A wild creature appears!

Karystel

Karystels are noted for their beauty, grace, and quickness. Their long, lithe bodies move like eels, and they have scales in shades of iridescent purple, blue, and green. They are very popular in the arts, both among dancers and musicians. Baby karystels look like tadpoles, but significantly grow in size over a maturation period of two years. It is not understood why some karystels develop human-like hands and some develop large tentacles for arms.

#002 Quixole

This highly-intelligent bug establishes and oversees mutli-special insect colonies using a pheromone that encourages teamwork. Large sales of their serum are government-controlled and extremely expensive, but large cities typically keep at least a few quixoles for as-needed infusions into the city's water supply.

#222 Oltang

The oltang is a large, green, lizard-like creature that inhabits the swamps and wetlands of Oorzh. Being mostly aquatic, the oltang usually only comes to land when it is voluntarily wanting to shed its skin. The oltang has a long, constantly-shaking tail that produces an electrical current. When a predator or a new potential mate approaches, the oltang will raise its tail high above its head and then slam it down; if the creature is a potential mate, the electrical current will cause an explosion of green sparkles. If the creature is a predator, the shock will usually ward it off.

#219 Flailx

Flailx are oddball "fish" that photosynthesize their oxygen from the sun, severely limiting the nautical areas they may call home. However, flailx are extremely adept at holding their breath for long periods of time (sometimes for days!) and will venture into the deep sea to frolick along the seafloor alongside other schools of fish. They will, however, frequently return to the surface for more air and to re-warm their bodies in the sun after spending much time submerged. It is theorized that the flailx are a "reverse-evolution" of land mammals turned nautical, and that ancient flailx had long, spider-like legs.

#231 Ephflynne

Ephflynnes are enormous creatures that swim through the air at speeds of up to one thousand miles per hour. They're completely translucent, but they can change the wavelength of light they reflect to blend in with their surroundings or to make themselves visible. They eat massive amounts of vapor every day, which they track and locate by following a pheremone known as sugreth. An ephflynne can grow to be ten miles long and can live for hundreds of years.

#192 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.

#305 Goursherpoid

Goursherpoids are aggressive reptiles that have large, flat sensors in their eye which allows them to see every wavelength of light. They have a long t tail that they can use defensively to whack their predators, and they have a bone behind their eyeballs that allows them to move their body in any direction. They are aggressive, but not territorial, and will often pick fights with other goursherpoids for sport. They will kill other animals for food, but not for sport. When fighting, their tail is used to grab their opponent and hold them in place and their claws are then used to tear their prey apart.

#302 Aglolof

Aglolof is a large, winged creature that lives at extremely high altitudes, often above the clouds. It has a long, thin body and enormous wings, attracting many would-be riders to attempt to climb up to their lair, but few survive the journey, both because of the difficulty of their ascent and their host's violent reactions to their presence. They feed on insects and small mammals, and their excrement is often used by shoemakers to strengthen leather. They are born in clutches of 15-17 eggs, and will lash out at any perceived threat to their young.

#292 Volkan

The volkan is a massive creature, about the size of a buffalo, but with four legs and a tail. It is covered in thick black fur and has a massive mouth full of razor-sharp teeth. It has a pair of horn-like structures on its head and its eyes are usually glowing red or yellow in color. Volkans are solitary creatures and will rarely tolerate the presence of other volkans. They are extremely territorial and will fight to the death over their territory if they encounter another of their kind. When a battle between two volkans is about to begin, they will first do a series of complicated dances, where they will leap, kick, and stomp around the battleground.

#294 Qing'chi

Legends of the old qing'chi depict them as peaceful, fast, and incredibly intelligent. Although they were physically disproportioned by most standards, it's widely believed that their large head was the precursor to developing multiple interspecies languages and a strategic awareness of their surroundings that made them untouchable to all but the most potent predators. While qing'chi are capable of running faster than the wind, they prefer to use their wits and predict predator movement ahead of time, so they never find themselves needing to run in the first place. The qing'chi weren't recorded as an endangered species before they all suddenly disappeared. Zoologists today theorize they may have migrated to lands yet unseen by man's eye.
