Male Hatchling
Name: unnamed
Species: Starclad Mink
Birthday: Saturday, February 13, 2021
Owner: WolfeDente
Element: Void 
Two days after a mink hatchling emerges from the egg, their star patterns appear and do not change. Even when newly hatched, predictions can be made about their personalities, success and luck in life based on the patterns, but many people pay no attention to those predictions. What is definitely known is that starclad mink hatchlings are somewhat mischievous, and love to play hide and seek with their magi, whether the magi wants to or not. Excellent climbers and swimmers, there are very few places a small mink can’t get to.
Starclad minks are considered creatures of fortune--both good and bad. Many modern magi put no stock in old beliefs, but many still believe that careful readings of the star patterns on their bodies can predict the luck of the magi who is bonded with them or those who stay nearby them. Predictions can extend even to the mink itself, such as certain patterns indicating that some minks will have long lives or have many hatchlings. Others will be quickly eaten by a predator. Of course, this belief has led many to attempt to breed minks for the express purpose of harvesting the fur of those with the greatest luck, and magi at the keep commonly shut down such operations.
