#098 Amber
Ambers are the bane of a sailor's life and have driven many towns inland, away from the waters. After emerging from most sandy shorelines at night, they sit quietly upon rocks, physically reflecting picturesque faces from your most haunting memories.
#041 Weiffalo
Weiffalo produce a seasonal wool that is as light as clouds. When Weiffalo have thick, natural coats, they love to ride strong gusts of wind around open fields, often bumping into each other both in the air and upon landing. Weiffalo also love to roll down large hills where their accumulated speed often launches them into the air if they encounter a small hill or large bump. When they're without their thick coat, their skin becomes irritable and easily broken during their typical tomfoolery.
#044 Zweifhlaightte
Zweifhlaughttes are colossal slugs from a time long before humans that have an interesting physiological compartmentalization not present in other species on the planet. The majority of the body remains buried underground in self-dug caves, while smaller pieces of the body detach and claw their way up to the surface, where they hunt for small animals. After they've consumed an excess of nutrients, the hunting appendages return underground and rejoin with their host body.
#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.
#118 Herenella
Herenellas are seahorse-like creatures whose bodies form non-euclidean shapes. They feed on ambient temperature differences deep in the ocean. These creatures are very intelligent and will often be found in tight clusters of dozens to hundreds. Herenellas use their long, malleable snouts to communicate with each other, forming a complex language that uses matter-shifting for intonation. While herenellas can also breathe out of water, they rarely have any reason to leave their food source in the ocean depths.
#247 Rhaizel
The rhaizel is a quadrupedal creature with a long, spindly body. It has two sets of arms, one of which is normal in size and the other of which is short and stubby. It has a wide, fanged maw and small, beady eyes. Its skin is covered in stiff, sharp bristles and its legs are equipped with extra sets of claws for climbing. The rhaizel is an agile navigator of any environment and can move both quickly and quietly. Rhaizels reproduce asexually, with themselves, and lay a set of two dozen eggs per year.
#219 Flailx
Flailx are oddball "fish" that photosynthesize their oxygen from the sun, severely limiting the nautical areas they may call home. However, flailx are extremely adept at holding their breath for long periods of time (sometimes for days!) and will venture into the deep sea to frolick along the seafloor alongside other schools of fish. They will, however, frequently return to the surface for more air and to re-warm their bodies in the sun after spending much time submerged. It is theorized that the flailx are a "reverse-evolution" of land mammals turned nautical, and that ancient flailx had long, spider-like legs.
#255 Squirmpod
Squirmpods are large, plant-like life forms often found in or around the greater rainforest regions. They are about the size of a small human and appear like a giant tree sprout, with a gray-brown trunk and a dark green, leaf-like canopy sprouting from the top that squirmpods passively absorb ambient nutrients from. Despite their stumpy appearance, they are surprisingly very fast and agile. To get around, they bend their trunk backward, quickly growing a new leg at the base of the trunk and leave their old leg behind. These broken-off leg sections will quickly grow roots of their own into the soil and become a new squirmpod to continue their species' rapid proliferation.
#298 Goryth
Goryths are a species of omnivorous humanoids native to the world's greenest mountains. Their bodies are covered in black or dark brown fur and their feet are large and splayed, making them excellent at climbing and jumping. Their heads are large, with a pair of yellow eyes, a small, flat nose, and no mouth. They have long, prehensile tails with which they grab onto branches and climb trees.
