A wild creature appears!

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.

#041 Weiffalo

Weiffalo produce a seasonal wool that is as light as clouds. When Weiffalo have thick, natural coats, they love to ride strong gusts of wind around open fields, often bumping into each other both in the air and upon landing. Weiffalo also love to roll down large hills where their accumulated speed often launches them into the air if they encounter a small hill or large bump. When they're without their thick coat, their skin becomes irritable and easily broken during their typical tomfoolery.

#220 Phlanghia

Phlanghia are interdimensional mass collections that collapse into a large rabbit-like shape when bearing our dimension. These ancient creatures are said to have been around before time or space and seen the evolution of our world throughout time. Although phlanghia seem exceptionally intelligent and powerful, there has been no success yet in the many trials attempting to lure them into containment centers in our dimension for further study, nor any luck in communicating with the creature. Much remains unknown about this mysterious creature.

#188 Crysion

Crysions exhibit an interesting physical phenomenon not entirely understood yet by scientists: the refraction of their scales reflects light such that crysions are only visible in water and invisible out of water. After death, the crysion's scales begin a chemical decomposition process that results in less and less "invisibility" over time. Crysion meat is one of the most nutritious fish and said to be extremely good for maintaining healthy eyes.

#242 Antwij

Antwij are a race of small angomites that originate from the southern deserts, but have long since migrated to a wider array of biomes after their homes became uninhabitable. Antwijes don't typically survive very long in the wild, except in the easiest of environment, because of their extremely docile nature and lack of hunting skill. Additionally, these small insects seem to have difficulty taking any food they deem belongs to someone or something else, leaving them starving even when a source of food may be nearby. In some desert societies, antwijes are renowned as ancient, holy creatures and provided a steady supply of food from the church. In these societies, it is not uncommon for these small creatures to crawl over sleeping members of the church in the night, repeatedly kissing them as a sign of thanks and good luck.

#178 Xi'gind

The xi'gind is an unintelligent creature that shares more DNA with terrestrial flora than fauna. A single xi bulb, given the proper care and environment, can sprout a newborn xi'gind within a matter of weeks. Although the xi'gind head then grows vertically out of the soil, xi'ginds also accelerate root-like growth of fleshy appendages that can grow from the ground over a hundred yards away. It is currently unknown how the xi'gind controls these remote appendages, as they don't seem to share a physical connection with the head.

#263 Vindsmen

After the devastating CK-295 meteor impact, what little life survived on planet P-192-856B had to radically evolve in order to survive the planet's new radioactive atmosphere. Vindsmen were once a variant of the common earth ape whose DNA began to diverge shortly after being seeded onto the planet; however, the few changes that occurred prior to CK-295 were dwarfed by its impact. Vindsmen have largely migrated from forests and jungles to caves deep underground, where they eat mushrooms, small plants, and insects. Most notably, vindsmen have evolved an amorphous muscular system that allows them not only to reshape their body at will, but also to combine with other vindsmen into a singular entity. Although rare, some sightings have reported gigantic vindsmen clusters of hundreds of connected apes. Vindsmen have a short lifespan due to an extremely high frequency of cancer.

#322 Ungarmel

When a creature is near, an ungarmel on the prowl will curl up in a ball and hover above the ground, doing its best to blend in with the environment in order to catch its prey unaware. When the time is right, the ungarmel will attack by releasing the creature inside it that drinks blood. After a successful hunt, the creature returns and eventually shares its spoils from inside the ungarmel.

#074 Angrenif

Angrenifs are shapeless blobs of living matter that can be found in the deserts of the world. They are extremely resilient and can survive for years without water or food, instead drawing their energy from the heat of the desert. When an angrenif is in direct sunlight, it will begin to move faster and morph to grow larger; but when it is in the shade, it will slow down and begin to shrink. Their typical lifespan is about one hundred years.

#204 Klelag

Klelags are peaceful creatures of the southern tropical islands. They live in groups of around ten and create elaborate, beautiful nests of grass and palm fronds out at sea. Their favorite food is the silver-striped pike-perch, which they can be found fishing for in the shallows. Klelags are mostly harmless, but they do have one weird defense mechanism that they'll instinctively use if they feel threatened: They will expand the membranes of their wings and hop over their prey, painfully raking their enemy with the sharp barbs lining their wings.
