A wild creature appears!

Joprao

The joprao is a flying, amphibious creature which grows to be about four meters in length. It makes its nest in the long grasses of the savanna, where it lays and incubates its eggs. In order to attract mates and protect its territory, the joprao will create long, brightly colored ribbons of hair, which it attaches to its back and chest. When a male joprao is attempting to win a female, it will flap its wings to produce a high-pitched clicking sound at a unique frequency which only their mate will hear. Although few jopraos can hear each other, they can all be heard by humans; as such, joprao mating season is enough to force almost everyone in the area away for weeks at a time.

#147 Herling

The herling is a small bird about the size of a housecat. They are mostly harmless, but are often pests because of their tendency to steal and hoard shiny objects. A herling will take any object that catches their eye, including jewelry, coins, pencils, pens, forks, spoons, knives, scissors, and anything else they can carry. They usually hide these objects in the hollows of trees or other dark recesses of their environment. They are also known for the bright red feathers that emit a slight luminescent glow in low light.

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.

#133 Reeborra

Reeborras are large, herbivorous creatures native to the planet of the same name. They are closely related to the earth sloth and are often found in the desert dunes. They have short tails that consistently drip water when they're calm, which other creatures often latch on to when thirsty. Reeborras are very peaceful creatures and are often hunted by poachers for their distinctive skull and large water sac.

#027 Mipurd Ballow

Mipurd Ballows are a small, primitive species of salamander that are found in the deepest cavities of melting ice sheets. They are extremely hardy and can survive in almost any environment, but they are slow-moving and are often considered weak by other living creatures. Mipurd Ballows are also extremely territorial and will fight to the death to defend their territory, which rarely goes well for them.

#150 Toomel

Toomels are small worm-like creatures that live just below the surface of the earth. They enjoy tunneling through the ground but prefer to stay close to the surface. When it rains, toomels will emerge from the ground and spend time on the surface to avoid drowning. During this time, they're particularly vulnerable to predators because they have no effective defense mechanisms other than shifting their spherical body segments into other configurations.

#289 Harra

The harra are an ancient race of polymer creatures that were created by the old gods as a punishment for mankind. Harra were meant to be a curse upon humanity, but they have since evolved and are now a beneficial, benevolent species. They are very intelligent and able to communicate with humans through telepathy. They are able to heal most diseases by touch and the most powerful harra are capable of keeping other creatures alive even if they are mortally wounded. They also have a strange affinity for electronics and are able to understand and control any system using radio waves. They can be found all over the world, but the harra believe their true home is in the sky.

#167 Telusiv

The telusiv is a predatory creature that often lives in the desert, but has been spotted in many other environments. Telusivs have a long, snake-like body and, although they spend most of their life on the ground, they are able to briefly swim through the air if necessary, enabling telusivs to move rapidly from one place to another. Its diet consists primarily of small rodents, insects, and other animals. Telusivs often travel in family packs, where the strongest will typically hunt and bring back large quantities of food for the others in the traveling "nest". Telusivs can also spit a paralyzing venom at prey or enemies, but this has a limited range, so they usually save it for special occasions.

#360 Jadyx

Jadyx are large, flightless birds whose metallic scales shimmer brightly in the moonlight, giving them a truly mesmerizing appearance. They are native to the dense, humid rainforests of the far south, where they can often be found foraging for fruit and small insects among the lush vegetation. Despite their impressive size, Jadyx are generally quite docile and peaceful creatures, preferring to avoid conflict whenever possible. However, they are fiercely protective of their young and will not hesitate to defend them if they feel threatened. In terms of ecology, Jadyx play a vital role in their ecosystem as seed dispersers, spreading the seeds of the fruit they eat throughout the rainforest. They are also an important food source for larger predatory animals, such as jaguars and pumas. Overall, the Jadyx are a vital part of the delicate balance of life in the southern rainforests.
