#002 Quixole
This highly-intelligent bug establishes and oversees mutli-special insect colonies using a pheromone that encourages teamwork. Large sales of their serum are government-controlled and extremely expensive, but large cities typically keep at least a few quixoles for as-needed infusions into the city's water supply.
#086 Jhinx
The noble jhinx is an ancient race of sphinx that escaped global disaster and found a new home among the deep jungles in the world, where it lived for several thousand years before being rediscovered as an entirely new species. Jhinx seem to be capable of replicating the natural sounds of any other animal it encounters and superstitious folk believe it has the ability to converse with any other animal in their own tongue, including humans. No reported human-jhinx conversation has ever been verified.
#147 Herling
The herling is a small bird about the size of a housecat. They are mostly harmless, but are often pests because of their tendency to steal and hoard shiny objects. A herling will take any object that catches their eye, including jewelry, coins, pencils, pens, forks, spoons, knives, scissors, and anything else they can carry. They usually hide these objects in the hollows of trees or other dark recesses of their environment. They are also known for the bright red feathers that emit a slight luminescent glow in low light.
#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.
#118 Herenella
Herenellas are seahorse-like creatures whose bodies form non-euclidean shapes. They feed on ambient temperature differences deep in the ocean. These creatures are very intelligent and will often be found in tight clusters of dozens to hundreds. Herenellas use their long, malleable snouts to communicate with each other, forming a complex language that uses matter-shifting for intonation. While herenellas can also breathe out of water, they rarely have any reason to leave their food source in the ocean depths.
#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.
#253 Mawtok
Mawtokes are highly territorial creatures that lurk in the oceans of the world. They are only visible when they are swimming in sunlight and can remain motionless underwater for days at a time. If they decide to attack, they will rise out of the water and dig their powerful tentacles into the ground to move, and they will drag themselves and their prey back into the ocean, even if the mawtok is several miles from the shore. Mawtokes can store a large amount of water inside a specialized sac in their abdomen that lets them breathe for up to six hours while on land.
#260 Bulthoid
Bulthoids are rare creatures that live in almost every environment. Despite their strange appearance, bulthoids are actually a very intelligent race, capable of tool use and engineering. Bulthoid society is built on a system of meritocratic communism with a focus on community support and direct communication, where everyone votes and participates in the political processes of their community. This inherent group effort makes bulthoid societies extremely resiliant to both local predators and more existential threats in their chosen ecosystems.
#329 Alsjepsel
The alsjepsel is a large reptile-mammal hybrid that frequents acidic swamps in the southern hemisphere. The alsjepsel were first discovered by Nin adventurers that mistook them for a demon and started a century-long crusade to wipe them out, which left a nearly extinct population. These days, alsjepsel have mostly been able to repopulate, but keep to themselves and stay far away from humans when possible. When threatened they may attack, but otherwise the alsjepsel is a generally docile herbivore.
