#211 Dromlek
Dromleks are intelligent, flightless birds that originate from a far-off galaxy where gravitational directionality frequently changes, and dromleks therefore evolved omni-directional legs to compensate for sudden directional shifts. They are able to form complex sentences, but their voices are so muffled by their many feet that they are rarely able to communicate with other animals, including other dromleks. In their free time, they enjoy making muffled music with their mouths, observing the omnidirectional growth of trees native to their planet, and going on long, difficult walks.
#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.
#255 Squirmpod
Squirmpods are large, plant-like life forms often found in or around the greater rainforest regions. They are about the size of a small human and appear like a giant tree sprout, with a gray-brown trunk and a dark green, leaf-like canopy sprouting from the top that squirmpods passively absorb ambient nutrients from. Despite their stumpy appearance, they are surprisingly very fast and agile. To get around, they bend their trunk backward, quickly growing a new leg at the base of the trunk and leave their old leg behind. These broken-off leg sections will quickly grow roots of their own into the soil and become a new squirmpod to continue their species' rapid proliferation.
#268 Drullar
Drullars are small, terrestrial dragons with a skin made of transparent crystals. Drullars can range in color from a soft white to orange, with large red eyes and a dog-like snout. They are herbivorous and often live in forests and jungles, where they subsist on a diet of fruit and leaves. Drullars are also highly intelligent and possess a sophisticated system of belief that they communicate through musical notes that drullars produce through the horn-like protrusion atop their head.
#284 Senjfisk
Senjfisk use thousands of microscopic limbs to move sand around them, enabling them to effectively swim through sand and loose dirt. These nocturnal carnivores also undergo a biological stasis while sleeping, which completely stops all but their most vital autonomous functions, including breathing. On particularly hot desert days, senjfisk will often sleep in any oasis nearby, sometimes sleeping underwater for days or weeks at a time.
#344 Gavo
Gavo are small, porcupine-like creatures from outer space. Their quills perpetually burn red-hot, which protects them from almost every predator, and their claws are perfectly evolved for digging through almost any material, which has enabled gavos to largely own the underground. Interestingly enough, it seems that gavos significantly grow in size when exposed to the sun, yet most gavos spend every free moment burrowing deeper and deeper into the planet. It is unclear what gavos eat for sustenance. Although gavos are solitary creatures, they are capable of reproducing in large numbers extremely fast if they encounter another gavo underground.
#354 Loqui
Loqui are a small species of upright, bipedal reptiles that are best known for long-distance marches across flatlands like meadows, deserts, and plains in sizable migratory crowds. During the spring, loqui will gather in these immense crowds and begin their season-long march, picking up and/or leaving loqui in new locations along the way. The carefree sounds of a loqui march can often be heard from almost a mile away. The flowers that grow on the back of these reptiles have an interesting microcosm of pollination and cross-breeding, driven primarily by their migration. Solitary groups of loqui will find that their flowers will unify into a single color and shape over time, while traveling loqui will grow new kinds of flowers depending on the group they're in. Some large corporations own large loqui farms where they manage and breed their flocks for specific flowers, which they mass-harvest every fall for sale, often to medicinal or pharmaceutical companies.
#360 Jadyx
Jadyx are large, flightless birds whose metallic scales shimmer brightly in the moonlight, giving them a truly mesmerizing appearance. They are native to the dense, humid rainforests of the far south, where they can often be found foraging for fruit and small insects among the lush vegetation. Despite their impressive size, Jadyx are generally quite docile and peaceful creatures, preferring to avoid conflict whenever possible. However, they are fiercely protective of their young and will not hesitate to defend them if they feel threatened. In terms of ecology, Jadyx play a vital role in their ecosystem as seed dispersers, spreading the seeds of the fruit they eat throughout the rainforest. They are also an important food source for larger predatory animals, such as jaguars and pumas. Overall, the Jadyx are a vital part of the delicate balance of life in the southern rainforests.
#368 Avar shlin
The feared avar shlin is an intrusive pest originating from radioactive swamps and dark forests. This long wriggler is best known for the debilitating toxin it induces within the eyes of anyone that sees it. Something about the avar shlin's image projected on a human retina causes a chemical reaction that produces what has been known as avar sludge; this goo slowly dissolves the intricate structures within the eyeball, resulting in a rare form of incurable blindness where the victim can still see, yet can't understand what is being seen. Avar shlin have been known to decimate entire kingdoms from within. Despite their destructive potential, avar shlins are not aggressive by nature and prefer to avoid confrontations with larger creatures. They are nocturnal, and during the day they will burrow into the ground to avoid detection. Their diet consists mainly of small insects and rodents, but they have been known to scavenge for larger prey if necessary.
