A wild creature appears!

Ghiana

Ghiana are a distant aquatic relative to ancient starfish that pump electricity through their veins and filter water into liquid carbon, which they passively absorb. Although these colorful fish are known for their beauty (and weirdness), the color they appear as depends entirely on the emotional state of their viewer. Those with a clear conscious will see them as a light pink, while those with deep secrets will see a darker red or orange. In rare cases, some people claim to see ghiana of other colors; however, scientists are still unsure of how ghiana color-changing mechanisms work and what exactly dictates who sees what color.

#045 Egalomo

Schools of cloud-sized egalomos float high in the sky, always in search of their next meal. To attack their prey, they swoop down from the sky and suffocate creatures by wrapping around them and constricting their jellyfish-like body. During digestion, the prey's blood courses through the egalomo's body, giving it a distinct red-purple color before it eventually returns to a fluffy white.

#064 Ytrail

Ytrail are large snail-like creatures found in frozen areas. Their shell is an immaculate conductor of heat, which keeps their body warm on even the coldest days. Domesticated ytrails are often ridden by small children to get to and from school and their friends' houses.

#031 Hadgeit

Hadgeits are a rare, holy creature that are believed to be the physical manifestation of an ancient god of light. They are extremely rare and are typically found in the presence of other holy creatures. They have a variety of magical abilities, including the ability to create light and to heal themselves and others. When threatened, they can also use their light to blind their attackers and scurry away.

#222 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.

#194 Grock

Grocks are massive, floating creatures with huge gas pockets in their bodies. They can be found in just about every habitat, but especially in forests and swamps, where they spend their days floating and eating and whistling. As they eat more and more, their bodies will continue to grow so that they can float higher and higher. However, their stomachs are quite weak and delicate, which is why a grock will never get too close to sharp objects. Grock splatter is a well-known nuisance to anyone that frequents their habitats.

#168 Magmatuna

Magmatuna is a cursed mutation of the freshwater tuna, resulting in a scalding hot internal temperature that is immediately devastating to any aquatic ecosystem. Their molten skin causes rapid evaporation of entire lakes and rivers, completely obliterating the ecosystem and resulting in nothing but burn marks and leagues of dead fish in a dry basin. The sighting of any smoke or mass-evaporation in a body of water should be immediately reported to the nearest government body.

#330 Jibbin

Jibbins are interesting tundra-dwelling creatures best known for their rapid growth and shrinking, with their size determined almost entirely by their mood (and most recent meal). Although they generally keep a scarce diet of nuts and berries scavenged from the snow, jibbins that find themselves too excited for too long will grow to an unsustainable size for all but the most fruitful of environments. When hunting jibbins, many locals will intentionally antagonize the creature to induce rapid growth before killing it, resulting in more spoils per kill. When left alone in a calm environment, a jibbin can live up to ten years.

#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.

#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.
