A wild creature appears!

Skrayll

Most Skraylls live in the darkest forests, eating shrubs and rodents, although those that live a long time often grow larger and larger. Skrayll bones are made of a soft, rubbery substance that allows them to change over time depending on use, not unlike how muscles grow and shrink. Their rubbery bone material also secretes a slimy substance that hardens into a thick hide when exposed to air, which skyraylls must constantly shed or else they risk mobility problems and/or full paralysis.

#020 Starbug

Fully-grown starbugs make up the majority of visible lights in the night sky with their planet-sized bodies, but baby starbugs hatch and spend most of their pre-celestial life on abandoned planets until they learn to fly well enough to pierce gravity wells. When their eggs are laid in space, they are made of one of the strongest materials known to man. They drift endlessly, often for centuries, until they find a planet with sufficient gravitational pull to draw them into its atmosphere. The meteoric impact is what cracks the shell and releases a newborn starbug.

#003 Scrut

Scruts live in the deep north, where they burrow long distances through snow and dirt in search of their next meal. They secrete a natural, sticky antifreeze through their fur which prevents their small bodies from freezing. Although they live largely-vegetarian lives, they have been known to eat whatever happens to be available when starving.

#077 Fring

Frings are a species with the ability to change their size at will. Permanent aspects of their society like their homes and businesses are incredibly tiny and can only be seen or used while they're their smallest size, but they often size up when exploring their surroundings or adventuring together. They are able to survive off very little food and water by shrinking down when they eat.

#040 Menta

Menta tunnel their long, fish-looking tails through the seafloor and bait larger fish into biting it. The menta use a low-level form of mind control to then will the fish into the real menta body's mouth. Mentas have no known age or size limit and seem to grow 1-2 additional tails every decade, which continue to grow in length over time and can be independently controlled.

#135 Lononin

Lononins are strange, trans-dimensional birds that are infamous for their ability to teleport anything they touch into another dimension. With no ears, all lononins are deaf. Younger lononins are usually very skittish and shy, often immediately teleporting away from unwary travelers who get too close.

#127 Joprao

The joprao is a flying, amphibious creature which grows to be about four meters in length. It makes its nest in the long grasses of the savanna, where it lays and incubates its eggs. In order to attract mates and protect its territory, the joprao will create long, brightly colored ribbons of hair, which it attaches to its back and chest. When a male joprao is attempting to win a female, it will flap its wings to produce a high-pitched clicking sound at a unique frequency which only their mate will hear. Although few jopraos can hear each other, they can all be heard by humans; as such, joprao mating season is enough to force almost everyone in the area away for weeks at a time.

#145 Starsquid

Starsquid are the only known creatures that live in the upper exosphere. They are translucent floating jellyfish that hunt on moonless nights by using their bioluminescence. When dawn comes, they ascend back into the heavens to spend the day resting and digesting. Starsquids are said to be ancient and wise, and are responsible for inspiring mankind's first attempts at flight. According to mythology, they originated as energy life forms in the early days of the universe and slowly drifted through space until being captured in our planet's gravity well.

#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.

#369 Akshaya

The ancient akshaya has been around since the beginning of life and is widely believed to be the source of it. Akshaya has a shimmering, iridescent body that is constantly changing colors and patterns, and seven long tentacles that it uses to move and interact with its environment. Its movements are graceful and fluid, and it is often described as having an almost ethereal quality. This galactic creature is capable of communicating with any species through telepathy and can manipulate raw energy to form interdimensional portals, which allow it to travel quickly throughout time and space. According to legend, akshaya uses these portals to seed barren worlds throughout the universe with their very first lifeforms. It is believed that akshaya's portals lead back to wherever its home is — and that they're filled to the brim with every possible combination of life imaginable, meticulously hand-crafted with love by akshaya.
