#024 Gnawl
Gnawls are a small, nocturnal, mountain-dwelling species that are known for their ability to carve caves into mountains and their distinctive multi-layered teeth. They are also known for their ability to communicate with each other through a series of low-pitched moans and growls. Their diet consists of insects, small rodents, and small birds.
#370 D'eggio
This fearsome matriarch stalks egg-laying creatures in swamps and wetlands until it finds the perfect time to strike, then takes over their prey's egg-laden nest as if it were their own. D'eggios will lay on top of eggs for days or weeks at a time while tendril-like spikes on their underside piece each egg with microscopic holes and inject their own DNA directly into the egg, resulting in abominable mutant creatures that are more like d'eggios than their original species, although both parts often show through. Although most d'eggio offspring don't live long enough to reproduce, some variants can completely take over an entire biome with the right genetics.
#007 Merm
Merms live in small groups, typically in the deepest reaches of the western oceans. They seem closely related to a potential aquatic fork of human evolution, but scientists haven't yet developed a way to communicate with them.
#141 Wartbug
The large wartbug is native to warmer forests on southern coasts, but has slowly spread throughout the continents over the years. They are about as large as a dog and primarily feed on berries and small forest-dwelling rodents. Wartbug shells are renowned for their durability and often sell for a high price. When a Wartbug is threatened in the wild, they will dig their feet into the ground to anchor themselves in place and then hide within their shell; predators will eventually give up versus their inpenetrable shell, but hunters and merchants will typically just cut off the wartbug's legs and haul the large body back to civilization.
#143 Gonagan
Gonagans are small, furry creatures that resemble a large, long-haired dog. They live primarily in the northern continents and love to build elaborate settlements comprised of shaped ice, debris, and crystalline structures. They are also extremely territorial and will quickly resort to deadly violence if their land is threatened by a human or other creature. Gonagans also have four sets of nipples beneath their long fur, all of which produce a very mild sedative that is extremely effective on humans. In many northern areas, gonagans were widely bred as a source of medication for the indigenous populations. In the east, gonagan tea is commonly consumed as a mild recreational drug and has gained the gonagan a large cult following.
#152 Poxip
Poxips wander the deserts of the world during their remarkably-short lifetime for a creature of their size. They are covered in fluffy hair that provides shelter and warmth during the cold nights outside of their burrow. Poxips love to eat berries and fruits that grow on cacti. Poxips are also very active in the night and will run away when they see another living creature during the daylight. It is said that a poxip remembers every face it sees and will always be friendly to those who show friendliness towards it.
#339 Karkat
Karkats are medium-sized creatures that spend most of their time on the ocean floor, though they will occasionally come to the surface for air. They have hollow bones and two long, nearly prehensile tails that help them to swim quickly. When they are at the surface, they tend to gather in large groups and quietly observe the world around them. They have very soft skin and are very gentle creatures.
#074 Angrenif
Angrenifs are shapeless blobs of living matter that can be found in the deserts of the world. They are extremely resilient and can survive for years without water or food, instead drawing their energy from the heat of the desert. When an angrenif is in direct sunlight, it will begin to move faster and morph to grow larger; but when it is in the shade, it will slow down and begin to shrink. Their typical lifespan is about one hundred years.
#167 Telusiv
The telusiv is a predatory creature that often lives in the desert, but has been spotted in many other environments. Telusivs have a long, snake-like body and, although they spend most of their life on the ground, they are able to briefly swim through the air if necessary, enabling telusivs to move rapidly from one place to another. Its diet consists primarily of small rodents, insects, and other animals. Telusivs often travel in family packs, where the strongest will typically hunt and bring back large quantities of food for the others in the traveling "nest". Telusivs can also spit a paralyzing venom at prey or enemies, but this has a limited range, so they usually save it for special occasions.
