#090 Ekkast
The ekkast is a vicious creature that moves on eight legs but can slither through loose ground like a snake, and often feasts on large mammals. While young ekkasts are small enough to use natural rock structures for protection, the adult ekkasts burrow deep into the earth and make long, winding tunnels for themselves and their large families.
#062 The Acolyte
Not much is known about the acolyte, including whether it's one creature or many. However, many travelers have reported that they've witnessed the acolyte while dying in nearby deserts. The description of the experience varies wildly from person to person, but those who've lived to tell the tale all agree on one thing: the acolyte asks you in your own language to use your dying breath to explain why you should keep living. If the acolyte likes your answer, you'll breathe again.
#106 Sidjif
The sidjif is a large, snakelike creature that is commonly used as a mount for the orcs and goblins of the world. Their massive bodies can grow up to 60 feet in length, and are powerful and muscular enough to support the weight of ten riders. They have four hearts, a large mouth, and several eyes that can be found on their head, neck, and body. They are very trusting and have been known to forge strong bonds with the riders that they are paired with. Their name comes from the sound that they make when they are pleased or hungry, which follows a short, warbling beat.
#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.
#152 Poxip
Poxips wander the deserts of the world during their remarkably-short lifetime for a creature of their size. They are covered in fluffy hair that provides shelter and warmth during the cold nights outside of their burrow. Poxips love to eat berries and fruits that grow on cacti. Poxips are also very active in the night and will run away when they see another living creature during the daylight. It is said that a poxip remembers every face it sees and will always be friendly to those who show friendliness towards it.
#208 Marvenken
Marvenkens are sea creatures that prey specifically on sailors and passengers to small- to medium-sized boats. Although they typically dwell near the bottom of whatever body of water they've called home, any time a marvenken finds something shiny along the ocean floor they will float closer to the surface in search of boats and unassuming victims. By holding the shiny object in their mouth, they'll reflect sunlight towards the boat to draw attention to itself and hold the object just beneath the surface, as if offering it to the ship's passenger. If their prey reaches into the water to grab the object, the marvenken will quickly wrap a dozen tentacled appendages around whatever they can and pull their dinner into the water, where it is quickly dragged back down into the depths and never seen again.
#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.
#355 Vilagoth
Vilagoths are an intelligent species of semi-aquatic jellies. They have large eyes and at least four tentacled arms with webbed microfingers, and they can breathe underwater for up to ten days at a time before needing to resurface. The males have small tusks that grow from their lower jaws, but the females don't have any. They are very friendly and docile creatures that like to spend their time floating around in the water and playing simple games with each other. They aren't very strong, but they are fast and can swim at speeds of up to 75 km/h. They are also quite intelligent and have been known to teach themselves how to read and write using sunken ships.
#206 Mooshan
Mooshans are large, furry animals with thick, metallic fur. They live in forests and eat mostly plants, but they also like to hunt mice and other small animals. They are extremely intelligent and can learn to speak a language other than their own. They are covered in gold-laced fur that conducts heat extremely well, making them uncomfortably hot every summer and dangerously cold every winter. For this reason, wild mooshans typically prefer more mild climates.
