#075 Vwamil
The first vwamil discovered swam out of a hot springs in a crowded, national park in the winter. The park was immediately shut down for investigation into what the unknown creature was, which then led to the discovery that vwamils commonly live in the deepest crevasses in many popular hot springs around the world. Why that first vwamil left the boiling water for a cold, winter day is still unknown.
#063 Buyrnwen
Buyrnwen are large snails that live for hundreds of years at a time with the ability to osmose their life force into the complicated chemical structure of their shell. After death, buyrnwen shells decompose and recombine with their body, reviving them with their stored life essence. They taste disgusting and have few predators, but those who hunt them also end up extending their own lifespan.
#201 Jigbat
Jigbats are large insects that resemble blue bats. They can be found throughout the world's forests and feed on insects, small birds, and berries. They sting their prey with a powerful paralytic venom that stains the skin blue, which they often use when they are hunting together in groups of several dozen. After taking down prey for food, jigbats will often turn on each other and fight over their share, often stinging other jigbats in the process. Jigbats are immune to their own species' venom, but if a jigbat has been stung, it will become paralyzed for several days and will be unable to eat or defend itself from future attacks. During this time, they will often hide in caves or other natural openings until their strength returns.
#187 Southern Bladesnake
The southern bladesnake is an aggressive snake variant originating in the deserts of Yerht. Most notable for their regenerative serum, bladesnakes intentionally sever the tails of their young and hold scavenged knives or other metal trinkets against the newborn's wound. Wounded bladesnakes secrete a natural healant that bonds their biostructure with the foreign objects, resulting in snakes that grow up with, for example, a knife for a tail. Despite their name, bladesnakes aren't typically aggressive and often bond with other metal objects, like spoons, pipes, and ancient debris and then learn to use their tails as specialized tools within their community.
#227 Ganturp
Ganturps are a species of relatively large insect found in forests throughout the world. They are brightly-colored and use their wings to create unique patterns that can be seen from afar. These patterns can be used by other ganturps to determine a ganturp's age, health, and gender. A ganturp's wings can also be used to mesmerize small, simple creatures. Ganturps typically live in groups of several thousand outside of caves and hunt at night. They have been known to eat livestock and small woodland creatures.
#262 Ri-la-doch
Ri-la-doch are a species of sentient amphibious creatures that are somewhat similar to a large frog. Most are around three feet tall and covered in reflective, chromatically-aberrant skin. Like a frog, they are able to jump enormous distances and have sticky tongues that they use to catch their prey, although their prey is usually much larger than what a frog would normally eat. Ri-la-doch usually inhabit swamps and mucklands, but can be found in many different environments. During their annual mating season, they will grow wings and tails and migrate to warmer climates. Ri-la-doch are renowned for their vast knowledge of natural and improvisational medicines.
#290 Borkar
The borkar is a small creature that is a distant relative of canines. It is primarily nocturnal, and will often roam around in the dark on its back legs, carrying its food in its front claws. Due to its razor-sharp claws, it is a very fast runner and can climb most obstacles as easily as running along the ground. Like its canine cousins, it is a pack animal and coexists with other borkars peacefully. Borkar often wander into human settlements and live on the streets, only coming out at night to scavenge through trash for food.
#342 Jungle Wraith
The jungle wraith is a rare and elusive creature that is rarely seen by humans. It has a slender and ghostly appearance, with translucent white skin that glows softly in the dim light of the jungle. It has long, graceful limbs, and sharp claws that allow it to climb trees and navigate the dense jungle underbrush. The jungle wraith is a solitary creature, preferring to hunt and forage on its own. It is a skilled predator, stalking its prey and pouncing with lightning-fast reflexes. It is also incredibly stealthy, able to move silently through the jungle and avoid detection by other animals. Despite its ghostly appearance, the jungle wraith has a few unique traits that set it apart from other creatures. It has the ability to turn invisible, allowing it to evade predators or sneak up on its prey. It also has a highly developed sense of hearing, which it uses to locate its prey even in the densest jungle. A fun fact about the jungle wraith is that it is rumored to be the spirit of a great warrior, cursed to roam the jungle for eternity. Many have tried to lay the wraith's spirit to rest, but none have succeeded. The jungle wraith remains a mysterious and elusive creature, shrouded in legend and mystery.
#354 Loqui
Loqui are a small species of upright, bipedal reptiles that are best known for long-distance marches across flatlands like meadows, deserts, and plains in sizable migratory crowds. During the spring, loqui will gather in these immense crowds and begin their season-long march, picking up and/or leaving loqui in new locations along the way. The carefree sounds of a loqui march can often be heard from almost a mile away. The flowers that grow on the back of these reptiles have an interesting microcosm of pollination and cross-breeding, driven primarily by their migration. Solitary groups of loqui will find that their flowers will unify into a single color and shape over time, while traveling loqui will grow new kinds of flowers depending on the group they're in. Some large corporations own large loqui farms where they manage and breed their flocks for specific flowers, which they mass-harvest every fall for sale, often to medicinal or pharmaceutical companies.
