Weird Wonderlings

Eyeglass Roller

A creature that much resembles a Pangolin, it is a mammal the size of a raccoon that feeds mostly off shrubbery and small mammals like mice. It is noted, however, for its translucent glass scales that coat its back and tail, where it's name is derived. The quality and color of these scales varies on the sand present in the region, for when a scale falls off from damage or disease, the Roller eats sand to regenerate its defenses. This process is still physiologically unexplainable. They are hunted for their scales.

Jabber

A bear like creature, Jabbers moslty consume meat and small amounts of rocks to aid digestion, they are well known for their ability to mimic voices nearly perfectly, the only way to know it's a Jabber you're talking to is of it speaks quickly and about random topics.

Magi-Gators

Alligators whose ancestors somehow acquired magical skill have the chance to become Magi-Gators. While looks vary widely, the most common Magi-Gator has three eyes and the ability to track down other magical beings.

Necro Wasps

A magical breed of wasps that nest in the corpses that create wisps and other similar undead beings. They will try to make the hive larger by killing travelers and having the corpse hauled close to another nest.

haha

The creature resembles a small, black cockroach, and is remarkable for the aura it visibly projects, causing it to appear like a "fuzzy" black spot from a distance. The aura is visible through physical objects, including anything from eyelids to iron fortifications, for some distance. Specimens safe underground tend to cause frustration for predatory birds and other animals, who strike at the aura fruitlessly. They are considered pest animals when they swarm, because of their propensity to seek heat and restless sleepers. Though their diet consists of a variety of moulds and thus plagues are relatively harmless, the projection of their auras en masse is visually repellent, especially when trying to sleep.

Freezefly

While at first glance appearing to be a perfectly normal fly - albeit with a strange icy-blue color - the Freezefly has quite a nasty surprise. When a Freezefly is squished, its body lets out a small blast of frost - a nasty surprise for anyone that gets close. While normally not usually more than an annoyance or nasty surprise for the general populace, their real menace shows in their attraction to heat - they can often be found in equatorial zones, and their icy blasts often are the cause of doused fires and property damage.

Cave suns

Rather than becoming dull and blind in the darkness of the underground, these creatures' progenitor found its way to the well of the sun and drank full, developing a blinding bioluminesence. Their skin, their fur, their teeth, every aspect of their body shines with such brilliance as to cause permanent damage if stared at for too long, illuminating the cavernous passageways and scaring off potential predators. Small mammals that they are, they subsist off stagnate pools and the fungus that clings to the craggy walls. Adventurers will often delve deep below in search of one of these creatures, hoping to entrap it and butcher, as it takes decades for the light to drain from the creature's flesh. Paws or tails or eyes get put in obfuscated jars and used as a non-depleting lantern.

The Tenasi Dying Goat

A breed of small goats that traditionally lived wild in the cedar-covered mountains of Tenasi. To avoid their main predators (large eagles that circle open glades in the woods) they developed an illusory trick. When a shadow falls upon them suddenly, the goats go stiff-legged and collapse, and their body appears to quickly rot away until only bleached bone and patches of hair remain. The illusion lasts only a few seconds, which hopefully gives the goat enough time to regain it's feet and sprint into the shelter of the trees.

Some farmers maintain their own herds of Tenasi Goat, as they swear that the cashmere produced is finer and softer than any other breed. Most prefer to stick with traditional goats, as even the temporary smell of decay gets tiresome after the ninth time that day.

Blood Sapper

Despite the name, the creature is benign in all sense. The blood of heroes passed was cursed with undeath once parted from the body, but as the centuries went by, the mystical tampering devorced the blood genetically from the owner as it crawls on the dungeon floors. It has developed enough to have a paper thin skin the shape of a ball, rolling around aimlessly in the dark and dangerous places of this world. It subsists of the blood of others, essentially keeping the crypt clean

The Compass Tortoise

a small tortoise with a pattern on it's shell that shifts to always form an arrow that is pointing towards magnetic north. No one knows why it has this feature, as the Tortoise do not seem to follow the compass or need it.

