A wild creature appears!

Artik-un

Artik-un are hoofed creatures domesticated for their speed, strength, and intelligence. Artik-un have an excellent sense of balance and can leap twenty times their height in the air, where they're also capable of contorting their body in response to wind pressure to ensure they always land hooves-down. An artik-un reaches full adult development after three years and have an average lifespan of 10 to 20 years.

#001 Haissa

Haissa are a friendly species distantly related to frogs. They spend most of their time climbing trees to find great vantage points to observe the ongoings of life below and have been known to purposefully shake branches to drop food for hungry creatures below.

#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.

#136 Bruvnur

Bruvnurs are large, black-and-white mammals that have demonstrated a high level of intelligence and inter-species communication. They are reknowned for their ability to quickly learn and take orders. In the wild, they are usually found in large groups that congregate in frozen cave systems. Bruvnurs are often hunted for their thick pelts, which sell for a handsome sum to the Academy.

#047 Aledharo

Aledharen are slimy, blind creatures that wander deserts in search of warm rocks to lie on, where they'll typically sunbathe for weeks at a time. When an aledharo is hungry, it'll bury its head in the dunes and extend root-like tentacles that extract nutrients and groundwater from deep in the ground. The slime aledharen uniformly secrete from their body is disgusting both in taste and smell, and is a natural predator-deterrent.

#052 D'Geft

D'geft are stone elementals that pass freely through mountains and stone, living solitary lives. Catching a d'geft binds his will to yours, enabling the binding one to control that d'geft's powers as if they were your own. When d'geft die, their souls weigh heavily on shifting tectonic plates that cause earthquakes and century-long ruptures that ultimately form a new mountain over time, which serves as an incubator for a new d'geft to eventually form within.

#176 Vilcino

Vilcini are tiny creatures that are easy to see from afar due to their bright purple color. They live in grassy fields and forests and spend most of their time eating insects, nuts, and berries. The best place to find a vilcino is in a field where a thunderstorm is just ending and the sun is beginning to shine through the branches of the trees: vilcini hair is naturally water-resistant so their texture and movement will naturally stand out against wet, matted down plantlife, even in fields full of the purple ametheo flower that vilcini seek out for environmental camoflage.

#263 Vindsmen

After the devastating CK-295 meteor impact, what little life survived on planet P-192-856B had to radically evolve in order to survive the planet's new radioactive atmosphere. Vindsmen were once a variant of the common earth ape whose DNA began to diverge shortly after being seeded onto the planet; however, the few changes that occurred prior to CK-295 were dwarfed by its impact. Vindsmen have largely migrated from forests and jungles to caves deep underground, where they eat mushrooms, small plants, and insects. Most notably, vindsmen have evolved an amorphous muscular system that allows them not only to reshape their body at will, but also to combine with other vindsmen into a singular entity. Although rare, some sightings have reported gigantic vindsmen clusters of hundreds of connected apes. Vindsmen have a short lifespan due to an extremely high frequency of cancer.

#338 Flarthog

Flarthogs are a species of wandering, burrowing creatures that look like tiny pink hedgehogs with giant ears. They have no concept of personal property and will take whatever they want from each other or people's homes, though once they have an object, they usually carry it around with them everywhere. Each flarthog has a unique personality, and some are known to be very aggressive. Their only source of food is a slimy bacterial organism that they grow on the underside of their quills, which commonly leads to bouts of cannibalism in some areas.

#177 Luneptera

The luneptera are a rarely-seen race of intelligent humanoid beetle that claim to be related to fairies. Not much is known about lunepteras other than recorded observations from times when they were more common to see, but it is written that their skin is covered in chitin that only reflects moonlight, making them invisible during the day (and on moon-less nights). Luneptera are a generally friendly race, although they've had some notable issues with mankind in the past. Luneptera also love stealing and wearing human hats and clothing, especially during their holiday celebrations; they seem to be particularly fond of long dresses, overcoats, and tall hats.
