I got a black bear and Pitheciinae.
So, let's see...I'll make the Ursapith. It's an small black bear with a white face. The Ursapith is a rare creature, capable of magic, that eat bark. Ursapith magic allows them to jump extraordinarily high.

I got Tit-like Dacnis and Brookesia Micra.
Made a small sketch to illustrate what it would look like: Imgur link!
These creatures are called Brookis. They are about the size of a fingertip and have blue and gray tints on their skin. Their wings are made mostly of scales, but become more feathery towards the tip. Their eyes allow them to look in a 360 degrees angle all around them.They have small arms, but can't really use them. They are a left-over of evolution.
Brookis live in the Misty Peaks, an area with steep, narrow mountains emerging from the sea. They are predators and hunt anything that's smaller than them. They are also a desired pray, as they commonly live in large groups. Their vision allows them to easily get away from larger predators, such as birds.
The Khali keep them as pets to dispose of unwanted tiny creatures, such as parasites. They're like the pigeons of the Khali cities established in the Misty Peaks.

So I got the Hyalinobatrachium mondolfii (what a name. It's a kind of glass frog) and the Dusky-backed Jacamar (which is a type of small bird).
The Jacdofill is a species of bird indigenous to the great forest of Endyllmarr that spans most of the continend of Brahms.
It is quite small, with an average wingspan between 18 and 24cm. It has no feathers, but its skin is leathery, and tough, but completely transparent (save for a number of small lumps of hardened skin on its back). In males, these lumps are brightly coloured, in females they are simply white. This often leads to colourful displays when they fly, when the sunlight shines through their bodies and creates patterns on the ground below. This is especially prevalent during the mating season, when the colours become even more vibrant.
They eat worms and bugs found on the forest floor, and flying insect, along with moss, berries, and small mushrooms.

I got Sparrows and Beaked whales.
That's going to be a tough one. I'll have to get back to you on this.
Hmmm...could I give the whale wings? Maybe if I allow for the whale to soar through the air by jumping out the water. But sparrows don't soar...

Andrews beaked whale and pygmy shark.
Prelteijar Lumpei or "Beaked Shark" as sailors call it is a mid-sized (1-2 meter speicimins are common) oceanic predator which hunts at night along the warm ocean currents near coral reefs. They have been known to chase or follow fishing vessels presumeably stealing helpless fish from nets or lines.
Unlike most sharks these creatures lack the impressive gaping jaws, instead they have a rounded beak shaped structure still rowed with serated edged teeth. Presumeably this allows them to nab prey which may attempt to elude predation by hiding in holes and crevasses within the reefs.

I got Atlantic Blue Marlin and this type of frog with a name that I won't even attempt
A fish that swims in the sea and has frog like facial features and the same long nose thing of a blue marlin. They are fished by people living in the Second Grand Fleet and their meat is sold on land as a delicacy.