Hodgeman's Tiger ('The Mother's Terror')

This rare breed of jungle cat was only positively identified by paranaturalists in the last century, along native folklore referenced it frequently. It possesses a preternatural ability to detect positive emotions across distances - the stronger the emotion and the more people sharing it, the greater the range, up to perhaps forty miles. It uses this ability to locate large groups of prey and attack while they are distracted. Although they can eat animals, they prefer humans, possibly due to the stronger and more complex emotions. During festivals and other outdoor events in local villages, there are guards - usually older men and women - who stay outside the area and keep a watch for these man-eaters.

Sea Griffins

They're a griffin creature but if it was between a seagull and a cat. Made by a mad wizard and got out of control; they've overbred the other pests like rats, pigeons, stray cats, etc because they're just an all-around better predator/scavenger than the rest. They're not particularly dangerous because they're still about the size of a housecat; it's just fuckn annoying going down to the docks where the you have flocks of seagulls ballsy enough to sneak in and steal your catch while screaming at you.

Boon Ape

A monkey which has evolved alongside all animals across the world in a similar way to the way dogs evolved alongside men. Still valuing independence, they are extremely nimble and evasive creatures, difficult to eat for most predators. It is the natural instinct of all living things to nurture these creatures, giving them gifts of food, sharing shelter, and showing them water. It is also the natural instinct of the boon ape to do favors for creatures who aid them.

Stealth Fox

Slightly bigger than but otherwise indistinguishable from an ordinary woodland fox, the stealth fox has the ability to turn itself invisible, which it uses both to hunt prey and evade predators.

Walkyweed

A curious creature, the walkyweed is known to adventurers who camp near them, and hide as an ordinary plant should anyone approach it.

Stealth Snake

A large snake with unusual intelligence, known for primitive tool use such as sticks or rocks, and abnormal problem solving abilities. However, the trait that sets it apart from the rest of the creatures you may find in the wilds is its compulsory need to infiltrate any lair, city, dungeon, den, ect. Whether the result of an ancient curse or some faulty deductive reasoning, they will always try to find a way to sneak into places it isnt allowed. Often carried around by sneaktheives at their wit's end, who let them loose to find a way to penetrate their mark.

jellywisp

A breed of jellyfish which inhabit bogs, marshes, wetlands, etc. They're no larger than the average human palm and can crawl short distances on land, similar to octopi. A chemical reaction starts up in their bodies after death which causes them to glow yellow-green. Once a year, before the first winter snows, they gather in huge spawning pools. They die after breeding; before expiry, they wander the swamps, depositing larvae in underwater sediments and soft, damp earth. The late autumn marshes glow bright with dead jellies. In the spring, the larvae emerge from stasis, returning to the water.

Woodcrafter

A native of the western woods, it's notable for it's bright red plumage and the intricacy with which it carves it's homes. Using it's iron-hard beak, it produces perfect angles in bizarre patterns as it makes nests and carves up trees to get at the grubs within.

Unbarbers

Originally created by a wizard fond of practical jokes these extra hairy caterpillars have since escaped and bred in the wild. While harmless they have the rather annoying behavior of seeking out sleeping humans and attaching themselves to their faces in ways that resemble natural facial hair (usually mustaches or eyebrows). Once attached a mild magical suggestion leaves the individual they are attached to with the belief that the caterpillars are in fact their natural facial hair.

Rakkits

An undead rabbit. Rakkits are not dangerous, as they are either incapable or unwilling to hurt anything. They are typically found burrowing an endless series of tunnels, and tend not to surface, even for food. However, many people still dislike them due to their undead nature, and are considered a pest.

Cuddlecub

A popular folktale has the progenitor of this enormous breed created by a lonely wizard in the far north, who wanted companionship through his long years of study. Many love their affectionate nature and supernatural ability to calm and console. However, many herdsmen are very wary of them - it's easy for a lost lamb to be scooped up by a Cuddlecub, magically contented, and never seen again.
