Armored Mawdad

The **Armored Mawdad** (ヨロヒイモムカデ?, lit.: "Armored Potato Centipede"; known in Europe and Australia as **Armoured Mawdad**) is the first boss in *Pikmin 3*, and the boss of the Garden of Hope. It is a massive, centipede-like beast with a multitude of small gecko-like legs, a large head, yellow eyes, a bluish-green underbelly, a gaping mouth, and large curved mandibles. The boss crawls about, trying to dodge the player's attacks, and is able to climb up the sides of walls as a means of fleeing. Upon death, it spits out the Data Glutton and the Firebreathing Feast. The Firebreathing Feast provides the leaders with two and a half bottles of juice, and the Data Glutton unlocks the next area, the Distant Tundra.
Aries Dragon

*If your dragons are suffering from a lack of leadership, an Aries Dragon is just what you need. They can be pushy at times, but for the most part, they make things happen by inspiring the dragons around them. Even when working against the odds, they'll lead the charge and bring the rest of your dragons along.*
Banana Kingdom

The **Banana Kingdom** is the first kingdom linked to the D Barrel which appears in *Donkey Kong Jungle Beat*. The kingdom is located in a vast green jungle. The Banana Kingdom can be accessed by completing the Opening Ceremony stage. The Banana Kingdom is the dominion of Dread Kong and Helper Monkeys. Donkey Kong travels through this kingdom to defeat Dread Kong. At the end of each level in the early kingdom, Donkey Kong must eat a giant banana to finish the level.
Atlantic salmon

The **Atlantic salmon** (*Salmo salar*) is a species of ray-finned fish in the family Salmonidae. It is found in the northern Atlantic Ocean, in rivers that flow into the north Atlantic and, due to human introduction, in the north Pacific Ocean.[2][3] Atlantic salmon have long been the target of recreational and commercial fishing, and this, as well as habitat destruction, has reduced their numbers significantly; the species is the subject of conservation efforts in several countries.
Ash-breasted antbird

The **ash-breasted antbird** (*Myrmoborus lugubris*) is a insectivorous bird in the antbird family, Thamnophilidae. It is found in Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests.

The ash-breasted antbird was described by the German ornithologist Jean Cabanis in 1847 and given the binomial name *Myrmonax lugubris*.[2] The current genus *Myrmoborus* was introduced in 1860.[3]
Aurora Monster (tiny monsters)

Spirited and inquisitive, the Aurora monsters live in tight-knit families near the lakes of the north. While underwater, the ice covering the creature's appendages seems to shine in a mesmerizing fashion, attracting any nearby fish. This phenomenon can also be observed after Auroras take a long dip in a hot spring.
Autumoth

"The enchantingly elegant Autumoth boasts a set of wings both beautiful and unique. Each autumn this animal collects the colours of the Forest's fall leaves and weaves them into the pixie dust that forms its wings. Despite its elegance, the Autumoth should be approached with caution. The dancing pigments of its pinions can entrance an onlooker and leave them feeling dazed for hours on end."
Azure jay

The **azure jay** (*Cyanocorax caeruleus*) (Brazilian Portuguese: *Gralha-azul* - *blue crow*) is a passeriform bird of the crow family, Corvidae. It is found in the Atlantic Forest, especially with *Araucaria angustifolia*, in south-eastern Brazil (São Paulo to Rio Grande do Sul), far eastern Paraguay and far north-eastern Argentina. It is the state bird of Paraná.
Armorhide (RID)

**Armorhide** (aka **Dangar**) is a member of the Commandos, the team that combines into Ruination. Like your typical weapon-wielding army vehicle, he favors active aggression over elaborate planning. His favorite tactic is to wait under scorching desert sands (which he finds really comfortable) then leap out in explosive fury at an unsuspecting target. His Cybertitanium caterpillar tank treads enable him to traverse even the roughest terrain with ease.

Despite his violent nature, he is often partnered with the more easy-going Rollbar.

After battle, he looks forward to a nice sand bath.
Asiatic brush-tailed porcupine

The **Asiatic brush-tailed porcupine** (*Atherurus macrourus*) is a species of rodent in the family Hystricidae. It is found in China, India, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Thailand, and Vietnam. The synonyms of this species are ***Atherurus assamensis***(Thomas, 1921), and ***Atherurus macrourus*** (Thomas, 1921) subspecies ***assamensis***.[1]

It is a nocturnal and fossorial species occurring in subtropical and tropical montane forests. It is found on the forest floor, often in areas with profuse undergrowth interspersed with cane and bamboo brakes and palms (Molur et al. 2005). It constructs burrows, which may be occupied by up to three animals. Two litters of a single young are born after a gestation period of 100 to 110 days (Smith and Xie 2008).

