#088 Fustonin
Fustonins are small, blue birds that live near active volcanoes. They are extremely light and can fly at speeds of up to 300 mph. They have no beaks and instead use the hard, pointed end of their shoulder to peck at the sides of a volcano and pry off lava rocks that they then carry back to their nests. Because of their shiny, blue color and friendly demeanor, fustonin are often kept as pets and are a popular subject for many children's books, where they're referred to as "fussies".
#048 Dolli Buea
Dolli Buea are large creatures that inhabit the arboral wetlands. While they are generally large in size, they seem to be able to freely swim in even the smallest of puddles and are somehow able to fully submerge themselves and re-emerge in another body of water. The water any buea swims in becomes impossibly murky, making it impossible to see anything past the water surface.
#189 Stone Gool
Stone gools are incredibly powerful forest creatures with skin made of malleable stone. As they age, they grow additional sets of arms on a taller and taller frame until they max out around the same height as trees, at which point it becomes incredibly difficult for them to maneuver around the forest quickly. While they are young and smaller, however, they are extremely fast and extremely strong and have no known predators, using brute strength to take whatever they want from whoever they want.
#174 Sanguaven
The night ravens with luminous, blood-red eyes in the south are colloquially known as sanguavens, although they've had many names throughout history. Sanguaven eyes have a unique reflective property that redshifts light and amplifies its reflection, resulting in their bright red eyes being visible in even pitch darkness, sometimes even miles away. These "demon dots", as some historical societies called them, formed the basis for many mythological stories, most notably the "All-Seeing Eyes" by Ronaldo Dominico. Although sanguavens are better understood now, they still instill a sense of unease and anxiety in those who see their glowing eyes, even from afar.
#303 Fenngmoth
Fenngmoths are enormous moths with a wingspan of nearly 250 meters. They are strong enough to carry several tons at a time in their claws. They're able to fly very quickly for their size, and they will often swoop down to grab large animals from the ground. After catching a creature, fenngmonths store it in their devoursac until it is fully absorbed. Fenngmoths are normally only active at night. During the day, they hide in clouds.
#298 Goryth
Goryths are a species of omnivorous humanoids native to the world's greenest mountains. Their bodies are covered in black or dark brown fur and their feet are large and splayed, making them excellent at climbing and jumping. Their heads are large, with a pair of yellow eyes, a small, flat nose, and no mouth. They have long, prehensile tails with which they grab onto branches and climb trees.
#340 Skaða
The skaða are an ancient race of corrupted energy, capable of destroying entire planets in the blink of an eye. It is said that skaða lose one of their countless eyes every time they witness the death of another universe, and the Elder skaða is said to have only one eye remaining. Although skaða are capable of basic speech and throat singing, the sound they produce can only be heard by young girls. Skaða meat is a delicacy in the northernmost continent, where the once-diverse skaða populations have largely all migrated to.
#347 Spectrowl
This large avian is colloquially known as the "master of camouflage" because of the hard, spectral shards that cover its body. These scales contain thousands of prisms that capture ambient light and reflect a perfect representation of an uninterrupted atmosphere, effectively rendering the spectrowl invisible at most wavelengths. Because spectrowl shards are so delicate, their system camouflage can easily be damaged or disrupted in the event of a physical injury; when this happens, they have been known to reflect laser-focused beams of light that may temporarily or permanently blind those nearby. In ancient times, spectrowl were thought to be creatures from another dimension and were purposefully injured at large gatherings to produce great spectacles of light.
#180 Scordul
Scorduls are large, slow-moving amorphous blobs of flesh and bone that live in the forest. They are nocturnal and will often hide in caves or behind rocks, waiting for prey to come close. They can also camouflage themselves by changing their shape through a complicated bone-reconfiguration process or by coating themselves with a thin membrane of clear mucus that reflects light and smell. They are highly poisonous and will often lay in wait for days or weeks for the perfect time to strike their prey. A scordul bite is extremely painful, and anyone unfortunate enough to survive an encounter will likely lose at least the limb in which the bite occurred, but maybe more.
