This is Day One
This creature is a(n): Magnus Pilosus Rattus aka Big Fuzzy Rat Thing
This is its story: In the history of Dupal, the Pilosus was discovered by locals of the Seaford traders and Shepherds. Very similar to the Rodentia species order, it was a tasty delicacy for the weary traveler, but the thick abundant hair took away from the cuisine. The Fuzzy Rat has become extinct not from habitat abuse or neglect, but nearly from their ability to cause distraction to those who seek it. Their legs are made of a solid bone density that can penetrate steep cliffs, which added with their brown outer-coat gives them a great place to hide from natural predators. These creatures are known to eat only vegetation (aka herbivores) but little else is known of their eating habits. A Pilosus Rattus has not been sited for over a quarter of a century! Have you seen one yet?



I knew what that really was lol... :P

This is Day One
This creature is a(n): Clackity Buttasaurus
This is its story: This strange creature have quite the unique call as unlike most creatures it has two butts on both it's extremities, it's mouth being under it protected by it's sharp horn-like hooves that grow at an astounding meter a day as they are very fragile and break every night in a attempt to catch the fireflies that they are very fond of. The cry referenced earlier is an extremely noisy flatulence generated by two buts at once, making this creature very easy to spot but very hard to kill and eat for it's would be predators. Fond of stargazing, this little creature will put itself on it's back at night and with eyes found near it's toothless mouth will watch the sky all night long, occasionally spearing the unfortunate firefly that got too close with it's multiple horns, a most swift and brutal end for any creature.

This nightly ritual is however when the Buttasaurus is the most vulnerable and it's principal predator, the Noseless Bigacorpus, will often take advantage of such opportunity to end the poor smelly creature, though it sometimes end with a very painful six horn attack that make them go away with their tree tails between their legs.

This creature is a(n): NoCornu Bulkie
This is its story: Upon stumbling onto this common looking creature, the scientist were stumped. until they had discovered mystical properties in the DNA they were able to safely acquire from the specimen. . They had discovered the missing link of the rare Bulkie! This beautiful exotic creature roams in the forest. Only one had been seen, but never captured. They are deer-like creature with golden fur and large golden horns, said to grant wishes. However none has even been able to prove they exist. But now with this discovery, we can now prove they had indeed existed and there may still yet be a Bulkie in the world today!

I'm excited people know about these things. We tried to have fun with what we managed to hunt up when we could, so it makes this even more rewarding imo.

This is Day One
This creature is a(n): Mutatur Formica, or "Mutatus Antus" if you go by the high-schoolers' way calling it.
This is its story:
She spoke in a leathery voice as she gazed into the distance, sharing a tale she hadn't told in years. "Quite a while ago, in my father's time, on an island somewhat far away, a company was testing a creation of oozey liquid; what is was for, we don't know because it was classified information. So why do we know about it at all now?
Because unfortunately, something went awry -- or rather, someone went awry. No one's exactly sure what happened, because they kind of died later (please don't interrupt! I'll get to that in a moment!). You see, what this person did was they stole the whole batch of this oozey stuff - not a sample, not a chunk, not even a bucketful; they stole the whole batch.
People figured the company must've been close to creating whatever it was they were trying to make, because the amount that was stolen was equal to five or so jugs of bleach. Actually, that was what he rolled it out in: empty, sterilized, plastic bleach jugs, on one of those shiny trays used for transporting stuff from room to room. However, he tripped an alarm on his way out.
Everyone figures that's why he went down to the sewers -- an alarm went off and of course that had to have spoiled his plan; well, they chased him around in the sewers, and did some shooting.... My father was one of the first men to find the thief's corpse, but he hadn't died because of them. The jugs had taken some bullet holes, and were leaking; and there were some mutated creatures -- spiders, ants, and rats -- swimming in the stuff, except for a few of the mutated ants which were feeding on the corpse of the ooze thief.
I'd heard they'd sealed off the sewers, quarantining the exits as well just in case; and that within a few months they had exterminated all of the creatures and burned their corpses too. But this taxidermied creature looks a lot like the mutated ants in the old photo he showed me. I hope, for all our sakes, it's not.





