#098 Amber
Ambers are the bane of a sailor's life and have driven many towns inland, away from the waters. After emerging from most sandy shorelines at night, they sit quietly upon rocks, physically reflecting picturesque faces from your most haunting memories.
#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.
#011 Ssene
Ssenes are strange, shapeshifting creatures that configure parts of their body to mimic specific features of any creatures they see, rather than transforming into a copy of their whole body. This "bioremixing" property typically results in horrible, unnatural amalgamations depending on what creatures each ssene has seen recently.
#152 Poxip
Poxips wander the deserts of the world during their remarkably-short lifetime for a creature of their size. They are covered in fluffy hair that provides shelter and warmth during the cold nights outside of their burrow. Poxips love to eat berries and fruits that grow on cacti. Poxips are also very active in the night and will run away when they see another living creature during the daylight. It is said that a poxip remembers every face it sees and will always be friendly to those who show friendliness towards it.
#219 Flailx
Flailx are oddball "fish" that photosynthesize their oxygen from the sun, severely limiting the nautical areas they may call home. However, flailx are extremely adept at holding their breath for long periods of time (sometimes for days!) and will venture into the deep sea to frolick along the seafloor alongside other schools of fish. They will, however, frequently return to the surface for more air and to re-warm their bodies in the sun after spending much time submerged. It is theorized that the flailx are a "reverse-evolution" of land mammals turned nautical, and that ancient flailx had long, spider-like legs.
#225 Astorvega
An astorvega is a slow, lumbering creature covered in a thick, brown fur. It is roughly the same size as a bear and has large, powerful claws on its forelimbs that help it dig through snow or into small holes to sleep. The astorvega is a solitary creature, moving slowly across the tundra and frozen plains, munching on grasses and shrubs. Although they typically live around 100 years, their maximum lifespan is thought to be at least a thousand years in ideal conditions. They are extremely docile creatures given their size, usually only retaliating if threatened. Astorvegas leave behind mounds of shedded fur any time the temperature rises even a little bit.
#281 Mazurath
The mazurath are a class of giant serpentine creatures that have lived in the deep recesses of the ocean for millennia, if not longer. Mazurath are peaceful creatures but, due to their immense size, sailors often attack them after mistaking them for common sea monsters. Inevitably, the only sailors that live to tell the tale of such mistakes are those who the mazurath lose interest in. A fully-grown mazurath can reach a length of over thirteen thousand meters and has a thick, muscular body with fin-like protrusions, which it uses for propulsion. Although the tips of their tentacles may sometimes breach the ocean surface, mazurath rarely leave the deepest ocean depths.
#288 Korod
A korod is a large, pale yellow bug with two large eyes and two long antennae. It has a single long leg on the underside of its body and two additional antennae on under its wings. It is an omnivore, eating both meat and plants. The korod is blind, deaf, and mute, but it has a keen sense of taste, smell, and touch. Korod are capable of walking, running, flying, and swimming.
#331 Vok'til
Vok'til are a rare race of reptile that can sometimes be found in dormant volcanos and other warm, cavernous mountains. Although they have small wings, they are incapable of flight; rather, they use their wings to aerodynamically change directions quickly when sprinting along the ground, and occasionally to slow their fall or glide when making large, vertical jumps along their cliffside. Vok'til have hollow, brittle bones that make them incredibly light but also fragile. Vok'til are very aggressive creatures and will chase (and attack) almost anything that moves, even if it's inedible.