The species is protected under Schedule II of the Indian Wildlife (Protection) Act, though not listed in CITES. It has been recorded from Namdapha National Park in Arunachal Pradesh, India (Molur et al. 2005). It is present in a number of protected areas in Southeast Asia.
Aulotrachichthys heptalepis

***Aulotrachichthys heptalepis***, also known as the **Hawaiian luminous roughy**, is a slimehead found in the Hawaiian Islandssouth of Niihau, the westernmost island. It has a depth range of 50 to 100 metres (160 to 330 ft). Males can reach a maximum length of 6.7 centimetres (2.6 in) TL while females can reach 5.1 centimetres (2.0 in) SL.[1] It was first described in 1984 after 33 individuals were caught by the U.S. National Marine Fisheries Service in a series of cruises of the Hawaiian Islands.[2]
Ball python

The **ball python** (*Python regius*), also known as the **royal python**,[2] is a python species found in sub-Saharan Africa. Like all other pythons, it is a nonvenomous constrictor. This is the smallest of the African pythons and is popular in the pet trade, largely due to its small size and typically docile temperament. No subspecies are currently recognized.[3] The name "ball python" refers to the animal's tendency to curl into a ball when stressed or frightened.[4] The name "royal python"(from the Latin *regius*) comes from the fact that rulers in Africa would wear the python as jewelry.[*citation needed*]
Baboon (Beastformer)

**Baboon** (バブーン *Babūn*), nicknamed **Bab** (バブ *Babu*) for short, is one of the Autobot Beastformers fighting a war on the planet Beast. Born in the jungles of Nirmud, he is known for his unbeatable vigor that lets him overcome any hardship, as well as his knowledge of old folklore. He holds the rank of Emperor of Nirmud under King Eagle Killer, who has unfortunately joined the Decepticon side in the war, and the rank of Staff Officer for Mountains and Forests in the Autobot Beastformer forces. He's an expert at jungle warfare, having mastered the tactic of ambushing enemies then disappearing into the trees like a ninja, and wields the Babooner MVP Weapon that can make any object hit by its Bubble Ray inflate like a balloon.
Atlantic ghost crab

The **Atlantic ghost crab**, *Ocypode quadrata*, is a species of ghost crab, once described as an "occult, secretive alien from the ancient depths of the sea".[2] It is a common species along the Atlantic coast of the United States, where it is the only species of ghost crab;[3] its range of distribution extends from its northernmost reach on beaches in Westport, Massachusetts, south along the coasts of the tropical Western Atlantic Ocean to the beach of Barra do Chui, in Rio Grande do Sul in southern Brazil.[4]
Bamboo

The **bamboos** /bæmˈbuː/ ( listen) are evergreen perennial flowering plants in the subfamily Bambusoideae of the grass family Poaceae. In bamboo, as in other grasses, the internodal regions of the stem are usually hollow and the vascular bundles in the cross section are scattered throughout the stem instead of in a cylindrical arrangement. The dicotyledonous woody xylem is also absent. The absence of secondary growth wood causes the stems of monocots, including the palms and large bamboos, to be columnar rather than tapering.[3]

Bamboos include some of the fastest-growing plants in the world,[4] due to a unique rhizome-dependent system. Certain species of bamboo can grow 91 cm (36 in) within a 24-hour period, at a rate of almost 4 cm (1.6 in) an hour (a growth around 1 mm every 90 seconds, or 1 inch every 40 minutes).[5]Giant bamboos are the largest members of the grass family. Bamboos are of notable economic and cultural significance in South Asia, Southeast Asiaand East Asia, being used for building materials, as a food source, and as a versatile raw product. Bamboo has a higher specific compressive strengththan wood, brick, or concrete and a specific tensile strength that rivals steel.[6][7]

The word bamboo comes from the Kannada term *bambu* ಬಂಬು, which was introduced to English through Indonesian and Malay.[8]
Argentoconodon

***Argentoconodon*** (meaning "Argentina cone tooth") is an extinct genus of theriimorph mammal from the Cañadon Asfalto Formation of Patagonia. When originally described, it was known only from a single molariform tooth, which possessed a combination of primitive and derived features. The tooth is currently held in the Museo Paleontológico Egidio Feruglio, where it was given the specimen number MPEF-PV 1877.[2] New material described in 2011, including most of a skull and many mostly complete skeletons, show that *Argentoconodon* was similar to *Ichthyoconodon*, *Jugulator* and *Volaticotherium* within the family Triconodontidae,[3] and possibly also *Triconolestes*.[4]
Ash-colored cuckoo

The **ash-colored cuckoo** (*Coccycua cinerea*) is an American bird species of the cuckoo family (Cuculidae).

It was formerly placed in the genus *Coccyzus* or *Micrococcyx*. Following the discovery that it belongs to a distinct lineage around the little cuckoo, the genus *Coccycua* has been reinstated for these.

It is found in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay and has been reported from Colombia and Peru. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forest and subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest.
Arctic fox

The **Arctic fox** (*Vulpes lagopus*), also known as the **white fox**, **polar fox**, or **snow fox**, is a small fox native to the Arcticregions of the Northern Hemisphere and common throughout the Arctic tundra biome.[1][7] It is well adapted to living in cold environments, and is best known for its thick, warm fur that is also used as camouflage. On average, Arctic foxes only live 3–4 years in the wild.[8] Its body length ranges from 46 to 68 cm (18 to 27 in), with a generally rounded body shape to minimize the escape of body heat.

