A parasite that leaves the infected with hollow bones.
The Worcestershire Clicking I calculated the odds of this succeeding, vs. the odds I was doing something incredibly stupid... and I went ahead anyway.
Legends say it was first seen (or heard) decades prior in the town of Worcestershire, late at night stalking bums and late joggers. It could be sighted by the familiar sound of a clicking tongue, but it was never seen. In the morning, all that would remain of its victims were their contorted heads, with no sign of a body. Some believe it lives beneath the lakes. Others the horse of the Devil. But no matter how many midnight curfews there are, if you hear the clicking, run.

Ashido Sea Slug "This kimono is perfect for the Hisui-themed festival, right?" - Cynthia
A horned, pink-coloured gastropod twisted into humanoid form. Its body is covered in a thick film of acidic fluid; it spews great streams of this substance at anything crossing its path from a dozen different mouths and projecting limbs, flailing about to maximise the spread of its attacks. Occasionally, it twitches and lurches about uncontrollably, crashing into any nearby structures with extreme force. Much of its flesh is covered in burns from the strength of its own attacks, but there is enough left to discern that the creature has the eyes of a human.

Freezing Behemoth "This kimono is perfect for the Hisui-themed festival, right?" - Cynthia
A giant hexapedal herbivore native to the Sunless Taiga. It resembles its non-arctic cousins, having short snout, prominent head crest (the shape of which varies between individuals), forelegs which can function as arms, and ridged spine. They are solitary creatures with indeterminate lifespan.
Freezing Behemoths receive their name from a thaumetic gland within their neck, which produces a solution that is secreted through their skin. This compound reacts with airborne mana, forming a thin coat of frost all over the creature's body. The gland increases its production when the creature feels stressed. This, combined with their natural armor and incredible strength, make Freezing Behemoths a challenging foe even for the most ferocious predators — humans included.
This does not deter many hunters, however, given the prize of bringing down one. As with other Behemoths, their skin makes for some of the sturdiest leather armor, fetching very high prices in the black market. Their glands also hold value as alchemical and crafting ingredients, especially with the Republic's recent wars against Infernal forces; The demand for weapons that can counter their fiery implements has soared ever since. Sightings of the creature have been rare in the last few years. Naturalists speculate that the species is well on their way to extinction.
