Oltang

The oltang is a large, green, lizard-like creature that inhabits the swamps and wetlands of Oorzh. Being mostly aquatic, the oltang usually only comes to land when it is voluntarily wanting to shed its skin. The oltang has a long, constantly-shaking tail that produces an electrical current. When a predator or a new potential mate approaches, the oltang will raise its tail high above its head and then slam it down; if the creature is a potential mate, the electrical current will cause an explosion of green sparkles. If the creature is a predator, the shock will usually ward it off.

#089 Vieflhuse

Vieflhusen are skymantas that frequently dip below the clouds in search of food, fun, and friends. Although their eyesight is terrible, they are able to use an altered form of echolocation to sense a three-dimensional representation of the area and its inhabitants beneath them. Each Vieflhuse is able to reproduce asexually and typically carries litters of 4-8 small vieflhusen on their back after giving birth.

#100 Ignadian

The ignadians are vaguely amorphous cave toads who live in the deepest underground lakes of the world, especially near volcanos. Because they spend much of their time in a liquid state, they have developed the ability to survive at extremely high temperatures. Their core bodies are shaped like small stars and glow a brilliant orange-red. It is believed that the ignadians were the first cave toads to come into being, and that some of the first ignadians may still be alive today.

#248 Yawelt

Yawelts are small reptiles that live in hot, dry deserts. They are extremely fast and use this speed to escape from predators. When a yawelt is hungry, it will enter a trance and move in whatever direction it is facing until it finds food. Even if it is surrounded by food and water, a yawelt can continue to move for days if they aren't directly in front of food. Because of their extreme tunnel vision, several popular children's stories about focus, drive, and relaxation are based on the common yawelt.

#200 Norpin

Norpins are small, fluffy creatures that resemble a cross between a squirrel and a mouse. They have short, spindly legs and a long, windy tail, and their bodies are covered in soft, brown fur. This little creature is notable in nature for having no bones in its legs and very few bones in its body; rather than relying on a skeletal system for bodily structure, norpins have very strong muscles that hold their shape and enable an extremely wid range of movement. Norpins are also very intelligent and have excellent memories; they also have a good sense of smell and can hear very low-frequency sounds, including many of those emitted from the earth during natural geological events. Norpins are generally peaceful creatures but are known to become very violent when threatened. They live in large nests with others and spend most of their time foraging for food.

#236 Squeebl

Squeebls were first domesticated at the turn of the last century to be an aquatic pet used to symbolize world adventuring among the upper class, but have since become a popular staple in all kinds of households due to their simple care instructions, ability to survive without food, and cute size. Squeebls produce a thick, black ink that was used for maps, but can also be re-consumed by the squeebl itself to darken it's pigment; without this ink, these jelly creatures will fade into a transparent gray. Other inks, however, can transform these best-selling creatures into all kinds of vivid colors.

#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.

#318 Flyx-in-ruck

For the longest time, the flyx-in-ruck didn't have an official name, largely due to the effective camouflage and stealth techniques this snake-like reptile employs. Each flyx-in-ruck is unique, adopting a sleep pattern, hunting strategies, and food preference depending on factors in its environment. Some flyx-in-ruck migrate seasonally, and some migrate so often they may as well be called nomads. Although all flyx-in-ruck are vastly different, they do share a few common traits: they are always fast, always quiet diggers, always intelligent, and always immediately deadly to their unsuspecting prey. It is said that once you see a flyx-in-ruck, it is already too late.

#367 Skalve

The skalve is a creature shrouded in legend and mystery, revered by many as a deity in the desert yet hated by others less favored. Its powerful and majestic presence is said to radiate a divine energy, and its sharp senses and unparalleled tracking abilities have led some to believe that it has a connection to the spiritual world. Skalves have a rough, sandy coat that helps them blend in with the desert and protects them from the harsh desert sun. A skalve's powerful legs allow it to traverse the dunes with ease, and its sharp claws enable it to dig for underground sources of water and food. Despite its rugged appearance, the skalve is actually quite intelligent and has been known to form close bonds with its human companions and their descendants. They are highly loyal and protective, making them valuable assets to any who respect the desert. A skalve's diet consists primarily of small rodents and lizards, but they are also known to scavenge for scraps and other sources of nourishment. They are able to go for long periods of time without water, thanks to their ability to extract moisture from the plants and insects they consume. This water is stored in bulbous sacs on the skalve's neck. In addition to their practical uses, skalves are also prized for their beauty. Their sandy coats shimmer in the sunlight, and their bright, expressive eyes seem to glow with a mysterious inner light. It is no wonder that the skalve has become such a religious figure in many desert communities.

