#018 Blaud
Blauds are tiny, goat-like creatures that can grow up to an inch tall when fully grown. Although they love the rain, it often washes them away, causing them to drown. They are extremely sensitive to the sun and will die if exposed to it for too long. To protect their small colonies from the elements and being stepped on, blauds will often burrow in the ground and sleep for several days at a time, taking turns in shared holes.
#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.
#092 Arochngiap
Arochngiaps are sentient, blind masses of undeveloped meat found deep underground and in caves. They move slowly and grow random limbs, with records showing anywhere from 0-10 arms and legs. They can often be found in small pools of still water, absorbing nutrients through their skin.
#087 Red-eyed Deepsquid
It's a rare occurrence for a red-eyed deepsquid to wash ashore, but certain coasts make a habit of it more often than others. It is unclear how the beached deepsquids we've seen have died, nor is it clear where in the deep oceans they call home. Deep-sea explorers have found no signs of them in any expedition and their origins and behaviors remain largely a mystery.
#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.
#172 Krangof
Krangofs are most notable for their pungent odor and high-pitched, loud calls. They are largely-solitary, aggressive scavengers and maim any other animal that they perceive as a threat. Their sharp teeth are formed into a single, solid, serrated blade. Krangofs are the only creature completely impervious to the venomous bite of a poxip, among many other poisons. Krangofs are very smart and sometimes work together in small groups to hunt the animals that they need to survive, although they are untrustworthy and will backstab others to gain more food for themselves after completing the hunt.
#311 Quammoth
The quammoth (a portmanteau of "aqua" and "mammoth" popularized by the eastern Squib coasters) is an aquatic mammoth-like mammal that calls oceanic vents home. These gigantic creatures are too large and heavy to swim; instead, they stand on four thick legs and walk along the seafloor. Quammoths offset their limited mobility by using dozens of lengthy tentacles to defend themselves, hunt small fish for food, and manipulate their environment. These tentacles have a stiff, wood-like skin that ancient Squib used to make canoes out of.
#267 Groxus
The groxus is the largest known insect in the world. They can grow to be 300 feet long and weigh up to 60 tons. Groxuses are nocturnal, feeding on large mammals and each other. They can be found in forests and deserts throughout the world. Because of their large size, groxi spend a lot of time hunting and will swoop down from the sky to consume entire fields worth of livestock before migrating on to new areas.
#328 Stregadurc
A stregadurc is a small creature that resembles a goblin. They are often found in suburban areas and feed on trash and other items that have been thrown away. They get their name from the strange noises they make, which sound like a combination of a scream and hiccup. Stregadurc organs are a delicacy for some Enhani tribes that live high in the mountains and keep these creatures as livestock in large, cavernous holes. Some wild stregadurcs have been seen crafting themselves basic clothing.
