#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.
#116 Nitenel
Nitenel are large, gentle creatures when domesticated. They have four heads, six folding wings, and a long, whip-like tail. They have no arms. Their eyes are a piercing red that contrasts their blue feathers beautifully; their beaks are small and each contain one small, venomous fang. Their diet consists mostly of small animals like rabbits, squirrels, and other birds.
#062 The Acolyte
Not much is known about the acolyte, including whether it's one creature or many. However, many travelers have reported that they've witnessed the acolyte while dying in nearby deserts. The description of the experience varies wildly from person to person, but those who've lived to tell the tale all agree on one thing: the acolyte asks you in your own language to use your dying breath to explain why you should keep living. If the acolyte likes your answer, you'll breathe again.
#280 Kora
The kora are an aquatic species of intelligent coral common in warmer ocean climates that have historically been an enabler of oceanic human societies in areas they couldn't otherwise exist. Although kora harden into a stony toughness after death (that can be used in everything from construction to weaponry), there's also a short window after their death in which they're still soft enough to cook. Kora reproduce quickly and often, often dominating their local ecosystem. In times where there aren't enough food sources, kora can also often be found floating along the water's surface where they use a variation of photosynthesis to absorb energy from sunlight.
#257 Volagena
Volagenas are a species of squid-like creatures that are also extremely large. They are carnivorous and exist as top-level predators in their environment. They use their powerful tentacles to gracefully move through the water, and can even use them to grip obstactles for leverage and throw themselves at high speeds through the water. Adult volagenas rarely venture out of the deep oceans, but when they do they are often a terror to the entire ecosystem, as well as any passing ships.
#313 Koben
Kobens are small, furry creatures that have sharpened claws and retractable spikes on their backs. They are generally non-violent and don't attack humans unless provoked. They are foragers that search for food for most of the day, but also enjoy digging holes in the ground to hide from larger predators. Koben often rub their back-spikes against tree trunks which results in deep, noticeable gashes. Male kobens develop a bright pink coloring later in life, while females may sometimes develop patches of white fur.
#352 Glimmerwisp
Glimmerwisps are small, fairy-like creatures with translucent, glowing wings. They have delicate, elongated features and shimmer in a variety of colors depending on their mood and surroundings. Glimmerwisps are often found in forests and meadows, where they can easily hide among the plants and flowers. They are also drawn to sources of light, such as torches and fireflies, and can often be seen flitting about in the darkness. Glimmerwisps feed on nectar and small insects, and are known for their playful and curious nature. They are also highly social creatures, often forming large communities and working together to protect their territory. Glimmerwisps have the ability to create and manipulate light, using it to communicate with each other and to create dazzling displays.
#366 Hastdre
In the furthest reaches of the coldest tundras where visibility reaches near-zero with even your hand right in front of your face, the mechabionic hastdre dominate the area with metallic skin and no need to eat. These hastdre are able to sustain themselves with solar energy, absorbing sunlight through their fiber-optic mane and converting it into energy. Even when intense blizzards block out the sun for days or weeks at a time, hastre will enter a low-energy hibernation mode until their power source is accessible again. Hastdre are highly intelligent creatures, able to communicate with each other through electronic signals and even able to hack into electronic systems or each other. They are fiercely territorial, protecting their territory with advanced weapons systems built into their bodies. They are also known to be quite aggressive, attacking any intruders on sight. Despite their metallic exterior, hastdre are not immune to injury and must occasionally repair themselves. They have the ability to regenerate lost limbs and repair damaged areas by consuming metal and other materials to rebuild their bodies. While the hastdre are primarily solitary creatures, they do form small groups or "packs" during mating season. These groups can consist of up to 10 individuals, and the dominant hastdre will be in charge of defending the territory and leading the pack. The mating process for hastdre is quite elaborate, involving elaborate courtship rituals and displays of strength and intelligence.
#183 Portal Jian
Portal jians are large, immobile creatures that grow in cultivated farmlands and exhibit a physical mystery still unexplained by science: the portal jian's body always contains at least one large hole or gateway that can be passed through for instantaneous travel to a nearby jian's portal. Scientists are unsure how this instantaneous travel works scientifically, but researchers are beginning to map out how a jian decides which other jian(s) to connect to. Because so little is known about the portal jian, the species' existence is tightly controlled and monitored by the government in secure labs; until they were confident there were no jians left in the wild, the public sector was filled with paid mercenery work to locate and capture these mysterious creatures.
