#069 Seullen
Seullen are large, humanoid predators that contort their bodies into the optical illusion of a large bird to lure in and pick a fight with other large predators. Nearby villages can hear the tell-tale sounds of these fights from the haunting laughter of the seullen. It is unclear whether they simply always win these fights or if they laugh so hard regardless of outcome.
#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.
#023 Jibini
The jibini race mutated from field mice in radioactive forests in the east. Over time, both their size and their hunger grew to colossal proportions; when they're not munching on trees to sustain an eternal hunger, they can be seen playing tunnel games with other jibinis and laughing.
#085 Worgrad
Worgrads are small desert-dwelling creatures that subsist on a diet of insects, light rays, and gusts of desert wind. They are very small, with large, black eyes and soft, sandy-colored fur that feels like sandpaper. Worgrads live in small burrows, consisting of large, open rooms connected by winding tunnels, which they build themselves out of desert sand, clay, and plant matter. They spend most of their day sleeping, but they are very active at night, and can sometimes be heard climbing across the ceilings of their burrows making mysterious clicking noises.
#087 Red-eyed Deepsquid
It's a rare occurrence for a red-eyed deepsquid to wash ashore, but certain coasts make a habit of it more often than others. It is unclear how the beached deepsquids we've seen have died, nor is it clear where in the deep oceans they call home. Deep-sea explorers have found no signs of them in any expedition and their origins and behaviors remain largely a mystery.
#047 Aledharo
Aledharen are slimy, blind creatures that wander deserts in search of warm rocks to lie on, where they'll typically sunbathe for weeks at a time. When an aledharo is hungry, it'll bury its head in the dunes and extend root-like tentacles that extract nutrients and groundwater from deep in the ground. The slime aledharen uniformly secrete from their body is disgusting both in taste and smell, and is a natural predator-deterrent.
#066 Stonemaker
Stonemakers inhabit deserts, fields, and mountains. They feed largely off rock and stone, always migrating to find new flavors and consistencies. Venom injected through a stonemaker bite will also turn most organic matter into a hardened stone within a matter of minutes or hours, depending on the size and hardiness of the victim. There is no known cure for the stonemaker's turn other than a fast amputation before the venom can spread. Stonemakers often flock to the statues they make in nature, sharing their kill with others of their tribe.
#316 Domestic Szon
For centuries, the nation-state of Szo have primarily fed their people with domestic szon and, in turn, fed their szon with their recently-deceased citizens. As a result, this domesticated variant of the deep-sea szon has taken on a deep symbolism for responsible population control. The domestic szon lacks the large mouth of its oceanic cousin and instead absorbs food particles through its gills, where it's filtered into the stomach. In times of crisis, Szo has been able to economically recover almost entirely from exports of an overabundance of szon.
#309 Vargon
Vargons are enormous, thick-skinned reptiles that form the natural apex predator in the kingdom of Skulnir. They are visibly descended from several different creatures and have four clawed feet and feathery wings, which are hidden beneath their thick, leathery skin. They have a mouth full of razor-sharp teeth and a long, whip-like tail that they use to hunt prey and defend themselves. Vargons are incredibly tough and muscular and will kill anything in their path; however, they are also very clever and will usually avoid confronting creatures larger than themselves, unless they are extremely hungry or highly provoked.
