#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.
#138 Glorbon
Commonly mistaken as large, black boulders, glorbons rarely ever move except to subtly shape small cavities at the base of their bulbous body. They then secrete a sweet-smelling fragrance to lure small critters into the holes, where they are quickly trapped and absorbed by the glorbon. Their extremely-slow metabolism allows glorbons to go years between meals. Although they are extremely hardy and durable, they also have no active defense mechanism and therefore fall prey to the more persistent of predators, such as humans. Glorbon chitin is often used in construction, providing great insulation and support.
#110 Klaxon
Klaxons are large, predatory creatures originally from the planet Xaphon. They are very intelligent and have developed an advanced society which has mastered interstellar travel and can be found on many planets in the galaxy. They have a strong belief in an afterlife, and as such, put a lot of emphasis on the importance of leaving a good legacy behind. They are very sensitive creatures and have been known to go into long bouts of depression over seemingly trivial things.
#165 Shaleel
The shaleel is a large, multi-colored reptile that inhabits the swamps and wetlands of Oorzh. Being mostly aquatic, the shaleel usually only comes to land when it is voluntarily wanting to shed its skin. Shaleels have a long, constantly-tapping tail that produces an electrical current that they use to incapacitate fish while hunting. When a predator or a new potential mate approaches, the shaleel will raise its tail high above its head and then slam it down; if the creature is a potential mate, the electrical current will cause an explosion of green sparkles that attracts the mate. If the creature is a predator, the explosion will usually ward it off.
#254 Boolic
Boolics are placid snail-like creatures that spend most of their days crawling in circles through the grass, slowly grazing and depositing their helmet-like shells in a community pile as they grow. In the night they retreat into their shells and begin to dream of their perfect life, a life arranged to the precise specifications of their shell’s dimensions. If this perfect life is disrupted by a predator, the boolic will summon a powerful blast of focused light that will blind the intruder and force them to flee.
#286 Zuggar
Zuggars are enormous, tentacled abominations from an unknown origin. Zuggars survive by scooping up giant mountains and slowly digesting the rock formations. After a zuggar finishes eating, it floats to the next mountain and begins the process again. Zuggars have been known to destroy entire continents in their lifetimes and are theorized to be capable of devouring entire planets.
#322 Ungarmel
When a creature is near, an ungarmel on the prowl will curl up in a ball and hover above the ground, doing its best to blend in with the environment in order to catch its prey unaware. When the time is right, the ungarmel will attack by releasing the creature inside it that drinks blood. After a successful hunt, the creature returns and eventually shares its spoils from inside the ungarmel.
#347 Spectrowl
This large avian is colloquially known as the "master of camouflage" because of the hard, spectral shards that cover its body. These scales contain thousands of prisms that capture ambient light and reflect a perfect representation of an uninterrupted atmosphere, effectively rendering the spectrowl invisible at most wavelengths. Because spectrowl shards are so delicate, their system camouflage can easily be damaged or disrupted in the event of a physical injury; when this happens, they have been known to reflect laser-focused beams of light that may temporarily or permanently blind those nearby. In ancient times, spectrowl were thought to be creatures from another dimension and were purposefully injured at large gatherings to produce great spectacles of light.
#279 Musrusqua
Musrusquas are small, intelligent mammals slightly resembling molerats who live in and under forests. Musrusqua skin is made of a durable chitin scaling that make them incredibly resilient to predators. These small creatures are best known by adventurers and travelers who frequent the publicweald, where they routinely yell at human passerbys in their harsh, squealing language. Underground, musrusquas are unrivaled in speed; their long, sharp claws can pierce through hard stone as easily as they can dig through dirt.
