#098 Amber

Ambers are the bane of a sailor's life and have driven many towns inland, away from the waters. After emerging from most sandy shorelines at night, they sit quietly upon rocks, physically reflecting picturesque faces from your most haunting memories.

#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.

#062 The Acolyte

Not much is known about the acolyte, including whether it's one creature or many. However, many travelers have reported that they've witnessed the acolyte while dying in nearby deserts. The description of the experience varies wildly from person to person, but those who've lived to tell the tale all agree on one thing: the acolyte asks you in your own language to use your dying breath to explain why you should keep living. If the acolyte likes your answer, you'll breathe again.

#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.

#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.

#240 Bargrim

The bargrim is a small, nocturnal creature which is native to the forests of the world. It may look like an ordinary butterfly when it is resting, but its natural camouflage belies its fearsome nature. It has sharp teeth, tough scales, and can quickly spin a web to trap its prey. Bargrim wings are also covered in a sedative dust that they can expel with a masterful flick of the wing. Some villages make sleepytime tea with bargrim dust.

#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.

#288 Korod

A korod is a large, pale yellow bug with two large eyes and two long antennae. It has a single long leg on the underside of its body and two additional antennae on under its wings. It is an omnivore, eating both meat and plants. The korod is blind, deaf, and mute, but it has a keen sense of taste, smell, and touch. Korod are capable of walking, running, flying, and swimming.

#320 Blithodurc

Blithodurcs are strange creatures also known as the "silent ones." They have no mouths and instead subsist on a diet of ambient radiation and sunlight. They are about the size of a pea and are made of twisted and fused boneshards of many different animals. They move incredibly slowly and quietly and will often spend days just stretching, observing the people and other creatures of their environs. It is possible for a blithodurc to form a close bond with a sentient life form and become deeply attached to them; however, these relationships are usually short-lived, as the blithodurc will eventually become enamored with another person, who will then become the center of their attention. If a blithodurc is deeply saddened by the loss of their friend, they will sometimes stop moving and die within a few days.
