#057 Eowiz

At some point, a cat wandered somewhere it shouldn't and was forever changed with an infusion of magical energy. That cat's offspring were the first eowiz in history, which showed increased intelligence, stealth, and magical ability. Eowiz typically stay out of sight, preferring instead to use their wits and powers to influence the politics of small towns from the shadows in between long cat naps in the sun. However, some do choose to live with human families under the guise of being a normal cat.

#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.

#017 Dust Angel

The dust angel is a common critter in arable desert areas. Nutrients from their saliva propagates through plants into the soil, improving yield for all plants in the vicinity. They're extremely rare and expensive, but the richest farming organizations seem to have a limitless supply to use.

#199 Hæglre

Hæglres are large, flightless birds that spend most of their time scavenging for food in the snow-covered plains of the world. They are very social creatures that live in groups of up to twenty individuals. In the harsher winters, they will gather together to keep each other warm. Hæglres are also very territorial and will attack any creatures that get too close to their nest, but they live so far away from most other life that this rarely occurs.

#195 Blatheraxe

Blatheraxes are shapeshifting eels that live in the deepest depths of the ocean. They are able to stretch physical appendages from their malleable body and have been known to creatively lure curious divers to their deaths. Adult blatheraxes are typically around ten feet long and will wrap themselves around their prey in a spiral, squeezing tighter and tighter until the prey is crushed. They are extremely poisonous and have been known to consume sharks and other large predators that stray too deep into the ocean.

#241 Witango

Witango are large, sturdy crystalline beasts that spend most of their days laying down and enjoying a warm bath in temperate swampwater. They have a hard time getting out of their baths because they are so comfortable, so they employ the help of their children (witangolions) to pull them out when their bath is over. When a witango leaves their bath spot, they typically leave behind an assortment of subterrean crystals that spread from their body, which sell for large amounts to most traders.

#307 Kubup

Kubups are brightly-colored arboreal creatures that can jump up to 100 feet high. They are an important part of forest ecosystems, as they feed on dead tree leaves and recycle them into nutrients for the trees. They typically climb to the very top of trees and sleep there, clinging to the leaves by their sharp teeth, but during stormy weather, they can sometimes be found hiding under rocks or in caves. Their fur, when rubbed on a person's skin, will cause that person to turn into a dornax if the kubup was faizen. The effects of this process are irreversible except by highly skilled magicians.

#340 Skaða

The skaða are an ancient race of corrupted energy, capable of destroying entire planets in the blink of an eye. It is said that skaða lose one of their countless eyes every time they witness the death of another universe, and the Elder skaða is said to have only one eye remaining. Although skaða are capable of basic speech and throat singing, the sound they produce can only be heard by young girls. Skaða meat is a delicacy in the northernmost continent, where the once-diverse skaða populations have largely all migrated to.

#190 Mimcree

Originally from the far east, mimcrees have been domesticated and controlled by the government for centuries due to their unique ability to shapeshift into any animal within their line of sight. This replication has been confirmed to be accurate down to a molecular level and tests have shown that almost every animal cannot tell the difference between a shapeshifted mimcree and the real thing. Although most people aren't aware of mimcrees, many people see them every day at zoos, where zookeepers typically rent a herd of mimcrees from the government to stand in for rarer species the zoo could otherwise only afford one of. Public grants make the rental fees of mimcrees more accessible, but zoos that choose to rent any shapeshifters must hire an official handler to make sure they don't get loose, or else they might never be seen again.
