#104 Ayri
Ayris are large, green worms that live near shallow waters. They can grow to be up to ten feet long and weigh up to four hundred pounds. They have a mouth with a large tongue in the middle of their head, which they use to feed on small fish, crabs and other marine animals. Ayri mobility is extremely limited: they lack any bones and instead rely on a complex network of contracting muscles around their bulbous mass of body fat.
#039 Gundir
Gundirs are feared beasts of the furthest reachest north. They move quickly and quietly, using the pelts of their prey both to stay warm and remain cloaked under cover. They have been known to masquerade as animals for up to a week before ambushing others. Natives in the area refer to gundirs as fi'ni, which roughly translates to "Layered Pelt Beast".
#228 Agriot
Agriots are long, thin beetles with bright orange wings. They are primarily nocturnal, and spend their days sleeping in the hot desert sands; they will spend the night flying and catching insects in their long, thin pincers. Agriots tend to live by themselves, but will gather together in groups of up to three to eat a larger meal. Sharing a meal in this way seems to create a bond that precludes any aggression between those agriots from that point onward.
#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.
#307 Kubup
Kubups are brightly-colored arboreal creatures that can jump up to 100 feet high. They are an important part of forest ecosystems, as they feed on dead tree leaves and recycle them into nutrients for the trees. They typically climb to the very top of trees and sleep there, clinging to the leaves by their sharp teeth, but during stormy weather, they can sometimes be found hiding under rocks or in caves. Their fur, when rubbed on a person's skin, will cause that person to turn into a dornax if the kubup was faizen. The effects of this process are irreversible except by highly skilled magicians.
#277 Ka'ala'kai
Not much is currently known about the ka'ala'kai. These gigantic, green creatures seem unaffected by life in a vacuum; their systems for mobility aren't yet completely known, as they seem to be able to ignore the effects of gravity (or no gravity) at will. So far, ka'ala'kai have only been sighted and recorded via long-distance telescopes pointed at abandoned planets, moons, meteors, and comets. Most sightings have corroborated the theory that ka'ala'kai are matriarchial nomads that travel from celestial body to body with their children, and that adult ka'ala'kai separate from the pack when they have children of their own.
#290 Borkar
The borkar is a small creature that is a distant relative of canines. It is primarily nocturnal, and will often roam around in the dark on its back legs, carrying its food in its front claws. Due to its razor-sharp claws, it is a very fast runner and can climb most obstacles as easily as running along the ground. Like its canine cousins, it is a pack animal and coexists with other borkars peacefully. Borkar often wander into human settlements and live on the streets, only coming out at night to scavenge through trash for food.
#317 Gurdigoot
A gurdigoot is a small, scaly creature that has two eyes, two forelegs, and a long tongue. It is generally not very intelligent, but it is capable of rudimentary speech and is able to understand basic commands from humans. It lives in small groups of about ten gurdigoots and forages for food in the forests during the day. It returns to its hidden nest at dusk and will sleep until dawn. It has a strong sense of smell and can often be found hunting down large animals, such as elk or moose.
#345 Phang'ul
The feline-like phang'ul are a solitary, nomadic race that roams the lands in search of prey. They are known for their sleek, muscular build and their piercing, intelligent eyes. Their thick, luxurious fur comes in a range of colors, from deep blacks and browns to vibrant oranges and blues. In terms of behavior, phang'ul are skilled hunters and highly intelligent, with a natural aptitude for strategy and tactics. They are also fiercely independent, preferring to roam the lands on their own rather than live in communities. When it comes to reproduction, phang'ul have a unique mating ritual in which the male must prove his worth to the female by completing a series of abstract challenges. If he succeeds, the female will allow him to mate with her, after which she will give birth to a litter of up to four cubs. The phang'ul have a strict hierarchy within their society, with the strongest and most intelligent individuals rising to the top. They are also known for their strong magical abilities, which they use to protect themselves from predators and to enhance their hunting skills. Despite their solitary nature, phang'ul are not completely isolated from other races. They have been known to form temporary alliances with other creatures, particularly when faced with a common enemy. They are also skilled traders, and are often sought out by other races for their stockpiles of food and other resources.
