#024 Gnawl
Gnawls are a small, nocturnal, mountain-dwelling species that are known for their ability to carve caves into mountains and their distinctive multi-layered teeth. They are also known for their ability to communicate with each other through a series of low-pitched moans and growls. Their diet consists of insects, small rodents, and small birds.
#029 Chreish
Chreish are sprawling, shapeless creatures that lack the traditional skin and body of most creatures. Instead, they grow long, entwined limbs of pure hair which act like roots to leech nutrients from the plants and soil they crawl over. They shed a lot of hair when moving and are generally seen as pests outside of the coldest climates, where their hair is a more precious resource.
#148 Dacagoth
Dacagoths are small, fluffy mushroom-like creatures that live in grottos and caves. They are about the size of a human thumb and are typically a light shade of gray. They spend most of their time sleeping and eating the rocks and fungus of the caverns they inhabit. After several years, they reach maturity and gain the ability to shed their sentience and become a regular mushroom.
#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.
#141 Wartbug
The large wartbug is native to warmer forests on southern coasts, but has slowly spread throughout the continents over the years. They are about as large as a dog and primarily feed on berries and small forest-dwelling rodents. Wartbug shells are renowned for their durability and often sell for a high price. When a Wartbug is threatened in the wild, they will dig their feet into the ground to anchor themselves in place and then hide within their shell; predators will eventually give up versus their inpenetrable shell, but hunters and merchants will typically just cut off the wartbug's legs and haul the large body back to civilization.
#214 Ithant
Ithants are huge, crab-like creatures that can be found in the forests. The sound of their heavy footsteps is sometimes mistaken for the sound of falling trees. Ithants have six legs and are very quiet, only making loud noises when walking. Ithants are capable of running extremely long distances in a short amount of time due to their long legs, but they don't have the endurance to run for very long.
#181 Gigganda
Gigganda are large, mountain-dwelling mammals covered in scales and thick patches of fur, which protect them from both freezing winters and boiling summers. They patrol their mountain dutifully, keeping an inventory of which creatures are on the island and where. Those a gigganda deem "unworthy" will have their path physically blocked and be bullied off the mountain by the large beast. Prolonged exposure to giggandas' deepest growls can cause serious health problems and shaky bones syndrome.
#156 Salnodist
Salnodists are water-dwelling reptiles that hunt by inching slowly towards their prey and trapping them in their mouths before they can escape. The lower jaw is supported by a flexible bone that allows for a larger mouth. They have no eyes, and instead rely on smell to locate prey. This sense of smell is quite good, and they can detect a fish from at least a mile away. Their teeth are blunt, and they are incapable of chewing, so they must swallow their food whole. They have no predators, as their tough skin is almost impossible to puncture, and it is often covered in algae that make the salnodist much less appetizing. Salnodists can grow to be over eight feet long and weigh more than two thousand pounds.
#276 Vuvegge
Vuvegges are small insects common to forests and jungles that don't develop a sense of sight until a late stage of life. During their early "formative" years, vuvegges use their large eyeballs as sacs to store additional food or resources. Vuvegge packs are instantly recognizable by a unique hand-holding phenomenon. Elder vuvegges will lead familial packs using their developed eyesight while younger vuvegges will often specialize in collecting specific resources, storing as much as they can so they can provide to anyone in the group when needed. Even when passing resources between the pack, vuvegges will rarely unlink their hands and instead use an auxillary appendage to pass resources around the pack. Vuvegge packs move in perfect lockstep and are largely considered pests by human settlements, even though vuvegge are nocturnal herbivores that typically keep to themselves.
