Species

Cloakat (Pronounced Cloh-Kat, which is a derivative of the words Cloak and Bat) is a species of monster that is very bat-like in facial qualities.
They have stretchy rubber-like arms with claws at their tips. They live together on a huge offset island filled with 1000+ year old redwood/sequoias and are watched over by their leader, The Elder Bat.

They are a high-energy, rambunctious species that love to have fun. They can float and fly among many different powers. Their appearance and "cloaks" can change according to their interests during their early 20s. Note that these "cloaks" appear as clothes and are not removable, as they are part of the bat!

Picayunes are small flightless bird creatures who have the smarts of a corvid. They are very social animals and will do just about anything for food. Picayunes can be found in most places on Moonset Island, but most commonly will live near populated areas to attain free/easy food and shelter. They are incredibly family-oriented and will often gather together around dusk to chat with one another. They have a good memory and can solve puzzles and remember faces. Picayunes will also pick up the habits of species around them to help them adapt better. Picayune most often diet off of fruits, seeds, nuts, and berries, but will eat non-traditional cooked/processed foods if given to them. Their natural enemy is the Bramboa.

What are Tempo Slugs?
Tempo Slug are nudibranch-like creatures who love to live by/in saltwater sources. Tempo Slug's cannot handly freshwater environments. Tempo Slug's tend to stay by beachsides or underwater and stand on their hind legs, then vibrating their rhinophores letting out a small tune as they seemingly squeak and sing to draw in prey like small insects and other small creatures to consume as if using a sirens song. Usually, this tune is better heard by smaller creatures and is also more intense for smaller creatures, so it doesn't generally affect bigger creatures in such a hypnotic way. They will also use these songs to attract others of their kind to befriend or court with. Tempo Slug's also have a barb in place of their tongue that has a small hollow point that they use to inject prey with venom to help make their meals easy to consume, this barb can sometimes be used as a resource by Cloakats as well as their venom or slime they emit, which also has toxic properties that can be deadly to Cloakat They will typically use this venom to tip their weapons in to cause a more delay attack. Tempo Slug's are generally very tame but rather skittish, so catching one can be tricky as they're fast once in the water, even for their small plump size. You will also have to watch out as they're both venomous and slimy when attempting the catch and will "bite" when threatened. Tempo Slug are also very much so interested in tunes and songs in general so sometimes playing some sort of melody might catch one's interest, they might even catch on and sing as well. They are good with mimicry and will sometimes sing tunes and sounds they hear around them as well, often making their own songs in the process. Tempo Slugs can be taught humanoid language and generally sound elegant/delicate with the way they carry their voices, often giving off a rather tranquil vibe when speaking. Teaching a Tempo Slug to do various things is also possible. Tempo Slug also almost always have a mantle separating the top and bottom of their body, this mantle tends to wiggle when they sing or speak, offering a sort of flowing look to their body when emitting any sort of sound.

What are Waltzing Whelks?
Waltzing Whelk are snail-like creatures who love to live by freshwater sources. While it is rare to find versions that can do salt water, it is not unheard of. Waltzing Whelk's tend to stay by pondsides or other water sources and stand on their hind legs, then vibrating their antennae letting out a small tune as they seemingly squeak and sing to draw in prey like small insects and other small creatures to consume as if using a sirens song. Usually, this tune is better heard by smaller creatures and is also more intense for smaller creatures, so it doesn't generally affect bigger creatures in such a hypnotic way. They will also use these songs to attract others of their kind to befriend or court with. Waltzing Whelk's also have a barb in place of their tongue that has a small hollow point that they use to inject prey with venom to help make their meals easy to consume, this barb can sometimes be used as a resource by Cloakats as well as their venom or slime they emit, which also has toxic properties that act as a numbing agent to help Cloakat with various medicinal purposes. Waltzing Whelk's are generally very tame but rather skittish, so catching one can be tricky as they're fast once in the water, even for their small plump size. You will also have to watch out as they're both venomous and slimy when attempting the catch and will "bite" when threatened. Waltzing Whelk are also very much so interested in tunes and songs in general so sometimes playing some sort of melody might catch one's interest, they might even catch on and sing as well. They are good with mimicry and will sometimes sing tunes and sounds they hear around them as well, often making their own songs in the process. While they're good with mimicry, their humanoid language learning is a little finicky, and while they CAN be taught humanoid language, it's often hard to fully understand as their voices might be small and hard to hear. Teaching a Waltzing Whelk to do various things is also possible. They all have a strip going down both sides of their body, starting from their mouth and trailing down to the tip of their tail and up the other side. This strip on their body is their venom gland, so to speak, and will generally look like it's glowing or has a sort of electric texture underneath. This gland will also yank, jiggle, wiggle, and jolt when they speak, almost like audio waves. Removing this gland much like a shrimp's vein is important when wanting to consume one as not removing them can cause pain and discomfort when eating.
