MarrowGrub
MarrowGubs are viscous, carrion eating insects which infest the jungle floors of a far away, undeveloped planet. They are known to reduce a corpse to nothing within a day of death. There are cases of living creatures being infested with MarrowGub larva though ingesting tainted meat. Such cases are almost always fatal, as the first signs do not arrive until the creatures have already hatched and are busily eating their way through the host's digestive track.

Octosaurus Rex
The Octosaurus Rex is the third attempt by the Cristix corporation to enter the designer pet market. Hundreds of man-hours and hundreds of thousands of R&D dollars were spent in it's development. When it was finally unveiled there was immediate backlash from parent groups. No one seemed interested in purchasing what was obviously a dangerous animal as a pet. The few that were sold had a tendency to grow to out of control sizes - some 20 feet or more due to the dinosaur DNA. The Cristix Corporation never recovered from this debacle, and today exists solely as an online distributor of shovelware.

Kamogui
The Kamogui is a species of demon which were created by demonic alchemists from various parts of souls, demons, and animals. The creatures' primary function is to act as steeds for higher demon lords. Kamogui are usually created to order, and thus may be encountered with any number of heads, limbs, spines, etc.

Lophamorite
Lophamorites are strange, amphibious mutants, the result of splicing primate and Anglerfish DNA. Specimens quickly escaped into the wild and began breeding out of control, however after an extensive culling operation they have settled into an ecological niche. The creatures organize themselves into troops like chimps or baboons, with an alpha male at the head. During the spawning season males will fight for dominance, oftentimes to the death. Spawning with produce an abnormal amount of pups, most of which will be picked off by predators or cannibalized by older Lophamorites, although every few seasons systematic culling is reinstated to keep the population down.

Gracilite
Gracilites are very lean, graceful creatures. They come from a planet with very low gravity, which allows for their unique skeletal structure. Gracilites are originally descended from grassland dwelling predators, and as such have developed a highly ritualized, warrior culture. They often volunteer themselves as mercenaries in conflicts off planet in search of glory and battle, but must wear elaborate custom made gravity harnesses on most other worlds.

Trandohsanite
Natives of the planet Trandoh. A mature adult grows between 4-6 feet tall. Trandohsanites do not posses a hard skeletal structure. Instead their rubber bodies are supported by an intricate network of interlocking tubules, which give them the ability to stretch their bodies in unnatural positions. They can thus squeeze through very small cracks or compact their bodies into tiny areas. Trandohsanites do not possess eyelids, and must keep their eyes constantly moist. For this reason when encountered off planet they will usually be seen wearing some sort of eye protection.

Octoparachix
The Octoparachix is the second attempt of the Cristix corporation to break into the genetically engineered designer pet market after the failed Dwurm debacle. DNA was taken from a chicken, parrot, and octopus. The resulting creature, dubbed "Octoparachix" was extremely dangerous, known to attack small children and eat other pets (cats, dogs, etc.) Some financial success was made selling the creature to security firms to be used as attack dogs.

Ksckongho the Undefeated
Ksckongho is a slave, forced to compete in the Intergalactic Gladiator Federation. Years ago Ksckongho made a living as a petty criminal enforcer for a small time gang. One day Ksckongho made a fatal mistake, and threw his weight around too much and fatally injured the son of an important government official. Armed soldiers broke into his living quarters and kidnapped him. Before he knew it, Ksckongho found himself physically altered beyond recognition and fighting for his life.
Instead of bemoaning his fate, Ksckongho swore revenge on those who "set him up." Each fighter is forced into 100 fights, and so far Ksckongho has emerged undefeated.

Siccarrous
Large, voracious spider-like insects which live in deep underground caves. Siccarrous are not true spiders, having only six legs. They generally live in small groups, and feed off of the smaller insects, birds, rodents, and bats which make up the ecosystems in their habitat. Although the Siccarrous are generally harmless, they can be dangerous when encountered in large numbers.

