## Banshee Clams

* Mollusca,  invertebrate.
* 0.70 m to 1.2 m.
* They are large with a black coloured shell, with 3 white dots on their head. Their shells are really durable, yet the meat they have beneath it tastes like eels but has a scaly texture, not too different from that of a snake. Because of this, as well as their remarkable size, they’re considered a culinary delight.
* Marine (Photic)
* As a defense mechanism, once they’re opened by force, the banshee clams have the capacity to emit high frequency noises that are extremely loud underwater, capable of stunning and scaring most of the wild life around it. However these noises do not travel as smoothly on the surface as they do otherwise, so opening them on there is completely safe, albeit a bit loud.

## Quear

* Anseriformes
* 20cm
* They carry a physiology similar to that of a duck, albeit a lot smaller and their feathers being colored brown and yellow. The main difference with the latter however would be their lack of bills, having instead snouts not unlike those of bears. It is worth mentioning that while small, they do have teeth.
* Various ponds and lakes.
* Because of their meekness and their appearance, humans do not mind them much and have thus adapted to human settlements that were built around a body of water. Although their diet is mostly a frugive one,  there were numerous sightings of them feeding of small animals such as rodents if said food was not available to them. They seem to purr whenever they’re in a good mood, and while not very effective they can manage to give a tiny roar whenever they feel angry.

## Seroklestee

* Kingdom: Animalia; Phylum: Chordata; Class: Mammalia; Order: Carnivora, Family: Serodae, Genus: Seroklesterus

* Head-body Length: 40-50 cm (15-20 inch); Height: 20-25 cm (8-10 inch)
* This creature is a type of mammal common to the northern forests. It's about the size of a cat, has six legs, with the front two pairs having developed to grab and hold objects with long fingers, and possessing a twin-ended tail that is up to half its body-length.
* They have a thin, delicate skin covered in short, soft hairs which can range from beige to deep-brown in color. In the winter their fur sheds and changes coloration to white. Seroklestee are marsupials, possessing a small pouch on their stomach, which they use not only to carry their younglings, but also any prized possessions or simply using it for storage. During the mating season in the spring, the male Seroklestee shed their fur once again for a brightly-colored patterned coat that varies between individuals. Male Seroklestees seem to have control over what colors and patterns their fur becomes, and compete with other males for the female’s attention not only with their fur, but also with intricate dance rituals. They have large eyes and small pointed ears. Their heads are relatively small in comparison to their bodies. They make sounds ranging from fairly high pitched to extremely low pitched and have a large range of sounds they make to indicate discoveries, dangers and otherwise communicate with each other. Seroklestee are also known to “sing”, usually in the beginning of spring, when large groups of them will gather and hum rhythmically and harmoniously together. During such rituals, they become very dangerous, and if anyone disturbs their song, they will go into a frenzy, and attack relentlessly until the perpetrator is either chased off or killed, all the while continuing to hum in unison, but in malicious and intimidating tones. Seroklestee live in wintry areas and are quite common in forests, with the Thessashire Woodland being quite famous for them. They're omnivores and their long, narrow mouths, their teeth and rough tongue are ideal for eating creatures, though they are known to eat plant food as well. Their preferred prey are small rodents, like Pemipus. They're crepuscular and rely on their sight and taste buds to get around. They can see very well in the dark. They do have tiny noses, but their sense of smell isn’t particularly developed, being about on par with that of an average human. They live in dug holes which they carefully mask to avoid being found, and are masters at hiding and avoiding predators. Some are known to live in hollowed out logs and trees. Seroklestee also possess the ability to jump to considerable heights, coupled with an as-of-yet unexplained skill to hover gently downwards, slowing their descent. Seroklestee remain one of the most well-known and sought-after furbearers in the northern forests, both for their soft and warm pelt and the intricate color they have in the spring. Despite that, Seroklestee’s population remains more or less constant, as they are very careful animals and are very difficult to catch.
* Hardwood Forest (Dry Forest) / Coniferous (Temperate)
* Fur Coloration: In spring, Seroklestee shed their fur for a brightly-colored patterned coat, which individuals have a degree of control over, being used by males in mating rituals to one-up competitors. The fur is a prized trophy for fur traders and poachers, but is difficult to acquire both due to Seroklestee being extremely difficult to catch or trap, and due to how delicate their coat is, making it difficult to capture a Seroklestee without damaging it.

