A wild creature appears!

Aledharo

Aledharen are slimy, blind creatures that wander deserts in search of warm rocks to lie on, where they'll typically sunbathe for weeks at a time. When an aledharo is hungry, it'll bury its head in the dunes and extend root-like tentacles that extract nutrients and groundwater from deep in the ground. The slime aledharen uniformly secrete from their body is disgusting both in taste and smell, and is a natural predator-deterrent.

#080 Elphin

Elphins largely inhabit marshy enchanted forests (usually those with a larger body of water within them), although they have also sometimes been seen in nearby freshwater lakes. Elphins are renouned for their above-surface jump heights and accuracy, with world records set around thirty feet high through a tiny hoop. They're also highly intelligent and seem to have a form of language using squeaks and echoes.

#079 Skrayll

Most Skraylls live in the darkest forests, eating shrubs and rodents, although those that live a long time often grow larger and larger. Skrayll bones are made of a soft, rubbery substance that allows them to change over time depending on use, not unlike how muscles grow and shrink. Their rubbery bone material also secretes a slimy substance that hardens into a thick hide when exposed to air, which skyraylls must constantly shed or else they risk mobility problems and/or full paralysis.

#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.

#218 Sihzzh

A sihzzh is an aquatic creature with a variety of strange habits related to constantly shedding its hardened skin. They usually live in large lakes or in the briny depths of the ocean, where they prowl the water in an almost never-ending search for food. Sihzzh are not social creatures and will easily fight to the death over a single fish. Luckily, even when a sihzzh is hurt, it can heal quickly by exposing its wounds to the sun; after a few hours, all injuries will be completely mended, and the sihzzh will go back to hunting.

#261 Gorgaur

Gorgaurs are a species of multi-legged reptiles common to beaches and the coasts of shallower seas. They are large and aggressive, living in small groups and hoarding small, precious objects that they find. A gorgaur group will typically carve out a shared burrow to sleep in and store their found valuables in small holes within it. Gorgaurs are also very intelligent, and have been observed using tools to dig up sand and build complex sand structures.

#266 Zajg

Zajg (spelled zayg in some locales) are a faceless fish common in warm reefs. These large trawlers use a version of echolocation that provides better information about their surroundings compared to typical fish eyesight. This sensory system allows zajg to dominate their habitats using tactical positioning and almost-omniscient knowledge of what is happening where. Although zajg reproduce often, their populations are often controlled by local fishermen.

#331 Vok'til

Vok'til are a rare race of reptile that can sometimes be found in dormant volcanos and other warm, cavernous mountains. Although they have small wings, they are incapable of flight; rather, they use their wings to aerodynamically change directions quickly when sprinting along the ground, and occasionally to slow their fall or glide when making large, vertical jumps along their cliffside. Vok'til have hollow, brittle bones that make them incredibly light but also fragile. Vok'til are very aggressive creatures and will chase (and attack) almost anything that moves, even if it's inedible.

#259 Gghun'vur

Gghun'vur are small insects with 13 legs that live in the coldest frozen tundras in the world. Their internal body temperature is very close to absolute zero, which severely limits the temperatures they can survive in; harsh, freezing temperatures comparatively feel like a sunny day to them and they manage to keep warm in these environments. Gghun'vur hunt other insects and small creatures via a combination of high-speed sprinting and a powerful jump, which the gghun'vur uses to tackle and wrap its legs around its prey, instantly freezing them. An enyzme from the gghun'vur's saliva breaks down biomass within frozen hunks as they lick it, allowing this small creature to consume entire frozen meals with just its small, barbed tongue.

#096 Cerasuc

Cerasucs are large, furry mammals that live in deep caves and are often found in groups of 10 or more. They have a black coat and antlers that are prized for their ability to reflect light and light up dark spaces. They have excellent night vision and their hearing is also very acute, allowing them to sense predators from far away. They forage for mushrooms and other underground plants and make nests out of sticks and vines. These strange creatures have a stoic, aloof demeanor and very little interest in other species of animals. They are very shy and skittish creatures that go out of their way to stay away from humans, but will attack if provoked or frightened.