@CaptainHowdy; Darnit. I was just making a slight edit. xD
Sorry for the trouble. xD
Also, you misspelled something. :P

This is Day One
This creature is a(n): Umptalla
This is its story: The Umptalla is a beast nocturnal by nature never seen too far from the water's edge. Once a subject of many scientific queries regarding its blind-sighteness, it was recently discovered that the animal "sees" by a variation on the method of echolocation; rather than sending out sound and recording the sound reflections this is done through vibrations. The front legs are primarily used in tapping while the rear legs pick up on the reverberations as they bounce off neighboring objects. This provides a surprisingly detailed image of both things on and under the ground. Not surprising the Umptalla feeds off bivalves and other small organisms burrowed under the soft beach soils.

This is Day One
This creature is a(n): Clawrus Drumstick
This is its story: This is actually just the foot of the mysterious one-legged clawrus drumstick. The birdlike creature builds it's nests from ropes and chains that it steals from pirate ships. It's meat is tough, it's scaly skin even more so, but once caught by desperate pirates out in open sea, it's flesh, skin and even bones (which after cooked for a while soften) are eaten, leaving behind the foot. Since, when alive, the clawrus drumstick is swift and hard to catchm it's remaining foot is kept as a prize reminder.

This is Day One
This creature is a(n): Acinonyx Coleoptera Pardus

This is its story: The Acinonyx Coleoptera Pardus, also called Chebetard, is a strange dweller that can be found wondering the plains near Seaford. Originally it was said to be closer to Towanpool, but as the city grew into a large and industrial port, it was scared away to live in wilder places. Many have asked how such a creature came to be, but the explanation is rather a simple matter of genes and an accident. Sure, there are many strange critters that dwell in Duval, but this one is one of those that many people just feel odd watching.

Anyway, as Towanpool was growing larger, more populated, and more modernized each day, the nasty and cruel reality of pollution and over population sank in. For in the early days of Towanpool, the city was small, the port the only part growing. So as more and more ships docked, more people were brought in. They would crowd the inns, the taverns, guest houses, and the streets. Many of the crew were hostile and didn't give a hoot about the locals or the wildlife. Remember, this was in the early days when there were still many pirates and older fashioned steam and oil technology. Towanpool finally expanded into the wilds of the forest around them using oil to burn down the trees for quick clear cutting. Then Pirate Captain Mortideur (pronounced Moody-deer) was a notorious soul that took over Towanpool during his stay when he arrived. The port town was beginning to clean up its act and help reserve the nature that was left around them, but the Pirate Captain didn't give much care to this. He had discovered ways to increase ship speed through a strange lavender slime he called, "Skooma". Not only was Skooma used for the ship, but the crew could also drink it and get a "buzz" from the toxins inside. It became a popular merchandise by all the undesirables. Then it happened.

One day, a pirate man that hobbled about on wooden legs was drinking a flask of Skooma (he claimed it helped the aches and pains in his "legs" go away) near a small pond in a part of the forest. He was deep in the forest to prevent the Captain from finding out he took some from his stash, but things didn't go as the wooden legged man has hoped. A drop or two of the purple slime fell into the pond, right on an area where oil had been spilled. There was then this great lavender explosion that could be heard all the way to Seaford. The Skooma was ignited when the flammable ingredients were mixed with oil and water and a smoking wooden legged man. Then main effect wasn't as devastating as the end results. The wooden legged man was nowhere to be found and the explosion caused a small earthquake to destroy parts of the ports. The pirates fled, and those that remained were ran out. Captain Mortideur wasn't heard from again.

Then the locals started noticing a strange creature roaming around the town. It had six long branch like legs, lavender eyes, black skin and fur, sharp canines, and was often seen rolling off dung from the city and into the forest. The Scientists in the town became very curious, but they didn't want to disturb such a creature for fear of killing it. Then more began to be sited and they finally snatched one up to examine the insides. They discovered that the legs were very insect like, but somehow wooden and alive, the teeth resembling those of a leopard, it had muscles that indicated the speed of a cheetah, and the fur was the color of charred trees. It was a mixture of so many animals! The genes were strong and therefore many began to pop up around the city.

