#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.
#101 Dhagarem
Dhagarems are a common species of invisible beast that can be found across the world, but most commonly in unsettled areas. They are mostly nocturnal, but their shadows can sometimes be seen in the day if they wake up hungry. It is unclear what dhagarems actually eat.
#067 Winter Veln
Winter velns hide from predators by appearing flat or misfigured from a clever use of optical illusion camoflage, but they're actually typically very fat creatures. They eat snow and do a sort of reverse-photosynthesis, producing energy from darkness. Because of their plumpness, veln are a prized delicacy for almost every other creature in the famined tundras they inhabit. They strictly stick to a "reproduction cycle" that occurs approximately every six years, laying anywhere from sixty to eighty eggs per nest.
#230 Pinlup
The humble pinlup is a delightful breed of small animal common in wild areas near human settlements. It's a popular activity for parents to bring their kids out to play with pinlups, providing them with bread and berries to eat; in return, pinlups bless those they play with with good luck and fortune. Pinlup tongues are bright blue and used to be heavily poached for trophies, but the species' rapid population growth over the past decade has devalued any perceived rarity or uniqueness, allowing the species to thrive even further.
#165 Shaleel
The shaleel is a large, multi-colored reptile that inhabits the swamps and wetlands of Oorzh. Being mostly aquatic, the shaleel usually only comes to land when it is voluntarily wanting to shed its skin. Shaleels have a long, constantly-tapping tail that produces an electrical current that they use to incapacitate fish while hunting. When a predator or a new potential mate approaches, the shaleel will raise its tail high above its head and then slam it down; if the creature is a potential mate, the electrical current will cause an explosion of green sparkles that attracts the mate. If the creature is a predator, the explosion will usually ward it off.
#176 Vilcino
Vilcini are tiny creatures that are easy to see from afar due to their bright purple color. They live in grassy fields and forests and spend most of their time eating insects, nuts, and berries. The best place to find a vilcino is in a field where a thunderstorm is just ending and the sun is beginning to shine through the branches of the trees: vilcini hair is naturally water-resistant so their texture and movement will naturally stand out against wet, matted down plantlife, even in fields full of the purple ametheo flower that vilcini seek out for environmental camoflage.
#325 Rakiviz
The rakiviz is a large bird about the size of a human. They are covered in a thick layer of white feathers and have two muscular legs, each of which has up to ten talons. The rakiviz is usually docile, but when a full moon rises, they will cease all activity and begin to slowly circle the sky. If a person or creature looks directly into the eyes of a rakiviz or sees their reflection during this time, they will become frozen in place, unable to move or think until the rakiviz stops circling. Rakiviz that venture too close to civilization are aggressively hunted down or pushed back to the wilderness to avoid these "night concerts".
#328 Stregadurc
A stregadurc is a small creature that resembles a goblin. They are often found in suburban areas and feed on trash and other items that have been thrown away. They get their name from the strange noises they make, which sound like a combination of a scream and hiccup. Stregadurc organs are a delicacy for some Enhani tribes that live high in the mountains and keep these creatures as livestock in large, cavernous holes. Some wild stregadurcs have been seen crafting themselves basic clothing.
#362 Fjasdijh
Fjasdijh are slender cat-like creatures who dwell deep in caves and reproduce quickly, sometimes giving birth to litters of up to ten offspring at a time. They are nocturnal, spending their days sleeping in underground burrows and emerging at night to hunt for insects and small rodents which they drag back to their cave. Their fur is thick and dark, providing excellent camouflage. Fjasdijh are known for their sharp claws and teeth, which they use to catch and kill their prey. They are also agile climbers and can scale the walls and ceilings of caves with ease. In addition to their hunting skills, Fjasdijh are skilled at digging and have been known to create intricate tunnel systems within the caves they've inhabited. Despite their fearsome appearance and predatory habits, Fjasdijh are social creatures and live in large groups called prides. Within these prides, the Fjasdijh have a complex system of communication and cooperation, with each member playing a specific role in the group's activities.
