Drontinc

Drontincs are tiny dragons which primarily communicate through telekinesis. They often get caught up in the winds and blown across the world, which makes them particularly adventurous and inquisitive for a species which has such a short lifespan. Every spring, when drontincs are newly hatched, they are sent on a quest to find their mate. It is an incredibly challenging process, as they must learn to navigate the landscape (many drontincs will get caught in storms and blown off into the ocean), but once they have found their mate, they will spend their lives together in a small home beneath the earth.

#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.

#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.

#102 Alale

The alale is a muscular creature the size of a human that lives in swamps and marshes. They are very territorial and will use their ability to manipulate water to create hazardous barriers to keep other animals out of their territories. Alales are capable of budding off more of themselves to keep their species alive and thrive in areas after driving all other life out.

#201 Jigbat

Jigbats are large insects that resemble blue bats. They can be found throughout the world's forests and feed on insects, small birds, and berries. They sting their prey with a powerful paralytic venom that stains the skin blue, which they often use when they are hunting together in groups of several dozen. After taking down prey for food, jigbats will often turn on each other and fight over their share, often stinging other jigbats in the process. Jigbats are immune to their own species' venom, but if a jigbat has been stung, it will become paralyzed for several days and will be unable to eat or defend itself from future attacks. During this time, they will often hide in caves or other natural openings until their strength returns.

#240 Bargrim

The bargrim is a small, nocturnal creature which is native to the forests of the world. It may look like an ordinary butterfly when it is resting, but its natural camouflage belies its fearsome nature. It has sharp teeth, tough scales, and can quickly spin a web to trap its prey. Bargrim wings are also covered in a sedative dust that they can expel with a masterful flick of the wing. Some villages make sleepytime tea with bargrim dust.

#187 Southern Bladesnake

The southern bladesnake is an aggressive snake variant originating in the deserts of Yerht. Most notable for their regenerative serum, bladesnakes intentionally sever the tails of their young and hold scavenged knives or other metal trinkets against the newborn's wound. Wounded bladesnakes secrete a natural healant that bonds their biostructure with the foreign objects, resulting in snakes that grow up with, for example, a knife for a tail. Despite their name, bladesnakes aren't typically aggressive and often bond with other metal objects, like spoons, pipes, and ancient debris and then learn to use their tails as specialized tools within their community.

#333 Gremalf

The gremalf can be found in large herds in forests, hills, and mountains. Gremalves are large, cloven-hoofed animals that are kept by many farmers for their rich, orange milk. A gremalf herd is usually led by a single dominant female known as the "queen." The queen will determine where the herd feeds and will attack and kill any other gremalves who try to assume her position.

#343 Qualya

The first record of the gargantuan qualya was recorded by scientists on a digging expedition nearly a century ago, where they reported instrument malfunctions, tremors, and fits of temporary insanity. Since then, those who have studied qualya hypothesize that this creature is capable of controlling a wide variety of other underground critters, and uses a form of shared mind to remain largely undetected by predators or inquisitive human eyes. This induction into the shared mind seems to leave many creatures with deep discolorations on their skin or cancerous tumors within, yet no autopsies have revealed a chemical or biological cause that links them directly to qualya. There is much left to be understood about this ancient behemoth.

#366 Hastdre

In the furthest reaches of the coldest tundras where visibility reaches near-zero with even your hand right in front of your face, the mechabionic hastdre dominate the area with metallic skin and no need to eat. These hastdre are able to sustain themselves with solar energy, absorbing sunlight through their fiber-optic mane and converting it into energy. Even when intense blizzards block out the sun for days or weeks at a time, hastre will enter a low-energy hibernation mode until their power source is accessible again. Hastdre are highly intelligent creatures, able to communicate with each other through electronic signals and even able to hack into electronic systems or each other. They are fiercely territorial, protecting their territory with advanced weapons systems built into their bodies. They are also known to be quite aggressive, attacking any intruders on sight. Despite their metallic exterior, hastdre are not immune to injury and must occasionally repair themselves. They have the ability to regenerate lost limbs and repair damaged areas by consuming metal and other materials to rebuild their bodies. While the hastdre are primarily solitary creatures, they do form small groups or "packs" during mating season. These groups can consist of up to 10 individuals, and the dominant hastdre will be in charge of defending the territory and leading the pack. The mating process for hastdre is quite elaborate, involving elaborate courtship rituals and displays of strength and intelligence.
