#098 Amber
Ambers are the bane of a sailor's life and have driven many towns inland, away from the waters. After emerging from most sandy shorelines at night, they sit quietly upon rocks, physically reflecting picturesque faces from your most haunting memories.
#050 Mahaman
Mahaman that are humanoid birds that exist partially outside of time, which manifests visually with the eponymously-named phenomenon mahamans are known for: superpositions of their body in several simultaneous slices of time appear in tandem to others, which results in creatures that look blurry, morphing, and duplicated.
#376 Birbanna
The Birbanna (Avibanana mysticus) stands as a distinctive and curious fictional species, seamlessly merging the features of a flightless avian and a tropical fruit. Native to the idyllic landscapes of Fruitalis Isle, Birbannas exhibit a striking resemblance to oversized bananas, adorned in resplendent yellow plumage reminiscent of sunlit bananas. Notably, their mode of communication is a phenomenon that sets them apart - employing exclusively muffled riddles to convey their thoughts. This unique linguistic trait contributes to their aura of enigma, captivating the imagination of those fortunate enough to encounter them. As arboreal inhabitants, Birbannas fulfill a role of ecological stewardship within their verdant habitat, offering veiled insights and wisdom through their cryptic dialogues. The profound blend of whimsy and depth associated with these avian enigmas has established Fruitalis Isle as a haven where intrigue and sagacity harmonize in the form of the Birbanna.
#158 Taia
The taia is an ancient creature that has a history on this world that started long before humans. The taia appears visually as a hovering being of luminescent shadows that uproots entire trees in the vicinity to weightlessly orbit around it. As the taia continues on its eternal trek around the globe, it gently replants each tree in an ever-changing trail behind it. It is said that most trees spend about a thousand years per spot (referred to as a "tree lifetime") thanks to the taia's influence. Not much else is known about the taia or its powers.
#212 Steevlen
The steevlen is an adorable creature that lives in the forests of the world. They are small, round lion-like creatures (usually about three feet tall) that love to hug and lick. Their saliva contains a mild poison that often can be used to stun attackers. Steevlen are typically pack hunters and live in large familial groups that claim any interesting geological formations in the area as their own, where they will often keep all of their spoils.
#175 Nemmen
Nemmen are small, purple fish that frequent reefy areas and the deep sea, but are also commonly caught to resell as consumer pets. They are soft to the touch and like to be pet by their owners, unlike most other fish. When nemmen are happy, they blow small bubbles that they play with, often swimming circles around each bubble. Most nemmen live two or three years.
#227 Ganturp
Ganturps are a species of relatively large insect found in forests throughout the world. They are brightly-colored and use their wings to create unique patterns that can be seen from afar. These patterns can be used by other ganturps to determine a ganturp's age, health, and gender. A ganturp's wings can also be used to mesmerize small, simple creatures. Ganturps typically live in groups of several thousand outside of caves and hunt at night. They have been known to eat livestock and small woodland creatures.
#293 Qaral
The qaral is a species of small tree rodent that originated from the forests of the planet Kan. They are about the size of a peanut and look very similar to small mice, but they lack a tail and have short quills instead of hair. Qarals spend most of their time hopping from branch to branch in the trees and eating insects or small animals. Qarals do not have any vocal organs, so they communicate by making small hops in order to send vibrations through the air. Qarals are very social creatures and will form large groups, sometimes numbering in the hundreds. They are also capable of forming close bonds with other creatures and seem to make friends for life.
#316 Domestic Szon
For centuries, the nation-state of Szo have primarily fed their people with domestic szon and, in turn, fed their szon with their recently-deceased citizens. As a result, this domesticated variant of the deep-sea szon has taken on a deep symbolism for responsible population control. The domestic szon lacks the large mouth of its oceanic cousin and instead absorbs food particles through its gills, where it's filtered into the stomach. In times of crisis, Szo has been able to economically recover almost entirely from exports of an overabundance of szon.
