#076 Hifinginn

Although the celestial cataclysm was a great catastrophe, it did introduce us to the Hifinginn and their universes—and consequently pushed forward our technology, biology, medicine, and understanding of the cosmos at least a century forward. The Hifinginn body is composed of veons instead of atoms, which is believed to be the reason why they largely ignore our universal rules of physics.

#004 Avahi

Not much is known about where avahis originated, but they migrate in large packs extremely quickly, typically along water-adjacent routes. Their small stature and nimble speed makes them difficult to track and their spiny exterior carapace provides an excellent defense against most would-be predators. If you see one avahi, chances are there are many more avahis nearby; they communicate quietly with hand gestures and whole-body movement.

#241 Witango

Witango are large, sturdy crystalline beasts that spend most of their days laying down and enjoying a warm bath in temperate swampwater. They have a hard time getting out of their baths because they are so comfortable, so they employ the help of their children (witangolions) to pull them out when their bath is over. When a witango leaves their bath spot, they typically leave behind an assortment of subterrean crystals that spread from their body, which sell for large amounts to most traders.

#231 Ephflynne

Ephflynnes are enormous creatures that swim through the air at speeds of up to one thousand miles per hour. They're completely translucent, but they can change the wavelength of light they reflect to blend in with their surroundings or to make themselves visible. They eat massive amounts of vapor every day, which they track and locate by following a pheremone known as sugreth. An ephflynne can grow to be ten miles long and can live for hundreds of years.

#374 Panileaf

A rare incubating leaf. When hatched, it's roots suck up all the nutrients in the soil and destroys the plants around it. These plants hatch a hundred years after they are taken out of their mother plant. The size of the leaves depends on how far it is from its mother plant when it hatches. The closer to its mother plants, the larger the leaves. The roots of the panileaf can be used as medicine for malnutrition as well as a drug. The leaves have no purpose other than helping to reproduce. The panileaf can be eaten by animals that have a stone stomach.

#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.

#310 Buuzkut

Buuzkuts are a species of small animal that looks a lot like a beetle, but are actually part of the Lepidoptera order. They have large eyes, a chitinous shell, and an intermuscular antenna. Buuzkuts love to eat fizzy drinks and will often hoard cans of it in their underground nests. They rarely come out during the daytime, preferring to stay in their nests and slowly slurp up a steady stream of fizzy soda. The average buuzkut lives for about six months.

#329 Alsjepsel

The alsjepsel is a large reptile-mammal hybrid that frequents acidic swamps in the southern hemisphere. The alsjepsel were first discovered by Nin adventurers that mistook them for a demon and started a century-long crusade to wipe them out, which left a nearly extinct population. These days, alsjepsel have mostly been able to repopulate, but keep to themselves and stay far away from humans when possible. When threatened they may attack, but otherwise the alsjepsel is a generally docile herbivore.

#074 Angrenif

Angrenifs are shapeless blobs of living matter that can be found in the deserts of the world. They are extremely resilient and can survive for years without water or food, instead drawing their energy from the heat of the desert. When an angrenif is in direct sunlight, it will begin to move faster and morph to grow larger; but when it is in the shade, it will slow down and begin to shrink. Their typical lifespan is about one hundred years.
