A wild creature appears!

Gghun'vur

Gghun'vur are small insects with 13 legs that live in the coldest frozen tundras in the world. Their internal body temperature is very close to absolute zero, which severely limits the temperatures they can survive in; harsh, freezing temperatures comparatively feel like a sunny day to them and they manage to keep warm in these environments. Gghun'vur hunt other insects and small creatures via a combination of high-speed sprinting and a powerful jump, which the gghun'vur uses to tackle and wrap its legs around its prey, instantly freezing them. An enyzme from the gghun'vur's saliva breaks down biomass within frozen hunks as they lick it, allowing this small creature to consume entire frozen meals with just its small, barbed tongue.

#076 Hifinginn

Although the celestial cataclysm was a great catastrophe, it did introduce us to the Hifinginn and their universes—and consequently pushed forward our technology, biology, medicine, and understanding of the cosmos at least a century forward. The Hifinginn body is composed of veons instead of atoms, which is believed to be the reason why they largely ignore our universal rules of physics.

#043 Volcrano

Every volcano has at least one volcrano maintaining it. They do their best to keep out of sight but volcranos are bulky and slow. Volcanos as a species have been fate-bound to feed the volcanic lava until the end of time in order to keep it from seeking food outside of the volcano. It's the instinct they have immediately upon birth and it's the instinct they'll still be mindlessly striving for upon their inevitable death.

#169 Havough

The large havough bird towers above trees, hills, and mountains with its imposing stature. Although havoughs typically fly into outer space to hunt for food, they often prefer to relax for weeks at a time in our atmosphere between meals. Although havough aren't malicious, they are dangerous simply due to their sheer size: the wrong footstep can crush entire towns, a gust of wind from their wings can blow over structures, and the sound of their mating call can rupture eardrums from a close enough distance. For these reasons, havoughs are typically classified as a pest even though there is nothing that can be done to shoo them away.

#305 Goursherpoid

Goursherpoids are aggressive reptiles that have large, flat sensors in their eye which allows them to see every wavelength of light. They have a long t tail that they can use defensively to whack their predators, and they have a bone behind their eyeballs that allows them to move their body in any direction. They are aggressive, but not territorial, and will often pick fights with other goursherpoids for sport. They will kill other animals for food, but not for sport. When fighting, their tail is used to grab their opponent and hold them in place and their claws are then used to tear their prey apart.

#297 Kensix

Kensixes are large, nocturnal reptiles that live in the desert. They are about the size of a car, and have a thick exoshell of chitin which protects them from the sun's rays as well as any physical attacks. To hunt, a kensix will use their deft legs to chase down their prey and repeatedly smash them with their gigantic body, sometimes leaping hundreds of feet in the air to crush unsuspecting prey from above. They are omnivorous, eating whatever meat they can find. Within their shell, kensixes have six rows of elongated incisors.

#281 Mazurath

The mazurath are a class of giant serpentine creatures that have lived in the deep recesses of the ocean for millennia, if not longer. Mazurath are peaceful creatures but, due to their immense size, sailors often attack them after mistaking them for common sea monsters. Inevitably, the only sailors that live to tell the tale of such mistakes are those who the mazurath lose interest in. A fully-grown mazurath can reach a length of over thirteen thousand meters and has a thick, muscular body with fin-like protrusions, which it uses for propulsion. Although the tips of their tentacles may sometimes breach the ocean surface, mazurath rarely leave the deepest ocean depths.

#357 Senna

It seems like the average senna lifespan is longer than that of the universes it inhabits. This large, snake-like creature has somehow evolved a form of inter-dimensional travel to escape the inevitable heat death of most universes. Sennae are unfathomably large, sometimes stretched across three or four universal dimensions when fully extended. These mysterious creatures have no known predators nor prey. Eons ago, people used to believe they could see sennae traveling through distant universes in the night sky, but science has long since "proved" that such a sight would be physically impossible given their size. History debates the authenticity of several allegedly-verified sightings.

#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.
