The Ale'strom!

This foamy blue ale forms a constant miniature whirlpool, swirling edible “wreckage” within. Sailors drink it to ward off motion sickness before voyages and to predict storm encounters—fast currents promise safe seas, slow currents increase storm probability.

Soot Beer is a bubbling, syrupy brew of bittersweet brimstone and scorched herbs. A common Nether Region beverage, demon children love it for its crackling fizz, gritty texture, and the way it coats their teeth black.

Sleebees are fuzzy, docile bees the size of throw pillows, known for being in an almost perpetual slumber, only rising once a week to eat flowers. They drool Slumbrosia, a numbing honey used for calming dishes and medical purposes!

Cypresseers are spectral gardeners of the afterlife and allies to the reapers. Born from moonlight and grave soil, these nocturnal beings swiftly tend to graveyards and cemeteries to plant a variety of magical flora that aid the dead in their slumber.

Star Mites! Large, mystical creatures that blend in with the stars and guide lost travelers. They are also known for their cosmic sap for which they can be milked—a *space jam*, if you will.

Behold, the Luxurians!

Aquatic menaces that devour treasure and other materialistic valuables. They often use their octopus-like abilities to blend in with rich societies and rob them blind.

The Snackubus is a cunning demon species that use their cuteness to coax victims out of their snacks. The more one gives in and feeds them, the less they'll look like innocent little kids and more like a demonic pig that's the living definition of "greed."

This is an Etch, a golem-like creature created by the mysterious yet innovative mages, "The Artisans."

They can be made from wood, stone, metal, lava rock, etc. They're built to protect or defend, given a set of tasks upon creation.