Observing the behavior of it they noted that it rolled and transported dung much like a Dung beetle, had the speed and agility of a Cheetah, had the teeth to tear into meat and bark of a leopard, the odd wooden legs that strangely resembled the Wooden Legged Pirate Man's legs, and black fur the color of the burnt forest. After many tests and observations, they finally concluded that it was a freak accident caused during the purple explosion! A Cheetah, Leopard, and beetle must have been around the wooden legged man as he was carelessly getting a "buzz" from the Skooma and ignited it with the oil and water of the pond. The creatures were morphed together, but still carried the basic need to mate and the genes being so powerful caused more critters like it to pop up. The scientific name of Acinonyx Coleoptera Pardus was given, but locals simply called it Chebetard. The Chebetard eats a variety of meat and bark from trees. It has been known to munch on dog food from time to time as well.. Raiding the garbage cans, but eventually the creatures migrated to more wild parts of the island where they flourish and strive on the many sources around them.

This is Day One
This creature is a(n): Araignée Moutons (which translates to "spider sheep" in English)
This is its story: The araignée moutons is a rare and interesting creature. Despite its fur and mammal attributes, this animal, unlike other mammals, lays eggs. It can lay up to 5 eggs at a time. Once hatched, the araignée moutons are almost full sized and only grow a few inches taller. Being small in nature allows the araignée moutons to maneuver quickly through the tall grass, escaping its predator the oiseau loup (which in English translates to bird wolf). Some speculate that the araignée moutons is the unevolved ancestor of the Sheep, as it looks like a cross between sheep and a spider. It goes unanswered however, how the araignée moutons could evolve from laying eggs to giving birth to their young.

The everyday meal of the herbivorous araignée moutons usually consists of grapes, grass and other assorted berries that happen to be lying about.

The araignée moutons is native to France and became extinct some thousand years ago. Conspiracies still swirl around the araignée moutons however, as hundreds claim to have seen this small creature roaming through the plains of France.

This is Day One
This creature is a(n): Canis Oris Dromaius novaehollandiae aka Dog Faced Emu
This is its story: The Dog Faced Emu lives in the volcanic region and tropical forests of Duval. This creature is rarely seen, but it’s said that if you do see one that it means a disaster will soon take place. The sightings of this strange and unusual creature have been linked to several major natural disasters ranging from volcanic eruptions to hurricanes. The Dog Faced Emu is an omnivore, but only when it has to be otherwise it’s diet is strictly carnivore. Most of these creatures eat small rodents as their preferred diet. This creature for the most part is silent, but does make squawking noises at times. When it is enraged or frightened it makes a sound that can only be compared the screams of a Howler Monkey. If you hear this sound then you better run and take shelter because these animals will attack humans or so that is what some of the unfortunate ones that have seen these creatures say.

This creature is a(n): WrinkleasaurusButtHeadimusmaximus
This is its story: this is one of the rarest of the shy and tiny breed. it was captured by Captain ButtHead, hence the name. This is a great honor and one of the Captains favorite bragging stories. if you stand still long enough at any museum function you will surely hear his story. this creature is the Duvalian's Natural Science Museum's
most prized possession and it lures tourists from all over the world to get a glimpse.
He habits Duval or so it is said. There has not been a sighting since the Captain's capture
there had been skuttlebutt that the Captain had extinguished the line of WrinkleButts.
we try not to speak of this in his presences.
this beautiful little guy is an herbavour and enjoyed his weight in prunes and flowers daily. it is said he 'drops a duece' that smells like flowers and is quite enjoyable.
that statement 'smells to high heaven' to this reporter.

This is Day One
This creature is a(n): Puma Gecarcinus
This is its story: This creature was recently found in a previously unexplored area of mountain forests. It seems to be related to Puma Concolor (or mountain lions) though is much shorter than its relative, and seems to also be related in some way to the crab family, most closely the Gecarcinus ruricola. It was spotted by a local hiker, who panicked believing it to be some kind of alien because of its deformed appearance, and a swarm of tourists relocated to the location thus discovering the new species.

It is extremely short for a mountain cat, reaching only about six inches to a foot tall. It's ugly coat meant as a camouflage so that it appears as just a simple moss on the rocks of the mountain forest floor. It's crab like claw legs appear to allow it to scuttle almost unnoticed across the rocks, and through crevices, allowing it a fast pounce on its prey. It's prey mainly being small rodents, and large spiders. One was spotted scurrying under some moss and lifting it up to carry aware somewhere. Speculation is that they drink the water from it, but others debate that they are nesting in caves, and find the moss comforting. Much is yet unknown about this creature.
