Spectrum hatchlings are long, sinuous creatures bristling with crystals, though these crystals don't yet have the colors they'll attain when the crystalwing is fully grown. They don't particularly like being handled, and many magi avoid it without wearing heavy protective clothing and gloves; the crystals are sharp and can easily cut skin, though spectrum crystalwings are rarely actively aggressive. Spectrum hatchlings can use their crystals to create light and especially enjoy using it to light up dark corners to see what's in them.
Crystalwings are rare, shy creatures who often seem to spawn more myths than actual fact. Even for a crystalwing, the spectrum crystalwing is a rare sight, spotted most often just at the tail end of storms high up near the Caves of Nareau. The most unique thing about spectrum crystalwings is their food source and the source of their coloring: they eat the gems shed by other crystalwings. The crystals they shed once a year are hard to find as they're often in the highest reaches of the mountains and often only visible when the light is just right after rain. Little else is known about spectrum crystalwings, though many magi are involved in the research to discover exactly how they digest gems.