The New Delhi Monkey Man
The New Delhi Monkey Man is described as a four foot tall humanoid monkey, that attacked people in the middle of the night, with glowing eyes and sharp claws. While the early incidents showed a fur covered creature similar to the Yeti or Bigfoot, later reports tell of the Monkey Man wearing a uniform and helmet. Theories of what the Monkey Man could be range all over the map, such as a cryptid, an avatar of the Hindu god Hanuman, an alien, or even an escaped government experiment.
Is the Monkey Man real? In all likelihood no. As time goes on the creature evolves from what could be a real animal to an urban legend-type character (such as Spring Heeled Jack.) The evolution of reports of the New Delhi Monkey Man read as a classic case study in mass hysteria.

Googlipid
Googlipids are strange little octopus-like mutants, spawned from the interactions between radioactive waste and raw sewage. They tend to multiply quickly but have a very short lifespan (1-3 weeks at most.) Swarms of Googlipids are quickly displacing native species along the North American east coast, and are severely impacting local fishing industries.

Spqoogiliwink
Bizarre creatures which share amphibious , mammalian, and insect characteristics. Spqoogiliwinks are hatched from eggs, and spend the first six months of their lives underwater in an immature, tadpole like state. They then pupate into a cocoon for a year, to emerge into their adult forms. Spqoogiliwinks have three eyes and thus possess extremely adept hand eye coordination and depth perception.

BilibiBat
BilibiBats are short, round creatures with abnormally large necks. Their planet is comparable to Earth in size but exerts one tenth of the gravity. This allows the BilibiBat to fly with it's small wings and maintain it's long neck. BilibiBats usually do not travel off planet, but when they do they must wear a very constricting gravity harness.

Tarkarchos
Tarkarchos are space borne parasites. They usually inhabit areas where organic compounds may be found, such as nebulae, planetary rings, or asteroid fields. Early stages of infection appear as a common cold, however within a few days strange lesions appear on the skin. Eventually the lesions develop into Tarkarchos larvae, which if left untreated will burst fully formed after consuming the host's body from the inside out.

Dwurm
Dwurms are the result of a failed venture into the designer pet market by the Cristix corporation. Created by genetically engineering a duck with lizard, bot fly, and deep sea worm genes. The resulting animal, while stable, was generally thought of as "ugly" by consumers. After widespread reports of Dwurms running away and migrating south for the winter they were pulled from the market.

Ranambulatis - the "Frog Walker"
Large creatures that inhabit thickly forested wetlands. The Ranambulatis have been nicknamed "Frog Walkers" by early explorers due to their vague resemblance to the Earthly amphibian. The Ranambualits is actually a type of warm blooded reptilian. It's powerful legs allow the creature to run down prey, some of which have been clocked at 90 kpm.

Scriven Malignifus
Scriven Malignifus is a lesser demon who's primary function is to scribe the events of the demonic planes. As the myriad Hell dimensions are constantly at war with one another (and themselves) his task is a great one. Somewhere in his own pocket dimension lies the library of Scriven Malignifus, where lie untold volumes which chronicle the history of Hell back to the creation.

Gzlob
Gzlobs are a hardy race. Their skin is tough and rubbery, and can resist high velocity shell impacts or electrical discharges. They come from a very large, dense world, and as such have what appears to be abnormal strength for their size. They do not breathe planetary atmospheres, and have no adverse reactions to extreme heat, cold, or pressure. They are thus able to survive in any number of hostile environments, including at the bottom of oceans or in the vaccum of space (for limited periods of time.)

Zombabomen
A Zombadomen an animated stomach which is separated from a dead zomibe and given unlife though magical means. Due to it's boneless nature a Zombadomen can squeeze through small cracks and crevices. Any matter the creature consumes is excreted half-digested from whatever remains of the lower intestinal tract. Zombadomens have a short life span of a few days at best, and are usually employed for targeted assassinations.
