#370 D'eggio
This fearsome matriarch stalks egg-laying creatures in swamps and wetlands until it finds the perfect time to strike, then takes over their prey's egg-laden nest as if it were their own. D'eggios will lay on top of eggs for days or weeks at a time while tendril-like spikes on their underside piece each egg with microscopic holes and inject their own DNA directly into the egg, resulting in abominable mutant creatures that are more like d'eggios than their original species, although both parts often show through. Although most d'eggio offspring don't live long enough to reproduce, some variants can completely take over an entire biome with the right genetics.
#009 Rappariffian
Rappariffians have never had a confirmed sighting, but cultures throughout history have always told stories of some form of them, albeit with different names. These spectral presences weave themselves through dimensional planes, occasionally passing through our physical dimension. Stories are inconsistent on whether they're completely silent or screaming banshees.
#028 Ala Dimio
Ala dimios (commonly also referred to as just "alas") are descendents of ancient, magical dragons. While they lack the magical prowess of their ancestors, they've thrived physically and dominate the highest skies with wind attacks and a gigantic hammerhead.
#154 Sizzten muette
The ancient sizzten muette has been a staple of oasis and river life for longer than most other species, acting largely as a peacekeeper among other species over the years. Sizzten muettes can typically be found sipping from water sources and synthesizing food from proteins found in the water. Although they typically have short lifespans, they reproduce frequently and in large numbers. Fully-grown muettes typically range from 7 to 9 feet tall.
#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.
#346 An fwo dur
An fwo dur share the majority of their DNA with an extinct armadillo-like creature that used to terrorize the mountainside. Unlike their ancestors, however, an fwo dur stand upright on two legs and reach heights of over nine feet tall. These intelligent creatures tower over the more primitive species in their ecosystem, both physically and intellectually; an fwo dur often use tools, build transient infrastructure, and communicate through disjoint chromatic aberrations which can also cause confusion and dizziness in other species.
#357 Senna
It seems like the average senna lifespan is longer than that of the universes it inhabits. This large, snake-like creature has somehow evolved a form of inter-dimensional travel to escape the inevitable heat death of most universes. Sennae are unfathomably large, sometimes stretched across three or four universal dimensions when fully extended. These mysterious creatures have no known predators nor prey. Eons ago, people used to believe they could see sennae traveling through distant universes in the night sky, but science has long since "proved" that such a sight would be physically impossible given their size. History debates the authenticity of several allegedly-verified sightings.
#177 Luneptera
The luneptera are a rarely-seen race of intelligent humanoid beetle that claim to be related to fairies. Not much is known about lunepteras other than recorded observations from times when they were more common to see, but it is written that their skin is covered in chitin that only reflects moonlight, making them invisible during the day (and on moon-less nights). Luneptera are a generally friendly race, although they've had some notable issues with mankind in the past. Luneptera also love stealing and wearing human hats and clothing, especially during their holiday celebrations; they seem to be particularly fond of long dresses, overcoats, and tall hats.
#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.
