Female Hatchling
Name: unnamed
Species: Nightshade Hearthhound
Birthday: Monday, October 5, 2020
Owner: Kestrad
Element: Fire 
As hatchlings, hearthhounds are clumsy, bumbling little things, always doing their best to keep their magi in sight. Their fires can sometimes blaze too hot, and they quickly learn to keep them in check, often needing only one mistake to learn what temperature their magi prefer. They howl sadly when left alone for too long, and their fires will burn brighter, as though they are trying to signal however they can for their magi to come home.
While they look menacing, these creatures are anything but. Their fur glows with the light and heat of fiery embers, but they use this heat for little other than to warm themselves, or to keep the blankets and pillows they like to sleep on their preferred temperature. They have exquisite control of the temperature the fires on their body burn, and never show any aggression. They are favored pets for keeping fires burning in a fireplace all night long on cold nights. They prefer to follow whoever they have bonded with, but are not suited for energetic work or combat. They prefer to go on short hikes for fun, and then snuggle up on a pile of blankets or on a person's lap, radiating comforting heat.