The Arctic fox preys on many small creatures such as lemmings, voles, ringed seal pups, fish, waterfowl, and seabirds. It also eats carrion, berries, seaweed, and insects and other small invertebrates. Arctic foxes form monogamous pairs during the breeding season and they stay together to raise their young in complex underground dens. Occasionally, other family members may assist in raising their young. Natural predators of the Arctic fox are the red fox, golden eagles, wolverines, wolves, and grizzly bears.[9][10]
Bactrian camel

The **Bactrian camel** (*Camelus bactrianus*) is a large, even-toed ungulate native to the steppes of Central Asia. The Bactrian camel has two humps on its back, as does the wild Bactrian camel (a separate species), in contrast to the single-humped dromedary camel.[2] Its population of two million exists mainly in the domesticated form.[3] Their name comes from the ancient historical region of Bactria.[4]

The domesticated Bactrian camel has served as a pack animal in inner Asia since ancient times. With its tolerance for cold, drought, and high altitudes, it enabled the travel of caravans on the Silk Road.[5] A small number of feral Bactrian camels still roam the Mangystau Province of southwest Kazakhstan and the Nubra Valley in India.[6]
Baiji

The **baiji** (Chinese: 白鱀豚; pinyin: *báijìtún (help·info)*, *Lipotes vexillifer*, *Lipotes* meaning "left behind", *vexillifer* "flag bearer") is a functionally extinct species of freshwater dolphin formerly found only in the Yangtze River in China. Nicknamed "Goddess of the Yangtze" (simplified Chinese: 长江女神; traditional Chinese: 長江女神; pinyin: *Cháng Jiāng nǚshén*) in China, the dolphin is also called **Chinese river dolphin**, **Yangtze River dolphin**, **whitefin dolphin**and **Yangtze dolphin**. It was regarded as the goddess of protection by local fishermen and boatmen in China (Zhou, 1991).[5] It is not to be confused with the Chinese white dolphin or the finless porpoise.

The baiji population declined drastically in decades as China industrialized and made heavy use of the river for fishing, transportation, and hydroelectricity. It has been credibly claimed, after surveys in the Yangtze River during the 1980s, that baiji could be the first dolphin species in history that humans have driven to extinction. A Conservation Action Plan for Cetaceans of the Yangtze River was approved by the Chinese Government in 2001.[6] Efforts were made to conserve the species, but a late 2006 expedition failed to find any baiji in the river. Organizers declared the baiji functionally extinct.[7] The baiji represents the first documented global extinction of a "megafaunal" vertebrate for over 50 years[8] since the demise of the Japanese sea lion and the Caribbean monk seal in the 1950s. It also signified the disappearance of an entire mammal family of river dolphins (Lipotidae).[8] The baiji's extinction would be the first recorded extinction of a well-studied cetacean species (it is unclear if some previously extinct varieties were species or subspecies) to be directly attributable to human influence.

Swiss economist and CEO of the baiji.org Foundation, August Pfluger funded the expedition, in which an international team, taken in part from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the Fisheries Research Agency in Japan, searched for six weeks for signs of the dolphin. The search took place almost a decade after the last exploration in 1997, which turned up only 13 of the cetaceans.[9]

In August 2007, a Chinese man reportedly videotaped a large white animal swimming in the Yangtze.[10] Although it was tentatively confirmed that the animal on the video is probably a baiji,[11] the presence of only one or a few animals, particularly of advanced age, is not enough to save a functionally extinct species from true extinction. The last known living baiji was Qiqi (淇淇), who died in 2002. The World Wildlife Fund is calling for the preservation of any possible baiji habitat, in case the species is located and can be revived.[9]

A related creature from the Neogene is *Parapontoporia*.[12]
Axemon

**Axemon** is a Demon Beast Digimon. It is a younger brother who exchanged cups of brotherhood with SkullKnightmon. As a brawny fighter replete with nimble movements and limitless physical strength, it faithfully obeys its sworn brother SkullKnightmon, and battles with faith in its sworn brother in order to obtain victory. It shows off lightning-speed movements fast enough that they earned it the alias of "Running Lightning", and its top speed is so fast that you can see afterimages. However, fine maneuvers are its weak point, so its linear movements can be easily read by its opponent, and it easily collides with obstacles. However, if you see its sturdy body smashing through those and continue running with a defiant, thunderous roar, you would probably agree that the name "Running Lightning" is appropriate.[1]
Australian Cattle Dog

The **Australian Cattle Dog** (**ACD**), or simply **Cattle Dog**, is a breed of herding dog originally developed in Australia for droving cattle over long distances across rough terrain. This breed is a medium-sized, short-coated dog that occurs in two main colour forms. It has either brown or black hair distributed fairly evenly through a white coat, which gives the appearance of a "red" or "blue" dog.

As with dogs from other working breeds, the Australian Cattle Dog is energetic and intelligent with an independent streak. It responds well to structured training, particularly if it is interesting and challenging. It was originally bred to herd by biting, and is known to nip running children. It forms a strong attachment to its owners, and can be protective of them and their possessions. It is easy to groom and maintain, requiring little more than brushing during the shedding period. The most common health problems are deafness and progressive blindness (both hereditary conditions) and accidental injury; otherwise, it is a robust breed with a lifespan of 12 to 14 years.

In the 19th century, New South Wales cattle farmer Thomas Hall crossed the dogs used by drovers in his parents' home county, Northumberland, with dingoes he had tamed. The resulting dogs were known as Halls Heelers. After Hall's death in 1870, the dogs became available beyond the Hall family and their associates. They were subsequently developed into two modern breeds: the Australian Cattle Dog and the Australian Stumpy Tail Cattle Dog. Robert Kaleski, who wrote the first standard for the breed, was influential in its development.

