligu is a rather shy and timid creature that flees readily, but they can occasionally be seen wandering about in enchanted forests on their hind legs if you're quiet enough to sneak up on one. While it's generally thought to be good luck to see a gomligu, it is strongly advised you never chase one.
#240 Bargrim
The bargrim is a small, nocturnal creature which is native to the forests of the world. It may look like an ordinary butterfly when it is resting, but its natural camouflage belies its fearsome nature. It has sharp teeth, tough scales, and can quickly spin a web to trap its prey. Bargrim wings are also covered in a sedative dust that they can expel with a masterful flick of the wing. Some villages make sleepytime tea with bargrim dust.
#373 Dounreleon
The dounreleon is a large multi-legged animal similar to that of a mule, with a chameleon like ability to change its coloration depending on location, temperature, and the temperament of the dounreleon. They have a stocky build, thick horns for protection and offense, and four sets of ears underneath their horns, with one set smaller than the other and used for listening for higher frequencies. Considered to be a luxury use for transportation and cargo-carrying for the upper class of people who have managed to somewhat domesticate it, they are highly sought out for their strength and seemingly endless endurance. But that combination allows for their testy attitudes to be known at any point, which is why domestication is still not entirely complete, and many people have died at random while involved with a dounreleon. Most are aggressive, with the females more likely to cause casualties than the males, and headstrong. If it's a unique dounreleon that you seek, then good luck not dying at any given point.
#331 Vok'til
Vok'til are a rare race of reptile that can sometimes be found in dormant volcanos and other warm, cavernous mountains. Although they have small wings, they are incapable of flight; rather, they use their wings to aerodynamically change directions quickly when sprinting along the ground, and occasionally to slow their fall or glide when making large, vertical jumps along their cliffside. Vok'til have hollow, brittle bones that make them incredibly light but also fragile. Vok'til are very aggressive creatures and will chase (and attack) almost anything that moves, even if it's inedible.
#337 Kingfrug
The kingfrugs are large, flightless birds that live in the desert. They are mostly yellow in color with black and white markings on their wings. They have a pair of large eyes, and their beak is very wide and sharp. They have a keen sense of smell, and they can tell when it is about to rain by the change in air pressure. They are usually very quiet, but when it rains, they can be heard squawking loudly from miles away.
#177 Luneptera
The luneptera are a rarely-seen race of intelligent humanoid beetle that claim to be related to fairies. Not much is known about lunepteras other than recorded observations from times when they were more common to see, but it is written that their skin is covered in chitin that only reflects moonlight, making them invisible during the day (and on moon-less nights). Luneptera are a generally friendly race, although they've had some notable issues with mankind in the past. Luneptera also love stealing and wearing human hats and clothing, especially during their holiday celebrations; they seem to be particularly fond of long dresses, overcoats, and tall hats.
