#088 Fustonin

Fustonins are small, blue birds that live near active volcanoes. They are extremely light and can fly at speeds of up to 300 mph. They have no beaks and instead use the hard, pointed end of their shoulder to peck at the sides of a volcano and pry off lava rocks that they then carry back to their nests. Because of their shiny, blue color and friendly demeanor, fustonin are often kept as pets and are a popular subject for many children's books, where they're referred to as "fussies".

#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.

#100 Ignadian

The ignadians are vaguely amorphous cave toads who live in the deepest underground lakes of the world, especially near volcanos. Because they spend much of their time in a liquid state, they have developed the ability to survive at extremely high temperatures. Their core bodies are shaped like small stars and glow a brilliant orange-red. It is believed that the ignadians were the first cave toads to come into being, and that some of the first ignadians may still be alive today.

#237 Armal phix

Strictly, the armal family of creatures are collectively results of sudden biological mutations on the common house dog after an exposure to aether mist. Although the biological change is minimal, the extreme difference in temperament and behavior has earned the armals their own classification. The phix mutation often results in a disproportionate growth of long hair from the joints and a painful extension of the skull. Armal phix are terribly aggressive and will attack anything that moves, regardless of whether it is threatening or could be eaten. The armal phix is a menace to many cities due to their quick reproduction cycle and ability to prey on small city animals for survival. If you see an armal phix anywhere near city limits, you should immediately report it to the authorities.

#172 Krangof

Krangofs are most notable for their pungent odor and high-pitched, loud calls. They are largely-solitary, aggressive scavengers and maim any other animal that they perceive as a threat. Their sharp teeth are formed into a single, solid, serrated blade. Krangofs are the only creature completely impervious to the venomous bite of a poxip, among many other poisons. Krangofs are very smart and sometimes work together in small groups to hunt the animals that they need to survive, although they are untrustworthy and will backstab others to gain more food for themselves after completing the hunt.

#269 Oceanstar

The oceanstar is a common salt-water marine mollusk. Oceanstars got their name from sailors who could just barely make out twinkling lights beneath the ocean waves in the pitch of night. Oceanstars are herbivores that feed on microplants and detritus that settle along the ocean floor. Although oceanstars are beautiful to look at from afar, touching one may permanently damage its ability to emit light.

#291 Vorivo'r

The vorivo'r is a small alpine creature that lives in the snowy mountains. It is covered in burred fur, with a small round body and a large head. It is about the size of a human hand, and feeds on small insects and worms. Vorivo'rs run with a distinctive, scuttling gait that is easy to mistake for a spider. During warmer winters, vorivo'rs will burrow deep underground to hibernate. While hibernating, they snore so loudly the ground may rumble at times.

#285 Vcunkrx

The behemoth vcunkrx are the center of the desert ecosystem, or at least the top of it. Vcunkrx are extremely resilient to both internal and external threats and can survive for years without water or food, instead drawing their energy from the ambient heat of the desert and the kinetic energy of compacted sand. Unlike most other organisms, vcunkrx aren't a carbon-based life-form; rather, their underlying genetic composition consists of a material similar to ceramics, which is believed to have resulted in their solid, hard bodies. Vcunkrx horns are worth a fortune to poachers, but are almost impossible to acquire.

#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.