Australian Cattle Dog has been nicknamed a **"Red Heeler"** or **"Blue Heeler"** on the basis of its colouring and practice of moving reluctant cattle by nipping at their heels. Dogs from a line bred in Queensland, Australia, which were successful at shows and at stud in the 1940s, were called "Queensland Heelers" to differentiate them from lines bred in New South Wales; this nickname is now occasionally applied to any Australian Cattle Dog.
Backblast (Transformers)

To call **Backblast** a single-minded engine of destruction would be giving him too much credit in the brains department. In fact, to say that he's as sharp as a bowl of wet glitch mice would be to vastly underestimate the glitch mice, the bowl, and the water.

A goon in the old-fashioned sense of the word, he is the muscle of the Deep Space Mini-Con Team, pointed in the right direction and told "go for it". Well, he wouldn't understand what that means, so he'd be told, very specifically, "Shoot and punch any other Mini-Cons who are not us."

From that point on, his partners Blastcharge and Scrap Iron go off to do the more precise work, coming back to tell Backblast it's time to stop fighting, because he *won't stop* until he's told. He'd probably start beating himself up once nobody else was left to smack around if Blastcharge and Scrap Iron ever took too long getting back to him with new orders.

Backblast's strength is impressive for a Mini-Con, and makes up a large portion of the punch of the Team's combined form, the Umbral Blaster.
Athena Dragon

*The ancient Athena Dragon, aptly named after the Greek goddess of wisdom and warcraft, is not a creature to be trifled with. Although some of its knowledge is passed down, much of its wisdom and combat skills are instinctual. The Athena Dragon can make a remarkably loyal companion, but it requires a firm hand and plenty of love.*
Archeops

Archeops is a large, flying creature that bears similarities to a dinosaur. Its featherless, scaly head is red with a green stripe running along the top. Its mouth is filled with sharp teeth. Its eyes are white with black pupils and no irises. Its body is covered with frayed-looking, yellow and blue feathers designed for flight on its arms and legs enabling all four of its limbs to act as wings. All of these "wings" bear sharp claws. It has a ring of smaller green feathers on the ankles. Its tail is completely red and featherless except for a fan of blue feathers at the end, and as with the *Archaeopterygiformes*, it has fully-movable vertebrae in its tail instead of a pygostyle. Its plumage is very delicate.

It is capable of flying, but is more adept at running. It can outrun even an automobile. It has the intelligence to work with its partners in order to catch prey. Archeops is extinct, but can be revived via fossils. Archeops is omnivorous, along with hunting for prey, it has been seen eating fruit in the anime.
Arsinoitherium

***Arsinoitherium*** is an extinct genus of paenungulate mammal belonging to the extinct order Embrithopoda. It is related to elephants, sirenians, hyraxes and the extinct desmostylians. Arsinoitheres were superficially rhinoceros-like herbivoresthat lived during the late Eocene and the early Oligocene of northern Africa from 36 to 30 million years ago, in areas of tropical rainforest and at the margin of mangrove swamps. A species described in 2004, *A. giganteum*, lived in Ethiopia about 27 million years ago.
Archaeoceratops

***Archaeoceratops***, meaning "ancient horned face", is a genus of basal neoceratopsian dinosaur from the Early Cretaceous(Aptian stage) of north central China. It appears to have been bipedal and quite small (about 1 meter long) with a comparatively large head. Unlike many later ceratopsians it had no horns, possessing only a small bony frill projecting from the back of its head.
Armadillidiidae

**Armadillidiidae** is a family of woodlice, a terrestrial crustacean group in the order Isopoda. Unlike members of other woodlouse families, members of this family can roll into a ball, an ability they share with the outwardly similar but unrelated pill millipedes and other animals. This ability gives woodlice in this family their common names of **pill bugs**,[1] **roly polies**, **butchy-boys**, and **doodle bugs**.[2] The best known species in the family is *Armadillidium vulgare*, the common pill bug.
Art Nouveau Horse

"There are so many beautiful types of art in the world and the Art Nouveau Horse loves them all! Jewelry, paintings, architecture, or interior design, this creative creature has interests in all forms of art and the beauty that they bring to the world. While the Art Nouveau Horse has an appreciation for beautiful art, many in the Forest have an appreciation for the beauty of Art Nouveau Horse itself!"
Atlantic goliath grouper

The **Atlantic goliath grouper** or **itajara** (*Epinephelus itajara*), also known as "jewfish",[2] is a large saltwater fish of the grouper family found primarily in shallow tropical waters among coral and artificial reefs at depths from 5 to 50 m (16 to 164 ft). Its range includes the Florida Keys in the US, the Bahamas, most of the Caribbean and most of the Brazilian coast. On some occasions, it is caught off the coasts of the US states of New England off Maine and Massachusetts. In the eastern Atlantic Ocean, it occurs from the Congo to Senegal.
Aurorus

Aurorus is a quadruped, dinosaurian Pokémon that is similar to sauropods. It is primarily blue with a lighter underside. There are two lines of small ice crystals running the length of its body, one line on each side. These crystals produce freezing air reaching temperatures of -240 degrees Fahrenheit. A white, V-shaped mark covers the top of its head with another ice crystal in the center, giving it the appearance of wearing a tiara or a headress. Two large, flowing sails extend from the top of its head and run down its long neck. The sails are pale whitish-yellow at the base, and fade into a pale bluish-purple at the edges. There are three clawed toes on its hind legs, but one large nail and a single claw on its forelegs. The tip of its long, tapering tail is teardrop-shaped and curls inward.

