A wild creature appears!

Avahi

Not much is known about where avahis originated, but they migrate in large packs extremely quickly, typically along water-adjacent routes. Their small stature and nimble speed makes them difficult to track and their spiny exterior carapace provides an excellent defense against most would-be predators. If you see one avahi, chances are there are many more avahis nearby; they communicate quietly with hand gestures and whole-body movement.

#060 Brugnul

Brugnuls are microscopic parasites that can be found in most environments. They are commonly found in the bodies of other creatures, but can also be found on the ground, in water, and in the air. They are extremely hard to detect, and can be difficult to remove if they are located in the brain or other vital organs, where they can cause a variety of symptoms. Brugnuls are extremely resilient and almost always outlive their hosts.

#123 Fenglokam

Fenglokam are stout snake-like creatures with strong limbs, broad feet and a thick tail. They are very hardy animals that can live in virtually any environment or climate and emanate cold from their body rather than heat. Their diet consists mainly of roots, grubs, worms and small insects. They are also known for their loud mating calls that can be heard for miles, which continually screetch at the resonant frequency of packed sand.

#103 Mountain Widow

The mountain widow is a spider that lives in the snowy mountains of the world. It is well adapted to the climate, as it burrows into the snow and stays underground until it is disturbed by the vibrations of footsteps. While underground, mountain widows will enter a meditative state of extreme focus where they listen to the vibrations of the mountain to "see" what creatures are moving where. For fun, they make thick webs in inactive volcanoes and calderas. When ignored, mountain widow webs typically last for centuries before erosion wears them down, often connecting multiple mountain ranges as groups of mountain widows migrate together.

#242 Antwij

Antwij are a race of small angomites that originate from the southern deserts, but have long since migrated to a wider array of biomes after their homes became uninhabitable. Antwijes don't typically survive very long in the wild, except in the easiest of environment, because of their extremely docile nature and lack of hunting skill. Additionally, these small insects seem to have difficulty taking any food they deem belongs to someone or something else, leaving them starving even when a source of food may be nearby. In some desert societies, antwijes are renowned as ancient, holy creatures and provided a steady supply of food from the church. In these societies, it is not uncommon for these small creatures to crawl over sleeping members of the church in the night, repeatedly kissing them as a sign of thanks and good luck.

#173 Alu'fiku

Alu'fiku are reef-dwelling fish most notable for their false "dorsal eye", which remains open while they sleep to help deter smaller predators. This is particularly helpful for alu'fiku because they sleep in open waters, coasting forward as if swimming, rather than hiding somewhere safe for their sleep. This lets the alu'fiku cover vast underwater distances in their sleep and migrate from reef to reef without too much difficulty.

#277 Ka'ala'kai

Not much is currently known about the ka'ala'kai. These gigantic, green creatures seem unaffected by life in a vacuum; their systems for mobility aren't yet completely known, as they seem to be able to ignore the effects of gravity (or no gravity) at will. So far, ka'ala'kai have only been sighted and recorded via long-distance telescopes pointed at abandoned planets, moons, meteors, and comets. Most sightings have corroborated the theory that ka'ala'kai are matriarchial nomads that travel from celestial body to body with their children, and that adult ka'ala'kai separate from the pack when they have children of their own.

#290 Borkar

The borkar is a small creature that is a distant relative of canines. It is primarily nocturnal, and will often roam around in the dark on its back legs, carrying its food in its front claws. Due to its razor-sharp claws, it is a very fast runner and can climb most obstacles as easily as running along the ground. Like its canine cousins, it is a pack animal and coexists with other borkars peacefully. Borkar often wander into human settlements and live on the streets, only coming out at night to scavenge through trash for food.

#190 Mimcree

Originally from the far east, mimcrees have been domesticated and controlled by the government for centuries due to their unique ability to shapeshift into any animal within their line of sight. This replication has been confirmed to be accurate down to a molecular level and tests have shown that almost every animal cannot tell the difference between a shapeshifted mimcree and the real thing. Although most people aren't aware of mimcrees, many people see them every day at zoos, where zookeepers typically rent a herd of mimcrees from the government to stand in for rarer species the zoo could otherwise only afford one of. Public grants make the rental fees of mimcrees more accessible, but zoos that choose to rent any shapeshifters must hire an official handler to make sure they don't get loose, or else they might never be seen again.

#198 Hoomer

Hoomers are the descendants of a group of people who took part in an experiment involving transtemporal teleportation. This experiment resulted in the occupants of the teleportation chamber being displaced in time, transforming them into the hoomers. The hoomers' bodies are humanoid in shape, but they have no visible mouths, nose, or ears. Instead, they have a single eye in the center of their chests. They have arms and long antennae embedded within vents that cover them. Hoomers speak by means of complex hand gestures in a language that requires an acute understanding of spacetime and Leibniz curves.
