ENTRY #0001

Common name: The Gantic
Alternative name(s): Spirit of the Ganticombs
Creature type: Manifestation, Spirit
Habitat: The Ganticombs
Diet: Death, specifically the act of dying itself fuels the Gantic
Description: The Gantic is a malevolent spirit that inhabits the Ganticombs beneath the Forum Games. It is unknown if it comes from the Ganticombs or is trapped within it. It has the power to pull any curious or unwary forum gamer into its domain for its own amusement, usually amusement from multiple comical deaths. It seems to have the power to resurrect of any creature within the Ganticombs. While it may tempt the foolish to tempt death, The Gantic never outright kills anyone.

No one has ever seen it, but all who have met it has heard it. It is a disembodied voice with no origin heard only in the head of those unfortunate enough to venture into the depths of the Ganticombs.
Note: 1. Do not to be confuse The Gantic with Gantic the White Rabbit. They are two separate entities.

Alternative name(s): Rip, Pelvis Man
Creature type: Humanoid, Dwarf-like, Knight
Habitat: Wherever the wind may take them
Diet: Kawaii Desus, Denied Creeps, Horrible Humour (Especially bad puns)
Description: The Riptizoid roams the ever increasing world of the forums. No crack or crevice is safe from these small, childlike eternal knights' lurkings. On Wednesdays they like to visit nursing homes and school the elderly in the art of Bingo. They can be seen conversing with random inhabitants of Amoria, but is friendly towards those that approach him for convo. Their blood type is ABC, birthday on June-uary 32nd, and prefers short red haired women.

When asked whether they are an S or an M, they all had replied in union, "[We are] definitely an S!!!"
They like long walks on the beaches made up of skulls of his enemies, and thinks Star Wars is better than Star Trek.
Notes: Nobody has ever seen a Riptizoid's face, for he eternally wears a helmet. Some have suspected his helmet is unable to be taken off. This entity shouldn't be confused with the inhabitant and user, Riptizoid101, although there are many speculations that he is indeed a Riptizoid.

ENTRY #0003
Common name: Femalloid
Alternative name(s): WalkieTalkie
Creature type: Human-shaped.
Habitat: GHASTLY.
Diet: The fear of others, human flesh, ice cream,
Description: The femalloid appears to be human in earth's atmosphere, but in its native land of GHASTLY, it dissolves into a cloud of angry acid. In its human form, it's prone to sudden spasms of violence and irritation. However, if the femalloid likes you, then your chance of death does not decrease. There is no benefit to be gained by the femalloid liking you.
Notes: There used to be femalloids all over the world, but one of them rose up and killed the rest of them. StormWalker is the last remaining femalloid.

ENTRY #0004

Common name: Freakenstein

Alternative name(s): Frank, Fronk, Framl, Ftonk, Ftomk, Ftoml

Creature type: Homo sapien, sub-species Dwarf

Habitat: Temperate and sub-arctic climates, built a two-tiered hut in the countryside.

Diet: Ethanol

Description: Frank places rigid, steel pauldrons upon his muscular stature, with soft-leather cloth hoisted over his shoulders, exposing his chest and abdominals. A white fur pelt is wrapped in wide string around his waist, making it a belt of sorts. Various teeth and tusks are tied on either side which reveals the amount of trolls he has defeated in combat, with an entire troll skull latched on the center. Iron chains are gagged onto the teeth inside the mouth and are used to hold up his loincloth. The boots are quite complex; steel and iron are used to make the soles, giving it the hard crunch whenever he stepped. The iron and steel material comes up in columns in stripes, reaching the knees, with a flexible, steel cap to cover the patellas. The junction of the ankle and phalanges has a small trollbone skull fixed in the center. What isn't covered by iron and steel is stuffed with warm furs of varying animals, usually troll hair. The helmet is made of pure steel, shaped like a bowl and covering the mandible and nose. The part in the back is shaped more like a shovel, while there are three two-inch spikes that were on the three sides of the soldier's head--temporal, parietal, then temporal. The eyes are big and brown, with a wide smile that is both firm and sincere.

Notes: DOES NOT ENJOY THE PRANK OF REPLACING ETHANOL WITH METHANOL. Contains the mutation of giantism, which caused the expulsion from his clan. Enjoys Koolaid.

