A wild creature appears!

Trogurp

Trogurps are small, brightly-colored insects that are typically found in the forests of the world. They eat leaves and other plant matter and are covered in a thick chitinous shell. Male trogurps can be aggressive towards one another and will duel for the right to mate with a female. These duels are often deadly and can take place for hours, with the victor often being a trogurp that has lost most of its legs or wings. After finding a mate, the wounded trogurp will hitch a ride on its new mate until its limbs have grown back.

#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.

#046 Camp Spirit

Camp spirits only appear in cases where a human body has been burned alive and left alone. It's unclear how they form, but scientists have narrowed it down to something in the bones reacting to long-term exposure to ashes. They were common during the witch trials and often reproduced through a method of indirect induction, wherein they'd intentionally cause mischief that led to suspicions of more witches. Camp spirits are much rarer nowadays, but not entirely extinct. They've evolved to live much longer and learned a system of governance that allows them to induce new generations through coordinated mischief and subterfuge on nearby human towns.

#051 Akaru

Akaru are a small, domesticated breed of dragons originally popularized by farmers in the east. Fully grown, most akarun won't even reach your knees. They're bred for vivid colors and make great pets who love to fly around and bring their owner back small trinkets.

#008 Zoupir

Zoupir are small, insect-like pigs that travel underground, in packs. They feed primarily off dirt and roots, sucking nutrients from crops and vegetation in the area. They are an invisible pest, but farmers with a little know-how know how to spot signs of their presence.

#231 Ephflynne

Ephflynnes are enormous creatures that swim through the air at speeds of up to one thousand miles per hour. They're completely translucent, but they can change the wavelength of light they reflect to blend in with their surroundings or to make themselves visible. They eat massive amounts of vapor every day, which they track and locate by following a pheremone known as sugreth. An ephflynne can grow to be ten miles long and can live for hundreds of years.

#166 Zaigarch

Zaigarchs are translucent jellyfish-like creatures that live in the magma chambers of their planet. They have bioluminescent organs that allow them to be seen in the dark recesses of their native caves, and the light they emit provides ocular nutrients to the other aquatic creatures nearby. They have no natural defenses and are very easy prey for larger animals. Zaigarchs reproduce asexually while being digested in other aquatic animals' stomaches.

#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.

#300 Orimpa

Orimpas are small and fluffy creatures that resemble a cross between a squirrel and a small cat. They have large ears and a long, bushy tail, and their bodies are covered in soft, gray fur. Some regional variations also develop white or orange spots in their fur. Orimpas are extremely intelligent and have excellent memories; they also have a good sense of smell and can hear very low-frequency sounds. Orimpas are generally peaceful creatures, but are known to become very violent when threatened. They live in large groups and spend most of their time foraging for food. Their favorite food is acorns and sunflowers, which they crush on rocks to form a mixed powder that they sprinkle on other foods for flavor.

#363 Wrappit

Meet the wrappit! These mischievous creatures are often found traveling by hitching rides on discarded wrapping paper or nestled inside gifts. With their small, gremlin-like bodies and scruffy fur, wrappits are sure to make a memorable impression to those who least expect them. Although they may look cute and cuddly, wrappits are known for their love of chaos and mischief. They have a particular fondness for shredding paper, whether it's the wrapping paper from a present or important documents left lying around. They particularly like paper that has been written on, and even moreso like paper which contains written fiction or worldbuilding. One fun detail about wrappits is their love of practical jokes. They have been known to hide in cupboards and jump out to surprise unsuspecting passersby, to switch the contents of gift boxes, to steal cookies and other treats, or to rearrange decorations in the dead of night. As for their diet, wrappits are known to munch on bits of paper and ribbon with their cookies, as well as the occasional piece of fruit or veggie. They have a particular fondness for pine cones and holly berries. But don't let their mischievous nature fool you — wrappits are also fiercely loyal friends. They have a special bond with those who show them kindness and respect, and will go out of their way to bring joy and laughter to their human companions.
