#170 Hevvet
Hevvets are intelligent, house-sized horse-like creatures that frequent the snowy tundras and far north. Hevvets were historically unfriendly creatures—aggressively attacking anyone near their homogenous cities—until a large war broke out in the region that divided up the land among the victors. Nowadays, most hevvets have integrated into human societies and the few historically-hevvet cities left might as well be human societies now, given that hevvets account for less than 1% of the population in even the densest city. It is said that there are groups of traditional hevvets still living in caves and the wilderness, scheming and plotting a golden new age for their dying race. There are rumors that a single purely-hevvet town still exists somewhere called the "Warden".
#083 Weretree
When a werebeing sheds blood into groundwater, in some rare cases a nearby tree may absorb it and transform into a weretree. After around six weeks of transformation time, the weretree's bark feels rubbery; the branches grow large, meaty muscles; a face may form, though often lacks the vocal cords to speak; and a coveted Essence Tree may sprout directly from its wooden heart, producing nectar, ambrosia, and colorful fruits. Farmers lucky enough to have a weretree born on their farm benefit greatly from the weretree's harvest, but also inexplicably become targets for jealous neighbors.
#202 Fethid
Fethids are a species of large, fish-like creatures that live in the ocean. They are about two feet long and weigh about two hundred pounds. They are extremely intelligent and have evolved a complex system of language, culture, and social structure. They communicate with one another using a series of whistles and clicks that vibrate through water, which they use to convey complex ideas and emotions. They are known to be extremely peaceful and will not attack any other creature unless provoked, although they will defend themselves if necessary. Fethids have incredibly dense and strong skin that makes great armor when hunted.
#230 Pinlup
The humble pinlup is a delightful breed of small animal common in wild areas near human settlements. It's a popular activity for parents to bring their kids out to play with pinlups, providing them with bread and berries to eat; in return, pinlups bless those they play with with good luck and fortune. Pinlup tongues are bright blue and used to be heavily poached for trophies, but the species' rapid population growth over the past decade has devalued any perceived rarity or uniqueness, allowing the species to thrive even further.
#315 Tableu
Tableu are artificial, lab-designed mammal-likes that were designed for domestication into dense populace housing. Tableu are known for their eponymous "table", a hardened appendage on top of their head that they perpetually hold perfectly parallel to the ground. When purchasing a tableu, three distinct sizes are available, and each can hold a varying amount of weight on their table. The tableu mind is a small one which shuts off completely when there aren't any humans around. Coupled with the low-energy hibernation state they enter while their mind is unpowered, tableu are designed to be the perfect pet for on-the-go families or those who want little to no commitment in their choice of pet.
#267 Groxus
The groxus is the largest known insect in the world. They can grow to be 300 feet long and weigh up to 60 tons. Groxuses are nocturnal, feeding on large mammals and each other. They can be found in forests and deserts throughout the world. Because of their large size, groxi spend a lot of time hunting and will swoop down from the sky to consume entire fields worth of livestock before migrating on to new areas.
#341 Karystel
Karystels are noted for their beauty, grace, and quickness. Their long, lithe bodies move like eels, and they have scales in shades of iridescent purple, blue, and green. They are very popular in the arts, both among dancers and musicians. Baby karystels look like tadpoles, but significantly grow in size over a maturation period of two years. It is not understood why some karystels develop human-like hands and some develop large tentacles for arms.
#358 Mollang
Mollang are small marsupials often found throughout wetlands and jungles. They live long lives despite the poisonous fungus that commonly grows on their short fur, which also protects them from most predators thanks to the highly-contagious nature of the fungi's toxins. However, these same toxins keep the mollang in a perpetually semi-sick state where they constantly sneeze and leak fluids that can cause physical damage to trees, brush, and other animals. Although each mollang builds up a small tolerance to their own fur's toxins, they rarely spend enough time with other mollang to expand that protection; therefore, mollang often live long, solitary, sickly lives and are actively avoided by nearly all other life that may cross their path.
#114 Rolglu
Rolglu are large, bristly bears that never stop migrating. They have six legs, detachable paws, and stand about eight feet tall. They are herbivores and will often follow farmers' plows, eating the freshly dug roots and other plants that are uncovered. Rolglu tend to be very friendly and will often secretly crawl into merchant boats to be carried around the world; however, their size makes them dangerous to keep aboard and merchants will often push them into the ocean upon discovery, forcing them to swim back to land. While they can be found anywhere around the world, they largely prefer the cold tundras where their thick pelt doesn't cause them to overheat.