* Singing: Seroklestee have a wide vocal range and use sounds to communicate with others of their species, and have a social singing ritual. Seroklestee raised in captivity are rarely known to sing, though there is at least one account of a pet Seroklestee mimicking the sound  of speech of its caretakers. It is unknown if Seroklestee understand the concept of speech.

* Jump: Seroklestee are amazing jumpers, using this skill to hunt the elusive and cautious Pemipu, pouncing on them from above.

## Weeping Crickets

* Orthopteran Insect
* 1 cm
* The Weeping Cricket is a pitch black insect with white circles on them, covering their whole body. Like most crickets, they have six legs and wings.
* Hardwoord Forest (Rainforest) / Hardwood Forest (Dry Forest) / Hardwood Forest (Temperate) / Coniferous (Taiga) / Coniferous (Temperate) / Coniferous (Sub-tropical) / Scrub (Shrubby) / Scrub (Xerophilous) / Scrub (Paramo) / Grasslands (Prairie) / Grasslands (Steppe) / Grasslands (Savannah) / Grasslands (Alpine meadow) / Tundra
* The Weeping Cricket stands out from most cricket in the way that it's the female that makes the chirping sound. After a Weeping cricket has mated with their partner, and they begin to lay eggs, they start to die off. While they die, and lay their eggs, their wings produce the sound of a person weeping. This sound is much louder than the male chirping, and can scare people if they produce it unnoticably. After the last egg has been laid, the weeping stops and they die.

## Chasmfiend

* Crustacean
* 27-30 ft.
* Giant crustaceans that can grow up to 30 ft. wide and nearly twice as long as their height. Chasmfiends this big however are really rare to find nature, as the very environment they are in limits the size they usually manage to achieve.  They are long and narrow, and possess an extremely strong carapace in a series of interlocking plates that sport horn-like protrusions. They have a flattened tail and small, glossy green eyes set above their jaw, which are attached to a set of two small foreclaws that allow them to manipulate objects and pick up food. Their nostrils are located at the back of their maws, and their ears are located right behind the eyes.
* They possess 18 legs, with the four foreclaws set into powerful shoulders, ending in two clawed toes. These are the primary method of attack for chasmfiends, using them to slice or smash prey. Behind these forecalws are smaller limbs that provide locomotion. Although Chasmfiends are mostly sedentary, one of these animals can move surprisingly fast when it has to, and has the agility to manoeuvre tight chasms with ease.
* Chasmfiends are typically hunted for their gemhearts which fetch a lot of jenny, and they pose quite a threat to human life as they are highly protective of their brood, attacking anything - even other chasmfiends - that come within range of them. They are typically ambush hunters, using the winding nature of chasms and ravines to confuse prey and attack them unaware, but in a head-on fight, they are formidable predators.

## Magranae

* Vertebrate
* 2.26 meters
* The Magranae is a carnivorous frog, having a size that is not different from the Frog-in-waiting, which is believed by the scientific community to be a close relative. Besides the elements typical of those of a normal frog, Magranaes sport sharp teeth. It is usually found at the bottom of large bodies of water, shooting its tongue at anything large enough to be considered a meal. Sometimes, when it's on the hunt, it will go to the surface, keeping its eyes just barely above the water, scouring for its prey.
* Freshwater / Coniferous (Sub-tropical)
* It eats almost anything that moves. It usually leaves its young after laying eggs to avoid the temptation of eating them, resulting in a high mortality rate for them at a young age. While its mouth is extremely powerful, and it can jump great lengths, the rest of its body is rather weak.

## Floofies

* Vertebrate , mamalia
* 1.3m
* The floofie is similar in appearance to a sheep, differing in the color of their fur (this being purple with black polka dots) and having only one eye, which is yellow.
* Grasslands (Prairie)
* Some individuals curiously like to keep members from this species as pets. Their fur is highly priced on the market, with some companies preferring this type of wool because of its high quality, it being extremely soft. When winter arrives they gather together and make pyramids on top of each other to make themselves comfy.

