#141 Wartbug
The large wartbug is native to warmer forests on southern coasts, but has slowly spread throughout the continents over the years. They are about as large as a dog and primarily feed on berries and small forest-dwelling rodents. Wartbug shells are renowned for their durability and often sell for a high price. When a Wartbug is threatened in the wild, they will dig their feet into the ground to anchor themselves in place and then hide within their shell; predators will eventually give up versus their inpenetrable shell, but hunters and merchants will typically just cut off the wartbug's legs and haul the large body back to civilization.
#239 Fyrial
The brilliant fire of a fyrial's eyes can be seen for miles and are the source behind many religious stories originating in ancient deserts. Although they are typically solitary creatures, they will sometimes come together in pairs or small groups to feed on a massive kill, earning goodwill within their local community. When a fyrial dies, its body is consumed in a violent explosion that burns it to ashes.
#212 Steevlen
The steevlen is an adorable creature that lives in the forests of the world. They are small, round lion-like creatures (usually about three feet tall) that love to hug and lick. Their saliva contains a mild poison that often can be used to stun attackers. Steevlen are typically pack hunters and live in large familial groups that claim any interesting geological formations in the area as their own, where they will often keep all of their spoils.
#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.
#185 Vuewex
Vuewex are a parasitic skin mite that measure a little under 1 nanometer in width and height. These small critters passively absorb kinetic energy from their host through a reversed osmosis process that looks similar to feeding. A vuewex infection is difficult to to treat due to their small size, but typically clears itself up within a week or two due to their short lifespan and inability to reproduce in most dermal environments. Vuewex are common on islands, where the humidity makes it easier for them to jump from particle to particle in the air towards their next host. Symptoms of a vuewex outbreak include rash, fatigue, and itching.
#303 Fenngmoth
Fenngmoths are enormous moths with a wingspan of nearly 250 meters. They are strong enough to carry several tons at a time in their claws. They're able to fly very quickly for their size, and they will often swoop down to grab large animals from the ground. After catching a creature, fenngmonths store it in their devoursac until it is fully absorbed. Fenngmoths are normally only active at night. During the day, they hide in clouds.
#273 Jideoray
Jideorays are a parasitic orange slime common in the warmer oceans that attaches itself to creatures to feed directly on their skin. Small fish will sometimes allow members of their school to host jideorays, as the toxic pheremone they produce also wards off most predators. Jideorays have a hard time keeping their host alive for long periods of time, but extend their lifespan somewhat by completely covering their eaten flesh with a bright orange jelly. In rare cases, some animals may find themselves completely enveloped by this orange slime while still alive. At this point the jideoray will often assume complete muscular control over the creature for the rest of its life.
#353 Frosthorn
Frosthorns are majestic creatures with white, shaggy fur and long, spiraling horns. They have sharp, pointed ears and a thick, curved tail that they use for balance and defense. Their eyes are a piercing blue, and they have large, powerful paws that are well-adapted for moving through snow and ice. Frosthorns are native to cold, snowy environments, such as the tundra and high mountain ranges. They are well-suited to these environments, with thick fur coats that keep them warm and feet that are adapted for walking on snow and ice. Frosthorns are herbivores, and feed on a variety of plants that grow in their cold, snowy habitats. They are also skilled hunters, and will occasionally prey on smaller animals, such as rabbits and hares. Frosthorns are known for their powerful and melodic calls, which can carry for miles across the snowy landscape. They use these calls to communicate with each other, and to defend their territory from other Frosthorns.
#096 Cerasuc
Cerasucs are large, furry mammals that live in deep caves and are often found in groups of 10 or more. They have a black coat and antlers that are prized for their ability to reflect light and light up dark spaces. They have excellent night vision and their hearing is also very acute, allowing them to sense predators from far away. They forage for mushrooms and other underground plants and make nests out of sticks and vines. These strange creatures have a stoic, aloof demeanor and very little interest in other species of animals. They are very shy and skittish creatures that go out of their way to stay away from humans, but will attack if provoked or frightened.
