#023 Jibini
The jibini race mutated from field mice in radioactive forests in the east. Over time, both their size and their hunger grew to colossal proportions; when they're not munching on trees to sustain an eternal hunger, they can be seen playing tunnel games with other jibinis and laughing.
#046 Camp Spirit
Camp spirits only appear in cases where a human body has been burned alive and left alone. It's unclear how they form, but scientists have narrowed it down to something in the bones reacting to long-term exposure to ashes. They were common during the witch trials and often reproduced through a method of indirect induction, wherein they'd intentionally cause mischief that led to suspicions of more witches. Camp spirits are much rarer nowadays, but not entirely extinct. They've evolved to live much longer and learned a system of governance that allows them to induce new generations through coordinated mischief and subterfuge on nearby human towns.
#044 Zweifhlaightte
Zweifhlaughttes are colossal slugs from a time long before humans that have an interesting physiological compartmentalization not present in other species on the planet. The majority of the body remains buried underground in self-dug caves, while smaller pieces of the body detach and claw their way up to the surface, where they hunt for small animals. After they've consumed an excess of nutrients, the hunting appendages return underground and rejoin with their host body.
#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.
#017 Dust Angel
The dust angel is a common critter in arable desert areas. Nutrients from their saliva propagates through plants into the soil, improving yield for all plants in the vicinity. They're extremely rare and expensive, but the richest farming organizations seem to have a limitless supply to use.
#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.
#243 Banabat
Banabats are small, flying creatures of the night best known for their bright yellow coloring and unique reproduction cycle. Banabats are friendly to most species and primarily feed on tree sap by using their sharp teeth to pierce deep holes through bark. While feeding, an enzyme in their saliva mixes back into the tree, fertilizing it. After a tree is fertilized, it will start growing a patch of typically 12-14 additional banabats sprouting directly from its branches.
#236 Squeebl
Squeebls were first domesticated at the turn of the last century to be an aquatic pet used to symbolize world adventuring among the upper class, but have since become a popular staple in all kinds of households due to their simple care instructions, ability to survive without food, and cute size. Squeebls produce a thick, black ink that was used for maps, but can also be re-consumed by the squeebl itself to darken it's pigment; without this ink, these jelly creatures will fade into a transparent gray. Other inks, however, can transform these best-selling creatures into all kinds of vivid colors.
#298 Goryth
Goryths are a species of omnivorous humanoids native to the world's greenest mountains. Their bodies are covered in black or dark brown fur and their feet are large and splayed, making them excellent at climbing and jumping. Their heads are large, with a pair of yellow eyes, a small, flat nose, and no mouth. They have long, prehensile tails with which they grab onto branches and climb trees.
