#105 Girflet
Girflets are creatures typically found in the damp undergrowth at the base of forest cliffs. When disturbed, they will race away at high speed, firing off seedpods into the air. On the ground, these seedpods bury themselves into loose dirt and sprout into a full-grown tree, making girflets great for reforesting an area.

#116 Nitenel
Nitenel are large, gentle creatures when domesticated. They have four heads, six folding wings, and a long, whip-like tail. They have no arms. Their eyes are a piercing red that contrasts their blue feathers beautifully; their beaks are small and each contain one small, venomous fang. Their diet consists mostly of small animals like rabbits, squirrels, and other birds.

#084 Hathawallow
Hathawallows are slow, bulky land walruses that choose to travel among packs of other species, forming symbiotic relationships wherever they go. The average hathawallow is incredibly smart and manipulative, often positioning itself to sacrifice those in its herd before any harm could possibly come to it. Hathawallow fur is coveted for its silky texture and warmness, and its stark, blue blubber can be used for a myriad of useful purposes. Tracking and bringing down a hathawallow is a fiscally-fruitful endeavor — as long as things go well for the hunters.

#013 Emerid
Emerids are social, friendly birds that travel long distances through deserts, trying to make friends with lonely travelers and larger animals. They've been known to sing loud songs on hot nights, with nearby emerids all singing the same song. Those that spend much time in deserts typically develop a love-hate relationship with the emerid songs that keep them company during the day, but also keep them up all night.

#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.

#231 Ephflynne
Ephflynnes are enormous creatures that swim through the air at speeds of up to one thousand miles per hour. They're completely translucent, but they can change the wavelength of light they reflect to blend in with their surroundings or to make themselves visible. They eat massive amounts of vapor every day, which they track and locate by following a pheremone known as sugreth. An ephflynne can grow to be ten miles long and can live for hundreds of years.

#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.

#160 Mechacrab
Mechacrabs were ironically given their name after a sarcastic explorer discovered the species in an underground cave on a spiritual voyage deep in the far east. Mechacrabs have detachable legs and hard, modular shells that they can reconfigure and reattach new legs and hand-made appendages anywhere they need them. It is believed they are incredibly smart and inventive, but the species lacks the physiology necessary for speech or language functions and is plagued by a particularly short natural lifespan.

#312 Galum
Galums are ancient, majestic creatures born from the remains of ancient warriors. They were once sentient beings known as the "ustones," but were transformed by an unknown magic into massive, leathery creatures with two wings and a retractable tail. Galums can speak, but rarely do so; instead, they prefer to be silent, stoic, and hypervigilant. Although galums have wings, they weigh far too much to be able to fly; whether this was an intentionally cruel design or a safety mechanism for their makers has been lost to time.