Aurorus are usually timid and kindly in nature, but can use its abilities to create ice walls and encase opponents for its protection.
Australian snubfin dolphin

The **Australian snubfin dolphin** (*Orcaella heinsohni*) is a dolphin found off the northern coasts of Australia. It closely resembles the Irrawaddy dolphin (of the same genus, *Orcaella*) and was not described as a separate species until 2005. The Australian snubfin has three colors on its skin, while the Irrawaddy dolphin only has two. The skull and the fins also show minor differences between the two species.
Aviator Emu

The Aviator Emu shares most of its looks with that of the Emu. Aside from a custom aviator cap, decorated with a star logo and grey goggles, the only other difference is the colouring. Its body and beak are coloured an extremely dull yellow, with its head and neck coloured grey. The body has darker markings made to resemble feathers. Its "wings" are coloured purple, lined with grey. Finally, its legs are coloured brown and its legs dull green.
Arcturian Dragon

*A particularly creative youngster came up with a rhyme to honor the arcturian dragon and it has since become quite popular among young and old alike.'**Twinkle, twinkle, little wyrm***

*Up above the vale you burn*

*Shooting toward the world so fast*

*Here you come to stay at last*

*From your home and down to ours*

*Little dragon from the stars*
Baba Wim Bao Miao

**Baba Wim Bao Miao** – Baba (爸爸寶寶 *bàba bǎobǎo*, "father darling") is the father of the Miao family. He is very strict with his children, and in matters of hard work and duty, but also has a softer, playful side as well. Baba also fancies himself a devotee of Chinese Opera although he has Beat deafness. He and Mama are the official calligraphers of the Foolish Magistrate. Baba, like Dongwa, is cream-colored and has typical Siamese facial markings. When he was cared for by Angwan, he was called Bu-Gu.
Ballerina Hippo

The Ballerina Hippo's appearance is similar to the Hippo, with its differences being its ballet outfit including a golden ballet tiara on its head with a single hot pink gem front and centre, a pink ballet skirt around its body and pink ballet shoes for its all four legs. Also, its lower parts are now blue-gray instead of pink.
Azulongmon

**Azulongmon** is a Holy Dragon Digimon whose names and design are derived from the mythological Azure Dragon of the East (青龍*Qīng Lóng*?), known in Japan as "Seiryū" (せいりゅう?), with "Azure" as a reference to that name. Its design is also derived from the mythological Ào Guǎng (敖廣?), Dragon King of the East Sea. It is the "Digimon Sovereign" that guards the East, and commands the Deva Mihiramon, Antylamon, and Majiramon.[4][5][6] Also, it is counted as one of the Four Great Dragons, and is the most deified existence among them. It releases intense lightning strikes, and although it is a divine being, it will not easily cooperate with humans and the weak, and it is not likely to lend help to its allies unless there is something serious.[7]
Australian humpback dolphin

The **Australian humpback dolphin** (*Sousa sahulensis*) is a species of humpback dolphin and the fourth recognized humpback dolphin species chronologically. The specific name *sahulensis* is derived from the Sahul Shelf, located between northern Australia and southern New Guinea, where the Australian humpback dolphins occur.[1]

The species was scientifically described on 31 July 2014 in the journal *Marine Mammal Science*.[2] As of August 2014, there is no population estimate for the Australian humpback dolphin, but based on available sighting data it is put to "a few thousand".[1]
Band-tailed hornero

The **band-tailed hornero**, **wing-banded hornero** or **tail-banded hornero**, (*Furnarius figulus*), is a species of bird in the family Furnariidae, the ovenbirds. It is endemic to Brazil.

Its natural habitats include a wide range of wooded habitats, especially near water and around mudflats. It feeds on insects, other arthropods, and shelllfish - in short, any prey found by upturning stones and litter - and makes a cup-sized nest in sheltered places with grass and vegetal fibers.[2]
Archaerhineura

***Archaerhineura*** is an extinct genus of amphisbaenian lizards in the family Rhineuridae. The only species is ***Archaerhineura mephitis***, named in 2015 on the basis of a single fragment of the lower jaw from the Polecat Bench Formation in Park County, Wyoming, which dates to the late Paleocene (about 57 to 58 million years ago). *Archaerhineura* is one of the oldest amphisbaenians and was part of an evolutionary radiation of Rhineuridae in the Paleocene several million years after the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event (the only surviving member of Rhineuridae is *Rhineura floridana*, which lives in Florida). This rhineurid radiation coincided with the radiation of another group of amphisbaenians, Amphisbaeniformes, which includes the still-extant families Blanidae and Amphisbaenidae. The presence of *Archaerhineura* and other Paleocene rhineurids in the western United States indicates that amphisbaenians, which would later have a nearly global distribution, originated in North America.[1]
Artemis (BWII)

**Artemis** (アルテミス *Arutemisu*) would like to tell you all about her life as a teenage robot, but unfortunately, she doesn't have much of one. A gynoid stationed on the moon of Gaia, she was tasked by the ancient civilization that built her to monitor the world below and make sure no one ever abuses the Angolmois energy within. This monotonous existence of watching and reporting has rendered Artemis highly irritable, and she'll often vent her pent-up frustrations on her partner, Moon, by bashing his skull in with a hammer. *Teenagers*.

