#049 Emollo
Emollo are a race of intelligent grub-like creatures that evolved arms and legs while living in gigantic, underground cities. They stand approximately three centimeteres tall and typically live around eighty years, spending approximately half of that in their long-term school system.
#078 Etorg
Etorgs are the living skeletal remains of eternal giants. Although most have grown bored of life and live solitary lives atop mountains or in colossal underground caves, younger etorgs will sometimes adopt a city, curl up around it, and patiently watch generations of lives unfold. Etorgs also love sandwiches, which they occasionally make by uprooting entire forests to squish between two slabs of planetary crust.
#063 Buyrnwen
Buyrnwen are large snails that live for hundreds of years at a time with the ability to osmose their life force into the complicated chemical structure of their shell. After death, buyrnwen shells decompose and recombine with their body, reviving them with their stored life essence. They taste disgusting and have few predators, but those who hunt them also end up extending their own lifespan.
#147 Herling
The herling is a small bird about the size of a housecat. They are mostly harmless, but are often pests because of their tendency to steal and hoard shiny objects. A herling will take any object that catches their eye, including jewelry, coins, pencils, pens, forks, spoons, knives, scissors, and anything else they can carry. They usually hide these objects in the hollows of trees or other dark recesses of their environment. They are also known for the bright red feathers that emit a slight luminescent glow in low light.
#216 Zelorgbia
Zelorgbian creatures are relatively simple jellyfish-related invertibrates that live on the edges of the ocean. Zelorgbians come on shore to bask in the sunlight and to lay their eggs. However, they can't move on land and risk dehydration if they're beached, so they choose to stay as close to the water's edge as possible. They are very sociable and will often move in huge herds, which sometimes get swept long distances by strong ocean currents.
#229 Tehrer
The tehrer is a small, flightless bird originating from volcanic islands in the south. Tehrers are extremely fast runners and use their powerful legs to leap from tree to tree, often reaching airborne heights and speeds such that they unintentionally harm themselves among landing. Their favorite food is resin, sap, and other tree fluids, and they'll often build nests next to where such food is available. Tehrers are generally friendly, active, and playful creatures that will readily interact with humans and other small, nonthreatening animals.
#272 Gwievft
Gwievft are large, aquatic eels that are typically found in underwater mycelium caverns, although they sometimes explore more open waters. Gwievft have an extremely venomous bite that can completely paralyze dolphins, sharks, and humans within hours and lead to death shortly after. During this time, the gwievft toxin has opium-like effects in the victim that work to keep it calm and avoid struggling. Gwievft toxins have been successfully extracted by natives for use in sacrificial and ceremonial drinks for centuries, although ranching them is an extremely dangerous job.
#348 Krystalloise
This burrowing reptile calls home to deep, underground caverns. Krystalloise lack the typical claws found on other diggers, but are still capable of digging through softer grounds using a mixture of shovel-like fins and incredible strength; however, they often just live within natural caverns or those hollowed out by other creatures. Their dense, crystallized body makes them incredibly resilient to natural predators, but also makes them a high-value hunting target from humans who use their shells in jewelry. Krystalloise can often be found licking rocks and stalagmites for minerals, which their body converts to energy and sustenance.
#204 Klelag
Klelags are peaceful creatures of the southern tropical islands. They live in groups of around ten and create elaborate, beautiful nests of grass and palm fronds out at sea. Their favorite food is the silver-striped pike-perch, which they can be found fishing for in the shallows. Klelags are mostly harmless, but they do have one weird defense mechanism that they'll instinctively use if they feel threatened: They will expand the membranes of their wings and hop over their prey, painfully raking their enemy with the sharp barbs lining their wings.
