This egg is a uniform tan in color.

The Osqual is one of the many species of quetzalcoatl. It lives along lakes and rivers, mostly in the temperate and subtropical areas of the world. Its main diet consists of fish, which it snatches out of the water while flying or hovering over the surface, but it has also been known to catch other aquatic animals, like frogs and waterfowl. Osqualli are very efficient hunters, aided by their unique power: these creatures throw no shadow unless they choose to do so. This keeps an Osqual's prey from noticing it before it strikes. The power of an Osqual is not restricted to itself; it can prevent objects in its vicinity to throw shadows as well, although even the most powerful of these creatures cannot extend that power to more than about three feet in either direction. A subgroup in the herbalist guild has specialised in using this power to control the exact amount of sunlight their plants receive during growth. They claim to be able to tailor size and sweetness of fruits perfectly that way, and their skill in growing plants to the exact specifications of alchemists seems to support their claim. There is some controversy in where this power stems from. Those specializing in the dark arts propose that manipulation of shadows certainly falls into their domain, while the sun magi refute that and claim that this power is obviously using sunlight. The fire magi, always quick to argue with their sun rivals, point out that the power is also working on artificial light sources, like camp fires, and thus cannot be sun magic. Since none of the disciplines has been able to duplicate the power so far, the discussions go on.
