#045 Egalomo
Schools of cloud-sized egalomos float high in the sky, always in search of their next meal. To attack their prey, they swoop down from the sky and suffocate creatures by wrapping around them and constricting their jellyfish-like body. During digestion, the prey's blood courses through the egalomo's body, giving it a distinct red-purple color before it eventually returns to a fluffy white.
#062 The Acolyte
Not much is known about the acolyte, including whether it's one creature or many. However, many travelers have reported that they've witnessed the acolyte while dying in nearby deserts. The description of the experience varies wildly from person to person, but those who've lived to tell the tale all agree on one thing: the acolyte asks you in your own language to use your dying breath to explain why you should keep living. If the acolyte likes your answer, you'll breathe again.
#016 Xylach
Xylaches are sprawling reptilian creatures that tend to migrate toward popular human beaches to feed off the trash and food left behind. Although one xylach could easily match twenty or more people in power, they largely remain docile and, at most, loudly grunt towards beach-goers for scraps. Rather than trying to remove them or going to different beaches, people have largely learned to just ignore xylaches.
#032 Frestnoch
Frestnoches evolved a thick fur across their abdomen to keep them warm in the harsh northern climates and have a varying amount of large, chitinous spikes protruding from their body that they use as tools to survive in the harsh wilderness. They largely eat trees and large bushes, but they also cut down trees to make large, circular piles for their egg nests. After laying their eggs, they'll cover their nest and remain inside to produce the warmth necessary for the eggs to grow, only leaving when necessary to collect more trees for food or when threatened.
#103 Mountain Widow
The mountain widow is a spider that lives in the snowy mountains of the world. It is well adapted to the climate, as it burrows into the snow and stays underground until it is disturbed by the vibrations of footsteps. While underground, mountain widows will enter a meditative state of extreme focus where they listen to the vibrations of the mountain to "see" what creatures are moving where. For fun, they make thick webs in inactive volcanoes and calderas. When ignored, mountain widow webs typically last for centuries before erosion wears them down, often connecting multiple mountain ranges as groups of mountain widows migrate together.
#189 Stone Gool
Stone gools are incredibly powerful forest creatures with skin made of malleable stone. As they age, they grow additional sets of arms on a taller and taller frame until they max out around the same height as trees, at which point it becomes incredibly difficult for them to maneuver around the forest quickly. While they are young and smaller, however, they are extremely fast and extremely strong and have no known predators, using brute strength to take whatever they want from whoever they want.
#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.
#353 Frosthorn
Frosthorns are majestic creatures with white, shaggy fur and long, spiraling horns. They have sharp, pointed ears and a thick, curved tail that they use for balance and defense. Their eyes are a piercing blue, and they have large, powerful paws that are well-adapted for moving through snow and ice. Frosthorns are native to cold, snowy environments, such as the tundra and high mountain ranges. They are well-suited to these environments, with thick fur coats that keep them warm and feet that are adapted for walking on snow and ice. Frosthorns are herbivores, and feed on a variety of plants that grow in their cold, snowy habitats. They are also skilled hunters, and will occasionally prey on smaller animals, such as rabbits and hares. Frosthorns are known for their powerful and melodic calls, which can carry for miles across the snowy landscape. They use these calls to communicate with each other, and to defend their territory from other Frosthorns.
#300 Orimpa
Orimpas are small and fluffy creatures that resemble a cross between a squirrel and a small cat. They have large ears and a long, bushy tail, and their bodies are covered in soft, gray fur. Some regional variations also develop white or orange spots in their fur. Orimpas are extremely intelligent and have excellent memories; they also have a good sense of smell and can hear very low-frequency sounds. Orimpas are generally peaceful creatures, but are known to become very violent when threatened. They live in large groups and spend most of their time foraging for food. Their favorite food is acorns and sunflowers, which they crush on rocks to form a mixed powder that they sprinkle on other foods for flavor.
