A wild creature appears!

Ungarmel

When a creature is near, an ungarmel on the prowl will curl up in a ball and hover above the ground, doing its best to blend in with the environment in order to catch its prey unaware. When the time is right, the ungarmel will attack by releasing the creature inside it that drinks blood. After a successful hunt, the creature returns and eventually shares its spoils from inside the ungarmel.

#076 Hifinginn

Although the celestial cataclysm was a great catastrophe, it did introduce us to the Hifinginn and their universes—and consequently pushed forward our technology, biology, medicine, and understanding of the cosmos at least a century forward. The Hifinginn body is composed of veons instead of atoms, which is believed to be the reason why they largely ignore our universal rules of physics.

#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.

#196 Fa'gu'leyth

The monstrous fa'gu'leyth is an extradimensional parasite from an unknown source. Initial tests indicate the fa'gu'leyth is capable of infecting native plantlife (especially moss) with a hivemind-like syndrome. It has been determined that the fa'gu'leyth consciousness can perceive its surroundings from the point of view of any infected plant, and seems to also be capable of reproducing via spores emitted from the bright green moss that grows on its body. A mutated vascular system allows the fa'gu'leyth to perform an indirect form of photosynthesis via the algae that grows rampant in its cardiovascular systems.

#223 Flignog

Flignogs are small, furred creatures that can usually be found in trees, grasslands, and caves. They often band together in small tribes, and are known to "bray" at each other to communicate. They are omnivores and spend much time hunting small animals and gathering fruit. They have also grown to enjoy the "brayberries" of the braytree, which flignogs often collect and bury in secret troves for later.

#179 Zath'og

Zath'ogs are a small, muscular species of warm-blooded reptile. Their skin is a dark green and rough, with microscopic scales all over their body. They are often found in groups of ten or more, communicating through telepathy. They usually eat meat, but some have been seen to eat vegetation as well. Zath'ogs are known for their meek, tentative temperament and are sometimes considered to be the "creepy-crawly" of the tundra. They are thought to be very intelligent and capable of complex problem-solving and reasoning, although research efforts to learn more about this ancient creature have all been stunted by unrelated onsets of serious illness.

#310 Buuzkut

Buuzkuts are a species of small animal that looks a lot like a beetle, but are actually part of the Lepidoptera order. They have large eyes, a chitinous shell, and an intermuscular antenna. Buuzkuts love to eat fizzy drinks and will often hoard cans of it in their underground nests. They rarely come out during the daytime, preferring to stay in their nests and slowly slurp up a steady stream of fizzy soda. The average buuzkut lives for about six months.

#359 Nadraghb

The nadraghb are extradimensional beings that physically resemble earthly raccoons in appearance, but that's where their similarities to any creatures on this planet end. Nadraghb seem to freely manipulate spacetime, allowing them to move at superluminal speeds, fly, or phase through matter on another plane. Nadraghb have a complex social structure, valuing community, cooperation, and self-improvement. They have a strong sense of family, often living in large groups with close-knit bonds. Their society is ruled by a council of elders, chosen for their omniscience and experience, who assign quests to those in lower castes and mentor the young. Although nadraghb seem incapable of speaking or understanding human languages, they do seem to have a sense of humor; when visiting our world, they often fashion clothes to look like ninjas, bandits, or cowboys. These creatures are capable of using literally any object as a weapon and will always fight their way out of any sticky situation. Despite their advanced abilities, however, the nadraghb are largely peaceful creatures, often preferring to spend their time studying the quantum plane or watching cartoons.

#120 Cuuyn

A cuuyn is a strange, slow-moving creature that can only survive in areas where the air contains a certain, top-secret compound. A cuuyn's lifespan is directly correlated with the density of the compound it breathes: the denser, the longer the cuuyn will live, with no documented upper limit. As a cuuyn ages, its bodily cycles speed up exponentially, significantly increasing its metabolism, gestation period, and immune systems. It is widely believed that cuuyns were artificially created for government animal testing, but no one has ever found proof.

#378 Teshi Nurturi

The Teshi Nurturi are strange creatures that look like eggs but contain a thriving colony of pseudo bacteria. This colony is semi-sentient, and to the people of the planet Yav'Gara, the Teshi Nurturi is the perfect first pet for any child as it is simple to take care of, needing only some sugar water and a bit of dirt once a week. In Yav'Garan culture, they are seen as a symbol of growth and prosperity, and it is a common tradition to gift one to a newborn or a young child. Some families even raise a Teshi Nurturi alongside a child, believing that if both reach adulthood, they will share a deep spiritual bond. The pseudo bacteria inside the egg-like structure are special in several ways. Firstly and most usefully for the rest of the civilized galaxy, they are universally ingestible. Secondly, given an appropriate interface, the pseudo bacteria can act as a semi-stable form of biological-digital storage medium, allowing data to be stored and retrieved in a way that surpasses most synthetic storage solutions. Lastly, they never stop growing. So long as they are appropriately fed, the Teshi Nurturi will continue to expand. The capital city of Yav'Gara holds the current record with a Teshi Nurturi that is nearly sixty feet tall and weighs several thousand tons. In some rural areas, people have cultivated them into structural supports and even entire dwellings, hollowing them out while keeping the bacterial colony intact. The lifecycle of the Teshi Nurturi, when left alone in nature, is rather simple. The pseudo bacteria hatch from a strange mix of egg sack and shell and immediately start consuming any nutrients they can find. As they metabolize these nutrients, their waste products form the creature's shell. After the first six weeks of life, the Teshi Nurturi is roughly the size of a small chicken's egg. At this stage in the wild, other creatures commonly consume them. A reaction between the pseudo bacteria and digestive fluids causes the formation of a new egg sack, which is excreted, and the cycle begins anew. Several theories suggest that the pseudo bacteria that hatch are identical to the ones consumed, implying a form of biological reincarnation. Others believe the Teshi Nurturi is the longest-lived organism ever discovered, with its bacterial colony continuously regenerating over millennia. While neither theory has been definitively proven, both have passionate supporters, particularly among eco-activist and fringe scientific communities. Beyond their cultural and theoretical importance, the Teshi Nurturi has numerous scientific and technological applications. Their pseudo bacteria are a powerful probiotic, aiding digestion and immune system health across many species. Some corporations have even experimented with them as living batteries, harnessing bioelectricity generated from their metabolic processes. More controversially, they are being studied as potential medicinal treatments, as certain strains show promise in regenerating tissue and extending lifespans. Furthermore, rare specimens have exhibited unexpected mutations—such as unique shell patterns resembling text or glyphs—which have intrigued researchers at the University of Yav'Gara. In the modern world, the Teshi Nurturi is a universal food staple. Massive farms accelerate their growth using specialized fertilizers, artificial hormones, and amino acids, producing vast quantities to feed the galaxy. Chefs and culinary experts have also found that varying the nutrients provided can create Teshi Nurturi with distinct flavors, leading to gourmet variations prized in high-end restaurants. Legends speak of an ancient Teshi Nurturi hidden deep in the Yav'Garan swamps—one that has been growing for centuries and may have developed true sentience. Known as the "Great Sleeping Nurturi," it is rumored to be the size of a mountain, and some believe it is the guardian of the planet’s ecosystem. Meanwhile, reports of unusually large or strangely behaving Teshi Nurturi have led to strict planetary export regulations. Smugglers and black-market dealers often try to transport them off-world, where they are in high demand for their unique properties. The planetary government and the University of Yav'Gara ask that any anomalous behavior be reported to them immediately and any specimens that fall outside what is considered normal be returned to Yav'Gara for study.
