#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.
#009 Rappariffian
Rappariffians have never had a confirmed sighting, but cultures throughout history have always told stories of some form of them, albeit with different names. These spectral presences weave themselves through dimensional planes, occasionally passing through our physical dimension. Stories are inconsistent on whether they're completely silent or screaming banshees.
#102 Alale
The alale is a muscular creature the size of a human that lives in swamps and marshes. They are very territorial and will use their ability to manipulate water to create hazardous barriers to keep other animals out of their territories. Alales are capable of budding off more of themselves to keep their species alive and thrive in areas after driving all other life out.
#066 Stonemaker
Stonemakers inhabit deserts, fields, and mountains. They feed largely off rock and stone, always migrating to find new flavors and consistencies. Venom injected through a stonemaker bite will also turn most organic matter into a hardened stone within a matter of minutes or hours, depending on the size and hardiness of the victim. There is no known cure for the stonemaker's turn other than a fast amputation before the venom can spread. Stonemakers often flock to the statues they make in nature, sharing their kill with others of their tribe.
#202 Fethid
Fethids are a species of large, fish-like creatures that live in the ocean. They are about two feet long and weigh about two hundred pounds. They are extremely intelligent and have evolved a complex system of language, culture, and social structure. They communicate with one another using a series of whistles and clicks that vibrate through water, which they use to convey complex ideas and emotions. They are known to be extremely peaceful and will not attack any other creature unless provoked, although they will defend themselves if necessary. Fethids have incredibly dense and strong skin that makes great armor when hunted.
#214 Ithant
Ithants are huge, crab-like creatures that can be found in the forests. The sound of their heavy footsteps is sometimes mistaken for the sound of falling trees. Ithants have six legs and are very quiet, only making loud noises when walking. Ithants are capable of running extremely long distances in a short amount of time due to their long legs, but they don't have the endurance to run for very long.
#223 Flignog
Flignogs are small, furred creatures that can usually be found in trees, grasslands, and caves. They often band together in small tribes, and are known to "bray" at each other to communicate. They are omnivores and spend much time hunting small animals and gathering fruit. They have also grown to enjoy the "brayberries" of the braytree, which flignogs often collect and bury in secret troves for later.
#280 Kora
The kora are an aquatic species of intelligent coral common in warmer ocean climates that have historically been an enabler of oceanic human societies in areas they couldn't otherwise exist. Although kora harden into a stony toughness after death (that can be used in everything from construction to weaponry), there's also a short window after their death in which they're still soft enough to cook. Kora reproduce quickly and often, often dominating their local ecosystem. In times where there aren't enough food sources, kora can also often be found floating along the water's surface where they use a variation of photosynthesis to absorb energy from sunlight.
#171 Horsnau
These radioactive snails descend from the common snail but have mutated to grow branching, interconnected shells around long, eel-like bodies. Horsnaus typically live 20-25 years and then die in their shell, which is often too intricate to be reused by another horsnau. While a horsnau shell isn't particularly hard or structurally sound, their toxic, foul-smelling meat deters most would-be predators.
