These little beetles strongly resemble a type of mushroom that grows during the spring season; they gather in little flocks and use these sprout patches as camouflage during their window for mating. Seeing these little guys fighting over space and eating sprouts is common as those dwelling on the islands also tend to gather up these tiny, delicate mushrooms for themselves as a special delicacy during this time of year. Cooks are particularly fond of sprouts, so keeping one or two of these little guys around can be advantageous as they perk up during the season these little mushrooms appear and act as little alarms that let foodies know when to go searching for a nice spring treat.

A unique ocean creature that is seen sparingly throughout the year but gathers in large blooms during the First Light Festival, they are attracted by the excess of magic and the elation everyone feels during this time which means they light up the waves throughout the festival and will even take to the air when the celebration is at its height. Jollyglo are constructs of light and magic that require joyful emotions to solidify their form and leave the water, so they tend to only appear in moments where large celebrations occur. Otherwise, they tend to linger near the surface of the water, their form nearly invisible until something sparks their magic to make them physical once more. Those who keep jollyglo as pets tend to be fairly cheerful as the pet's proximity seems to help their mood, but they should always keep a tank of water around for when their jollyglo needs a little time to rest on the water's surface lest they dry out and disappear when negative emotions overtake their surroundings.

This bizarre foxylotl only appears during the First Light Festival and seems to have a lantern for a head rather than a normal face, often with some silly little face drawn on the surface. Despite their strange appearance, they often become a new pet for many of the island inhabitants during this time of year, likely because they are so silly. Their lack of a mouth and eyes can be perplexing, but they seem able to navigate just fine and most who study the islands' wildlife believe they feed off of the lights passively let out into the air through bioluminescence from both the mushrooms that spread across the islands as well as mhoats themselves. Supporting this, their heads and vents give off a faint glow at all times, growing in intensity when they are near other light sources which would suggest they are actively feeding.

This rare type of angelfly tends to appear during the First Light Festival and is drawn in by the various light motes that form from the magic being generated from both magic light displays as well as the turtonic ritual performed during the summer season. Unlike the standard angelfly that processes the magic existing naturally in their diet, these angelfly only seem interested in magic tied to this particular element which means they become much more elusive without constant sources of magically-generated light to feed from. For this reason, while they swarm during the summer season, they tend to prefer a much more solitary way of life any other time of the year.

These large slugs seek out sheltered places in the winter and reappear during the spring to feed on newly released spores. As they feed, they pick up the spores of moss which forms into a thick growth on their back, and eventually, seeds get caught in this growth which allows a variety of plants to grow on the backs of these slow-moving slugs. Large plants will dig into the soft fat stores on their backs and draw nutrients from the stores there with little detriment to the eensie themselves. Much of their diet comes through filter feeding from the air; consuming spores, small organisms, and other materials that get kicked up into the air whenever the ground is disturbed by passing creatures. Mynrosians like to keep these small creatures as miniature garden spaces when they lack space for a proper garden since they can grow larger plants and a wider variety than plant pots of the same size would allow.

Little beach crabs that eat anything; they compress food into solid sandy grains.

Cattypillar are soft and cuddly creatures that are well-loved among mhoat; sweet and docile even when encountered out in the wild. They prefer nothing more than to laze about and soak up the sun, but their fast metabolism and singular focus when it comes to food mean they hunt voraciously for the various island parasites that hide underground among the roots of various mushrooms or just below the surface of larger mushrooms. Even burrowing under the ground to dig out a juicy morsel isn't beyond these otherwise lackadaisy little creatures, which is why mhoats that keep these little creatures of pets do well to keep a regular source of food around as they are prone to trouble.

An elusive creature that lives underground; they eat the rot and roots of mushrooms.

Airborne creatures often kept by harvesters; their firey vents create thermals for gliding.

Pack animals that eat ocean parasites; they are common pets among aquatic mhoats.

Freshwater counterpart of sea wyverns; they build nests into the sides of riverbanks.

Snufflers are large foraging creatures that depend on nudiphym through a symbiotic relationship to aid them in keeping clean through regular grooming. In return, they consume mushrooms, plants, and many other meals close to the ground that release spores, pollen, and other small organisms into the air which their constant companions eagerly consume. Snufflers rarely spend time not seeking out food, consuming more and more, and growing continuously. Snufflers large enough to pull wagons and be used as mounts aren't uncommon, and Mynrosians will gladly befriend and watch over these creatures in return for easy transportation.

Nudiphym are a group of lighter than air creatures that share a symbiotic relationship with snufflers. Their larger counterparts consume mushrooms, plants, and many other low to the ground meals that release pollen, spores, and a variety of other small organisms into the air for the much smaller nudiphym to feast on. Given how much food snufflers kick up into the air, it's common to see small colonies of these creatures following a single or several snufflers in groups. When not spending the vast majority of their time in the air, they will land directly on the snufflers and groom the various organisms that grow on a snuffler's hide.
