#011 Ssene
Ssenes are strange, shapeshifting creatures that configure parts of their body to mimic specific features of any creatures they see, rather than transforming into a copy of their whole body. This "bioremixing" property typically results in horrible, unnatural amalgamations depending on what creatures each ssene has seen recently.
#078 Etorg
Etorgs are the living skeletal remains of eternal giants. Although most have grown bored of life and live solitary lives atop mountains or in colossal underground caves, younger etorgs will sometimes adopt a city, curl up around it, and patiently watch generations of lives unfold. Etorgs also love sandwiches, which they occasionally make by uprooting entire forests to squish between two slabs of planetary crust.
#051 Akaru
Akaru are a small, domesticated breed of dragons originally popularized by farmers in the east. Fully grown, most akarun won't even reach your knees. They're bred for vivid colors and make great pets who love to fly around and bring their owner back small trinkets.
#165 Shaleel
The shaleel is a large, multi-colored reptile that inhabits the swamps and wetlands of Oorzh. Being mostly aquatic, the shaleel usually only comes to land when it is voluntarily wanting to shed its skin. Shaleels have a long, constantly-tapping tail that produces an electrical current that they use to incapacitate fish while hunting. When a predator or a new potential mate approaches, the shaleel will raise its tail high above its head and then slam it down; if the creature is a potential mate, the electrical current will cause an explosion of green sparkles that attracts the mate. If the creature is a predator, the explosion will usually ward it off.
#197 Glandrac
Glandracs are living piles of desert trash. They are the avatars of the world’s most disgusting souls, who have been reborn as living garbage. Glandracs are always scrounging for food and will sometimes go for days without finding anything to eat. When they do find food, they will devour it whole, packaging wrappers and all. They reproduce by eating an extraordinary amount of food, then defecating out a small baby glandrac, which will look exactly like a smaller version of its parent. The adult glandrac will then lead the offspring on a long trek across the desert to a new trash pile, where they will begin their new life together.
#318 Flyx-in-ruck
For the longest time, the flyx-in-ruck didn't have an official name, largely due to the effective camouflage and stealth techniques this snake-like reptile employs. Each flyx-in-ruck is unique, adopting a sleep pattern, hunting strategies, and food preference depending on factors in its environment. Some flyx-in-ruck migrate seasonally, and some migrate so often they may as well be called nomads. Although all flyx-in-ruck are vastly different, they do share a few common traits: they are always fast, always quiet diggers, always intelligent, and always immediately deadly to their unsuspecting prey. It is said that once you see a flyx-in-ruck, it is already too late.
#289 Harra
The harra are an ancient race of polymer creatures that were created by the old gods as a punishment for mankind. Harra were meant to be a curse upon humanity, but they have since evolved and are now a beneficial, benevolent species. They are very intelligent and able to communicate with humans through telepathy. They are able to heal most diseases by touch and the most powerful harra are capable of keeping other creatures alive even if they are mortally wounded. They also have a strange affinity for electronics and are able to understand and control any system using radio waves. They can be found all over the world, but the harra believe their true home is in the sky.
#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.
#368 Avar shlin
The feared avar shlin is an intrusive pest originating from radioactive swamps and dark forests. This long wriggler is best known for the debilitating toxin it induces within the eyes of anyone that sees it. Something about the avar shlin's image projected on a human retina causes a chemical reaction that produces what has been known as avar sludge; this goo slowly dissolves the intricate structures within the eyeball, resulting in a rare form of incurable blindness where the victim can still see, yet can't understand what is being seen. Avar shlin have been known to decimate entire kingdoms from within. Despite their destructive potential, avar shlins are not aggressive by nature and prefer to avoid confrontations with larger creatures. They are nocturnal, and during the day they will burrow into the ground to avoid detection. Their diet consists mainly of small insects and rodents, but they have been known to scavenge for larger prey if necessary.
