#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.

#050 Mahaman

Mahaman that are humanoid birds that exist partially outside of time, which manifests visually with the eponymously-named phenomenon mahamans are known for: superpositions of their body in several simultaneous slices of time appear in tandem to others, which results in creatures that look blurry, morphing, and duplicated.

#038 Gyrom

Gyroms are genetically-engineered giraffe variants that not only have significantly more fat and muscle, but also produce a thin protein film on their skin that absorbs back into the meat to ultimately provide more than double the protein per pound of meat compared to traditional meat competitors. Flocks of gyrom are kept in densely-packed, travel-ready "meat box" cages that take advantage of the gyrom's intentionally-designed height and slimness by lining the tall cage's ceiling with a universally-available feeder. In long-term storage, cages are typically stacked vertically with special biomech attachments that recycle food for lower cages from the excrement of upper cages.

#016 Xylach

Xylaches are sprawling reptilian creatures that tend to migrate toward popular human beaches to feed off the trash and food left behind. Although one xylach could easily match twenty or more people in power, they largely remain docile and, at most, loudly grunt towards beach-goers for scraps. Rather than trying to remove them or going to different beaches, people have largely learned to just ignore xylaches.

#088 Fustonin

Fustonins are small, blue birds that live near active volcanoes. They are extremely light and can fly at speeds of up to 300 mph. They have no beaks and instead use the hard, pointed end of their shoulder to peck at the sides of a volcano and pry off lava rocks that they then carry back to their nests. Because of their shiny, blue color and friendly demeanor, fustonin are often kept as pets and are a popular subject for many children's books, where they're referred to as "fussies".

#371 Tangleweaver

If you find this strange egg nestled in leaves in the darkest part of the forest, do not touch it. Run as far and as fast as you can. Those who come too near the tangleweaver will be entranced, and fall into a deep sleep while vines grow over their bodies, hiding what was done. When the tangleweaver hatches, it will crawl into and infect the victim, using the body as a disguise to mingle with humans. It will suck on the souls of the humans around it for years, until the day it has grown large and strong enough to break free of its human suit and begin feasting on flesh.

#048 Dolli Buea

Dolli Buea are large creatures that inhabit the arboral wetlands. While they are generally large in size, they seem to be able to freely swim in even the smallest of puddles and are somehow able to fully submerge themselves and re-emerge in another body of water. The water any buea swims in becomes impossibly murky, making it impossible to see anything past the water surface.

#189 Stone Gool

Stone gools are incredibly powerful forest creatures with skin made of malleable stone. As they age, they grow additional sets of arms on a taller and taller frame until they max out around the same height as trees, at which point it becomes incredibly difficult for them to maneuver around the forest quickly. While they are young and smaller, however, they are extremely fast and extremely strong and have no known predators, using brute strength to take whatever they want from whoever they want.

#238 Kinkingo

Kinkingo are small, aquatic rodents best known for their unique camoflage routine. These small creatures gradually fade to a dark grey color while sleeping, helping them blend in with barnacles and coral they typically nest in. When a kinkingo awakes, however, it instantaneously mimics the colors of it's immediate surroundings and keeps these colors until it next falls asleep. Depending on the region, some kinkingo have been observed to sleep five to six times a day, or more during mating season.
