A wild creature appears!

Croixstel

Croixstel are large bull-like creatures that produce an incredibly-thick coat of fur, which simultaneously makes most croixstel completely impervious (and unaware) of any and all physical contact, but also ultimately results in an inevitable death by overheating. Upon the death of a croixstel, traders from all over the world will swoop in to claim as much croixstel fur as they can sell.

#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.

#106 Sidjif

The sidjif is a large, snakelike creature that is commonly used as a mount for the orcs and goblins of the world. Their massive bodies can grow up to 60 feet in length, and are powerful and muscular enough to support the weight of ten riders. They have four hearts, a large mouth, and several eyes that can be found on their head, neck, and body. They are very trusting and have been known to forge strong bonds with the riders that they are paired with. Their name comes from the sound that they make when they are pleased or hungry, which follows a short, warbling beat.

#104 Ayri

Ayris are large, green worms that live near shallow waters. They can grow to be up to ten feet long and weigh up to four hundred pounds. They have a mouth with a large tongue in the middle of their head, which they use to feed on small fish, crabs and other marine animals. Ayri mobility is extremely limited: they lack any bones and instead rely on a complex network of contracting muscles around their bulbous mass of body fat.

#142 Nethele

Netheles are physical-realm ghosts that are cursed to haunt cities and forests. They are not necessarily evil but are tricksy, always trying to trick the people they encounter into doing something foolish. Netheles don't have mouths, but can speak to people telepathically in a way that emulates the sound of the listener's own voice. They often play pranks on people by taking their stuff and moving it around until they get very confused, but older or more aggressive netheles occasionally resort to more harmful and ill-willed pranks and trickery.

#186 Jaunwix

The rare jaunwix is a hypermaterial metafeline whose origins are unknown. This creature's body flows like water, babbling through brooks and trickling through crevasses like a river, filling whatever space is available. This unstable shape takes the form of water for the most part, but jaunwix can also "emerge" from the water with a shape that resembles a large, black leopard or panther. Jaunwix eat vegetation and shrubs via osmosis and absorption as their liquid body passes over them. This creature also has an incredibly difficult time going uphill, but is capable of doing so given enough strength and effort.

#217 Jauxckle

The jauxckle is a small mammal that typically calls colder forests its home, but will often wander into new areas in its post-life undead state. Although jauxckles exclusively feed on berries and other vegetation during their life, they also include meat in their diet during their undeath. A chemical process occurs upon their death that continues to animate their muscular system, moving the jauxckle using muscle memory but without an associated consciousness; although dead jauxckles look alive, they are merely shadows of their former life and cannot think, sense their environment, or feel pain. A side effect of this chemical process produces a thick, chromatic goo that oozes from their pores and keeps the body supple and moisturized.

#291 Vorivo'r

The vorivo'r is a small alpine creature that lives in the snowy mountains. It is covered in burred fur, with a small round body and a large head. It is about the size of a human hand, and feeds on small insects and worms. Vorivo'rs run with a distinctive, scuttling gait that is easy to mistake for a spider. During warmer winters, vorivo'rs will burrow deep underground to hibernate. While hibernating, they snore so loudly the ground may rumble at times.

#325 Rakiviz

The rakiviz is a large bird about the size of a human. They are covered in a thick layer of white feathers and have two muscular legs, each of which has up to ten talons. The rakiviz is usually docile, but when a full moon rises, they will cease all activity and begin to slowly circle the sky. If a person or creature looks directly into the eyes of a rakiviz or sees their reflection during this time, they will become frozen in place, unable to move or think until the rakiviz stops circling. Rakiviz that venture too close to civilization are aggressively hunted down or pushed back to the wilderness to avoid these "night concerts".

#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.
