#356 Ashkmagn

There are ten known ashkmagn, and they all reside within the same volcanic cavern, which they are aggressively territorial about. This endangered species is intelligent and capable of complex speech. Although they seem to understand several human languages, there has been only one confirmed instance of an ashkmagn ever speaking to a human who lived to tell the tale.

#086 Jhinx

The noble jhinx is an ancient race of sphinx that escaped global disaster and found a new home among the deep jungles in the world, where it lived for several thousand years before being rediscovered as an entirely new species. Jhinx seem to be capable of replicating the natural sounds of any other animal it encounters and superstitious folk believe it has the ability to converse with any other animal in their own tongue, including humans. No reported human-jhinx conversation has ever been verified.

#209 Beleymer

Beleymers are enormous, leopard-like creatures that live in the swamps and marshes in the north. When they are not hunting and eating, they enjoy wallowing in mud and sleeping in the sun. Beleymers live in families and often work together to catch prey, forming long-term familial communities. Beleymer fur is extremely thick and heat-resistant, making their pelts extremely valuable to colder societies.

#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.

#181 Gigganda

Gigganda are large, mountain-dwelling mammals covered in scales and thick patches of fur, which protect them from both freezing winters and boiling summers. They patrol their mountain dutifully, keeping an inventory of which creatures are on the island and where. Those a gigganda deem "unworthy" will have their path physically blocked and be bullied off the mountain by the large beast. Prolonged exposure to giggandas' deepest growls can cause serious health problems and shaky bones syndrome.

#197 Glandrac

Glandracs are living piles of desert trash. They are the avatars of the world’s most disgusting souls, who have been reborn as living garbage. Glandracs are always scrounging for food and will sometimes go for days without finding anything to eat. When they do find food, they will devour it whole, packaging wrappers and all. They reproduce by eating an extraordinary amount of food, then defecating out a small baby glandrac, which will look exactly like a smaller version of its parent. The adult glandrac will then lead the offspring on a long trek across the desert to a new trash pile, where they will begin their new life together.

#304 Yahak

Yahaks are small and brightly colored birds. They have hearts that beat very rapidly and are able to fly extremely quickly, though sometimes they have difficulty turning when flying at their highest speeds. When they first hatch from their eggs, they are incredibly shy and will often spend several days in their nest. However, as they grow older they will become much braver and will often be found swooping around other animals, as they enjoy being around other creatures.

#316 Domestic Szon

For centuries, the nation-state of Szo have primarily fed their people with domestic szon and, in turn, fed their szon with their recently-deceased citizens. As a result, this domesticated variant of the deep-sea szon has taken on a deep symbolism for responsible population control. The domestic szon lacks the large mouth of its oceanic cousin and instead absorbs food particles through its gills, where it's filtered into the stomach. In times of crisis, Szo has been able to economically recover almost entirely from exports of an overabundance of szon.

#367 Skalve

The skalve is a creature shrouded in legend and mystery, revered by many as a deity in the desert yet hated by others less favored. Its powerful and majestic presence is said to radiate a divine energy, and its sharp senses and unparalleled tracking abilities have led some to believe that it has a connection to the spiritual world. Skalves have a rough, sandy coat that helps them blend in with the desert and protects them from the harsh desert sun. A skalve's powerful legs allow it to traverse the dunes with ease, and its sharp claws enable it to dig for underground sources of water and food. Despite its rugged appearance, the skalve is actually quite intelligent and has been known to form close bonds with its human companions and their descendants. They are highly loyal and protective, making them valuable assets to any who respect the desert. A skalve's diet consists primarily of small rodents and lizards, but they are also known to scavenge for scraps and other sources of nourishment. They are able to go for long periods of time without water, thanks to their ability to extract moisture from the plants and insects they consume. This water is stored in bulbous sacs on the skalve's neck. In addition to their practical uses, skalves are also prized for their beauty. Their sandy coats shimmer in the sunlight, and their bright, expressive eyes seem to glow with a mysterious inner light. It is no wonder that the skalve has become such a religious figure in many desert communities.