## Sliced Python (Python Tetradiástato)

* Kingdom: Animalia; Phylum: Chordata; Class: Reptilia; Order: Squamata; Suborder: Serpentes; Family: Pythonidae; Genus: Python; Species: Python Tetradiastae
* Head-body Length: 1.5-10 m (5-35 ft) (Presumed, true length unknown);  Mass: 4-90 kg (9-200 lbs) (can be larger)
* Sliced Python is a large python, native to the Central and Western Azia, most often found in various habitats across the Federation of Ochima including tropical forest, savanna, grassland, semidesert, and rocky areas. Sliced Python bears resemblance to reticulated python, sharing its size, slim body build and diet, consisting of mammals and birds, which it hunts by patiently lying in ambush, and waiting until prey wanders within strike range before seizing it in its coils and killing it by constriction. They have a similar scale pattern to reticulated pattern, but can be easily distinguished by red scales where the reticulated python has gold scales.

* Where the Sliced Python differs from other Python, or in fact most any other creature in the world, is its peculiar innate ability to ‘turn’ the direction of its body on an axis perpendicular to the three spatial dimensions, effectively entering a fourth spatial dimension, hence its official name “Tetradeastae” - Four Dimensional. This ability allows the python to partially exit observable space and use the fourth dimension for added maneuverability and for hiding. It has a very distinct movement cycle, incorporating entering and exiting the fourth dimension as it undulates forward, resulting in an apparent effect of separate parts of the snake becoming disjointed, appearing and disappearing as it moves, giving it its common name, “Sliced Python”.

* Sliced Pythons use their tetradimensional mobility for a variety of effects. While it is insofar unknown what kind of physical objects the snake interacts with in the fourth dimension, it can use it to hide for ambushing prey, gain a ‘foothold’ on unsteady surfaces or maneuver around tight spaces, as well as bypass obstacles and obstructions, which allows these snakes to even crawl through walls, though such cases are rare as Sliced Python tend to stay away from human habitats. Another use the sliced python finds for its tetradimensional mobility is in killing its prey, being able to constrict it literally from the inside as it bypasses its skin and muscle through the fourth dimension and coil around its internal organs.

* Sliced Pythons sense their surroundings via vibration, having acute hearing, and their sense of smell/taste is extremely well developed allowing them to sample their surroundings by the smells in the air via their tongue. It is presumed that they are either blinded or severely limited in their senses when their head is in the fourth dimension, as no Sliced Python has been observed moving their head there - the movement always starts from behind the head, and the section directly behind the head is the one spending the most time there. It is very difficult to observe this snake, as they dislike errant vibration, and avoid large groups of humans. It isn’t known if Sliced Python preys on humans. Due to that, there is little known about their biology, behavior, ecology, reproduction, or the exact mechanism of its tetradimensional locomotion.

* Hardwoord Forest (Rainforest) / Coniferous (Sub-tropical) / Grasslands (Savannah) / Desert (Sand)
* Tetradimensional Locomotion: This python possesses the ability to turn its body in the fourth dimension, and use it to move, hide and hunt. Due to that ability, the python appears "sliced", missing segments of its body while still maintaining its structural integrity.

## Panthera Rosa Lion Rose

* Vertebrate
* 1.5 m - 2.3 m
* The Lion Rose is a relatively large quadrupedal creature resembling normal lions in shape. It’s skin also resembles them, however it’s fur is uncharacteristically green and has a grass-like texture. They don’t have a tail, and they are most recognizable for their unique facial features, having a rose-petal shaped mane. From behind it spur several roots, and it’s color can vary between red, white and blue. Female specimens lack this characteristic mane however, but they still have its roots. Finally, their nose is much larger and it’s eyes much smaller compared to their relatives, and they have a more wider forehead where two yellow antennas spur from.
* Hardwoord Forest (Rainforest) / Coniferous (Sub-tropical)
* Suspected to have appeared as a result of a millennia long symbiotic relationship between two species, the Lion Rose has the unique property of being the only known vertebrate to be able to photosynthesize. They achieve this by standing completely still while being directly struck by the sun. They are omnivorous and reproduce by pollination, however females breed like every other mammal.

* While they can eat meat and posses claws and fangs, they are normally meek and sedentary, choosing to live near lakes and large bodies of water, preferably without too much trees and whatnot blocking the sun and with lots of humidity in the air. If the creature finds itself in extreme circumstances however, they are able to secrete an extremely sweet and enticing aroma to attract possible prey. This aroma may also be used to attracts bugs to promote pollination. At night, male specimens have been observed closing their petals around their face to sleep. They travel in packs of around 4 to 8 individuals.

