#094 Dryph
Dryphs are a rare and elusive type of creature. They are said to be born from the clouds, and are occasionally seen floating above them. They levitate high in the air, intently watching life on the surface. Their whiskers are said to provide longevity and health when steeped in tea and their soft, fuzzy hide makes for beautiful garments and gowns.
#106 Sidjif
The sidjif is a large, snakelike creature that is commonly used as a mount for the orcs and goblins of the world. Their massive bodies can grow up to 60 feet in length, and are powerful and muscular enough to support the weight of ten riders. They have four hearts, a large mouth, and several eyes that can be found on their head, neck, and body. They are very trusting and have been known to forge strong bonds with the riders that they are paired with. Their name comes from the sound that they make when they are pleased or hungry, which follows a short, warbling beat.
#027 Mipurd Ballow
Mipurd Ballows are a small, primitive species of salamander that are found in the deepest cavities of melting ice sheets. They are extremely hardy and can survive in almost any environment, but they are slow-moving and are often considered weak by other living creatures. Mipurd Ballows are also extremely territorial and will fight to the death to defend their territory, which rarely goes well for them.
#103 Mountain Widow
The mountain widow is a spider that lives in the snowy mountains of the world. It is well adapted to the climate, as it burrows into the snow and stays underground until it is disturbed by the vibrations of footsteps. While underground, mountain widows will enter a meditative state of extreme focus where they listen to the vibrations of the mountain to "see" what creatures are moving where. For fun, they make thick webs in inactive volcanoes and calderas. When ignored, mountain widow webs typically last for centuries before erosion wears them down, often connecting multiple mountain ranges as groups of mountain widows migrate together.
#211 Dromlek
Dromleks are intelligent, flightless birds that originate from a far-off galaxy where gravitational directionality frequently changes, and dromleks therefore evolved omni-directional legs to compensate for sudden directional shifts. They are able to form complex sentences, but their voices are so muffled by their many feet that they are rarely able to communicate with other animals, including other dromleks. In their free time, they enjoy making muffled music with their mouths, observing the omnidirectional growth of trees native to their planet, and going on long, difficult walks.
#203 Hakaji
Hakaji are small, dimorphic reptilian creatures with a bug-like head and legs. Hakaji bodies are extremely light, allowing them to briefly float even in still air. They spend most of their time up in the sky soaring on the thermals, and can occasionally be spotted doing terrific acrobatics while freefalling through the air. Shock-absorbant properties in the hakaji legs enable them to always land gracefully, even from hundreds of feet in the air.
#377 Ferquill Lumiskimmer
Emerging from the ethereal mists of ancient enchanted lakes and mystical wetlands, the Ferquill Lumiskimmer is a creature of legends. With a body reminiscent of a ferret intertwined with the celestial wisps of a quill, this magical being has the power to dance effortlessly atop water, leaving behind a trail of shimmering stardust. Its feet, imbued with ancient spells, touch the water's surface, invoking ripples that sparkle like a thousand tiny stars. As twilight descends, the Lumiskimmer's silhouette, glowing softly, becomes a beacon of magic in the dimming world. To witness a Ferquill Lumiskimmer is to be touched by a fragment of the universe's oldest enchantments.
#178 Xi'gind
The xi'gind is an unintelligent creature that shares more DNA with terrestrial flora than fauna. A single xi bulb, given the proper care and environment, can sprout a newborn xi'gind within a matter of weeks. Although the xi'gind head then grows vertically out of the soil, xi'ginds also accelerate root-like growth of fleshy appendages that can grow from the ground over a hundred yards away. It is currently unknown how the xi'gind controls these remote appendages, as they don't seem to share a physical connection with the head.
#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.
