#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.

#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.

#117 Gomligu

The gomligu is an large creature that resembles a rabbit, but with a long tail and thick, grey patches of rubbery skin. The gomligu is a rather shy and timid creature that flees readily, but they can occasionally be seen wandering about in enchanted forests on their hind legs if you're quiet enough to sneak up on one. While it's generally thought to be good luck to see a gomligu, it is strongly advised you never chase one.

#146 Forsydifs

Forsydifs are a variant of ant that has evolved to live on the backs of humanoids, from whom they eat dead skin cells. They spend most of their lives crawling between the dermis and epidermis of their hosts and are capable of surviving on just dead skin and perspiration for their entire lives. They do not harm their hosts and are considered to be beneficial as they clean the skin and help prevent infection.

#311 Quammoth

The quammoth (a portmanteau of "aqua" and "mammoth" popularized by the eastern Squib coasters) is an aquatic mammoth-like mammal that calls oceanic vents home. These gigantic creatures are too large and heavy to swim; instead, they stand on four thick legs and walk along the seafloor. Quammoths offset their limited mobility by using dozens of lengthy tentacles to defend themselves, hunt small fish for food, and manipulate their environment. These tentacles have a stiff, wood-like skin that ancient Squib used to make canoes out of.

#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.

#317 Gurdigoot

A gurdigoot is a small, scaly creature that has two eyes, two forelegs, and a long tongue. It is generally not very intelligent, but it is capable of rudimentary speech and is able to understand basic commands from humans. It lives in small groups of about ten gurdigoots and forages for food in the forests during the day. It returns to its hidden nest at dusk and will sleep until dawn. It has a strong sense of smell and can often be found hunting down large animals, such as elk or moose.

#296 Jaxilith

Jaxilives are large shapeshifters that appear as a swarm of blue flies when dormant. When a jaxilith is threatened, it will transform into a larger worm-like creature. This njaxilith form is covered in sharp red scales and flies with a small set of translucent wings that emit a small amount of blue light. Jaxilith temperament is short and aggressive, quickly swarming and overwhelming any potential threats to their home. Nowadays, the remaining jaxilives are said to live in underground caverns, where they indiscriminately prey on anything that isn't blue. Experimental testing of a severed jaxilith lens revealed that blue is actually the one color this small shapeshifter can't physically see. Some cultures have historically dissolved ground Kjaxilith scales into teas as a precursory version of antidepressants. Although the jaxilith presents itself as a swarm of flies while dormant, it's still only a single decentralized organism — and just as lonely.

#279 Musrusqua

Musrusquas are small, intelligent mammals slightly resembling molerats who live in and under forests. Musrusqua skin is made of a durable chitin scaling that make them incredibly resilient to predators. These small creatures are best known by adventurers and travelers who frequent the publicweald, where they routinely yell at human passerbys in their harsh, squealing language. Underground, musrusquas are unrivaled in speed; their long, sharp claws can pierce through hard stone as easily as they can dig through dirt.
