Kriayshun Creatures

I don't usually post my made-up creatures to Deviantart. I've been slowly collecting some species for the continent Kriayshun (I'm tryihng to find a new name).
I have a ton of old creatures I created. Most of them are awful. I can probably salvage a few of them.
But here's three of my newer designs.

1. Tesura.



These guys can range in size from that of a cat to a pony. Their usual colors include yellow, bright blue, and white.
Their fur crackles with electricity, and they can zip around at incredible speeds. It often apears like teleportation to humans. They leave behind trails of light as they leap around like this.
They live in a world without electricity, but some humans have trapped tesuras to try to use them for a power source. These experiments are usually fatal to the tesuras, since they usually die if their static energy is taken away. Fortunately they're very hard to catch or contain.

2. Maltha



Sometimes known as a moth horse.
These creatures are about the size of a horse, but are incredibly light-weight. They can even be lifted by an average human (They're big though, so they're awkward to lift). There are some smaller types, ranging down towards the size of an average goat.
They tend to be very docile. Because of this, they often form symbiotic relationships with other species, including humans.
Because they are so light-weight, they cannot carry humans. Though the larger ones can sometimes carry children. They also have very fragile wings, and their bodies can be pretty fragile too.
They have long tongues because they love to sip nectar from the larger flowers that grow in their usual mountain habitats. Their sensitive feather antenna pick up vibrations around them to check for danger.
There are different types of maltha, and most of them echo existing moth species. This one is based off of a Deilephila porcellus.

Some more sketches of these guys (The little guy on the bottom right is a flutterby bird - about the size of a hummingbird).



4. Hnuggle



(This one's a baby)
They're a little larger than a house cat and often walk on their hind feet. They will gallop around on all fours though, especially young ones at play. Their fur can be in many colors, but they tend to be more muted shades.
They have intelligence similar to that of humans, and their fingers let them build and create tools and art. They live in community groups.
These are one of the species that have a symbiotic relationship woth the maltha. They often live together, and the maltha will give them rides.
Hnuggles have had some bad run-ins with humans, since humans don't always recognize the similarities between them. They tend to be mistrustful of humans because of this.
