#058 Forrest
Forrests are ghostly entities that inhabit jungles and forests. They are largely transclucent and intangible, typically only able to affect the world through moving wind. In the foggiest nights, a forrest can be seen with the naked eye. Locals often refer to forrests as the "soul of the forest".
#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.
#219 Flailx
Flailx are oddball "fish" that photosynthesize their oxygen from the sun, severely limiting the nautical areas they may call home. However, flailx are extremely adept at holding their breath for long periods of time (sometimes for days!) and will venture into the deep sea to frolick along the seafloor alongside other schools of fish. They will, however, frequently return to the surface for more air and to re-warm their bodies in the sun after spending much time submerged. It is theorized that the flailx are a "reverse-evolution" of land mammals turned nautical, and that ancient flailx had long, spider-like legs.
#178 Xi'gind
The xi'gind is an unintelligent creature that shares more DNA with terrestrial flora than fauna. A single xi bulb, given the proper care and environment, can sprout a newborn xi'gind within a matter of weeks. Although the xi'gind head then grows vertically out of the soil, xi'ginds also accelerate root-like growth of fleshy appendages that can grow from the ground over a hundred yards away. It is currently unknown how the xi'gind controls these remote appendages, as they don't seem to share a physical connection with the head.
#254 Boolic
Boolics are placid snail-like creatures that spend most of their days crawling in circles through the grass, slowly grazing and depositing their helmet-like shells in a community pile as they grow. In the night they retreat into their shells and begin to dream of their perfect life, a life arranged to the precise specifications of their shell’s dimensions. If this perfect life is disrupted by a predator, the boolic will summon a powerful blast of focused light that will blind the intruder and force them to flee.
#303 Fenngmoth
Fenngmoths are enormous moths with a wingspan of nearly 250 meters. They are strong enough to carry several tons at a time in their claws. They're able to fly very quickly for their size, and they will often swoop down to grab large animals from the ground. After catching a creature, fenngmonths store it in their devoursac until it is fully absorbed. Fenngmoths are normally only active at night. During the day, they hide in clouds.
#321 Sathera
Sathera are peaceful, ethereal creatures that feed on the energy of lightning storms. They are mostly invisible in most light spectrums, but when visible, they appear as circular fields of color that are constantly shifting. They tend to stay high in the atmosphere and will often be present during large storms; however, they occasionally kneel down to the planet to drink from lakes and rivers.
#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".
#347 Spectrowl
This large avian is colloquially known as the "master of camouflage" because of the hard, spectral shards that cover its body. These scales contain thousands of prisms that capture ambient light and reflect a perfect representation of an uninterrupted atmosphere, effectively rendering the spectrowl invisible at most wavelengths. Because spectrowl shards are so delicate, their system camouflage can easily be damaged or disrupted in the event of a physical injury; when this happens, they have been known to reflect laser-focused beams of light that may temporarily or permanently blind those nearby. In ancient times, spectrowl were thought to be creatures from another dimension and were purposefully injured at large gatherings to produce great spectacles of light.
