#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.
#148 Dacagoth
Dacagoths are small, fluffy mushroom-like creatures that live in grottos and caves. They are about the size of a human thumb and are typically a light shade of gray. They spend most of their time sleeping and eating the rocks and fungus of the caverns they inhabit. After several years, they reach maturity and gain the ability to shed their sentience and become a regular mushroom.
#140 Fydern
The fydern is a green creature roughly the size of a human fingernail. It has twelve short legs and two wiggling antennae, which it uses to catch microscopic bugs. Its body is covered in a thick, greasy layer of skin and fat. If a fydern is taken out of water, its legs will fold in, its antennae will become rigid, and it will quickly become a rock and die. Solid fydern are sometimes polished and sold as gemstones to those who don't know better, as they don't begin to stink until months after dying.
#216 Zelorgbia
Zelorgbian creatures are relatively simple jellyfish-related invertibrates that live on the edges of the ocean. Zelorgbians come on shore to bask in the sunlight and to lay their eggs. However, they can't move on land and risk dehydration if they're beached, so they choose to stay as close to the water's edge as possible. They are very sociable and will often move in huge herds, which sometimes get swept long distances by strong ocean currents.
#027 Mipurd Ballow
Mipurd Ballows are a small, primitive species of salamander that are found in the deepest cavities of melting ice sheets. They are extremely hardy and can survive in almost any environment, but they are slow-moving and are often considered weak by other living creatures. Mipurd Ballows are also extremely territorial and will fight to the death to defend their territory, which rarely goes well for them.
#247 Rhaizel
The rhaizel is a quadrupedal creature with a long, spindly body. It has two sets of arms, one of which is normal in size and the other of which is short and stubby. It has a wide, fanged maw and small, beady eyes. Its skin is covered in stiff, sharp bristles and its legs are equipped with extra sets of claws for climbing. The rhaizel is an agile navigator of any environment and can move both quickly and quietly. Rhaizels reproduce asexually, with themselves, and lay a set of two dozen eggs per year.
#157 Spacebunnies
Spacebunnies are planet-sized pests of the universe that burrow into spacetime tunnels, leaving catastrophic black holes behind. Seeing a spacebunny in the sky is the worst omen someone can ever hope to see, both because their presence foreshadows an inevitable slide of the planet into the black hole's gravitational pull and also because the sight of a space bunny in the sky causes all who see it to go completely and irrevocably insane, which has razed entire civilizations long before their planet was eventually destroyed.
#240 Bargrim
The bargrim is a small, nocturnal creature which is native to the forests of the world. It may look like an ordinary butterfly when it is resting, but its natural camouflage belies its fearsome nature. It has sharp teeth, tough scales, and can quickly spin a web to trap its prey. Bargrim wings are also covered in a sedative dust that they can expel with a masterful flick of the wing. Some villages make sleepytime tea with bargrim dust.
#314 Ghiana
Ghiana are a distant aquatic relative to ancient starfish that pump electricity through their veins and filter water into liquid carbon, which they passively absorb. Although these colorful fish are known for their beauty (and weirdness), the color they appear as depends entirely on the emotional state of their viewer. Those with a clear conscious will see them as a light pink, while those with deep secrets will see a darker red or orange. In rare cases, some people claim to see ghiana of other colors; however, scientists are still unsure of how ghiana color-changing mechanisms work and what exactly dictates who sees what color.
