Welkinal's Bestiary Challenge

From a journal of Welkinal, biology expert
1st of Resting, 9 E.Ru
Life and duty had me falling behind on my passions as of late, but I am determined to turn this around.
Its been some time since I been wanting to give updates to many of my dated reports on the creatures of the Haan Archipelago, especially those I first wrote about on our expeditions to the Delta of Many Birds.
Discussing this with friends of friends in our scholarly circle, one of them proposed me a challenge:
She gave me a list of 27 words, and told me to use them as prompts, and work on something based on each of them. To put some pressure behind it, she told me I should try to do as many as possible during this month of Resting. What a challenge!
I will record my ideas and progress in this journal.  

Progress: 13/28

Author's Notes

I wanted to give an in-universe twist to the meta article for the Bestiary February challenge.
Welkinal is my in-universe author of all "official" art and articles about species in the Book of the Habits and Beasts, so I thought he might as well be the one taking the challenge in his hands!
