#9: The Rumpfellet
Ages ago, the rumpfellet was able to speak to small children. It usually informed them of the best places to hide from grown-ups. Now, the rumpfellet is only able to squawk and squeak. Legend has it, a disturbed sorceress with sixteen missing children placed a curse on the rumpfellets until her children could be found. Legend also has it, the children were never found.

#10: The Gorpus
Part insect, part turtle, part snail, the gorpus (lacrimabilis muliebris) can grow to over four feet long. Commonly called the “giant ladybug” and easily mistaken for a capybara in costume, they are easily offended and like to keep to themselves. Usually asleep during the day, at night groups of the gorpus can be heard singing lamenting lullabies (in Latin).

#11: The Cuddlebumpik
Only three cuddlebumpiks have been known to exist. The first, Angelo, lived in Southern Italy in the late eighteenth century. The second, Sir Roger Wildecoste, ran a small grocery in East Limpingate until his mysterious disappearance in 1893. The last known cuddlebumpik, Dale, is currently employed by a traveling carnival based out of Holdrege, Nebraska.

#12: The Miniature Saddleback Ringtail Rool
The miniature saddleback ringtail rool stands around four centimeters tall. Its easily distinguished from common ringtail rools by the odd, saddle-shaped growth on it’s back. This growth actually functions as an extra stomach, allowing the the miniature saddleback ringtail rool to eat up to twenty-times its weight.
