#060 Brugnul

Brugnuls are microscopic parasites that can be found in most environments. They are commonly found in the bodies of other creatures, but can also be found on the ground, in water, and in the air. They are extremely hard to detect, and can be difficult to remove if they are located in the brain or other vital organs, where they can cause a variety of symptoms. Brugnuls are extremely resilient and almost always outlive their hosts.

#030 Urryn-ast

Urryn-ast are always on the hunt for humans on the verge of death and will track their prey for days at a time. They consume deceased bodies whole and, in doing so, memorize a sequence of the consumed DNA as a part of their complex digestive process. After their feast, Urryn-ast will often shapeshift into the consumed creature and retrace their path back to others, hoping to get closer to their next meal.

#072 Mevi

Mevi is an ancient snake that's survived for hundreds of thousands of years, outliving all other intelligent life on the planet. It has developed an extraordinary taste for confusion in its prey, and so it plays intricate tricks on unsuspecting victims before they become dinner.

#006 Dune Beetle

Dune beetles are the speedsters of the desert. You wouldn't expect it given their colossal size, but these severely-overgrown bugs can reach speeds of over a hundred miles per hour across flat land. Their flight, however, is much slower and more controlled. It's a shame the dune beetle is so aggressive and temperamental, because it would make a great domesticated vehicle for those who live in the desert.

#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.

#158 Taia

The taia is an ancient creature that has a history on this world that started long before humans. The taia appears visually as a hovering being of luminescent shadows that uproots entire trees in the vicinity to weightlessly orbit around it. As the taia continues on its eternal trek around the globe, it gently replants each tree in an ever-changing trail behind it. It is said that most trees spend about a thousand years per spot (referred to as a "tree lifetime") thanks to the taia's influence. Not much else is known about the taia or its powers.

#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.

#327 Henevaspider

Henevaspiders are small creatures about the size of a schoolbus that are found in the mountains. They have dozens of long, thin legs, which have a sticky fluid on the underside of them, allowing them to cling to even the most treacherous rocky surfaces. Their bodies are soft and fragile and are covered with tiny, thin hairs; the hairs act like a web to capture small insects and bring them to the henevaspiders' mouths. Henevaspiders usually live in small communities of about fifty of themselves and will sometimes steal and ransom the eggs of other creatures in exchange for tasty offerings.

#358 Mollang

Mollang are small marsupials often found throughout wetlands and jungles. They live long lives despite the poisonous fungus that commonly grows on their short fur, which also protects them from most predators thanks to the highly-contagious nature of the fungi's toxins. However, these same toxins keep the mollang in a perpetually semi-sick state where they constantly sneeze and leak fluids that can cause physical damage to trees, brush, and other animals. Although each mollang builds up a small tolerance to their own fur's toxins, they rarely spend enough time with other mollang to expand that protection; therefore, mollang often live long, solitary, sickly lives and are actively avoided by nearly all other life that may cross their path.
