Owner: Kestrad
Element: Water/Fire
The tank you prepared for your Arkenian ice worm seems to be empty. Puzzled, you cautiously dip your hand into the water before yanking it right back out, gasping at the cold. As you shake your hand, now numb from the cold, you see small ripples in the tank's substrate. A tiny head pops out and you watch in surprise as it seems to wave its antenna at you. The ice worm hatchling scoots through the substrate and right up to the glass, and yes, it is indeed waving at you. You wave back and laugh as your hatchling wiggles back into its burrow, apparently content to nap until you provide it with dinner.
Arkenian ice worms are found in and around the northern most seas. They normally are found in the deepest underwater caves, creating massive burrows where they lie in wait for unsuspecting prey. Though terrifying in appearance, Arkenian ice worms are in fact very friendly towards their chosen magi, and will happily wrap themselves around their magi for a cuddle. Water magi have reported great success in training ice worms to guard areas, and it is indeed the rare individual who can slip past an ice worm unnoticed. When visiting an ice worm's burrow, it is advised to be extremely careful where you place your feet lest you loose one.