And being a teenager, Artemis endlessly fantasizes about romantic fulfillment, quickly developing obsessive crushes on whatever dashing male robot passes by her monitors. Scuba and Starscream are the current objects of her voyeuristic affections, though neither transformer knows that she even exists (and probably wouldn't reciprocate even if they did).
Balanerpeton

***Balanerpeton*** is an extinct genus of temnospondyl amphibian from the Visean stage of the Early Carboniferous period.[1] It reached approximately 50 cm (20 in) in length.[2] *Balanerpeton woodi* was discovered by Stanley Wood and is the earliest and most common tetrapod in the East Kirkton Quarry assemblage of terrestrial amphibians in Scotland. Characteristics of *Balanerpeton woodi* include the presence of large external nares, large interpterygoid vacuities (holes in the back of the palate), and an ear with a tympanic membrane and rod-like stapes. Numerous studies and research regarding ontogeny in non extant taxa have been oriented around this taxon.[3] The morphology of the stapes suggests that the animal was capable of hearing high-frequency sound. *B. woodi* does not possess lateral line sulci or an ossified branchial system. The principal method of respiration was probably buccal (gulping air through mouth) rather than costal (expanding chest volume to take in air), indicated by the small straight ribs.
Artifact Dragon

*Artifact Dragons are occasionally discovered while exploring ruined cities or delving into forgotten caves. They seem to slumber for years on end without the need to eat or drink, but they don't seem to age a day. While they may first appear dusty, with a quick bath, the beautiful patterns of these dragons are revealed.*
Asian giant hornet

The **Asian giant hornet** (*Vespa mandarinia*), including the subspecies Japanese giant hornet (*V. m. japonica*),[2] colloquially known as the **yak-killer hornet**,[3] is the world's largest hornet, native to temperate and tropical Eastern Asia. They prefer to live in low mountains and forests, while almost completely avoiding plains and high-altitude climates. *V. mandarinia* creates nests by digging, co-opting pre-existing tunnels dug by rodents, or occupying spaces near rotted pine roots.[4] It feeds primarily on larger insects, colonies of other eusocial insects, tree sap, and honey from honey bee colonies.[5] Some dimensions of this hornet are a body length of 45 mm (1.8 in), a wingspan around 75 mm (3.0 in), and stinger length of 6 mm (0.24 in) which injects a large amount of potent venom.[6]

The Asian giant hornet is sometimes confused with the yellow-legged hornet (*Vespa velutina*), also known as the Asian hornet, an invasive species of major concern across Europe, including the UK.
Austin

Austin is a shy but fun-loving purple kangaroo. Though generally soft-spoken in Season 1, due to recently moving in the neighborhood, Austin starts to come out of his shell as the series progresses. He is revealed to be smart and imaginative. Austin rarely appears in the spotlight, but takes the role of the lead character in several episodes. Says Bogush: "Austin's usually the one pulling up the rear. He's kind of a get-along guy."[6] Austin has been shown to occasionally display a more villainous side, such as in the episodes "High Tea" and "The Magic Skateboard."
Band-tailed antshrike

The **band-tailed antshrike** (*Thamnophilus melanothorax*) is a species of bird in the family Thamnophilidae. It is found in the eastern Guianas of Suriname and French Guiana mostly; also Brazil, Guyana, and Atlantic regions of the Amazon Basin, and some local regions upstream on the Amazon. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical swamps.

The band-tailed antshrike was described by the English zoologist Philip Sclater in 1857 and given the binomial name *Thamnophilus melanothorax*.[2] It was subsequently placed in the genus *Sakesphorus*. A molecular phylogenetic study published in 2007 found that *Sakesphorus* was polyphyletic and that three species including the band-tailed antshrike were embedded within a clade containing members of *Thamnophilus*. The band-tailed antshrike was therefore moved back to its original genus.[3][4]
BanchoLeomon

**BanchoLeomon** is a Beast Man Digimon. It lives faithfully only to the "Justice" in which it trusts. It is said that only Digimon who continue to emerge victorious in battles with fierce champions, without their spirit being "broken", are able to acquire the title of "Bancho", and in the recorded history of the Digital World, only five Digimon which possess this title have been confirmed. As it is a boss that only serves its own "Justice", if something becomes an obstacle to that "Justice", it will see them as "Evil" even if they are a being like the Royal Knights or the Celestial Digimon, and they will become an enemy that it has to eliminate. The "GAKU-RAN" worn over its shoulders is endowed with a defensive function that negates 89.9% of the opponent's physical strikes. It wields its prided tantō, "Otokodama" (男魂? lit. "Man's Soul").[10]
Artist Dragon

*With a flick of the wrist, or its tail, the Artist Dragon begins to paint something special. Often commissioned to paint the landscape of the Isles or portraits of dragons, these artisans are always crafting. Finding an Artist Dragon without a brush in hand is like finding the Isles barren of dragons; it's impossible!*
Atelopus siranus

***Atelopus siranus*** is a species of toad in the family Bufonidae.

It is endemic to Peru. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, subtropical or tropical moist montane forests, and rivers. It is known from Serrania de Sira in the upper Amazon basin of eastern central Peru and also occurs in El Sira Communal Reserve; only a few specimens have been collected and has not been sighted since 1988. This isolated area has little human disturbance so the only known threats are chytridiomycosis and pet trade although these threats may not be significant.
At (Digimon)

