Species: Lakiran Kalistavri
Birthday: Thursday, September 13, 2018
Owner: SeriousSans
Element: Life
Any magi looking to raise a lakiran kalistavri must first ensure they have an adequate supply of salmon or other fish available. Young hatchlings are incredibly food motivated and do not yet understand the difference between common pond minnows and companion dragon koi. Fortunately for the koi they are rather clumsy fishers, though more than a few magi have had moments of terror watching a flock of hungry juvenile lakiran kalistavri hurtle full speed towards the lake in an attempt at a snack.
Making their homes in the area around Lake Lakira, these small birds can often be seen hunting koi and other fish in the lake. They are also common companions among the makers of staffs and wands for the use of their feathers during the enchanting process, in particular wands intended for use by healers. This is because the feathers of the kalistavri absorb and contain the magic of any magical creatures they eat, thus allowing the birds to heal themselves and others. The more magic they absorb, the stronger the enchantments that can be created, thus making them valuable companions. This is not without drawbacks though, as magi who wish to raise lakiran kalistavri as companions must be careful to train them to only eat wild koi or non magical fish, lest heartbreak follow. Some magi have begun conducting experiments to see if kalistavri can absorb the effects of magical potions but so far the results have been inconclusive.
