A wild creature appears!

The Acolyte

Not much is known about the acolyte, including whether it's one creature or many. However, many travelers have reported that they've witnessed the acolyte while dying in nearby deserts. The description of the experience varies wildly from person to person, but those who've lived to tell the tale all agree on one thing: the acolyte asks you in your own language to use your dying breath to explain why you should keep living. If the acolyte likes your answer, you'll breathe again.

#065 Aetyl Squid

Aetyl squids swim through sand like their aquatic cousins do through water. They survive off a primarily-meat diet that are captured either by trap or a surprise emergence from the sand, dragging their prey back underground. The aetyl squid also mixes sand with pungent ink to preserve leftover food for a long time.

#126 Fexodo

Fexodos are small, furry animals that somewhat resemble a cross between a bat and a mouse. They live in herds of around fifteen and need very little food, subsisting mainly on insects and fruits. Fexodos are social and affectionate animals, and are often kept as pets by humans. When frightened, they temporarily inflate their body to three times its normal size.

#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.

#040 Menta

Menta tunnel their long, fish-looking tails through the seafloor and bait larger fish into biting it. The menta use a low-level form of mind control to then will the fish into the real menta body's mouth. Mentas have no known age or size limit and seem to grow 1-2 additional tails every decade, which continue to grow in length over time and can be independently controlled.

#295 Digo gaur

Digo gaur are a domesticated breed of zainko whose closest genetic common ancestor is the pig. Digo gaur were first discovered at the Last Refuge in the far north at the end of the second era and were bred in large numbers for food before the gaur ultimately ran wild with a power vacuum in the ecosystem. Ages ago, schoolkids used to school each other on the little-known fact that digo gaurs were the only living animal capable of surviving a decapitation. Over several millennia, digo gaurs began to evolve wilder variations of smaller and smaller heads, presently culminating in an elongated neck terminating in a hypersensitive nerve feeler.

#305 Goursherpoid

Goursherpoids are aggressive reptiles that have large, flat sensors in their eye which allows them to see every wavelength of light. They have a long t tail that they can use defensively to whack their predators, and they have a bone behind their eyeballs that allows them to move their body in any direction. They are aggressive, but not territorial, and will often pick fights with other goursherpoids for sport. They will kill other animals for food, but not for sport. When fighting, their tail is used to grab their opponent and hold them in place and their claws are then used to tear their prey apart.

#258 Tarodo

Tarodos are dangerous cave-dwelling creatures. Their long tentacles are able to find and grasp prey from far away to drag it into their subterranean lairs. Tarodos usually hunt alone from the safety of their lair, but sometimes a few tarodos will group up to work together and overwhelm larger prey. While their sticky, venomous tentacles are a threat to most animals, some fish are able to swim up the tentacles and into the tarodo's mouth to retrieve half-digested fish scraps, as the tarodo's hooked tentacles struggle to grab small things that are moving quickly up the tentacle.

#306 Gruntmrub

Gruntmrubs are small, furry, tree-dwelling creatures that are often mistaken for squirrels or frogs. They live in clans of several dozen, with the largest, strongest gruntmrub serving as the leader. They spend most of their day sleeping in trees, but they are excellent climbers and will sometimes leap from tree to tree to catch flying bugs. They are thought to be one of the earliest non-evolving species in the world and have relatively primitive brains.

#329 Alsjepsel

The alsjepsel is a large reptile-mammal hybrid that frequents acidic swamps in the southern hemisphere. The alsjepsel were first discovered by Nin adventurers that mistook them for a demon and started a century-long crusade to wipe them out, which left a nearly extinct population. These days, alsjepsel have mostly been able to repopulate, but keep to themselves and stay far away from humans when possible. When threatened they may attack, but otherwise the alsjepsel is a generally docile herbivore.
