Female Hatchling
Name: unnamed
Species: Forest Spirit Wumpyrr
Birthday: Monday, March 1, 2021
Owner: Seabra
Element: Life 
Young wumpyrrs are smaller versions of the adults, with many of the same behaviors. They are shy and can be anxious, preferring to hide in dark places rather than interact with their magi. The life magic in their bodies is unstable, and their humming song is disjointed and even more eerie sounding than an adult's would be. They still try to heal those around them who need it, however, singing loudly if they sense anyone nearby who might benefit. Because adult wumpyrr never age or die, they rarely procreate, and young wumpyrrs are incredibly rare in the wild.
There are many tales told of fearsome beasts that stalk the dark forests and still waters near coastal villages. With terrifying, bony visages, long claws and wings, and glowing runes along their bodies, they are said to bring fear and destruction wherever they go. They will stalk those who are injured and sick, siphoning their strength with an eerie moaning until the person perishes. If anyone gets close enough to read the runes, they will be cursed for the rest of their lives. Such tales have been passed down for ages, until a magi finally decided to seek the truth of these creatures. She could never get close, spending ages seeking out what she had almost decided was a myth, until one day she fell down a ravine in the deep forest. With an injured ankle, she worried about being able to make it back to the Keep--until one of the creatures poked its bony head from the brush. With a quick burst of magic and an eerie hum, the magi's ankle was healed, and the creature fled. No marks of its passing remained, except for an egg for the magi to care for.
