Female Hatchling
Name: unnamed
Species: Osanyin Crystalwing
Birthday: Friday, May 11, 2018
Owner: Mykestri
Element: Life 
Osanyin hatchlings camouflage themselves as dead branches and bushes until they grow large enough to help their parents protect their chosen spot of nature. As they grow, they begin to nurture the vegetation around them, with the help of other osanyin family members. With magi they're friendly but somewhat distant; this is generally considered a good thing as they're as hard as the wood they resemble, and have varying patterns of thorns. Fortunately they can play with other osanyin crystalwings, as well as creatures with hardier skin or armour.
Osanyin crystalwings are gentle creatures despite their formidable size and appearance - until their gardens and forests are threatened. Found mostly in temperate and northern biomes, where they can blend in better, osanyin are guardians of nature. Each osanyin family chooses a forest or a garden to guard as their own, where they raise their hatchlings and defend against any intruders that seek to harm their trees and plants. An osanyin-protected spot of nature will always grow well, which has led magi to befriend these crystalwings and encourage them to choose Keep and city gardens, as well as nearby farmlands and rural areas. In return for their protection, magi provide osanyin crystalwings with offerings taken from their harvests, whether grains, fruit, or a portion of carefully logged trees.