**At** is a Digimon. Learning by observing Hinukamuy, Jesmon acquired At, Rene, and Pol as part of its ascetic training. They are able to move and act independently under Jesmon's instructions, and boast formidable behavioral abilities such as direct attacks on the enemy, protection of Jesmon, and rescue of other Digimon.[1]
Athletigator

"Always looking to break a sweat, the Athletigator never shies away from some healthy competition. Whether on land or in the water, it will always try its hardest to win and is a good sport if it doesn't. The Athletigator is the consummate contender and the envy of all the other athletic animals in the Forest."
Bear Chieftain

The Bear Chieftain is clothed with a knitted rug looking coat, ankle braclets and a tribal head dress featuring a base which is red with a band that is white and has a maroon zig-zag running across it and white tufts representing feathers. The Bear Chieftain also has tribal face painting on its face.
Atlan (Transformers)

The Train Team's most proficient fighter, **Atlan** (アトラン *Atoran*) can often be found sparring with Iron Lift in long bouts that draw big crowds. His specialty is karate, and he relentlessly trains to keep his skills up and his systems in peak condition. Many believe that Atlan is the reason behind Sixtrain's fearsome punching strength.
Arizona night lizard

The **Arizona night lizard** (*Xantusia arizonae*) is a species of small smooth-skinned gray-brown lizards with dark spots that sometimes form partial lines down the back. The lizard has a slightly flattened head. The scales of the underside and tail are larger than those of the upper side. The lizard grows to a length of 6 to 10 cm.[2][3]

Despite its name, the Arizona night lizard is primarily active during the day. The lizard's range extends across west-central Arizona. It is usually found in rock crevices or under plant debris. Its diet consists of insects and spiders. The young of the lizard are born live, usually one or two around August or September.[4] As the lizard tends not to move about and generally avoids humans, not much is known about it.[3]
Bamboo foliage-gleaner

The **bamboo foliage-gleaner** (*Anabazenops dorsalis*), also known as the **crested foliage-gleaner** or **dusky-cheeked foliage-gleaner**, is a species of bird in the Furnariidae family. It is found in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru.

Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests.
Arenysuchus

***Arenysuchus*** (meaning "Arén crocodile") is an extinct genus of crocodyloid from Late Cretaceous (late Maastrichtianstage) deposits of north Spain. It is known from the holotype MPZ ELI-1, a partial skull from Elías site, and from the referred material MPZ2010/948, MPZ2010/949, MPZ2010/950 and MPZ2010/951, four teeth from Blasi 2 site. It was found by the researchers José Manuel Gasca and Ainara Badiola from the Tremp Formation, in Arén of Huesca, Spain. It was first named by Eduardo Puértolas, José I. Canudo and Penélope Cruzado-Caballero in 2011 and the type speciesis ***Arenysuchus gascabadiolorum***. The generic name refers to the finding site, and "suchus", from Greek meaning crocodile. The specific name honours the researchers who discovered the holotype.
Aurumon

**Aurumon** is a Bird Digimon whose name and design are derived from the owl (*Bubo virginianus*). It armor digivolved through the power of the Digi-Egg of Love. It excels in its scouting ability and primarily specializes in being active at night. Its night vision scope-eyes have the ability to detect opponents up to 1 km away in the dark, so it can approach and ambush them from behind. Because Aurumon's fundamental characteristic is "Scouting" rather than "Combat", its offensive power is not great, but it excels in ninja-like strikes that utilize the darkness.
Atlantic yellow-nosed albatross

The **Atlantic yellow-nosed albatross** (*Thalassarche chlororhynchos*) is a large seabird in the albatross family. The scientific name is from Ancient Greek. *Thalassarche* is from *thalassa*, "sea" and *arkhe*, "command", and *chlororhynchos* is from *khloros*, "yellow", and *rhunkhos*, "bill".[3]

This small mollymawk was once considered conspecific with the Indian yellow-nosed albatross and known as the **yellow-nosed albatross**. Some authorities still consider these taxa to be conspecific, such as the Clements checklist[4] and the SACC, which recognizes that a proposal is needed.[5]
Blast Off (FOC)

**Blast Off** may seem disgusted by those who cannot escape the atmosphere and reach the orbit on their own ability, but it's really a front to hide the loneliness when he's up there. He is also a bit of a speed demon, and is a bit reckless about it. Combining with the other Combaticons, they can form Bruticus.
Azara's night monkey

**Azara's night monkey** (*Aotus azarae*), also known as the **southern night monkey**, is a night monkey species from South America. It is found in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Peru and Paraguay.[2] The species is monogamous, with the males providing a large amount of parental care. It is named after Spanish naturalist Félix de Azara. Although primarily nocturnal, some populations of Azara's night monkey are unique among night monkeys in being active both day and night.[2] The species is listed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List.[2]
Archy (fire)

**Archies**[1] are enemies from *Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze* and soldiers of the Snowmad army. They appear to be close relatives to their namesake, borrowing an almost identical appearance, only being colored red instead of navy blue. Furthermore, they use the same attack technique and are less common.

