Frozen Male Hatchling
Name: unnamed
Species: Cobalt Wyvern
Birthday: Saturday, September 12, 2009
Owner: junebug07
Element: Earth
You watch as your egg cracks and a small hatchling emerges. It looks like a miniature dragon, and is the color of the water it loves to hide in, glimmering light blue and purple. Swimming around, snatching insects out of the air, this little serpentine beast soon tires itself out and you have to search through the waters to find it, curled up tightly in sleep on the sandy bottom. You pick it up with care, cradling it against your chest. It complains at being moved, little teeth snarling unhappily. Making your way to The Keep, you tuck it into its soft bed, arranging its bright rocks and gems around it.
Wyverns are the smaller cousins of dragons, reaching no higher than a magi's chest. They differ in color as well, their scales shimmering cobalt. Living high in the mountains, wyverns have evolved to be extremely agile, avoiding creatures with greater strength. Unable to breathe flame or carry a rider, wyverns take joy in carrying messages and flying high to map out the terrain. Burrowing deep in the ground, these small reptilians are fiercely protective of their small hoards of gems. Wyverns shed their skin every few years, and their metallic scales make beautiful jewelry and extremely durable clothing.
