A wild creature appears!

Jauxckle

The jauxckle is a small mammal that typically calls colder forests its home, but will often wander into new areas in its post-life undead state. Although jauxckles exclusively feed on berries and other vegetation during their life, they also include meat in their diet during their undeath. A chemical process occurs upon their death that continues to animate their muscular system, moving the jauxckle using muscle memory but without an associated consciousness; although dead jauxckles look alive, they are merely shadows of their former life and cannot think, sense their environment, or feel pain. A side effect of this chemical process produces a thick, chromatic goo that oozes from their pores and keeps the body supple and moisturized.

#012 Val'anur

The val'anur is a monstrous beast of the tundra. What it lacks in speed it makes up for in determination and force. Val'anurs never sleep, which allows them to chase their prey indefinitely. Their gigantic paws sport deadly claws that tear exhausted prey to pieces, which val'anurs slowly savor until moving onto their next meal.

#094 Dryph

Dryphs are a rare and elusive type of creature. They are said to be born from the clouds, and are occasionally seen floating above them. They levitate high in the air, intently watching life on the surface. Their whiskers are said to provide longevity and health when steeped in tea and their soft, fuzzy hide makes for beautiful garments and gowns.

#097 Whalewalker

These hulking creatures once dominated the long-lost oceans. As the heat wave intensified and oceans began to evaporate, the first whalewalker ancestors adapted their way onto land. Whalewalkers lay down and open their gigantic mouth, then remain still for days at a time to lure in bugs and other small animals before chomping down for a calorie-packed bite. They live lonely, frequently-migrating lives.

#102 Alale

The alale is a muscular creature the size of a human that lives in swamps and marshes. They are very territorial and will use their ability to manipulate water to create hazardous barriers to keep other animals out of their territories. Alales are capable of budding off more of themselves to keep their species alive and thrive in areas after driving all other life out.

#119 Ossl

Ossles are small creatures that are found in warmer tundras. They are about the size of a small cat and resemble a cross between a tortoise and a beetle, albeit with two large, boney antlers that end in sharp claws. Despite their fearsome appearance, they are actually quite timid, unless they are provoked. You can tell the age of an ossl by the number of rings in their antlers, which grow thicker every year until they're too heavy to carry.

#288 Korod

A korod is a large, pale yellow bug with two large eyes and two long antennae. It has a single long leg on the underside of its body and two additional antennae on under its wings. It is an omnivore, eating both meat and plants. The korod is blind, deaf, and mute, but it has a keen sense of taste, smell, and touch. Korod are capable of walking, running, flying, and swimming.

#313 Koben

Kobens are small, furry creatures that have sharpened claws and retractable spikes on their backs. They are generally non-violent and don't attack humans unless provoked. They are foragers that search for food for most of the day, but also enjoy digging holes in the ground to hide from larger predators. Koben often rub their back-spikes against tree trunks which results in deep, noticeable gashes. Male kobens develop a bright pink coloring later in life, while females may sometimes develop patches of white fur.

#353 Frosthorn

Frosthorns are majestic creatures with white, shaggy fur and long, spiraling horns. They have sharp, pointed ears and a thick, curved tail that they use for balance and defense. Their eyes are a piercing blue, and they have large, powerful paws that are well-adapted for moving through snow and ice. Frosthorns are native to cold, snowy environments, such as the tundra and high mountain ranges. They are well-suited to these environments, with thick fur coats that keep them warm and feet that are adapted for walking on snow and ice. Frosthorns are herbivores, and feed on a variety of plants that grow in their cold, snowy habitats. They are also skilled hunters, and will occasionally prey on smaller animals, such as rabbits and hares. Frosthorns are known for their powerful and melodic calls, which can carry for miles across the snowy landscape. They use these calls to communicate with each other, and to defend their territory from other Frosthorns.

#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.
