concept: Happy 50th balloon creature "Five-oh"
This creature can store a great amount of gas in it's small body without internal damage, making it float.
It floats around longer than a balloon, it's refillable and ensures a quiet walk in the park with your children.
But you better hold on the string tightly cause they don't like close encounters with airplanes.

concept: Mandibulaworm - 50 feet long and 50 teeth
These creatures can be found in caves and mountain regions. They reach fifty feet long at adult hood as well as containing fifty teeth in their mandible arachnid-like mouths. The Mandibulaworm uses it's fierce gripping power to lock on to prey much larger than itself, it uses its thick muscular body to constrict around the necks of large prey while its mouth tears apart the face of the victim. Mandibulaworms are harmless to anything smaller than them unless provoked because they only feast twice a year which is the reason they feed on prey much larger than them self in order to gorge them self in one sitting and store food for half of the year before they need to feed again.

concept:
In the not so distant future, the Earth is ravaged my nuclear war. The species that are not wiped out by the fallout fall victim to radiation poisoning, and subsequently develop mutations. Eventually, many of these species began incorporation these mutations into their natural process of evolution.
Carnivorous jungle sloths are tree dwelling creatures that are found in the jungles of the peninsula once known as Florida. It has large ears and nostrils, due to its poor eyesight, and uses sound and smell as it primary senses. It only leaves the jungle canopy to drink, and due to its small legs it must drag itself slowly using its forearms. The trunk on its face is used for drinking and feeding its young by way of regurgitation. Its exposed stomach is covered with fifty sphincter-like orifices, which can expand to consume prey as large as a small goat. Food can be stored at length before being digested. The retractable tentacles that surround the stomach cam snatch prey from a distance of two yards, and are also used for assistance in mobility.
Here we see the carnivorous jungle sloth attacking a flock of parrots. The creature can hang completely motionless for hours, waiting for its prey moves within its reach before springing his attack.

concept:
The quinquaginta, a creature living on L-type moons of Stedtfeld Systems is originally a domesticated animal producing meat and working on the fields, named after the markings on the back (L=50=quinquaginta). Lately some scientist bread a race that produces a very delicious low-fat and sweet milk. Due to the high demand (the product becomes more and more famous as "Quinjuice") the newest race was presented at the last L98-S agriculture convention. The white haired Quinquaginta alba has with it's fifty dugs a second representation of it's name, now.

concept: tyrannus pistris
It is special kind of shark, which was found near French Guiana. This shark has 50 fins and 50 holes at head which hide 50 special receptors. Scientists believe that these abnormal things depends by locality where sharks live, because French Guiana was testing centre for nuclear weapons.
And it has big influence at local animals, like these sharks. Many times were changes bad and have fatal effect at animals, but in one case were changes like adrenalin injection for sharks. New sharks are perfect predators, many times effective in hunting than normal sharks. They are now extremly fast with their big amount of fins and special swiming style. They are extremly strong with their big body and strong muscles. And they are extremly sensitive at vibration and blood in water with their special head sensors. If they joint these special attributes to one concentrate attack, then is none in safety.

Diary of Dr. Mia Opppenheimer, 10/05/2030
Finally! After a long series of failures, our last gene-culture is starting to bear fruit. Just in time, now with the board threatening to cut our funding. Everybody thought i was crazy when i said i could breed spare organs this way, but they'll have to admit this is an incredible breakthrough for the world of science! Far beyond my most wild imaginings the latest specimen, we've baptized him Argyle,has sprouted a staggering fifty perfect eyes. We've not used any of them so far for transplants, strangely it feels such a shame to rid Argy of one of his limbs. Some of the laborants have told me by the way that they appear to be watched by the moving stalks when going about their business in the lab. Which is odd, since Argy is not supposed to be sentient in any way. Much like the origice which developed itself in the latest week. It does make it easy to feed our little (well, little) eyeballer. There's still a lot of open ground in this field, and it will be such a thrill to discover all the possibilities of advanced genetics ...

