Frozen Male Hatchling
Name: unnamed
Species: Giant Cukurba
Birthday: Friday, October 30, 2020
Owner: Darkrai
Element: Light 
This was not the giant pumpkin you had hoped it would be, it seems to be a cukurba, but it is much larger than any normal hatchling cukurba you have seen. Curkubas move extremely slowly. Once in motion, though, they will stop for nothing. There isn't an obstacle in the world that could stop a determined young cukurba from reaching its goal. There is no reason trying, either – cukurba hatchlings can take care of themselves perfectly well, and need little looking after. They're social able enough creatures, though, and will happily approach their magi, regardless if they are holding a piece of pumpkin or not. Other companions seem to enjoy their company as well, and these hatchlings do not lack for playmates.
These companions are among the kindest and most selfless of creatures, and are well liked throughout the world. Although cukurbas move incredibly slowly, nothing will stop them from reaching their destinations, which always hold some significance. They may be on the path to find a person consumed by sadness, or even to halt an horrific event. They do so without much action at all – they simply find the correct human or animal, and touch them. Through this touch, cukurbas are able to inject feelings of joy, but also of energy and selflessness. Whomever they come in contact with somehow becomes more cheerful in the following hours, and is likely to pass that cheer on. They do so through seemingly insignificant acts, such as making a pie or easing someone's work. Somehow, these simple acts grow and pass from person to person, transforming the entire mood of the castle. These companions themselves, however, rarely step foot inside The Keep's walls. Cukurba prefer the wilds of the outdoors, and will roam from the depths of the forest to the comfort of The Keep's gardens. This is where these creatures are usually found, when the day turns dark and night approaches. Cukurbas retreat into their shells to rest, and resemble nothing more than rather large pumpkins.
