#069 Seullen

Seullen are large, humanoid predators that contort their bodies into the optical illusion of a large bird to lure in and pick a fight with other large predators. Nearby villages can hear the tell-tale sounds of these fights from the haunting laughter of the seullen. It is unclear whether they simply always win these fights or if they laugh so hard regardless of outcome.

#126 Fexodo

Fexodos are small, furry animals that somewhat resemble a cross between a bat and a mouse. They live in herds of around fifteen and need very little food, subsisting mainly on insects and fruits. Fexodos are social and affectionate animals, and are often kept as pets by humans. When frightened, they temporarily inflate their body to three times its normal size.

#101 Dhagarem

Dhagarems are a common species of invisible beast that can be found across the world, but most commonly in unsettled areas. They are mostly nocturnal, but their shadows can sometimes be seen in the day if they wake up hungry. It is unclear what dhagarems actually eat.

#125 Holivax

The fabled holivax is a race of ancient colorsapping birds believed to now be extinct, but are widely referred to as exceedingly rare in ancient texts. Holivax are said to leech pigment from their surroundings, taking on hypersaturated colors reminiscent of the flora and fauna that are unfortunate enough to find themselves close enough to a holivax nest, drained of their color. It is written that holivax blood is able to cure blindness, and brightly shimmers with every color when exposed to even the littlest sliver of light.

#061 Dirb

Dirbs are flightless birds that wander fields looking for seeds and other small scraps of food. Their legs are incredibly thin and often crack or break with the slightest bump or stumble, but they heal quickly. Dirb meat is bland but filling and they are easy prey for anything that's hungry.

#111 Quernug

The quernug is a strange creature that resembles a sheep. They stand about 2ft tall and are covered in purple, matted wool, have a frog-like mouth, and have two horns on the sides of their head. Quernugs make a strange barking sound and will hop around, blindly following humans and other creatures. They are generally harmless, but may sometimes bite their companions, resulting in serious wounds, infection, and prolonged illness. Quernugs reproduce by spitting up eggs in a nest of mud and rotting leaves.

#174 Sanguaven

The night ravens with luminous, blood-red eyes in the south are colloquially known as sanguavens, although they've had many names throughout history. Sanguaven eyes have a unique reflective property that redshifts light and amplifies its reflection, resulting in their bright red eyes being visible in even pitch darkness, sometimes even miles away. These "demon dots", as some historical societies called them, formed the basis for many mythological stories, most notably the "All-Seeing Eyes" by Ronaldo Dominico. Although sanguavens are better understood now, they still instill a sense of unease and anxiety in those who see their glowing eyes, even from afar.

#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.

#361 Aparilla

Aparilla are small, translucent invertebrates from the sea, best known for the soft glow they emit on dark nights. Although they are quite tiny, only growing to about the size of a thumb, they pack quite a punch when it comes to their defense mechanisms. When threatened, they release a burst of bright light and a loud, high-pitched noise that can disorient their predators. They can also release a poisonous substance that causes a painful, burning sensation. Aparilla tend to live in large groups, known as colonies, and work together to protect and defend their territory. They are fiercely loyal to their colony, and will go to great lengths to ensure its safety. However, they can also be quite territorial, and will attack any intruders that wander too close to their home. Breeding patterns for aparillas are complex and still not fully understood by scientists. They are known to reproduce through both sexual and asexual means, with some individuals capable of producing offspring without the need for a mate. Aparillas are also known for their ability to regenerate their tentacles, which allows them to continue hunting and reproducing even after being injured. Despite their small size and seemingly fragile nature, aparillas are actually quite resilient creatures. They can withstand extreme temperature fluctuations and are able to adapt to changing environments with ease. This has allowed them to thrive in many different areas of the world, including both warm and cold climates. Overall, the aparilla is a unique and fascinating creature that continues to capture the attention of scientists and marine enthusiasts alike. Its mysterious behavior and adaptability make it an important subject of study in the field of marine biology.
