Male Hatchling
Name: unnamed
Species: Dionych Crystalwing
Birthday: Saturday, May 16, 2020
Owner: Kestrad
Element: Void 
A dionych crystalwing hatchling is all limbs and tail, with a tendency to trip over its own claws and hooves. They're slim to start and enjoy cramming themselves through the tiniest places, at least until they grow old enough that they begin to bulk up. As hatchlings their wings are fairly useless and their awkwardness slows them down, but only for a short while. As they grow bigger, they gain control over their limbs and prove to be remarkably fast both on foot and on the wing. Hatchling dionych tend to be friendly and like to cuddle when they're not playing with each other or any other creature willing.
Dionych crystals of either colour are considered a great prize, both for their beauty and for their ability to either prevent nightmares or bring about pleasant dreams. Dionych crystalwings themselves are good companions for most magi, friendly enough that they can be trained - as long as they're kept away from apple trees - but powerful enough for defense. They're also generally easy keepers, especially if magi allow them to roam freely and ensure they can hunt enough meat to feed themselves and any hatchlings.
