#073 Pinbin Snake

Pinbin snakes are totally harmless, almost-friendly creatures. They eat grass, lick rocks for fun, and rarely grow more than a foot long. Their eyes are a delicacy among the rich.

#030 Urryn-ast

Urryn-ast are always on the hunt for humans on the verge of death and will track their prey for days at a time. They consume deceased bodies whole and, in doing so, memorize a sequence of the consumed DNA as a part of their complex digestive process. After their feast, Urryn-ast will often shapeshift into the consumed creature and retrace their path back to others, hoping to get closer to their next meal.

#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.

#172 Krangof

Krangofs are most notable for their pungent odor and high-pitched, loud calls. They are largely-solitary, aggressive scavengers and maim any other animal that they perceive as a threat. Their sharp teeth are formed into a single, solid, serrated blade. Krangofs are the only creature completely impervious to the venomous bite of a poxip, among many other poisons. Krangofs are very smart and sometimes work together in small groups to hunt the animals that they need to survive, although they are untrustworthy and will backstab others to gain more food for themselves after completing the hunt.

#351 Volly

Volly are sturdy, four-legged mammals that live on lush mountaintops, peacefully grazing on grass, flowers, and small mushrooms. Centuries ago, volly were almost entirely domesticated and bred for their restorative tears; over time, however, the human race built up a resistance to the healing effects offered by volly tears. Eventually, the last domesticated volly were released back into the wild, where they seemingly all migrated to the highest altitudes to live in isolation among small familial groups. It is generally believed that the volly have evolved over time to retain their natural healing abilities, but only for use on other volly and not for the benefit of other species.

#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.

#343 Qualya

The first record of the gargantuan qualya was recorded by scientists on a digging expedition nearly a century ago, where they reported instrument malfunctions, tremors, and fits of temporary insanity. Since then, those who have studied qualya hypothesize that this creature is capable of controlling a wide variety of other underground critters, and uses a form of shared mind to remain largely undetected by predators or inquisitive human eyes. This induction into the shared mind seems to leave many creatures with deep discolorations on their skin or cancerous tumors within, yet no autopsies have revealed a chemical or biological cause that links them directly to qualya. There is much left to be understood about this ancient behemoth.

#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.

#367 Skalve

The skalve is a creature shrouded in legend and mystery, revered by many as a deity in the desert yet hated by others less favored. Its powerful and majestic presence is said to radiate a divine energy, and its sharp senses and unparalleled tracking abilities have led some to believe that it has a connection to the spiritual world. Skalves have a rough, sandy coat that helps them blend in with the desert and protects them from the harsh desert sun. A skalve's powerful legs allow it to traverse the dunes with ease, and its sharp claws enable it to dig for underground sources of water and food. Despite its rugged appearance, the skalve is actually quite intelligent and has been known to form close bonds with its human companions and their descendants. They are highly loyal and protective, making them valuable assets to any who respect the desert. A skalve's diet consists primarily of small rodents and lizards, but they are also known to scavenge for scraps and other sources of nourishment. They are able to go for long periods of time without water, thanks to their ability to extract moisture from the plants and insects they consume. This water is stored in bulbous sacs on the skalve's neck. In addition to their practical uses, skalves are also prized for their beauty. Their sandy coats shimmer in the sunlight, and their bright, expressive eyes seem to glow with a mysterious inner light. It is no wonder that the skalve has become such a religious figure in many desert communities.