#378 Teshi Nurturi

The Teshi Nurturi are strange creatures that look like eggs but contain a thriving colony of pseudo bacteria. This colony is semi-sentient, and to the people of the planet Yav'Gara, the Teshi Nurturi is the perfect first pet for any child as it is simple to take care of, needing only some sugar water and a bit of dirt once a week. In Yav'Garan culture, they are seen as a symbol of growth and prosperity, and it is a common tradition to gift one to a newborn or a young child. Some families even raise a Teshi Nurturi alongside a child, believing that if both reach adulthood, they will share a deep spiritual bond. The pseudo bacteria inside the egg-like structure are special in several ways. Firstly and most usefully for the rest of the civilized galaxy, they are universally ingestible. Secondly, given an appropriate interface, the pseudo bacteria can act as a semi-stable form of biological-digital storage medium, allowing data to be stored and retrieved in a way that surpasses most synthetic storage solutions. Lastly, they never stop growing. So long as they are appropriately fed, the Teshi Nurturi will continue to expand. The capital city of Yav'Gara holds the current record with a Teshi Nurturi that is nearly sixty feet tall and weighs several thousand tons. In some rural areas, people have cultivated them into structural supports and even entire dwellings, hollowing them out while keeping the bacterial colony intact. The lifecycle of the Teshi Nurturi, when left alone in nature, is rather simple. The pseudo bacteria hatch from a strange mix of egg sack and shell and immediately start consuming any nutrients they can find. As they metabolize these nutrients, their waste products form the creature's shell. After the first six weeks of life, the Teshi Nurturi is roughly the size of a small chicken's egg. At this stage in the wild, other creatures commonly consume them. A reaction between the pseudo bacteria and digestive fluids causes the formation of a new egg sack, which is excreted, and the cycle begins anew. Several theories suggest that the pseudo bacteria that hatch are identical to the ones consumed, implying a form of biological reincarnation. Others believe the Teshi Nurturi is the longest-lived organism ever discovered, with its bacterial colony continuously regenerating over millennia. While neither theory has been definitively proven, both have passionate supporters, particularly among eco-activist and fringe scientific communities. Beyond their cultural and theoretical importance, the Teshi Nurturi has numerous scientific and technological applications. Their pseudo bacteria are a powerful probiotic, aiding digestion and immune system health across many species. Some corporations have even experimented with them as living batteries, harnessing bioelectricity generated from their metabolic processes. More controversially, they are being studied as potential medicinal treatments, as certain strains show promise in regenerating tissue and extending lifespans. Furthermore, rare specimens have exhibited unexpected mutations—such as unique shell patterns resembling text or glyphs—which have intrigued researchers at the University of Yav'Gara. In the modern world, the Teshi Nurturi is a universal food staple. Massive farms accelerate their growth using specialized fertilizers, artificial hormones, and amino acids, producing vast quantities to feed the galaxy. Chefs and culinary experts have also found that varying the nutrients provided can create Teshi Nurturi with distinct flavors, leading to gourmet variations prized in high-end restaurants. Legends speak of an ancient Teshi Nurturi hidden deep in the Yav'Garan swamps—one that has been growing for centuries and may have developed true sentience. Known as the "Great Sleeping Nurturi," it is rumored to be the size of a mountain, and some believe it is the guardian of the planet’s ecosystem. Meanwhile, reports of unusually large or strangely behaving Teshi Nurturi have led to strict planetary export regulations. Smugglers and black-market dealers often try to transport them off-world, where they are in high demand for their unique properties. The planetary government and the University of Yav'Gara ask that any anomalous behavior be reported to them immediately and any specimens that fall outside what is considered normal be returned to Yav'Gara for study.
