#078 Etorg
Etorgs are the living skeletal remains of eternal giants. Although most have grown bored of life and live solitary lives atop mountains or in colossal underground caves, younger etorgs will sometimes adopt a city, curl up around it, and patiently watch generations of lives unfold. Etorgs also love sandwiches, which they occasionally make by uprooting entire forests to squish between two slabs of planetary crust.
#008 Zoupir
Zoupir are small, insect-like pigs that travel underground, in packs. They feed primarily off dirt and roots, sucking nutrients from crops and vegetation in the area. They are an invisible pest, but farmers with a little know-how know how to spot signs of their presence.
#013 Emerid
Emerids are social, friendly birds that travel long distances through deserts, trying to make friends with lonely travelers and larger animals. They've been known to sing loud songs on hot nights, with nearby emerids all singing the same song. Those that spend much time in deserts typically develop a love-hate relationship with the emerid songs that keep them company during the day, but also keep them up all night.
#216 Zelorgbia
Zelorgbian creatures are relatively simple jellyfish-related invertibrates that live on the edges of the ocean. Zelorgbians come on shore to bask in the sunlight and to lay their eggs. However, they can't move on land and risk dehydration if they're beached, so they choose to stay as close to the water's edge as possible. They are very sociable and will often move in huge herds, which sometimes get swept long distances by strong ocean currents.
#239 Fyrial
The brilliant fire of a fyrial's eyes can be seen for miles and are the source behind many religious stories originating in ancient deserts. Although they are typically solitary creatures, they will sometimes come together in pairs or small groups to feed on a massive kill, earning goodwill within their local community. When a fyrial dies, its body is consumed in a violent explosion that burns it to ashes.
#221 Gormilgrimimrsa
Gormilgrimimrsa are tall, green, and lean creatures that live in the forest. They are extremely agile and can run for half a day on pure adrenaline, but can be very sensitive. To hunt, they use their keen sense of hearing to find prey, then use a mix of sticks and grass to craft weapons. Gormilgrimimrsa are very lonely creatures and will emotionally attach themselves to whoever is paying attention to them, often to their detriment.
#203 Hakaji
Hakaji are small, dimorphic reptilian creatures with a bug-like head and legs. Hakaji bodies are extremely light, allowing them to briefly float even in still air. They spend most of their time up in the sky soaring on the thermals, and can occasionally be spotted doing terrific acrobatics while freefalling through the air. Shock-absorbant properties in the hakaji legs enable them to always land gracefully, even from hundreds of feet in the air.
#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.
#296 Jaxilith
Jaxilives are large shapeshifters that appear as a swarm of blue flies when dormant. When a jaxilith is threatened, it will transform into a larger worm-like creature. This njaxilith form is covered in sharp red scales and flies with a small set of translucent wings that emit a small amount of blue light. Jaxilith temperament is short and aggressive, quickly swarming and overwhelming any potential threats to their home. Nowadays, the remaining jaxilives are said to live in underground caverns, where they indiscriminately prey on anything that isn't blue. Experimental testing of a severed jaxilith lens revealed that blue is actually the one color this small shapeshifter can't physically see. Some cultures have historically dissolved ground Kjaxilith scales into teas as a precursory version of antidepressants. Although the jaxilith presents itself as a swarm of flies while dormant, it's still only a single decentralized organism — and just as lonely.
