A wild creature appears!

Crindelino

Crindelino (meaning "giant armored ones" in an ancient script) are New World placental cold-blooded mammals. Crindelinos live isolated lives in the hottest deserts for long lifespans currently estimated to be over two thousand years long.

Crindelinos are characterized by a leathery armor shell and long, sharp claws at the end of even longer arms. They have long legs, but are incredibly inflexible creatures, which impedes their mobility and speed. Newborn crindelinos typically measure between five and six feet tall, yet older crindelinos can grow to be over six hundred feet tall. Although they would be extremely capable predators, crindelinos frequently roll up into an armored ball whenever they are threatened by a predator, big or small.

#136 Bruvnur

Bruvnurs are large, black-and-white mammals that have demonstrated a high level of intelligence and inter-species communication. They are reknowned for their ability to quickly learn and take orders. In the wild, they are usually found in large groups that congregate in frozen cave systems. Bruvnurs are often hunted for their thick pelts, which sell for a handsome sum to the Academy.

#144 Stemilia

The stemilia are an ancient race of primates known for their extremely long, stilt-like legs. Although they historically cooperated with humanity in the distant past and lived in relative harmony with jungle villages, modern stemilia are significantly more aggressive and fearful of humans and prefer to live in villages of their own, far away from the nearest human town. Although stemilia legs are prone to breaking often, they will apply hand-made splints to remain upright and heal quickly with their fast-acting regenerative systems. As stemilia age, their legs will naturally thicken with muscle and fortified calcium deposits.

#212 Steevlen

The steevlen is an adorable creature that lives in the forests of the world. They are small, round lion-like creatures (usually about three feet tall) that love to hug and lick. Their saliva contains a mild poison that often can be used to stun attackers. Steevlen are typically pack hunters and live in large familial groups that claim any interesting geological formations in the area as their own, where they will often keep all of their spoils.

#308 Nishiki

The nishiki is a large, intelligent and naturally magical creature that stands far above most other plainswalkers. They are usually found in large herds in the northern and southern tundras of the planet, where their thick hide keeps them impervious to freezing temperatures. Although nishikis have immense magical powers, they are not able to cast spells like their smaller cousin, the nashaka. Instead, their magical powers manifest physically in the form of a gigantic horn that grows out of their forehead. Depending on the individual nishiki and their mood, touching the horn can heal wounds and cure disease, or create fire and lightning.

#327 Henevaspider

Henevaspiders are small creatures about the size of a schoolbus that are found in the mountains. They have dozens of long, thin legs, which have a sticky fluid on the underside of them, allowing them to cling to even the most treacherous rocky surfaces. Their bodies are soft and fragile and are covered with tiny, thin hairs; the hairs act like a web to capture small insects and bring them to the henevaspiders' mouths. Henevaspiders usually live in small communities of about fifty of themselves and will sometimes steal and ransom the eggs of other creatures in exchange for tasty offerings.

#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.

#262 Ri-la-doch

Ri-la-doch are a species of sentient amphibious creatures that are somewhat similar to a large frog. Most are around three feet tall and covered in reflective, chromatically-aberrant skin. Like a frog, they are able to jump enormous distances and have sticky tongues that they use to catch their prey, although their prey is usually much larger than what a frog would normally eat. Ri-la-doch usually inhabit swamps and mucklands, but can be found in many different environments. During their annual mating season, they will grow wings and tails and migrate to warmer climates. Ri-la-doch are renowned for their vast knowledge of natural and improvisational medicines.

#329 Alsjepsel

The alsjepsel is a large reptile-mammal hybrid that frequents acidic swamps in the southern hemisphere. The alsjepsel were first discovered by Nin adventurers that mistook them for a demon and started a century-long crusade to wipe them out, which left a nearly extinct population. These days, alsjepsel have mostly been able to repopulate, but keep to themselves and stay far away from humans when possible. When threatened they may attack, but otherwise the alsjepsel is a generally docile herbivore.

#177 Luneptera

The luneptera are a rarely-seen race of intelligent humanoid beetle that claim to be related to fairies. Not much is known about lunepteras other than recorded observations from times when they were more common to see, but it is written that their skin is covered in chitin that only reflects moonlight, making them invisible during the day (and on moon-less nights). Luneptera are a generally friendly race, although they've had some notable issues with mankind in the past. Luneptera also love stealing and wearing human hats and clothing, especially during their holiday celebrations; they seem to be particularly fond of long dresses, overcoats, and tall hats.