concept:
Three species of salamanders claim dominion over the country of Nis. Salamanders come in twelve, twenty-eight and fifty "tongued" varieties. Tongues refer not to what they keep hidden behind their teeth, but rather the flames that sprout from their backs. The largest is the fifty tongued salamander shown above.
Nissian salamanders have a complex and volatile metabolism involving the ingestion of large quantities of key chemical compounds that mix with enzymes secreted in their gastrointestinal tracts to keep their fires buring continuously. Flames blaze from pores on their backs, regulating their internal processes much like sweating regulates your own internal temperature. Like dragons, salamanders are capable of expelling fire as a weapon, but typically, the larger, fifty-tongued salamanders choose not to. It's an enormous expenditure of energy to use their internal fire as an offensive projectile. If a Nissian salamander flames out, it dies.
Fifty-tongued salamanders prefer to fight with their tails, thrashing them about, igniting anything flammable with an intense heat. In a life-or-death battle, even a fifty-tongued salamander will regurgitate their fire, sometimes at the cost of their lives to save others of their species. Salamanders make devoted mates and parents to their own kind. Adventurers who slay a Nissian salamander must take care to evacuate quickly or dispose of the bodies with care as the festering of a dead salamander can have explosive results.

“… Year 2050. Mokka Planetary System.
Civil War divided planets into two fractions. Smaller one submitted to military guidance is eager after everything to be just like before. But the others, uniting 80% of the planets, wants to break with dictatorship.”
“… Year 2097. Mokka Planetary System.
Walking back scientific spaceship “MMS-290 Knowledge” docks on Kork planet, when unexpectedly distress signal is transmitted from surface. The rest of the bandwidth is clear. Message goes: … Kork citizens… the government can’t deal the situation anymore. Anyone able to move to other planet is pleased to do it immediately… and impart news about plague.
… “Knowledge” gets the last allied planet. As just as rest of the Republic planets, this one is dilapidated by plague. All regions turned into deserts and all humans died… eaten alive exactly. Small organisms, that brought total destruction, first of all laid waste to vegetation and then annihilated animals and human being. Analysis of planetary science stations’ databases show that plagues usually start at points where grass and grain were seeded. Probably these organisms were smuggled with the seeds for grain-growing. Unfortunately, no one expected such a betrayal, and the detection come off when it was too late to stay its progress. There are reasons to believe that Empire Mokka is responsible for that, the second side of the conflict…
…The crew of the “Knowledge”, the only survivors, decided to do the last thing left. They caught a few specimen of these dangerous organisms while they were on the planet surface, visited lastly. Then turned their spaceship to the planet Kish-2, the center of the Empire, where probably creatures were created…”
“… Year 2797. Mokka Planetary System
After probing Mokka Planetary System, Alien Explorer leaves this area and continue its journey. They are disappointed of what they have seen. On all planets and satellites, expected to be inhabited, there were found and collected only one species. They found also many ruins, so probably citizens left faced with great danger or were killed by these little but very aggressive creatures…”
----
Emendatio.
This perfect organism is a result of scientific laboratories’ researches on planet Kish-2. Military scholars tried to create species able to destroy all form of life and being resistible to almost everything. Many years they worked hard on DNA chain to make an organism able to deal with all environments. Unfortunately organism was still far from perfection… After 25 years doctor Natasha Bazukin finally found out the way to make the creature indestructible… She put into its DNA chain another “empty gene”, 50th gene – gene of excellence.

concept: The burning Phoenix-Cats of Abzu-Dal ...or, the cat with 50 lives
The old sorcerer Abzu-Dal created these creatures in his eager search for eternal life. With the help of some ancient shamans he succeded in combining the totemic magic of the cat and the phoenix. The totemic essence of the phoenix (-->ressurrect once) combined with the totemic skill of the cat (--> 9 "lives", which, for example, means not getting hurt by falling down trees or dodging other dangerous situations) resulted in a race of cats with 50 lives instead of just 9...
They are a lot bigger than normal cats, almost the size of the common puma and the force of the phoenix concealed within the cat vessel is shining trough cracks in their skin.Their appearance may slightly differ, depending on wether the balance is more towards the totemic essence of the cat or the phoenix. Some of them even got magical wings made of fire...
The old sorcerer used them as his personal guards as well as scouts. Thus, those agile creatures quickly became known througout the peasant-lands as the burning Phoenix-Cats of Abzu-Dal.
