#069 Seullen

Seullen are large, humanoid predators that contort their bodies into the optical illusion of a large bird to lure in and pick a fight with other large predators. Nearby villages can hear the tell-tale sounds of these fights from the haunting laughter of the seullen. It is unclear whether they simply always win these fights or if they laugh so hard regardless of outcome.

#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.

#059 Croixstel

Croixstel are large bull-like creatures that produce an incredibly-thick coat of fur, which simultaneously makes most croixstel completely impervious (and unaware) of any and all physical contact, but also ultimately results in an inevitable death by overheating. Upon the death of a croixstel, traders from all over the world will swoop in to claim as much croixstel fur as they can sell.

#046 Camp Spirit

Camp spirits only appear in cases where a human body has been burned alive and left alone. It's unclear how they form, but scientists have narrowed it down to something in the bones reacting to long-term exposure to ashes. They were common during the witch trials and often reproduced through a method of indirect induction, wherein they'd intentionally cause mischief that led to suspicions of more witches. Camp spirits are much rarer nowadays, but not entirely extinct. They've evolved to live much longer and learned a system of governance that allows them to induce new generations through coordinated mischief and subterfuge on nearby human towns.

#025 Baibi

This small monkey navigates long distances by utilizing the bug-like wings on its back and can commonly be seen flying from forest to forest during the day. Their silhouette in flight mimicks those of birds, but birdwatchers with an eye for what to look out for claim it's a good omen to spot one.

#149 Softwalker

Softwalkers are a very strange and exotic beast that lives in the tundras of the world, connected to a specific species of plant in a symbiotic way. A softwalker has a very large, fluffy coat of hair that covers its entire body except for its face, which is surrounded by a fringe of long, white hair. Although their body is quite strong, the typical softwalker is rather cowardly, and will often run and hide at the first sign of danger. No matter the terrain, softwalkers never emit any sounds while walking or running.

#195 Blatheraxe

Blatheraxes are shapeshifting eels that live in the deepest depths of the ocean. They are able to stretch physical appendages from their malleable body and have been known to creatively lure curious divers to their deaths. Adult blatheraxes are typically around ten feet long and will wrap themselves around their prey in a spiral, squeezing tighter and tighter until the prey is crushed. They are extremely poisonous and have been known to consume sharks and other large predators that stray too deep into the ocean.

#316 Domestic Szon

For centuries, the nation-state of Szo have primarily fed their people with domestic szon and, in turn, fed their szon with their recently-deceased citizens. As a result, this domesticated variant of the deep-sea szon has taken on a deep symbolism for responsible population control. The domestic szon lacks the large mouth of its oceanic cousin and instead absorbs food particles through its gills, where it's filtered into the stomach. In times of crisis, Szo has been able to economically recover almost entirely from exports of an overabundance of szon.

#151 Zamperk

Zamperk are large, powerful creatures related to ancient dragons, but classified as a modern hydra. They are covered in thick dragon scales made of opaque crystals and have large, razor-sharp claws and teeth. They have long, whip-like tails with an accelerated regeneration factor that often not only heals all cuts and wounds, but also spawns additional, conjoined zamperk bodies as appendages. Zamperk scales are a common medicinal component when ground up into fine powder. Zamperks can also be found hibernating in large caves, particularly those found inset in mountainous terrain. Zamperks sometimes sleep for years at a time and are very difficult to wake up; however, whenever a zamperk awakens, they experience intense hunger and will hunt down the first living thing they see.