ENTRY #0006

Common name: Tree Snatcher
Alternative name(s): Man-eating Tree Spider, Man-eating Tree Crab
Creature type: Arthropod
Habitat: Trees. It hangs from branches waiting for prey to pass below.
Diet: Mid-sized creatures, incl. wolves, bears, deer, wild boar, etc. It injects special enzymes that dissolve the insides of its meal incl. bones.
Description: The emerald tree snatcher is an arboreal creature that resembles a spider crab. It has eight appendages: two with pincers, two to aid in grasping its meal after it has been caught, and four hind appendages specially adapted to grasp tree branches and extend to full length in the blink of an eye. At full extension, the tree snatcher is approximately three times as tall as the average human. It has been known to snatch animals up to the size of an adult male moose from the forest floor. Its mottled green and brown shell allows it to camouflage itself within its surroundings. They live in colonies of up to thirty adults. Seasoned adventurers are wary to pass through old forests with trees large enough to hold these creatures as a colony of them can devour a party twenty strong.

ENTRY #0008
Common name: Skralae
Alternative name(s): Weaver
Creature type: It arises out of the woodwork. I suppose you'd call it something close to paranormal undead.
Habitat: Tends to live in the dark places between the walls.
Diet: Viscera and dreams.
Description: Thin enough that when you view it from the side, it disappears. Pale, featureless but for a wide gash of a mouth, and the skin flakes away and exposes pinkish bone halfway through the torso. Its lower body consists of more thin reddish bone. A spinal cord trails down to a pelvis, which then branches out into delicate tendrils. Skralae floats, and the hands have thin, elongated fingers, all the better for delicately sorting through your body for the sweetest meat.
Notes: Based off of a certain character from a certain game. If you guess it, you earn +10 respect.

..By the way, in the OP, the first use of the word "Bestiary" is mispelled. Even the great Gantic makes mistakes :^)

Common name: Chrome Steel Golem

Alternative name(s): Chrome, Steel Golem

Creature type: Automaton, Golem, Construct

Habitat: Ancient Ruins, Ancient Temples, Lost Cities and wastelands.

Diet: Golems sustain on Mana to continue functioning. Chrome Steel Golems are also able to convert sunlight into mana using their Magi-Sol Panels installed on their backs for longer sustainability.

Description: Technological advanced constructs built by an unknown ancient civilization to guard their valuable cities and lands but when their masters suddenly disappeared, they were left to carry out their previous protocols for all eternity, guarding temples, cities and patrolling lands tirelessly.

Notes: Over the millennium, some of the Golems gained self awareness through some magical glitches in their system. One such Golem called himself Chromey. Chromey managed to intergrate himself into society (although with much difficulty because he could not fit through man sized doors) and now works his dream job as a candy salesman (Although his business isn't very successful. I mean, which kid would buy candy from a menacing giant hunk of steel?)

ENTRY #0013

ENTRY #0016

Common name: Graham Cracker Beast
Alternative name(s):
Scientific Name: Dulcis Cracerus
Alternate Non-Scientific Names: Graham Wafer Beast, Sweet Bark, Sugar Bark
Creature type: Beast
Habitat: Dry sparsely forested areas.
Diet: Marshmallow Slime and Chocolate Bunnies
Natural Predator: Carnivorous Microwaves (Humans are also known to hunt these creatures.)
Description: Graham Cracker Beasts spend most there time in direct sunlight. As well, Graham Cracker Beasts can hide among the trees. A Graham Cracker Beast's body will appear like the bark of the trees that are indigenous to the Graham Cracker Beast's natural habitat. Graham Cracker Beasts are found in sparsely forested areas as they can hide among the trees whilst still being in the sun.

Graham Cracker Beasts prefer to stay very dry, except while eating. Graham Cracker Beasts eat by covering themselves in Marshmallow Slime and Chocolate Bunnies. The Graham Cracker Beasts will lie in wait among the trees looking for Marshmallow Slimes or Chocolate Bunnies to pass near. The Graham Cracker Beast will then pounce on it's prey. The Graham Cracker Beasts are coated in a sweet substance that tastes much like sugar, which lures the slimes and bunnies near..

Once a Graham Cracker Beast has captured it's prey, the beast will secrete a sticky honey like substance from it's body. This substance reacts with the Graham Cracker Beasts trapped prey causing the prey to break down into a thick, sticky, moderately viscous liquid. This liquid is then absorbed through the semi-porous belly of the Graham Cracker Beast by osmosis. Once the substance is absorbed it is digested.

Often Graham Cracker Beasts will share meals. When one Graham Cracker beast has captured prey a second Graham Cracker Beast may press itself against the stomach of the other beast, sandwhiching the captured prey in between the beasts. It is not fully known why Graham Cracker Beasts do this, but it appears this process may help aid the beasts digestion. The meal sharing process of the Graham Cracker Beast is known as S'moring.
