#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.
#193 Udeneth
The udeneth is a large, light-colored creature that somewhat resembles a llama. It has no ears or nose and must rely on sight and touch to find its food. Udeneths are found on mountainsides where they frequently burrow into the snow, where they will sleep, store food, or hide from other creatures. They are very sensitive to light and will glow when they are touched or if they feel threatened.
#095 Scotty
Believe it or not, scotties are actually descendants of dinosaurs! Scientists discovered a fourth classification of dinosaur, subterranean, during the disastrous decades-long journey to drill toward the planet's core for more resources. The scotties now kept as pets are a highly-domesticated breed meant to bring back the nostalgia and companionship of dogs for older generations.
#356 Ashkmagn
There are ten known ashkmagn, and they all reside within the same volcanic cavern, which they are aggressively territorial about. This endangered species is intelligent and capable of complex speech. Although they seem to understand several human languages, there has been only one confirmed instance of an ashkmagn ever speaking to a human who lived to tell the tale.
#103 Mountain Widow
The mountain widow is a spider that lives in the snowy mountains of the world. It is well adapted to the climate, as it burrows into the snow and stays underground until it is disturbed by the vibrations of footsteps. While underground, mountain widows will enter a meditative state of extreme focus where they listen to the vibrations of the mountain to "see" what creatures are moving where. For fun, they make thick webs in inactive volcanoes and calderas. When ignored, mountain widow webs typically last for centuries before erosion wears them down, often connecting multiple mountain ranges as groups of mountain widows migrate together.
#243 Banabat
Banabats are small, flying creatures of the night best known for their bright yellow coloring and unique reproduction cycle. Banabats are friendly to most species and primarily feed on tree sap by using their sharp teeth to pierce deep holes through bark. While feeding, an enzyme in their saliva mixes back into the tree, fertilizing it. After a tree is fertilized, it will start growing a patch of typically 12-14 additional banabats sprouting directly from its branches.
#301 Saski
The saski is a species of airborn sanni that often can often be found following cumulonimbus clouds, though their migratory patterns have them almost everywhere on the planet at least once a year. Saski have an average length of two hundred feet and an average weight of three thousand pounds. Saskis are known for their ability to squirt ink from their bodies which causes an immediate onset of intense psychosis in most creatures, which is used both as a defense mechanism and when hunting prey.
#190 Mimcree
Originally from the far east, mimcrees have been domesticated and controlled by the government for centuries due to their unique ability to shapeshift into any animal within their line of sight. This replication has been confirmed to be accurate down to a molecular level and tests have shown that almost every animal cannot tell the difference between a shapeshifted mimcree and the real thing. Although most people aren't aware of mimcrees, many people see them every day at zoos, where zookeepers typically rent a herd of mimcrees from the government to stand in for rarer species the zoo could otherwise only afford one of. Public grants make the rental fees of mimcrees more accessible, but zoos that choose to rent any shapeshifters must hire an official handler to make sure they don't get loose, or else they might never be seen again.
#180 Scordul
Scorduls are large, slow-moving amorphous blobs of flesh and bone that live in the forest. They are nocturnal and will often hide in caves or behind rocks, waiting for prey to come close. They can also camouflage themselves by changing their shape through a complicated bone-reconfiguration process or by coating themselves with a thin membrane of clear mucus that reflects light and smell. They are highly poisonous and will often lay in wait for days or weeks for the perfect time to strike their prey. A scordul bite is extremely painful, and anyone unfortunate enough to survive an encounter will likely lose at least the limb in which the bite occurred, but maybe more.
