#038 Gyrom

Gyroms are genetically-engineered giraffe variants that not only have significantly more fat and muscle, but also produce a thin protein film on their skin that absorbs back into the meat to ultimately provide more than double the protein per pound of meat compared to traditional meat competitors. Flocks of gyrom are kept in densely-packed, travel-ready "meat box" cages that take advantage of the gyrom's intentionally-designed height and slimness by lining the tall cage's ceiling with a universally-available feeder. In long-term storage, cages are typically stacked vertically with special biomech attachments that recycle food for lower cages from the excrement of upper cages.

#032 Frestnoch

Frestnoches evolved a thick fur across their abdomen to keep them warm in the harsh northern climates and have a varying amount of large, chitinous spikes protruding from their body that they use as tools to survive in the harsh wilderness. They largely eat trees and large bushes, but they also cut down trees to make large, circular piles for their egg nests. After laying their eggs, they'll cover their nest and remain inside to produce the warmth necessary for the eggs to grow, only leaving when necessary to collect more trees for food or when threatened.

#239 Fyrial

The brilliant fire of a fyrial's eyes can be seen for miles and are the source behind many religious stories originating in ancient deserts. Although they are typically solitary creatures, they will sometimes come together in pairs or small groups to feed on a massive kill, earning goodwill within their local community. When a fyrial dies, its body is consumed in a violent explosion that burns it to ashes.

#225 Astorvega

An astorvega is a slow, lumbering creature covered in a thick, brown fur. It is roughly the same size as a bear and has large, powerful claws on its forelimbs that help it dig through snow or into small holes to sleep. The astorvega is a solitary creature, moving slowly across the tundra and frozen plains, munching on grasses and shrubs. Although they typically live around 100 years, their maximum lifespan is thought to be at least a thousand years in ideal conditions. They are extremely docile creatures given their size, usually only retaliating if threatened. Astorvegas leave behind mounds of shedded fur any time the temperature rises even a little bit.

#260 Bulthoid

Bulthoids are rare creatures that live in almost every environment. Despite their strange appearance, bulthoids are actually a very intelligent race, capable of tool use and engineering. Bulthoid society is built on a system of meritocratic communism with a focus on community support and direct communication, where everyone votes and participates in the political processes of their community. This inherent group effort makes bulthoid societies extremely resiliant to both local predators and more existential threats in their chosen ecosystems.

#350 Ddeinn

The ddeinn roams swamps and lava fields looking for fresh meat in an endless pursuit of food. Although ddeinns are strict carnivores, they have no preference on what meat they eat, often resorting to cannibalism or rotten meat when alternatives are scarce. Ddeinn's powerful wings allow them to traverse long distances quickly; whether they're swooping in from miles above or charging along the ground, there are few creatures that can escape this predator's razor-sharp, hungry maw. Ddeinn emit so much heat from their body that they can cook meat by sleeping on it, but this vast energy exodus is also what requires them to constantly be on the hunt for more, more, more.

#344 Gavo

Gavo are small, porcupine-like creatures from outer space. Their quills perpetually burn red-hot, which protects them from almost every predator, and their claws are perfectly evolved for digging through almost any material, which has enabled gavos to largely own the underground. Interestingly enough, it seems that gavos significantly grow in size when exposed to the sun, yet most gavos spend every free moment burrowing deeper and deeper into the planet. It is unclear what gavos eat for sustenance. Although gavos are solitary creatures, they are capable of reproducing in large numbers extremely fast if they encounter another gavo underground.

#120 Cuuyn

A cuuyn is a strange, slow-moving creature that can only survive in areas where the air contains a certain, top-secret compound. A cuuyn's lifespan is directly correlated with the density of the compound it breathes: the denser, the longer the cuuyn will live, with no documented upper limit. As a cuuyn ages, its bodily cycles speed up exponentially, significantly increasing its metabolism, gestation period, and immune systems. It is widely believed that cuuyns were artificially created for government animal testing, but no one has ever found proof.

#279 Musrusqua

Musrusquas are small, intelligent mammals slightly resembling molerats who live in and under forests. Musrusqua skin is made of a durable chitin scaling that make them incredibly resilient to predators. These small creatures are best known by adventurers and travelers who frequent the publicweald, where they routinely yell at human passerbys in their harsh, squealing language. Underground, musrusquas are unrivaled in speed; their long, sharp claws can pierce through hard stone as easily as they can dig through dirt.
