A wild creature appears!

Banjif

Banjifs spend most of their days rolled up in balls, taking naps in the sunlight. When they're hungry, they use their incredible leg strength to leap into the sky to catch a bird in their mouth. While in ball form, a banjif is protected from most predators by their strong, chitinous shell.

#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.

#009 Rappariffian

Rappariffians have never had a confirmed sighting, but cultures throughout history have always told stories of some form of them, albeit with different names. These spectral presences weave themselves through dimensional planes, occasionally passing through our physical dimension. Stories are inconsistent on whether they're completely silent or screaming banshees.

#083 Weretree

When a werebeing sheds blood into groundwater, in some rare cases a nearby tree may absorb it and transform into a weretree. After around six weeks of transformation time, the weretree's bark feels rubbery; the branches grow large, meaty muscles; a face may form, though often lacks the vocal cords to speak; and a coveted Essence Tree may sprout directly from its wooden heart, producing nectar, ambrosia, and colorful fruits. Farmers lucky enough to have a weretree born on their farm benefit greatly from the weretree's harvest, but also inexplicably become targets for jealous neighbors.

#108 Nulstiver

Nulstivers are large, werecreatures that are native to ancient tundra wastelands. They are generally quite docile and tend to move extremely slowly unless provoked. Despite being quite fearsome in appearance, they are typically quite friendly, often bringing the young children of nearby villages any inedible trinkets they find in the wild. Nulstivers tend to live in large groups, with a single alpha male and female leading the pack. Each nulstiver is responsible for helping raise the young of the pack in a similar way to a wolf pack or a pride of lions. While other types of werecreatures are typically solitary hunters, nulstivers will usually work together to catch large prey animals. The two most prominent features of a nulstiver are their jaws, which are lined with sharp teeth, and their thick, bony, shield-like scales that cover the top of their head and the majority of their back.

#137 Gungon

Gungons are medium-sized primates that live in the colder forests of the world. Their white fur is very dense, waterproof, and home to many insect populations. The colorful plants that grow out of their backs serve as camouflage in the spring, after the snow has gone. The plants are edible, but are also able to store water that the creature can drink in times when it cannot find nearby water. Gungons loves to eat berries and can often be found in forests picking berries with its long prehensile tail. When a gungon feels threatened, it will stand on its hind legs, shake out a cloud of white pollen, and roar as loud as possible in order to scare off any would-be attacker.

#039 Gundir

Gundirs are feared beasts of the furthest reachest north. They move quickly and quietly, using the pelts of their prey both to stay warm and remain cloaked under cover. They have been known to masquerade as animals for up to a week before ambushing others. Natives in the area refer to gundirs as fi'ni, which roughly translates to "Layered Pelt Beast".

#066 Stonemaker

Stonemakers inhabit deserts, fields, and mountains. They feed largely off rock and stone, always migrating to find new flavors and consistencies. Venom injected through a stonemaker bite will also turn most organic matter into a hardened stone within a matter of minutes or hours, depending on the size and hardiness of the victim. There is no known cure for the stonemaker's turn other than a fast amputation before the venom can spread. Stonemakers often flock to the statues they make in nature, sharing their kill with others of their tribe.

#161 Adrakas

The adrakas is a giant leathery fish about the size of a small city. Its highly porous skin allows it to breathe in the water or on land, and its mouth is designed to eat all manner of creatures, from mammals to plants to rocks. The adrakas lifespan has yet to be determined, but they've been reported to have endured through more planetary-scale changes and geologic periods than mankind has. They have no known predators.

#314 Ghiana

Ghiana are a distant aquatic relative to ancient starfish that pump electricity through their veins and filter water into liquid carbon, which they passively absorb. Although these colorful fish are known for their beauty (and weirdness), the color they appear as depends entirely on the emotional state of their viewer. Those with a clear conscious will see them as a light pink, while those with deep secrets will see a darker red or orange. In rare cases, some people claim to see ghiana of other colors; however, scientists are still unsure of how ghiana color-changing mechanisms work and what exactly dictates who sees what color.
