#052 D'Geft
D'geft are stone elementals that pass freely through mountains and stone, living solitary lives. Catching a d'geft binds his will to yours, enabling the binding one to control that d'geft's powers as if they were your own. When d'geft die, their souls weigh heavily on shifting tectonic plates that cause earthquakes and century-long ruptures that ultimately form a new mountain over time, which serves as an incubator for a new d'geft to eventually form within.
#205 Tramik
Tramik are strange creatures also known as the "pufferfish jellyfish". A tramik has no brains and instead subsists on a diet of ambient radiation and sunlight, so they typically float near the surface of whatever body of water they call home. Tramik are about the size of a basketball and are made of twisted and fused bones of many different animals, using the gelatinous substance tramik are known for producing. Tramik move incredibly slowly and will often spend days just floating in place, observing the subtle movement of currents in the water. If a tramik observes the death of another aquatic creature, it will become deeply saddened by the loss of a potential friend and will sometimes stop moving and die within a few days.
#242 Antwij
Antwij are a race of small angomites that originate from the southern deserts, but have long since migrated to a wider array of biomes after their homes became uninhabitable. Antwijes don't typically survive very long in the wild, except in the easiest of environment, because of their extremely docile nature and lack of hunting skill. Additionally, these small insects seem to have difficulty taking any food they deem belongs to someone or something else, leaving them starving even when a source of food may be nearby. In some desert societies, antwijes are renowned as ancient, holy creatures and provided a steady supply of food from the church. In these societies, it is not uncommon for these small creatures to crawl over sleeping members of the church in the night, repeatedly kissing them as a sign of thanks and good luck.
#192 Crindelino
Crindelino (meaning "giant armored ones" in an ancient script) are New World placental cold-blooded mammals. Crindelinos live isolated lives in the hottest deserts for long lifespans currently estimated to be over two thousand years long. Crindelinos are characterized by a leathery armor shell and long, sharp claws at the end of even longer arms. They have long legs, but are incredibly inflexible creatures, which impedes their mobility and speed. Newborn crindelinos typically measure between five and six feet tall, yet older crindelinos can grow to be over six hundred feet tall. Although they would be extremely capable predators, crindelinos frequently roll up into an armored ball whenever they are threatened by a predator, big or small.
#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".
#346 An fwo dur
An fwo dur share the majority of their DNA with an extinct armadillo-like creature that used to terrorize the mountainside. Unlike their ancestors, however, an fwo dur stand upright on two legs and reach heights of over nine feet tall. These intelligent creatures tower over the more primitive species in their ecosystem, both physically and intellectually; an fwo dur often use tools, build transient infrastructure, and communicate through disjoint chromatic aberrations which can also cause confusion and dizziness in other species.
#204 Klelag
Klelags are peaceful creatures of the southern tropical islands. They live in groups of around ten and create elaborate, beautiful nests of grass and palm fronds out at sea. Their favorite food is the silver-striped pike-perch, which they can be found fishing for in the shallows. Klelags are mostly harmless, but they do have one weird defense mechanism that they'll instinctively use if they feel threatened: They will expand the membranes of their wings and hop over their prey, painfully raking their enemy with the sharp barbs lining their wings.
#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.
#096 Cerasuc
Cerasucs are large, furry mammals that live in deep caves and are often found in groups of 10 or more. They have a black coat and antlers that are prized for their ability to reflect light and light up dark spaces. They have excellent night vision and their hearing is also very acute, allowing them to sense predators from far away. They forage for mushrooms and other underground plants and make nests out of sticks and vines. These strange creatures have a stoic, aloof demeanor and very little interest in other species of animals. They are very shy and skittish creatures that go out of their way to stay away from humans, but will attack if provoked or frightened.