Carrying a bow and a quiver of dead fish, fiery Archies usually tread back and forth slowly (some being completely stationary), having a focused look on their target. After a short time, they raise their bow and launch a fish bone. Unlike the fish shot by regular Archies, these catch fire as soon as they are shot and are dangerous to stomp on. They follow straight paths in the air and will break when they hit a wall.

Fiery Archies themselves are harmful to touch directly, but are vulnerable to any of the Kongs' attacks, such as stomping, rolling or barrel tossing. In Scorch 'n' Torch, a stationary fiery Archy is crushed by a Flaming Falling Totem Pole.
Atlantis Dragon

*Like the legendary City of Atlantis, the Atlantis Dragon was lost for countless centuries. Just this year, a pair of Atlantis Dragons emerged on the coast of a Caretaker's Island, with no memories, and a single egg. It's unknown where two recovered Atlantis Dragons spent the centuries, but some experts hypothesize they rested within the ruins of the City of Atlantis, and should they regain their memories, its location will be revealed. More is known about the moon than the deepest recesses of our oceans. Atlantis Dragons are said to know the secrets of the sea, but no Caretaker has been able to restore their ancestral memories. It is the dream of every Caretaker raising Atlantis Dragons to one day send them on a journey into the sea, to discover their history, unlock secrets, and maybe, locate their ancestors, and at last be home.*
Australian bandfish

The **Australian bandfish** (*Cepola australis*) is a species of bandfish in the family Cepolidae. It has been reported from the Indo-Pacific coastal regions of Australia, New Zealand, and New Caledonia, although some of these records may represent confusion with other species. It is found in deep tidal channels, where it makes burrows in mud. The maximum length recorded for this species is 25.0 centimetres (9.8 in).
AxeKnightmon

**AxeKnightmon** is a Dark Knight Digimon. It is the fused figure of SkullKnightmon and Axemon, who have exchanged cups of brotherhood. AxeKnightmon, who brings the older brother's ingenuity together with the younger brother's mobility, has become a first-class warrior. The skills of AxeKnightmon, who can use the "Twin Spear" it wields to thrust, slash, sweep, or throw as the situation calls for, are very advanced, and it is said there are few people powerful enough to fight AxeKnightmon fairly to its face and defeat it. While AxeKnightmon possesses that much competency, it will use any means to achieve its goals and won't hesitate to get its hands dirty, and sometimes it will even be willing to betray its own comrades. AxeKnightmon, who is furnished to an implacable depth with merit, is an opponent that you don't want to turn into an enemy, if you can help it.[5]
Black flying fox

The **black flying fox** or **black fruit bat** (*Pteropus alecto*) is a bat in the family Pteropodidae. It is among the largest bats in the world, but is considerably smaller than the largest species in its genus, *Pteropus*. The black flying fox is native to Australia, Papua New Guinea, and Indonesia. It is not a threatened species.
Ash-throated crake

The **ash-throated crake** (*Mustelirallus albicollis*) is a species of bird in the family Rallidae. It is found in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, French Guiana, Guyana, Paraguay, Peru, Suriname, Trinidad and Tobago, and Venezuela. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical seasonally wet or flooded lowland grassland and swamps.
Archaeotherium

***Archaeotherium*** (Greek: αρχαιοθήριον, meaning "ancient beast") is an extinct genus of entelodont artiodactyl endemic to North America during the Eocene and Oligocene epochs (38—24.8 mya), existing for approximately 6 million years.[1] *Archaeotherium* was about 1.2m tall at the shoulder and around 2m long and weighing around 270 kg.

Although superficially pig-like, *Archaeotherium*, along with all other entelodonts, was more closely related to anthracotheres, hippopotamuses, and whales. Evidence from the Wyoming Dinosaur Center suggests that the omnivorous *Archaeotherium*, like many modern predatory mammals, kept caches of food for times when their hunting was less successful.
August

**August** is the eighth month of the year in the Julian and Gregorian calendars, and the fifth of seven months to have a length of 31 days.[1] It was originally named *Sextilis* in Latin because it was the sixth month in the original ten-month Roman calendar under Romulus in 753 BC, and March was the first month of the year. About 700 BC, it became the eighth month when January and February were added to the year before March by King Numa Pompilius, who also gave it 29 days. Julius Caesar added two days when he created the Julian calendar in 46 BC (708 AUC), giving it its modern length of 31 days. In 8 BC, it was renamed in honor of Augustus. According to a Senatus consultum quoted by Macrobius, he chose this month because it was the time of several of his great triumphs, including the conquest of Egypt.[2]

In the Southern Hemisphere, August is the seasonal equivalent of February in the Northern Hemisphere. In many European countries, August is the holiday month for most workers. Numerous religious holidays occurred during August in ancient Rome.[3]

Certain meteor showers take place in August. The Kappa Cygnids take place in August, with the dates varying each year. The Alpha Capricornids meteor shower takes place as early as July 10 and ends at around August 10, and the Southern Delta Aquariids take place from mid-July to mid-August, with the peak usually around July 28–29. The Perseids, a major meteor shower, typically takes place between July 17 and August 24, with the days of the peak varying yearly. The star cluster of Messier 30 is best observed around August.

Among the aborigines of the Canary Islands, especially among the Guanches of Tenerife, the month of August received in the name of Beñesmer or Beñesmen, which was also the harvest festival held this month.[4][5]
