#049 Emollo

Emollo are a race of intelligent grub-like creatures that evolved arms and legs while living in gigantic, underground cities. They stand approximately three centimeteres tall and typically live around eighty years, spending approximately half of that in their long-term school system.

#005 Thabu

Thabus are hulking creatures of ancient history that have survived over time by melding with mountains and hibernating. They awake every thousand or so years to see if the world is a better place, but a thabu invariably goes back to sleep after each short period awake. No one is sure what exactly they're waiting for.

#040 Menta

Menta tunnel their long, fish-looking tails through the seafloor and bait larger fish into biting it. The menta use a low-level form of mind control to then will the fish into the real menta body's mouth. Mentas have no known age or size limit and seem to grow 1-2 additional tails every decade, which continue to grow in length over time and can be independently controlled.

#112 Krearieae

Krearieae are large, birds covered in dense, wooly plumage. They are a sacred animal in the Unser culture. Members of the Fromug tribe breed and raise them as livestock, using their dung as a fertilizer and using krearieae feathers as a source of heat. They are also very powerful fliers and can carry objects almost ten times their own weight. When they are fully grown, they can be as large as an elephant.

#248 Yawelt

Yawelts are small reptiles that live in hot, dry deserts. They are extremely fast and use this speed to escape from predators. When a yawelt is hungry, it will enter a trance and move in whatever direction it is facing until it finds food. Even if it is surrounded by food and water, a yawelt can continue to move for days if they aren't directly in front of food. Because of their extreme tunnel vision, several popular children's stories about focus, drive, and relaxation are based on the common yawelt.

#145 Starsquid

Starsquid are the only known creatures that live in the upper exosphere. They are translucent floating jellyfish that hunt on moonless nights by using their bioluminescence. When dawn comes, they ascend back into the heavens to spend the day resting and digesting. Starsquids are said to be ancient and wise, and are responsible for inspiring mankind's first attempts at flight. According to mythology, they originated as energy life forms in the early days of the universe and slowly drifted through space until being captured in our planet's gravity well.

#302 Aglolof

Aglolof is a large, winged creature that lives at extremely high altitudes, often above the clouds. It has a long, thin body and enormous wings, attracting many would-be riders to attempt to climb up to their lair, but few survive the journey, both because of the difficulty of their ascent and their host's violent reactions to their presence. They feed on insects and small mammals, and their excrement is often used by shoemakers to strengthen leather. They are born in clutches of 15-17 eggs, and will lash out at any perceived threat to their young.

#328 Stregadurc

A stregadurc is a small creature that resembles a goblin. They are often found in suburban areas and feed on trash and other items that have been thrown away. They get their name from the strange noises they make, which sound like a combination of a scream and hiccup. Stregadurc organs are a delicacy for some Enhani tribes that live high in the mountains and keep these creatures as livestock in large, cavernous holes. Some wild stregadurcs have been seen crafting themselves basic clothing.

#349 Flayansk

The flayansk originates in the far north, in the freezing highlands of Cotsk. Flayansk vary wildly in size throughout their life, growing quickly from the size of rodents to the size of large boulders, then eventually shrinking back to microscopic levels as they reach old age. No matter their size, however, flayansk struggle with their weight: since they weigh less than air, these creatures will hold themselves close to the ground with their massive claws so they don't float away into the atmosphere. Although flayansk can go for weeks (or, in some cases, months) without eating, starvation is still their leading cause of death due to being unable to get back down to the ground once they start floating away.
