#010 Vruntyk
Vruntyks are an ancient race of reptile that lived underground in caves for millennia before emerging and finding refuge in deserts and mountains across the globe. They're unfathomably fast and ferocious and live in gigantic, migrating communities. Their skin is as chewable as bubble gum and makes for a strong, defensive leather when tanned.
#035 Desert Decot
The desert variation is a little rarer than the common decot and typically lives in isolation in abandoned structures in the desert. Its long hair is actually paper-thin and provides shielding against the sun and sandstorms without much added warmth. They use their large claws to dice cacti into around a week's worth of meals per cactus and use their long hair to tie each piece to their body until it's eaten.
#140 Fydern
The fydern is a green creature roughly the size of a human fingernail. It has twelve short legs and two wiggling antennae, which it uses to catch microscopic bugs. Its body is covered in a thick, greasy layer of skin and fat. If a fydern is taken out of water, its legs will fold in, its antennae will become rigid, and it will quickly become a rock and die. Solid fydern are sometimes polished and sold as gemstones to those who don't know better, as they don't begin to stink until months after dying.
#211 Dromlek
Dromleks are intelligent, flightless birds that originate from a far-off galaxy where gravitational directionality frequently changes, and dromleks therefore evolved omni-directional legs to compensate for sudden directional shifts. They are able to form complex sentences, but their voices are so muffled by their many feet that they are rarely able to communicate with other animals, including other dromleks. In their free time, they enjoy making muffled music with their mouths, observing the omnidirectional growth of trees native to their planet, and going on long, difficult walks.
#305 Goursherpoid
Goursherpoids are aggressive reptiles that have large, flat sensors in their eye which allows them to see every wavelength of light. They have a long t tail that they can use defensively to whack their predators, and they have a bone behind their eyeballs that allows them to move their body in any direction. They are aggressive, but not territorial, and will often pick fights with other goursherpoids for sport. They will kill other animals for food, but not for sport. When fighting, their tail is used to grab their opponent and hold them in place and their claws are then used to tear their prey apart.
#261 Gorgaur
Gorgaurs are a species of multi-legged reptiles common to beaches and the coasts of shallower seas. They are large and aggressive, living in small groups and hoarding small, precious objects that they find. A gorgaur group will typically carve out a shared burrow to sleep in and store their found valuables in small holes within it. Gorgaurs are also very intelligent, and have been observed using tools to dig up sand and build complex sand structures.
#306 Gruntmrub
Gruntmrubs are small, furry, tree-dwelling creatures that are often mistaken for squirrels or frogs. They live in clans of several dozen, with the largest, strongest gruntmrub serving as the leader. They spend most of their day sleeping in trees, but they are excellent climbers and will sometimes leap from tree to tree to catch flying bugs. They are thought to be one of the earliest non-evolving species in the world and have relatively primitive brains.
#351 Volly
Volly are sturdy, four-legged mammals that live on lush mountaintops, peacefully grazing on grass, flowers, and small mushrooms. Centuries ago, volly were almost entirely domesticated and bred for their restorative tears; over time, however, the human race built up a resistance to the healing effects offered by volly tears. Eventually, the last domesticated volly were released back into the wild, where they seemingly all migrated to the highest altitudes to live in isolation among small familial groups. It is generally believed that the volly have evolved over time to retain their natural healing abilities, but only for use on other volly and not for the benefit of other species.
#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.