## Worikan

* Arachnida
* About the size of a small Scorpion (2 inches in length)
* A small 8 legged creature with an exoskeleton strong enough to withstand a bullet, Worikans are very tiny with a stinger at the end of their tails. They also have a chain of command similar to ants, with a queen’s stinger having enough venom to kill an animal the size of a rino. They are very intelligent, and have many different strategies for catching prey. Workians are very light, so they tend to use their stingers as hooks to stay under branches, waiting for some sort of small animal to crawl under them. They will either feed themselves or give their food to their queen. However, after years of examination scientists still have not found out how they reproduce.
* Desert (Sand)
* These creatures are very rare to find, and their venom is very valuable for its potential in fatal weapons and explosives if gathered up.

## Angler Alligator

* Crocodilia
* Approx. 20-25ft in length, roughly 1000-1500lbs.
* This animal closely resembles the common alligator, but it has much darker green scales in comparison.
* The Angler Alligator lives up to its name, with a protruding antenna atop their heads that is capable of bioluminescence. The Angler Alligator is capable of flaying it in a manner similar to that of bugs in order to serve as bait to entice unlucky patrons that are looking for a small snack. Once an animal tries to catch it, the alligator will normally jump and eat them.
* Found within stagnant swamps that have ceased running water flow.
* They only hunt at night, to utilize their angler antennas. Very solemn and patient creatures, they’ll never attack first but once their antenna is provoked, they have an insatiable bloodlust for their targets.

## Sunflower Spider

* Arachnida
* 8-10in body size, with legs of about 12-16in
* It has an all black wart covered body, as well as  8 outstretching yellow legs they mimic the petals as well. Using their unique coloring, the Sunflower Spider is capable of mimicking the head of a sunflower. They perch on top of the latter’s head and patiently wait for its prey.
* Grasslands (Prairie) / Farm Land
* The Sunflower Spider has the peculiarity of hunting in large groups. By utilizing this method of attack, the Sunflower Spider can target prey much larger than themselves, on the condition that it is divided amongst each individual. Curiously they do not have poison, however by sheer numbers alone they are said to be able to earth whole a human being in a matter of minutes, often compared to piranhas in that aspect.

## Bullet fish

* Vertebrate

* 1-2 inches

* The Bullet fish is a marine creature typically found in moderately shallow waters (100 meters and up). Each individual fish is similar to a cone in shape, the base being it’s head while the tail is located at its end. Their scales are silver in color and have particularly sturdy ones round it’s face, being almost as hard as metal.

* Marine (Photic) / Marine (Aphotic)

* These can be seen in schools of upto 150 fishes. As their name suggests, these fish are around the fastest animals in the animal kingdom, their swimming speeds achieving 200 kilometers per hour. Whenever they feel threatened, they collectively embist the threat in question, taking advantage of their sturdy “faces”. Records exist of cargo ships having numerous dents around their base, this being the result of passing near a school of Bullet fishes.

## Venus Flying Trap

* Caryophyllales
* 12-14in
* It’s physiology is nearly identical to that of a normal Venus Flytrap, however it’s “mouth” is similar to the wings of a butterfly, and it’s capable of flapping it open and closed to create an up drift which can be used to fly over short distances. The method of hunting the Venus Flying Trap normally consists of sticking themselves to high branches using their special ability, hang in there in search of prey and attacking them from above, letting go of the branch.
* Hardwood Forest (Temperate) / Coniferous (Sub-tropical)
* Although it was previously believed to be a type of plant, recent studies point to it actually being an animal, since despite their resemblance the Venus Flying Trap does not actually have roots nor is capable of photosynthesizing. They rarely are seen flying since it consumes a lot of energy to do it, and their diet consists of small rodents and large insects.

## Eight-Eyed Monkey Spider

* Primate
* 1.5 metres when upright
* Members of this species share the same traits as apes, however with some key differences. They have 2 extra pairs of limbs, which they use to move more efficiently through the trees as well as a separate pair of hands. As their name implies, the Eight-eyed Monkey Spider has 2 sets of 4 eyes instead of the typical two. As a curious fact, they also lack a tail.
* Coniferous (Temperate) / Hardwoord Forest (Rainforest)
* They live in small communities deep inside their habitats and are believed to be among the small group of animals to have their own language, which consists mostly of shouting and visual signals and expressions. They are omnivorous, however they do have a paralyzing venom in their fangs. Finally, each community is extremely territorial; it’s not an uncommon sight to see the two groups enter violent conflict.
